He's Mad

24.5: Honey in Korea 2

Paano palabasin ang Hot water? Hindi ko alam bes.

Sorry na ha. Kakababa ko lang kasi ng bundok kaya wala akong ka alam alam! But I can't ask Jhiro to come here dahil naka hubad na ako tanging towel na lang ang saplot ko sa katawan. So for the sake of not to embarrass myself infront of him again. I tried to turn on the shower, kaso ng ipihit ko na iyon biglang lumabas ang napakalamig na tubig! I was so startled dahil parang yelo ang lamig niyon! Napasigaw ang Lola niyo.

BANG!

" WHAT HAPPENED!? " Sigaw ni Jhiro, panicked was all over his face habang tinitignan ako from head to toe,

"AHHHHH!!!!!" I shouted again at inihagis sakaniya yung sabon. He closed the door at sumigaw sa labas. " I-I'm sorry, you shouted so loudly. Akala ko kung ano n-na " he stuttered.

" Yung h-hot water kasi hindi ko alam palabasin. " Sabi ko habang mahigpit na nakahawak sa towel na nasa katawan ko. Sumagot naman agad siya.

" Try opening the other one. " He instructed, and the water did came out hot. Ang tanga tanga lang Chiyo.

" O-ok na, thanks... " I shyly said. Narinig ko namang naglakad na siya paalis. Seriously, this isn't good for my heart.

After showering and realized na may katangahan na naman akong ginawa. WALA AKONG NADALANG DAMIT!? I face palm myself. Chiyo naman! Ano yan absent minded? Nalula sa view? Oh sa sexing bato na yun?

Dahil nangyari na at wala na akong magagawa pa. I braced myself going out like this pero I saw a closet katapat nang sink. Bath robe! Dali dali ko iyong binuksan at nakakita nga ako. I wear that and came out. Pero nang lumabas ako at saktong nandoon si Jhiro na umiinom ng tubig. He glanced at me sabay nasanib. He was coughing none stop. Anyare? " ok ka lang? " I worriedly asked, pero ng lalapit na ako ay itinaas niya lamang ang isa niyang kamay and muttered " Get change " Sabay ubo. I nodded at pumasok na sa kwarto.

Weird.

Ang awkward.

Kasalukuyan akong nakahiga sa malambot na king sized bed, and was wrapped with the comfy comforter. But I can't sleep! Sobrang haba at hectic ng araw na ito pero hindi man lang magawang magpahinga ng utak ko. Specially when Jhiro just lazingly sits beside me at the very end of the bed while reading some documents. As usual, hindi naman niya ako kinakausap or pinapansin. There's nothing to do but to sleep. Nang sumilip ako sa gawi niya ay busy lamang siyang nagbabasa. Tsk, Ang dry talaga niyang kasama. I faced my back on him. Pointless din kasi kahit titigan ko pa siya magdamag wala ding mangyayari.

Sobrang tahimik. Wala namang maririnig na anuman, walang jeep na bumubusina o 'di kaya tricycle na humaharurot. All can hear is the air conditioner purring softly. Kahit ata sarili kong heartbeats pwede ko nang marinig.

I slowly closed my eyes.. sa paningin talaga ni Jhiro, I'm nothing but a surfboard.

I drifted off to sleep. Nang mga ilang oras.. because somehow bigla nalang akong nagising. I slowly walked and looks around. Nakapatay lahat nang ilaw, tanging ang lampshade lang sa sala ang maaninag. I headed there, nang makita si Jhiro!? He's looking at me seductively. Naka unbutton ang white polo shirt niya. He was drinking wine at nakatalikod siya sa salaming bintana na nagpapakita ng napakagandang view.
