"It was delicious. I just didn't want you to get of the hook so easily." She shooked her head and chuckled slightly.
"Ako na ba..?" Tumango ako.
I saw her bit her lip, hard. Those lips..
"Hmm.. I almost got killed." My fist clenched into a hard rock. I closed my eyes, trying to contain myself.
I felt her hand rubbing my fist.
"OA mo ah. Wala na yun okay? Part na yun ng past ko." Bakit pakiramdam ko parang hindi naman siya seryoso sa last statement niya? Napabuntong hininga na lang ako.
"Can you tell me more?" She shrugged.
"Hmm.. Maybe a little more." Nakita kong nag iisip siya. Sana naman mas linawan pa niya yung Ikekwento niya.
"Ako yung blacksheep ng buong family namin. As in buo.. Haha, hanggang sa grandparents." Napakunot ang noo ko.
"Bakit naman?" Tanong ko.
"Hindi ko alam. Ang lagi nilang sinasabi ay malas daw ako at hindi daw ako katulad ng kapatid ko. Ewan ko ba hahaha.." Parang isang mapait na tawa ang kanyang binitawan.
Tahimik lang ako habang nagke-kwento siya. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong magsalita.
I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer. I saw her smile, shyly.
"Hmm ano pa ba? Uhm.. Maraming tao may ayaw sa akin. Masama daw ugali ko.." Kinuha ko ang isang kamay niya at iniyakap ko sa katawan ko. Why would anyone hate her? I mean.. I like her.
Nakahiga siya ngayon sa dibdib ko habang yakap ko siya at ganun din siya sa akin. Nilingon ko ang orasan at nakitang 5:03 A.M. na. Halos isang oras na pala kaming nag uusap.
Naramdaman kong medyo nababasa yung sando ko. Umiiyak ba siya?
"Hey, hey.. Are you crying?" Unti unti ko siyang inangat at iniharap sa akin.
"Ahaha sorry, medyo inaantok pa rin kasi ako. Tapos yung pinag uusapan pa natin... Hahaha matulog na nga lang ulit tayo." Sabi niya at saka humiga ng patalikod sa akin.
I admit, she seems a bit crazy sometimes.. But I pity her.. She needs help and no one else can help her but me.
I lied back down and hugged her.
"Go to sleep, baby. I'll be here." She nodded and I didn't notice that I also fell asleep.
