When Love Grows (29)

"Dalhin mo na ito para naman may kinakain kayo." The so hardheaded patient. I told her there's no need to do this, anyway. Pasaway talaga!

"Lola sabi ko ako na dito. You shouldn't be doing this kailangan nag re-rest ka nalang." I said, getting the tupperware from her. She shouldn't be getting tired. Kaya ko naman kasing gawin kaya dapat hinahayaan nalang niya ako. I just didn't want her exerting some extra effort to cook and walk around. She could've just command me.

"Precious naman...puro ka rest! Rest ng rest. Kahit hindi naman ako pagod rest na naman."

Hindi ko mapigilan matawa habang nakapamewang si Lola. "Blame the doctor, La. Kailangan daw hindi kayo gumagawa nang mabigat. Hindi nagpapagod."

"Dios mio..." She said bothered after what I said.

"Lola have you taken the pill for eight AM?" Tanong ko sa kanya. I've been reminding her about the medicines that she has to take. I know when's she going to take the solid ones and liquidize meds. I would always get them prepared for her so that she wouldn't need to go downstairs if she's resting in her room. Until now, I haven't failed missing a single pill. Takot lang talaga ako na magkamali at maulit 'yung nangyari. I wasn't there to see what really happened and I couldn't even answer the Doctor's questions, so in case that a problem would occur but I'm hoping there wouldn't be anymore, I could tell them exact and clear what has been she taking.

"Huwag mo nang alalahanin at mauna ka na pagkaalis mo saka ako iinom."

"Uh-huh. Big no." I said shaking my head while getting it prepared for her.

She would always complain na my treatment was too much. Of course, we needed to be extra careful. It wasn't a fever or cold we're talking about here. Valve stenosis, the unfamiliar name itself was terrifying!

"Ginagawa mo na akong baldado, Precious. Diyos ko po..." I gave her the med she needed. "Lola., as long as I'm living with you...the doctor is in." Nakita ko siyang napabuga ng hangin.

After getting satisfied of seeing her taking her meds nagpaaalam na ako kay Lola paalis. I get off a little bit early to the time we had set yesterday, even though I agreed that Miguel would pick me up today naisip ko nalang kanina na hindi nalang, uunahan ko na siya. Maglalakad na ako papunta sa kanila.

I felt excited about this. After everything it's like a celebration of legality. I'd just really hope that he wouldn't get tired of me. He was too much for me. He would always fill the missing feelings I badly wanted for the longest time. Lagi nalang siyang nandiyan for me. Parang ang hirap na yata i-survive ng isang araw na hindi kami nagkikita ni Miguel.

"Sana mutual," I uttered to myself. How 'bout him? Have he thought how he misses me? Iniisip niya rin kaya ang mga iniisip ko? Was he so much affected to my presence? I hope he is. He's an adult for sure he was with women on his age. Sana hindi ako irreplaceable sa paningin niya. A teenage girl he would throw when he's fed up.

Oh, gosh. Nalulungkot ako sa mga iniisip ko!

"Morning!" nakita ko agad silang dalawa na nasa labas ng bahay. I saw them feeding the bird. Maya waved her hand at me bago nabalik ulit sa ibon ang atensyon niya.

Miguel was looking at me while I'm walking towards them and I stopped walking kasi I wanted him to close the distance. I was smiling brightly at him habang nilalapitan na niya ako. I could smell him from where I was standing. He took a bath already. He was just with his usual clothes na pambahay his everyday look. If he tries wearing something out of ordinary iniisip ko palang...napapailing na ako.

"Bakit nandito ka na?" he get the eco bag I was holding.

"Changed my mind. Inunahan na kita." Oh, gosh. How can he be consistently good looking? Effortless. Say he's sweaty from work, stained hands or talking with other people. Grabe talaga 'yung itsura ni Miguel. Napansin ko na naman ulit 'yung mga hair on his chin and above his lips they had grew more.
