Mabigat ang talukap na nagmulat ng mata si Uriel. She tried to open her dry mouth and dizziness struck her. Mabigat rin ang katawan niya na halatang hindi niya maigalaw.
Napahawak siya sa noo at naramdaman ang init n’yon.
Nilalagnat siya, pero hindi siya p’wedeng mag-absent. Kakaltasan kasi ang sahod niya ng isang libro. Hindi katulad ng dati na mataas ang perang nakukuha niya, ngayon ay sampung libo na lang.
Nissan barked and licked her hands. She smiled slightly. Tinuro niya ang bote ng tubig. The dog looked at it and as if he knew what she wanted to say, the dog immediately leaped out and grabbed the bottle using its mouth.
“Very good, Nissan,” mahinang sambit ni Uriel saka hinaplos ang ulo nito. The dog was happy when the human praised him. His tail was wagging happily.
Dahan-daha
