Before ako nakaalis sa school they asked me tons of questions if okay lang ba na kami lang dalawa ni Pervy doon, and I said yes and baka andoon din ang parents ni Pervy so I will introduce nalang, and they insisted na sumama but lahat ata sila tight ang schedule, even Josh and yung ibang Kings naman nag practice sa basketball.
I just said na okay lang and kayang kaya ko si Pervy if ever, at tsaka he's sick naman, he needs me now more than ever.
Ako na ang nagdrive, but I'm scared na baka madakip ako, wala pa naman akong license, ngayon ko lang na-realize iyon damn. Bull shark itong si Pervy! Paano ba niya ginagawa ito eh wala naman siyang license? Kaya no choice talaga ako but maging extra maingat.
30 minutes lang naman katagal ang school to village na tinitirhan ni Pervy, I even heard Pervy na nagmoan sa likod ko, hays is he that really sick na to the point di man lang niya magawang dilatin ang eyes niya? And he is even waiting for me and nag abala pa na ihatid ako na hindi naman pala niya kaya. Tapos he's asking me pa if I'm okay when the truth is siya naman pala itong hindi okay.
Him being selfless is a good thing but not this naman no.
Huminto na ako sa malaking gate na may numerong 4419 and it is his house na talaga I'm positive. Nag doorbell na ako at lahat hanggang sa binuksan na ako ng guard, dalawa sila and tinulungan nila ako na buhatin si Pervy papunta to his room.
His house is super laki but I kinda feel like pareho lang sa amin eh, cold and isolated. Ang tahimik naman kasi even sa pagpasok ko sa bahay niya. There are maids pero hindi sila kasing friendly kagaya ni Manong. They're like robots pero nakikita ko din naman ang worried faces nila.
Pumasok kami sa maroon na door and I think it is his room and I confirmed it noong pinasok nila si Pervy doon, and yes, super ganda and modern yung design ng kwarto niya and he picked the room na may viranda and kita lahat ng nasa mansyon. Yes, he's living in a mansion, no doubt why Dad likes him, magkakasundo sila.
I divert my attention to Pervy na inihiga na sa bed, "Ako na po mag-aalaga kay Pervy manang, give me water nalang po and a bimpo or any cloth po," and nag bow naman si Manang at lumabas na.
Pumunta ako sa closet ni Pervy and naghanap ng comforter, I placed it on top of him para pagpawisan siya and I hina na the aircon. Narinig ko ulit si Pervy na umungol kaya tinapik tapik ko nalang siya, "Shhh you will be okay, Pervy. You will be okay," mahino kong sabi sa kanya while he is sleeping.
"Eto na po ang tubig ma'am," ang eyes ko ay na divert sa door when manang came in and I just said na ilagay sa ibabaw ng table near his kama and she did, and of course I said thank you before umalis si manang.
May cloth na nakasabit sa gilid ng bowl kaya binasa ko ito at piniga ito, and I was about to put the damp cloth sa noo ni Pervy but I was shocked when he hawak my wrist to stop me from what I'm doing but he's not looking at me, his eyes are pikit pa.
"N-Noemi? Noemi..."
I don't know why but napakagat ako sa lower lip ko, something stings inside. Now I'm more curious kung sino si Noemi. Buti di niya nakalimutan name nito aside sakin, Noemi and that girl, that Patrice, "P-Pervy... It's me, Julienne," mahina kong sabi, but it is mahina enough to let him hear.
He tried na buksan his eyes, and now it is half open, "J-Julienne? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? Saan tayo?" napayuko na lang ako, I don't know why. Para siyang gulat na gulat that he even let go of my wrist.
Something inside me feels like I'm not welcome or I'm not important enough to stay with him, I don't know why, "W-We're inside your h-house... Your room, specifically, but I will uwi na after I alaga you, you have fever k-kasi," sabi ko sa kanya.
Nakita ko his face turned red, I was about to taranta baka kasi lumala fever niya, but when I'm about to put the damp cloth sa noo niya ay he looked to the other side sa bed, opposite of my side, "U-Umuwi ka na. Di kita kailangan dito. Don't you ever come sa loob ng k-kwarto-- bahay ko without my permission, pahatid ka nalang sa driver dito," even though he's nanghihina he's trying to speak pa rin.
I was stunned. Disappointed. I don't know why I feel hiya sa harap niya, is it really wrong na pumasok sa bahay niya? I hesitated of course. Bahay ni Pervy 'to eh, ni Pervy, of all people. Pero I didn't fudging mind because inaalala ko siya! Inaalala ko na anong mangyari sa kanya! But he... He just wants me to go? When perhaps, siya basta basta nalang pumapasok sa house namin!
Edi si Noemi nalang sana girlfriend niya! It seems like he wants her more eh! Bakit pa kasi ako pumunta dito? What a stupid plan Julienne!
I sighed sharply with disappointment, akala ko okay na eh. Friends na kami, but akala ko lang pala iyon. It hurts to asa, it hurts to feel unwanted. Sana I just let other people na ihatid siya, sana di nalang ako, sana nag practice nalang ako for the Buwan Ng Wika.
So that I wouldn't feel this kind of sting.
