“Ikaw kasi ang kulit-kulit mo ’yan tuloy napaso ka." I looked at him annoyed while holding his hand with burns. Nilalagyan ko iyon ng cream para hindi mamaga ng sobra at mangitim.

He looked at me sadly. “I just want to help you cook." He said to me.

I sighed and looked at him again. “Pero sabi ko saiyo diba sa susunod ka nalang tumulong." Umiling ako bago magpatuloy sa ginagawang paggamot sa parte ng kamay niyang may paso.

Nagpupumilit siyang tumulong magluto kanina kaya napaso siya. Malakas ang pagtalsik ng mantika kaya hindi ko na siya pinatulong, but he's really naughty, so he got burned.

We're done eating. Dapat nga ay kanina ko pa ito gagamutin kaso sabi niya pagkatapos nalang daw naming kumain. I didn't argue anymore and just let him do what he wanted to happen.

“I'm sorry, are you mad?" Kalaunan ay maamong tanong niya saakin.

“I'm mad because I'm just worried about you." I told him and touched his face. Tapos ko ng gamutin ang sugat niya. I looked at him seriously before kissing him on the forehead.

“Hindi nanaman kita nagawang tulungan." His voice is still sad. “I'm a man but I can't help you. I'm really useless and stupid."

“I told you, it's not your obligation to help me." Mabagal ang bigkas ko sa mga salita dahil mas gusto kong maintindihan niya
ako. “And first of all, you are not useless."

“I am, I want to help you but I can't. And that made me useless and stupid.."

Huminga ako nang malalim. “Liam, kahit pa hindi mo ako matulungan sa lahat ng bagay ay may silbi ka parin. So stop saying those words, okay?" Taas kilay na tanong ko sa kaniya. “If you don't stop, I will get even more mad with you."

Kita ko ang pagkagulat sa mga mata niya dahil sa sinabi ko. “Okay, I will stop saying those words again. Just don't be mad at me."

Tumango tango ako. “Sana lang ay hindi ito mamaga ng sobra." Muli kong hinawakan at tinignan ang kamay niya.

“Thank you, Hiara."

After a while he spoke.

I looked at him again because of what he said.His face was serious and had another expression that I couldn't tell what it was.

Parang masaya pero malungkot. Nakangiti ang labi niya pero ang mga mata niya ay puno ng kalungkutan.

Kumunot ang noo ko. “Thank you? Para saan?" Takang tanong ko.

“Because you are always there for me." He said seriously and tried to smile at me. “And I'm happy because of that."

Kinulong ko ang mukha niya saaking mga palad. “You don't have to thank me." Seryosong sabi ko sakaniya at tinignan siya nang diretso sa mga mata. “You don't have to thank me because I choose to stay by your side. It is my choice to stay by your side."

“That's why I'm thanking you because you choose that choice.." He held my hand that was holding his face. “There are a lot of choices but you chose that one. That's why I'm thankful."

Napangiti ako dahil sa sinabi niya kaya naman niyakap ko siya. I hugged him very tightly.

“Many people dislike me," sabi niya habang nakayakap din saakin. “But you.. you're different."

Naramdaman ko ang panginginig niya kaya hinagod ko ang likod niya.

“Don't think about those people.. Hindi mo sila kailangang isipin." Bumuntong hininga ako. “You're also different, Liam"

His brows furrowed. “Bakit?"

“Because you don't hurt women. And I adore you for that." Ngumiti ako.
