Dealing with Mr. Scared of What? (Quadro Series #1)

Chapter 27

Sun spilled from the window. She yawn as she looks around and memory from last night came back to her mind. Agad naman siya napangiti nang makita niya si Kyx at Lorenzo na nakaupo sa harap niya. She chuckles seeing both the puppies, eyeing her curiously. Akmang tatayo siya ng mapansin niyang may kumot niya. Hindi iyon kumot, kurtina iyon. Kurtina para sa kwarto niya.

"Kurtina talaga."

She murmured as she stands up and folds the curtain. She's more than certain that Kyx was the one who put that curtain on her. Nang malinis na niya ang lugar ay agad naman siya lumapit sa mga kuneho na tumatalon- talon na. Pinakain niya ang mga ito at nilinis niya din ang dumi ng mga ito. Medyo nagulo na din ang pag-arrange ni Kyx.

Well, so much for first-time fur and aquatic parents. Ng matapos siya ay agad naman siyang pumunta sa kwarto niya at naligo. She has some office work to do. She does her routine before slipping in her dress she wanted to be comfortable today. "Babies. Behave. Okay?"

Pagkakausap niya sa mga hayop. A smile crept into her face seeing them hype up. She pats them all and said goodbye to both her aqua babies before leaving. She locks up her door before going to the elevator and presses the ground floor button. Driving, she was contacting Sunny. Late na siya kaya gusto niya itong sabihan. Baka may ibang kliyente pa ito.

["You're running late."] Bungad ni Sunny ng sagutin nito ang tawag. She chuckle at his tone, pero agad niya inayos ang sarili. "Sorry. May ginawa kasi ako kagabi, medyo napagod." Rason niya dito. The man on the other line chuckles. ["Okay. Just get here safe. I only have you and my other patient anyways."] Ani nito.

Nang makarating na siya sa office ni Sunny ay agad niya nakita ang binata na nakaupo sa pang-isahan sofa. Binati siya nito, she smiled before sitting on the sofa in front of him. Sunny ggrabbedhis usual notebook. Natawa naman siya. "Wala ka naman sinusulat sa notebook na yan." Ani niya.

Sunny chuckled. "Meron kaya." Pag- dedepensa ng binata. "Let's talk. Shall we?"

Tumango lang siya bago nagsalita. Nag-usap na nag usap lang silang dalawa hanggang sa nasama na si Kyx. Of course, she didn't mention Kyx's name. She told Sunny about her urge and will to help Kyx and the fact felt annoyed that Kyx sees her as another woman and not her. That Kyx didn't know her as her... But someone else.

Sunny eyes kinda lit up that making her insides turn upside down. Agad naman siya napatigil sa pagsasalita. Alam niya na kahit ano pwede niyang sabihin kay Sunny pero minsan... Basta, but it's true. These past days Kyx is on her mind. She even adopt all those animals for him, nakakairita dahil hindi niya alam kung bakit.

"Maybe. You see yourself as him." Ani ni Sunny bago umangat ang mata nito mula sa notebook na hawak nito. Hindi siya nagsalita. More like hindi siya makapag-salita. Sunny's words hit her like a truck. It make sense.

"I don't know this guy but if you have that urges and feelings towards him maybe you see yourself as him." Ani ni Sunny habang patuloy na nag-susulat sa notebook nito. "You recognize the same trauma. It's like a natural response. Treating him as you, helping and caring for him. For you that guy is you." Paliwanag ni Sunny.

Seeing Kyx as me?

Kyx has more traumatic past than me, I just know so. Maybe Sunny is right. Siguro nakikita ko lang si Kyx bilang ako noon kaya ganito na lang ang kagustuhan ko na matulungan siya. I see him as me when I was scared of everything, just like him. Maybe that's the answer to her question...is it really? May kung anong boses sa likod ng isip niya na kumukontra sa sinabi niya.
