Searing Burst of Rage (Fireheart 2)

Chapter 41

"Qué me recomienda?" I practiced.

I've been practicing Spanish the entire week since Alfe mentioned we're going to Spain. Ayoko namang iasa lahat kay Alfe porket marunong syang mag-Spanish. Nakakabilib lang na ngayon ko lang nalaman na kaya nyang mag Spanish, Italian at French. We'll I think it's easy for him and I think it's easy, they're similar. Kung bibigyan lang ako ng mas mataas na oras ni Alfe ay mamememorize ko ang mga basic. Parang gusto ko na rin matutunan ang mga languages. What I don't like about my interest to learn is that they pile up and I don't know where to begin or in which I best begin.

"¡Buenos días! ¡Buenas tardes! ¡Buenas noches!" patuloy ko sa pagrereview. Natapos ko na kasi hanggang sa dulo itong libro about basic phrases kaya bumalik ako sa unang pahina which is greetings.

"Hola, Hermosa!" sabat ni Alfe.

Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin dahil dinidisturbo nya ako.

"Estás más guapa cuando frunces el ceño."

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I said stop frowning. And, breakfast is ready," he answered as he reach for my wrist to pull me from the bean bag.

Nanliit ang mga mata ko sa kanya. I know she's lying. I could recognize guapa, but I'm not sure if he's telling me I am or not.

He gave me a laugh as he snatched the book away from my hand and then throw it on the bean bag. "Let's eat."

"I think you're my wife," I told him.

"Come on." He laughed and dragged me.

"Ah!" I twitched.

Nagpang-abot ang kilay ni Alfe na bumaling sa akin sabay tingin sa kamay nyang nakahawak sa palapulsuhan ko.

"What's wrong? I'm not gripping you so tight."

I smile mischievously.

He let go of my wrist, sighed, and bent down to carry me upside down with only an arm.

Natawa ako at mahinang pinagpapalo ang balikat nya. "I can walk, put me down. I was just teasing you."

Hindi nakinig si Alfe at ibinaba lang ako nang nasa tapat na kami ng lamesa. "You're getting heavier."

"Are you complaining about my weight?" naiinis na sabi ko.

"No, I'm not," he answered as he started placing food on my plate. "Eat a lot. Gain more weight so I don't have to go down to the gym and do weightlift," he teased more.

Itinulak ko ang plato ko. "I'm not eating. I'll skip for today."

He shook his head together with his pointer finger. "You will eat with me."

"Stop teasing me!" I yelled at him.

"Fine. Fine," he said laughing. "Do you want me to feed you?"

"May dalawa akong kamay!"

"Oo na. Kumain ka na."

Naiinis talaga ako kay Alfe minsan dahil ang lakas nyang mambiro tapos hindi naman ako pinapayagang hindi kumain kahit breakfast lang tapos palagi pa syang naghahanda ng snacks. He's working next room but he doesn't forget to prepare something to eat. I just discovered this side of him. I think it's fun that we're discovering new sides of each other.

In the afternoon, I resumed my study of Spanish when I heard a ring on Alfe's phone. I actually was waiting for Art's call. I talked to him yesterday about Dafiah. Even if I'm already here in Manila, moving away and starting anew, I am still thinking of Dafiah. I want to make sure she's okay and if she has recovered.
