"You don't need to do that," I said and pulled my hand away from his grip.
He grimaced and held firmly my hand. "Be still."
I pouted. Kanina pa niya hawak-hawak ang kamay ko. I insisted that I would take care of my wound but Japen was hardheaded. Hindi niya ako hinayaang hawakan ang first aid kit. He was the one who's taking care of the open wound. There were times that I grimaced but often, Japen was gentle.
"Hindi mo kayang humawak ng kutsilyo, Azora. Sa susunod, ako na ang magbubukas."
I nodded but my forehead creased. "Then you should teach me how to open it using a knife."
He finished cleaning up and covering the wound with a gauze. Then, he stared at me. "Ako na ang gagawa, maliwanag?"
I stared back at him. I narrowed my eyes. "I want to learn. Won't you let me?"
Bumuntong-hi
