Siya na din mismo ang nag-ayos ng pinagkainan namin. I offered him help but he just carried me and put me on the bed.
"Just rest." That's what he said before going out and throwing those cup noodles. Wala na rin naman akong ibang ginawa kung hindi hintayin siyang bumalik. While waiting for him to go back, I roamed my eyes around to find my bag na madali ko din namang nakita.
It was only beside my bed, that's why it was easy for me to grab it and take my phone. Unang bungad pa lang saakin ay ang mga messages agad galing kay Katana.
Where are you?
Why are you not replying?
Are you okay?
I heard from Prof Z na napaaga ang punta niyo diyan sa Sulu. Mag-iingat ka.
That was her last message. Four messages? Quite a few though. Knowing Katana, she likes sending lots of messages and spamming me.
Baka busy din. Yan na lang ang tinatak ko sa utak ko instead of overthinking how she is right now.
Solana, Yara, and Knox also sent me some messages.
Solana: Huwag mong hahayaang mamatay ka diyan. 'Di ka pa naman nadidiligan.
Napailing na lang ako ng mabasa ko yon.
Yara: Be safe Qads.
Simple yet I can sense her concern.
Knox: Don't let those men attack first. Do the favor of killing them immediately.
Natawa naman ako ng mabasa ko yon from Knox. It's so her.
After reading those, I just checked some emails from the hospital. Buti naman at walang masyadong ganap sa ngayon. I also noticed na walang signal ng internet dito kaya naman tinabi ko na lang din sa malapit na lamesa ang phone ko.
I tried to sleep after that since I can't do anything at the moment because of that damn gunshot wound on my leg.
SECONDS later I sense someone else's presence. Pinanatili kong nakapikit ang mga mata ko para maramdaman kung anong susunod niyang gagawin.
His hand went to my cheeks and before he continue his next move, I grabbed his hand using my left hand at locked his leg using my other arm. It was just a quick move that he didn't even notice that I was already choking him using my both hands.
"Damn. D-Dra."
His voice. Pinakawalan ko din siya nang marinig ko ang boses niya. Damn! I didn't notice that it was him.
Paubo-ubo at kinakapa niya ang kaniyang leeg pagkatapos ko siyang pakawalan. I didn't get to see his face because I reacted immediately. He also changed his clothes that made me thought it was another person.
"S-sorry. I didn't know it was you." I said apologetically.
"I-it's fine." He said and drank the glass of water that I didn't finish on my table.
I just remained my head down because of embarrassment. Lupa, lamunin mo na ako. Ngayon na please.
"Hey, it's totally fine." He said while laughing.
Tumatawa pa nga.
I looked at him with serious eyes. "Anong nakakatawa?"
"You. Your face." Sabi niya sabay hawak sa tiyan at patuloy pa rin ang pagtawa.
"Hey! It's not funny. You went into this tent and just held my cheek that's why I reacted like that." I defended myself.
"Kaya nga. Pero ba't parang nahihiya ka?"
"I'm not." I defensively replied.
"Okay, sabi mo, eh. I just didn't know that you know basic self defense, Dra."
"I just trained when I was young. In case I need it." I said with a calm tone. Nasanay na rin naman akong sabihing nagtraining ako noong bata ako kung sakaling may magtanong sakin kung bakit alam kong lumaban.
"What a badass." He whispered pero rinig ko naman.
"Indeed." I just replied.
Tinignan naman niya ako. I can see amusement in his eyes. "I can see that you're somewhat proud that you can fight."
"Syempre naman. Pinaghirapan ko din kayang magtraining." I replied, sugarcoating my statements. Well, totoo namang bata pa lang ako ng nagtraining pero hindi niya pwedeng malamang ginawa ko yon para maging isang mamamatay-tao.
"I see." Pagkatapos niyang sabihin yon ay dahan-dahan niyang nilapit ang kaniyang mukha sakin. I didn't anticipate his next move kaya naman napa-atras ako sa dulo ng higaan.
"I can sense that you're good at fighting, Dra.." Still looking intently at me and in one swift move, he made me sit on his lap.
I gulped for how many times. Gago? Bat naman kasi ganito kagwapo. I'm doomed.
We stare at each other for how many seconds. Tila natauhan siya ng bigla niya akong pina-upo sa gilid niya.
I was sitting on his side this time when he spoke. "Shit! I'm sorry Dra., I got carried away."
Natawa naman ako sa naging reaskyon niya. Akala ko pa naman ako ang hindi matatauhan sa aming dalawa.
"I mean, I'm really sorry. I didn't intend to do that." He said again.
"It's okay. Ang cute mo." Hindi ko na napigilang sabihin.
He just chuckled and said sorry again.
"I'm really sorry again. I was just supposed to check on you because I thought you were sleeping alre—"
I cut him off by grabbing his collar and kissed him on the lips. Naramdaman ko namang natigilan siya at ilang segundo ding nakabawi bago ako tinugon. Seconds after seconds of making out, I moved to sit on his lap again and wrapped my hands on his leg. His hands were also in my waist.
I was about to push him on the bed when someone came in.
"Zyie—Fuck!"
