Beneath a Moonless Sky (Wild Love Series #2)

Chapter 5

Kanina sabi ko kung magiging tutor ko siya ititigil ko na ang kahibangan ko pero kung sakali mang pumayag nga siya, matitigil ko ba talaga? Sigurado na ba talagang ititigil ko na 'to? Hindi ko na alam.

As I got out of the car, Manang hurriedly went to me. I was asked a lot of questions and I answered all of it. Inakay ako nila papasok sa kwarto ko at sakto namang bumaba si Kuya sa hagdan. His face immediately went from all smiles to worried. 

Dali-dali siyang bumaba at binuhat ako papunta sa kwarto ko habang si Manang naman ay kumuha ng mga gamot. Inilapag ako ni Kuya sa higaan ko at dumeretso siya sa cr para kunin ay robe ko at pinasuot sa akin dahil basa ang suot ko.

He also turned on the heater instead of the aircon and placed both his hands on his hips. Dumating din sina Manang at isa pang katulong na may dalang gamot. Umalis muna si Kuya sa kwarto dahil maliligo muna ako bago magamutan na iyong sugat ko.

"What the hell, Selene?! Why do you have a scratch? And why are you wet?!" Nag-alalang tanong niya.

Manang is now treating my wound so he saw the scratch on my knee. Nagkatinginan kami ni Manang at nagpipigil ng tawa dahil sa reaksyon ni Kuya. He's too oa. Tinawagan pa niya iyong family doctor namin para e-checkup ako. Baka daw may bali na buto na ako.

"Kuya, don't be so oa nga." Manang stood up 'cause she was done with the treatment. "Nadulas lang ako sa ground."

Kuya flickered my forehead, "Aw!" I shouted.

"Pag nalaman 'to ni mamá..."

"H-Hoy! Don't tell mamá! Wag mo kong ilaglag kuya huhu..." I pleaded.

He rolled his eyes, "Ba't ba kasi ang lampa mo."

Nabahiran ng pagkairita ang mukha ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Wala talaga siyang hiya. After a lot of talking I told them to go out 'cause I badly need some rest but the truth is that I just wanted time for my self.

I reached out my phone and decided to message Kuya Eros. Nang makuha ko na iyon ay doon ko lang naalala na I don't have his phone number in my contacts. I should just ask his number from Kuya tommorow. 

I just slept because I was drowsy. When I woke up the next morning, I took a shower and dressed in dolphin shorts and a thin top before coming down. Nagpaika-ika ako as I went down the stairs because of my knee.

"Manang! Where is Kuya?" Tawag ko dahil nang makababa ako ay wala akong makita ni-isang anino. "Where the hell are they?" 

I went straight to the kitchen and I grabbed a glass. I headed towards the refrigerator and took the jug with cold water then poured it into the glass. I felt relief when the cold water draws into my throat. I put the glass down while savoring the coldness of the water.

"How do you feel?"

Lumingon ako sa likod ko kung saan nanggagaling ang boses na 'yun. Nabulunan ako ng makita kung sino iyon. Naabutan ko siyang nakasandal sa counter habang may suot na apron at may hawak na apple.
