— jay's.

hindi ko naman mapigilang hindi mapatingin sa pwesto ni artemis when she suddenly started whispering words to herself. napapa make face pa ang toyo sa harapan ko kaya i'm now wondering kung ano na naman bang binubulong niya sa sarili niya.

padabog na nilapag ni art yung gunting at tumingin ng masama sakin.

medyo nagulat naman ako. i didn't expect that sudden glare from her.

"for sure matutuwa yung pinaka special woman sa buhay mo kapag nalaman niyang ikaw gumawa ng cake na gift mo for her." again, i forced myself not to laugh. she's smiling kasi pero ang sama parin tumingin.

sabi na iba iisipin niya sa special woman na 'yan.

"that's for sure, artemis." pang aasar ko pa saka pinag patuloy 'tong ginagawa ko habang nakangiti.

"pangiti ngiti ka na ngayon dyan porket babae mo usapan natin? ayos ka pala— aray!" mabilis na nabitawan ni art yung gunting na hawak niya kaya mabilis akong pumunta sa pwesto niya to pull her bleeding hand.

— art's.

"bakit ba kasi pati daliri mo ginugupit mo?" napairap nalang ako nang biglang mag sungit na naman si tatang jay. nasaktan na nga ako, susungitan pa ko. lakas ng toyo.

"wala, naisip ko lang bigla na bawasan yung kamay ko ng isang daliri—" jay gave me death glare saka ako hinila palapit sa sink. erey ke nemen

he helped me wash my finger, pero hindi parin 'to humihinto sa pag dugo. nag iinit rin kasi ulo ko sayo jay.

— jay's.

"does it hurt a lot?" i asked. she shook her head, still frowning. napapailing nalang talaga ako. 

she surely has anger management issue. she can't control her emotions.

"it's for my mom." she looked at me.

"the cake that we're making. it's for my mom, artemis. birthday niya next week." bigla namang lumiwanag yung face niya. literally from frowning to smiley realquick.

"your heart is beautiful, just like your face." this time, hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at tumawa because of how fast her mood changes.

"wag ka pa sanang kunin ni lord, jay. magpapakasal pa kasi tayo." she started brushing my hair. i hate it. but since it's art, i let her.

"stop exposing yourself na sobrang gusto mo ako." she shrugged.

"atleast aware ka. kaya alam mo na ah? bawal ka na sa iba, may nag hihintay na sayong blessing." blessing.

pinagpatuloy ko nalang ang pag huhugas sa kamay niya, but this shit won't stop from bleeding.

i have no choice.

i looked at her, and started to suck the blood from her finger.

i felt her slightly flinched. she didn't see that coming.

"b-bakit mo naman kinikiss yung daliri ko kung pwede namang pisngi ko nalang—" nasamid ako ng sobra, to the point na nabitawan ko yung kamay niya.

"artemis—"

"joke lang, boss" she smiled, as if nothing happend. nag peace sign pa.

i shook my head. i can't handle her anymore isgt.

umalis ako sa harapan niya.

"wash your hands, at mag ingat ka na." sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

artemis pouted, and started washing her hand.

"oo na nga, sungit. hmp" i can't believe her, jinjja.
