Imperfections

Pagkatapos nang masinsinan naming pag-uusap. Syllvester immediately tidied up the dining area. He cleans up, and I do the dishes.

"I'll go upstairs... I still have some work to finish in the library room. Sleep early, Yureev." ani Syllvester.

"Ah sige! Good night," I gave him a smile at tinanguan niya naman ako at umalis na papuntang library room.

Bakit ba ayaw niyang magpahinga ng mas mahabang oras? Maaga pa naman pero kasi sa tingin ko'y kailangan niya ng mahaba-habang pahinga.

I just shrugged it off and left it to him. It's what he wants anyway, to be fully engrossed in work.

I hurriedly washed the dishes so I could rest.

Iniwanan ko nalang na naka bukas ang ilaw sa living at dining area at pumanhik na papunta sa kwarto ko.

Before retiring for the night. I decided to take a shower kasi ang lagkit na sa katawan.

After thoroughly cleansing myself, inabot ko ang tuwalya. Wrapping it around my body to absorb the moisture.

I dried my hair, relishing in the comforting sensation of the soft fabric against my scalp.

Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Lumabas na ako at naglakad malapit sa kama.

The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room.

Hanggang sa natuyo na ang buhok ko gamit ang blower ay nagpasya na akong humiga.

Habang ako'y nakahiga, hindi ko mapigilang isipin ang usapan namin kanina. I suspect that Liustheo was the one who did it.

Nakakasigurado akong wala pang ginagawa 'yon ngayon o siguro nga ay may matagal na itong pinaplano? I can face my father again, but the fear of him taking me away still lingers.

I feel deeply troubled by the situation. I can see that Syllvester is afraid for my safety as well. Lubos akong nag-aalala sa posibilidad na baka ako ang tinutugis ng mga kaaway.

I'm trying to stay calm and rational but it's hard not to let my emotions get the best of me. I'm feeling really scared and anxious inside. Naalala ko kung paano niya ibinahagi ang kaniyang takot tungkol sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon.

Takot para sa akin.

My thoughts are running wild with possibilities of what might have happened to cause the attack.

I stared at the ceiling of my room, there's nothing going onto my mind right now other than the conversation we had earlier.

The house is quiet, very quiet. I could hear the breathing of this house in every corner of it.

Maingat kong pinag-iisipan kung tatanggapin ko ang alok niya na magtrabaho para sa kaniya.

After all, no one would probably recognize me, lalo na't ang kasal namin ni Syllvester ay lihim. Kaya hindi ko rin alam sino-sino lang ang nakaka-alam.

If I work for his company, won't I get in trouble?

I was in that position until sleepiness visited me.

Yureev and I quickly said goodbye because I had some library work to complete up. It was only paperwork, it wasn't much work.

I got comfortable in the swivel chair and began reading the documents I also needed to approve. I was reading when I had a thought about what Yureev and I had discussed. I admit that I'm worried about whatever might happen to her.
