K, The Stalker [Zendguge Series 1]

CHAPTER 40

Si Klygy na ang nagmaneho pabalik sakanilang nirentahang apartment sa medyo magubat na village sa Hili, Thailand. She parked the car outside the apartment, went out and opened the car’s door for him because he isn’t moving. Nakatulala ito simula nong umalis sila sa gusaling iyon.

Lumabas ito at sinundan naman niya hanggang sa nakapasok na sila sa loob ng kanilang silid. Pinanood niya itong maghubad ng pang-itaas at dumeritso sa banyo.

Hindi nalang siya nagsalita at inalis ang lahat ng gamit na nakatago sa loob ng kaniyang coat at inayos ang loob ng silid habang naliligo pa si King. Iniisip niya ang nangyare kanina at bigla nalang naging ganon si Sir K.

Nakita niya ang nagriring na phone ni Sir K kaya kinuha niya ito at sinagot.

“Sir Kujilo,” pangunguna niya.

“Oh, Ma’am Ky. Gusto ko sanang sabihin kay boss na na-evacuate na ang mga employees at naidala na sa hospital para masigurado ang kanilang kalusugan. Asan nga pala si boss?”

Napalingon siya sa banyo.

“He’s refreshing” sagot nalang niya.

“Ah, sige po Ma’am Ky, have a good night”

Nagpasalamat lang siya bago putulin ang tawag. She went to the kitchen and cooked rice, good for the two of them. She opened the fridge and took two eggs and four slices of bacon. She prepared the frying pan to fry it all. Good thing that they brought groceries in the Philippines before going to Thailand and borrowed some kitchen utensils with the landlady.

As she started frying the bacon, the door in the bathroom opens and she saw Sir K with only the towel on his lower body. She gulped and just focused on frying.

Minutes later and she’s done frying and the rice is almost cooked, she prepared for their soy sauce and put on chilies. She prepared their earliest morning dinner and search for him in the room. She found him sitting on the bed in pajamas, squeezing the towel on his head.

“Let’s eat?” pag-iimbita niya sa nakatalikod na tahimik niyang boss.

Hindi ito nagsalita.

“Egg, bacon, and soy sauce? Let’s eat with our hands?” she paraphrased, hoping that he would have an appetite.

Napangiti siya nong tumayo ito at naglakad palapit sakaniya. Sinundan niya ito hanggang sa lumabas na sila nang kwarto at pumuntang kusina. After washing his hand, she did the same, followed him to the small dining table and sit opposite him.

Tiningnan muna niya si King na sa ngayon ay tahimik na kumakain. Mukhang hindi pa ito bumabalik sa sarili kaya siya na ang naglagay ng tubig sakanilang baso bago kumain na rin.

“Tumawag kanina si Sir Kujilo, okay na daw ang mga hostage at naidala sa hospital” imporma niya habang pinagmamasdan ang tao sakaniyang harapan.

Tumango lang ito at hindi nagsalita. She is wondering why he is acting like this.

This is unusual and new to her. She isn’t used in this kind of environment with him. It really feels like there something wrong with the guys earlier that is why he is acting like this.

Base on her observation, hindi niya dapat tanungin ito dahil mukhang walang balak itong mag-open up sakaniya. Hinayaan nalang niya itong tahimik na kumain hanggang sa natapos na sila.

“I’ll wash the dishes,” pagboboluntaryo niya nong matapos na itong kumain.

At don lang siya tiningnan ni Sir K sa mga mata. His eyes were still the same as before, they’re heartless. Hindi ito nagsalita at muling hinugasan ang kamay at nilagpasan na siya.

Binilisan din niyang kumain at pagkatapos naman non ay nanghugas siya nang pinggan. Inayos niya ang mga kalat sa kusina at siniguradong malinis iyon bago nag-apply ng sanitizer at hinanap kung saan nakapwesto si Sir K.

Nakita niya itong nakaupo sa couch at nakatitig sa kawalan. Hindi niya alam ang sasabihin niya kaya hinanda nalang niya ang kaniyang sarili para maligo.

She did what is on her mind, took a bath, went out with only her towel on and got inside to the only bedroom, to change. She wore her beach shorts and a loose t-shirt. Squeezing the towel on her head, she went out the room to check him and saw him smoking for the first time.

Nagdalawang isip siya kung kakausapin niya ito. Ano kaya ang gagawin niya kapag magalit ito o ano?

“Uhmm… I will sleep in the couch, you sleep on the bed-

“Let’s sleep together.”

She froze, hearing the fast beat on her heart. “…in the bed.” She gulped. Hindi niya alam kung anong nasa utak nito at bigla nalang itong nagsabing matulog sila nang sabay sa iisang kama.

“A-Are you sure?”

At agad niyang pinagsisihan ang katagang hindi niya alam na lalabas sakaniyang bibig.

“I- I mean, w-why? W-We shouldn’t right?” pambabawi niya ngunit hindi parin niya nagustuhan ang kaniyang sinabi.

“I-It’s okay, I will sleep in the couch. I- Ikaw na ang matulog sa kama para komportable kang matulog” pandagdag niya ngunit pinanunuod nalang niyang pinagpag nito ang kaniyang sigarilyo, itinusok ito sa glass table para patayin ang usok, tumayo at naglakad palapit sakaniya.

“I – I’m really going to sleep in the couch” she dictated and stepped backward to retreat.

But then he grabbed her right arm and stared at her eyes, freezing her.

“Let’s sleep in one bed” Sir K demanded as he pulled her with him inside the bedroom and pushed her down on the bed.

“W-What are you doing?!” she snapped, thinking all green on her mind.

He can’t be thinking about having sex with her right? He can’t be thinking about touching her right? What’s up with him that he is doing this right now??

Their eyes met and she couldn’t think of anything he might be thinking. His eyes look so blank and she couldn’t tell what will he do.

She started trembling when he went into the bed, on top of her as she gulped with the thought of losing her virginity in this state. She closed her eyes when he leaned closer to her.

She doesn’t like this.
She doesn’t like him with this state of mind.

Napadilat siya ng kaniyang mga mata nang maramdaman niya ang pagyakap nito sakaniyang katawan ang pagsiksik ng ulo nito sakaniyang leeg. She heard his silent sniff, shocking her.

Is he… crying?

Humigpit ang pagkakayakap nito sakaniyang bewang at naramdaman ang kaniyang maiinit na luha nang dumikit ang pilik mata nito sakaniyang leeg.

He is really crying.

Hindi niya alam pero… kusa nalang gumalaw ang kaniyang mga kamay at dahan dahan itong pinalibot sa katawan ni Sir K at tinapik ang likod nito.

Ngayon, mas lalo na siyang nagtaka kung bakit siya naging ganito. Meron siyang naisip na rason ngunit hindi niya masasabing may koneksyon ito sa kaniyang ginawa ngayon.

Nanatiling nakayakap sakaniya si King at hinayaan naman niya ito hanggang sa nakatulog itong nakapayakap parin sakaniya.

This must be a heart break. He is showing the weak side of him.

Sinigurado niyang maayos ang kanilang pagkakahiga at dahil hindi siya nito binitawan ay hindi na niya kakayaning alisin pa ang pagkakakap nito sakaniya.

Tiningnan ni Klygy ang nakapikit nitong mga mata nito at nakita ang natitirang tubig sakaniyang mga pilikmata. Wala siyang ideya kung ano ang nasa isip nito kung bakit ito nangyare but one thing for sure,

Pinunas niya ang natirang mga luha ni Sir K.

she is wrong. All he wanted all these time is … comfort.
