Mamahalin Kita ng Malayo

CHAPTER 56

Imee's POV
I woke up and I saw Roderick na nakatulog sa upuan. "God! Bakit ba hindi bumalik sa kwarto niya 'tong lalaking toh? (In her mind)" I grab my phone and it's currently 5 in the morning palang pala. I was about to sleep again but I notice na parang nilalamig siya so I get up then look for some extra blanket.

As I place the blanket, his eyes slowly open and smile at me so lumayo ako agad.

Rod: Good morning, Doc.

Imee: Ba-bakit hindi ka bumalik sa kwarto mo? (Then raised her eyebrow)

Rod: Eh naisip ko kasi baka bigla kang — (didn't finish his words cuz Imee speak up)

Imee: Lumabas ka na (then crossed her arms)

Rod: A-are you okay na ba?

I didn't speak, I just gave him a serious look so he immediately stood up. He even check what time is it and got confused.

Rod: Ang aga palang ah. Matulog ka muna.

Imee: Lumabas ka na.

Rod: Babalik ka sa baryo nila Aling Dolores mamaya diba?

I didn't bother to speak again. Hindi ko talaga alam kung hirap makaintindi o bingi o sadyang makulit lang 'tong lalaking toh.

Rod: Anong oras ka pupunta?

Imee: Bakit ba?

Rod: Sasamahan nalang kita ulit.

Imee: Hindi, may sasakyan na ako. In fact, susunduin ako dito ng maaga kaya please, lumabas ka na.

Rod: Kasama mo ba sila Sam?

Imee: Hindi.

Rod: So mag-isa mo?

Imee: As I said earlier, may susundo sakin diba? So sa tingin mo ba mag-isa ako?

Rod: Sino bang susundo sayo?

Imee: Tsk! (rolled her eyes)

Rod: Hindi mo kasama sila Sam tapos sasama ka sa hindi mo kilala? Okay, sige. Ikaw ang bahala.

After Rod tell those words, I gave him a confused look.

Rod: Look, kahit pa staff ng mayor ang kasama mo mamaya hindi tayo nakakasigurado kung mabuting tao yun, Imee. So you better think, mas gugustuhin mo bang kasama yung taong hindi mo kilala o ako na sinasabihan mo ng sinungaling at manloloko but despite of that atleast kilalang-kilala at nakasama mo na?

When Rod ask me, he immediately went out of my room while ako naman napaisip sa tanong niya. "Hayst! Aalis ka na nga mag-iiwan ka pa ng iisipin ko?! Kainis ka talaga!" After a couple of minutes, naramdaman kong parang sumakit ulit ang ulo ko I lay on the bed muna besides maaga pa naman.

At exactly 6 am I get up then took a bath. I chose simple sleeves and black jeans then paired with white shoes. To be honest hanggang ngayon eh nilalamig pa din ako at hindi pa ganon kaganda ang pakiramdam ko pero I need to go there and give their meds. It can't be wait. Those meds must be delivered on time.
