Unfamiliar Feeling Called, Love?

Chapter 38

KISHA's PoV

Pagkarating namin ni Harvey sa hospital ay agad na kaming dumiretso ng punta sa room where Jhared was confined. Pagpasok namin doon ay nadatnan namin sina Shami at Jhared na magkaharap. Shami was on a chair habang si Jhared naman ay nasa bed, it seems like seryoso silang nag-uusap, but it seems wrong timing kami or somewhat naka-interrupt dahil pareho silang natigilan at napatingin sa amin upon our arrival.

"Kisha, Harvey darating pala kayo." Shami approached us smilingly and very angelic.

I only flashed her a ngiti before I turned my eyes on Jhared. He was a little pale, naka-dextrose at naka-patients gown. Nakatingin lang siya sa amin ni Harvey, and later that moment he flashed me a ngiti.

"How are you na?" I asked him nang naka-stand na ako sa tapat niya.

"I'm bit of well now, my temperature just dropped down, thanks to the doctors and nurses." he answered.

Napangiti ako dahil sa narinig, "Buti naman."

Afterwards I crossed my arms at napaismid, may naalala lang, "I told you nga kasi na magpahatid ka nalang kay manong driver sa kasagsagan ng ulan but your head is so matigas, ayan tuloy you got yourself a fever."

"Does your current gesture means you're concern?" he asked with his eyes being nailed on me too much. Umawang ang jaw ko at napapitok-pitok ng mga eyes upon realizing I really am acting concern.

Hindi ako kaagad nakasagot tuloy. Hindi niya dapat mahalatang concern nga naman talaga ako sa kanya dahil baka kung mag-isip pa siya ng others. Like hell, his condition is making me insane the entire morning.

I glared at him, "Of course I am."

"I-I'm just nag-aalala kasi about our research paper." dagdag ko pa.

"Yes, tama, I am really nag-aalala about our research paper." sabi ko pa, palusot perhaps? Wews, it's true but slight lang, kasi the real reason why I am concern is that I'm truly worried about him.

"Kisha, Jhared, labas muna ako para magkausap kayo ng maayos." it was Shami, she said that and smiled politely before going out. Wala na rin pala si Harvey sa loob, it seems lumabas siya nang hindi ko nano-notice.

Bumaling na ako kay Jhared the moment Shami finally went out of the room.

I sat by the chair and said, "Anyway, I got the paper na may list ng research titles, I presumed it was you who put that on my mesa."

He nodded as an affirmation.

"Oh well, naka-submit na ako ng titles kay ma'am. Let's just wait for her response." sabi ko pa, he was jus staring at me.

He remained like that for the next several moments, like literal na tumahimik tuloy ang paligid.

I was bothered, naka-feel ng awkwardness dahil sa titig niya. I gulped, there's this feeling that's starting to occupy my heart again.

"What? What are you looking at?" basag ko sa katahimikan, tinaasan ko pa siya ng kilay.

"Hanggang dito sa hospital academics pa rin inaatupag mo." he said with an expression of disappointment.

"Well, what are you expecting ba? What are you expecting for me to say?"

"Just be a little polite. I'm expecting more."

I glared, "Kaloka. What nga kasi?-"

"-na mag-focus muna sa'kin." he cut me off, nabigla ako, and my jaw dropped out of pagkabigla.

Tumahimik na naman kami, nagkatinginan pa rin habang kinakain ako ng awkwardness.

Tugdug...
