IT WAS raining heavily when we were about to get home. I don't watch news so I didn't know that it'll rain.
I looked at Lio and saw that he was asleep. His cheeks were swollen because he was drunk.
"Ang bigat mo!" I said feeling his weight dahil akay-akay ko siya sa balikat ko.
When we got to the stairs I called dad to take care of Lio because i was also wet from the rain so I had to take a shower. I was wearing pajamas pairs and when I got down I found Lio lying on the sofa.He didn't even wake up. He's sleeping in peace.
Bakit ka ba kasi uminom?
I sat beside him while he was asleep. I touch his cheek towards his nose until I arrived at his lips. His pink lips are as good as stuff toys. Looks soft but when you touched it it's satisfying.
But what's the taste?
"Hmmm..." Rinig kong daing niya at gumalaw siya muntik pang mahulog sa sofa mabuti na lang at nasalo ko.
"Careful." I whispered.He is still deep asleep even though he almost fall on the floor.
I took a blanket in my bedroom to covered his body because it was cold. My dad opened the aircon here that's why.
I sat down in the little sofa next to him and leaned my head. I close my eyes so I can rest for awhile.
It's fine that I'm going to sleep late because we don't have a class. I will only help Mama because she will plant a rose again but in front of our house.
I felt the cold so I hugged myself. Ilang sandali pa may narinig akong yapak ng mga paa kaya nagising ako.
Nang tignan ko si Lio pala papalapit sa akin. Dala dala niya ang kumot na inilagay ko sa kaniya kanina
"What?" Bulong kong tanong sa kaniya.
"It's cold" he said and gave me the blanket
"It's okay," Paninigurado ko at binalik sa kaniya ang kumot. "I'm fine." I saw the concern on his eyes.
He did not answer instead he cover my body with the blanket be used. I smell the beer and his masculine smell mixed together in the blanket.
He was very comfortable in this home dahil halos dito na tumira iyan noon.I saw him go to kitchen to drink water. When he returned he was silent again in the sofa.
I tried to sleep again but I couldn't. I glanced at him I saw his arm covering his face.
I got the chance to look his features. Started with his thick eyebrows. His nose. His soft cheek. His lip--
"Stop staring." I avoided my glance when he speaks.
"I'am not looking at you, noh!"s**t I'm really bad at lying!
He did not speak again and when I turned around Isaw him sleeping. I've also closed my eyes and slept.
Nang mag umaga na nauna pa akong nagising kay Lio. Ang kumot na ginamit ko ay nilagay ko sa kaniya.
I go to my bedroom and took a shower. I'am wearing a shorts and beige shirts.
When I went infront of our house I saw my mom. she started to clean the ground and the soil. I took the gloves and tools to help her. She did not talk to me because she's busy cleaning.When I tried remove the Soil some little dust went into my eyes kaya napuwing ako.
"Ahhh mama!" Tawag konsa kaniya at kinusot ko ang mata ko. She looked at me and removed her gloves.
"Open." Sabi niya at hinipan ang mata ko hanggang sa nawala ang alikabok do'n.
Nagpatuloy kami sa pagtatanim. Tinutulungan naman kami ng ibang hardinero kapag may kailangan kami ni mama. Nang matapos kami dumeretso ako sa Kwarto ko para makapag shower ulit nang hindi pinapansin si Lio.
Habang nagpapatuyo ako ng buhok may natinig akong tatlong katok mula sa pinto ko.
"Come in!" Sigaw ko dahil tinatamad na akong pagbuksan siya.
"Marienda is ready," My heart stop beating for awhile when I heard his voice.
'Why?' I asked my self.
"Celestine." He called me using my second name which made me hate hil for awhile.
"Can't you wait downstairs?" Inis kong sabi sa kaniya nang hindi siya nililingunan.
Narinig ko ang pagsarado ng pinto hudyat na nakaalis na siya. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag at tinignan ang sarili ko sa salamin.
When my hair is totally dry I immediately went to the garden.
I found a yellow chair, yellow plate, yellow straw that is in glasses, all yellow and only two chairs were there and I saw a grilling on the side.
I saw Lio approaching the grilling. He's now wearing a dark yellow shirt and black shorts.
"What's this?" I asked then he glanced at me with no emotions.
"Think of what you want to think what's this." Bigla akong naguluhan sa sinabi niya. He gestured me to sit kaya umupo ako habang pinapanood siyang magluto ng beef.
"Hindi ba masakit ang likod mo?" Tanong ko dahil alam kong hindi siya sanay na matulog sa sofa.
He's an Schmitt what do you expect? They own a 20 company and 100 plus hotels around the world. That's not all... Her mom is a doctor so they also own a hospital here in our place.
"I'm fine you took care of me, remember?" Alam kong nagtatanong lang siya pero bakit parang nang-aasar siya para sa akin?
"I didn't," Pagtanggi ko naman at sa pool na lang binalingan ang tingin.
"Okay."
"Anong okay?!"
"I'll just think that you're not lying." Bigla at gusto ko siyang batukan pero mas nangibabaw ang hiya sa akin.
Ilang minuto pa ako nag hintay hanggang sa naluto na ang beef. Bigla akong matakam nang maamoy ko iyon.
"Let's eat." Aniya at naunang kumuha ng kanin at beef ako naman ang sumunod.
"By the way," napatigil siya sa pag nguya ng pagkain at tiningnan ako ng deretso. "Yellow?"
"It's your favorite." He shrugged and ate his food again.
It's your favorite... Bakit parang iba ang dating sa'kin no'n?
