BLACK LOTUS

20: ATTACHED

~EDWARD~

Nagising ako sa tahol ni Azi... And I'm feeling much better right now pero masakit parin ang tagiliran ko..

"Morning Azi.." bati ko rito at binuhat papunta sa kama ko.. he was licking me.

"You missed me huh?" I smirked at hinagod ang balahibo neto sa likod while wiggling his tail.

Dam* I didn't feed him yesterday because I was sick, baka gutom na siya kaya naman dali dali akong lumabas..

Muling tumahol si Azi at pumunta sa may couch... nakatalikod sa akin ang couch kaya naman nilapitan ko ito.. laking gulat ko nalang nang makita si Azkhira na mahimbing na natutulog, nakaupo ito sa sahig habang nakaunan ang ulo niya sa upuan ng couch.

A smile form on my face..

She didn't leave, at nagpapasalamat ako dahil inalagaan niya ako kagabi. Lumapit ako rito at binuhat siya papaunta sa kwarto ko, my condo has only one room kaya dun ko nalang siya pinahiga. Medyo napangiwi lang ako dahil sa nararamdaman kong sakit sa tagiliran ko..

Pagkatapos ako bumaba na ako para pakainin si Azi at magulukuto na rin ng almusal..

~AZKHIRA~

Nagising ako dahil sa sinag ng araw na tumama sa aking mukha, umupo ako at kinusot kusot ang mga mata ko..

Tsk, buti naman at naisipan niyang patulugin ako dito sa kwarto niya. Hindi ko alam na nakatulog pala ako kagabi dahil sa kakahagod kay Azi..

I stood up ang went downstairs...

Parang may nasusunog kaya naman pumunta agad ako sa kusina niya, and there I saw Nerd cooking an egg, but it was all burnt at umuusok pa yung pan..

"Ouch!" Sigaw niya nung matalsikan ito ng mantika..

"Tsk pati itlog di mo manlang alam lutuin" Mukha namang nagulat ito dahil bigla bigla nalang akong magsalita..

I grab the spatula in his hand and cook, dabale't nagugutom na rin ako.I saw eggs, ham and beef on the sink.

Tinali ko lahat ang buhok ko at kinuha ang apron na nakasabit sa ref niya and then started cooking. This is new to me again.. I never cook at anyone house pero dahil sa gutom ako ay kailangan ko munang kumain, ayoko talaga na nalilipasan ako ng gutom dahil  nasanay na akong kumakain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw dahil kay Hitomi, he always cares a lot that's why I'm not easily geting sick.

"I can't believe that you can cook too" masaya netong saad habang patuloy sa pagkain.

"Ang sarap.." parang batang gutom na gutom at sunod sunod ang subo neto...

Tahimik lang ako sa pagkain at hindi na siya pinansin dahil sa kadaldalan niya. He even tells me about Azi alot.

Tumayo ito at nilagay ang pinagkainan niya sa lababo when I saw a blood oh his left side... He groans and grab his side which it has a blood stain on it. Bigla nalang itong napaupo..

How long am I going to take care of this guy and I already look like a babysitter tsk..

He groans

I hastily stood up while stomping my feet walking towards nerd and help him stood up. I didn't think twice to lift his shirt and saw the bandage covered to his waist is covered in blood.

Inakay ko siya papunta sa couch at hinanap ang first aid niya, he said it was on the third pantry so I get it and went back to him.

Pagkatapos ko sanang kumain ay dapat aalis na ako pero meron na namang problema... And probably Leo might be searching for me right now because I wasn't home.

Tinanggal ko agad ang bandage at nakita ko na umaagos ang dugo neto.. he was shot with a gun. Why the hell he was shot?! Who did this to him?!.. ngayon ramdam ko ang galit, I know I'm getting attach to this person but he doesn't deserve to be in this kind of situation..

I came back to my senses when someone held my hand...

"Relax... Parang makakapatay ka naman ng tao sa itsura mong yan" natatawang sabi neto pero inilayo ko agad ang kamay ko..

"I'm not.." I coldly said before getting the alcohol on the kit and pour it on his waist

"Argh!! F*ck! Sh*t!!" He was breathing heavily and his hands gripping on the couch tightly almost tearing it apart..

Kailangan kong tahiin ito upang madali ang pag sara ng sugat niya but we don't have anesthesia kaya paniguradong masakit ito..

"Ready" saad ko, tumango naman ito.
Sinimulan ko na ngang tahiin ang sugat niya at puro mura nalang ang naririnig ko dito.

"That really hurts" angal neto at parang lantang gulay na nahiga sa couch, I wipe it with Iodine then covered with bandage.

"Thanks.." he uttered while looking at me in the eye

"Who did this?" I calmly ask

"Accident"

Liar!!

"I know that was a gunshot kaya huwag mo akong utuhin... I'll be going"saad ko at deretsong lumabas ng condo niya pero humabol pa ito na ihahatid daw ako neto I just glared at him and I lied that someone is going to pick me up. I even push him inside his condo and close the door. Kailangan niya munang magpahinga dahil hilom pa ang sugat neto.
