What is Love?
Love is when you're starting to care about a person you usually don't care about.

CHAPTER 13- SLOWLY
MIKA's POV
-Pag nakita mong kumukunot ang mukha ni Hell o nagsasalubong ang kilay nito at para bang di mapalagay sa pagtulog, ibigay lang sa kanya yung hand-made plushie (stuffed doll) na nasa tabi ng table ng lampshade n'ya. (Hindi s'ya bading kaya wag kang mabroken d'yan, may kung ano lang talaga sa manika na yun na nakakapagpakalma kay Hell)
-Pag hindi kinaya nung manika and he started screaming while sleeping, do your best para gisingin s'ya, alugin mo o kahit sampalin bahala ka. Basta gisinging mo s'ya, pagkatapos yakapin mo. (I'm sure nagbablush ka na at the thought of hugging him, ikaw huh Ruth! Lol. Anyway kidding aside, you absolutely need to do this. Hell's nightmares are in their most terrible form when he's sick kaya nga di ko s'ya mapabayaan na lang basta. Iniisip mo rin siguro kung niyayakap ko ba s'ya pag ganitong may sakit s'ya at nananaginip, syempre hindi! Pinapagawa ko to sayo kasi babae ka, pwede ka, at alam kong gusto mo rin lol)
-Pagkagising n'ya, ipagluto mo s'ya ng makakaen, yung madaling lunukin, lugaw ganun. Kahit magpumilit s'yang paalisin ka, wag kang papayag. Hintayin mo kong makabalik and he absolutely must eat. Hindi pa kumakaen ang lokong yan simula kanina kaya I'm sure gutom na gutom na yan, magdedeny lang s'ya sayo, so make him eat or I'm sure he'll pass out of hunger. (Pag nag insist s'yang paalisin ka, na I'm 100% sure of by the way, just tell him this: 'Pag pinaalis mo ko ng wala si Vincent, may lalabas daw na videos.' and that'll shut him up)
-Let him rest and sleep again pagkatapos mo s'yang painumin ng gamot. Don't let him go anywhere, keep him in bed. (If he insists tell him the video thing again)
-And last but not the least, please Ruth, don't rape him. (Lol, I'm just kidding. But really, don't rape him. Haha! Good luck Ruth! Text ka na lang sakin pag may kailangan ka, here's my number: 09*********)
Yan lang naman ang nakasulat sa papel na inabot sa akin ni Vincent pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko sa unit nila. Walang Hi, walang Hello, walang explanations. Basta na lang n'ya inabot sa akin yung papel na yan saying malelate na talaga s'ya at kailangan na n'yang umalis.
"Good luck, I'm counting on you." lang ang sinabi n'ya sa akin when he led me sa harap ng kwarto ni Hell tapos umalis na s'ya. What a friend he is. But bilib din ako sa kanya huh, parang nanay lang ni Hell ang peg n'ya with the instructions and all. I guess they really are close. Medyo nakakainggit na nakakatuwa.
Now I'm completely alone in this unit with Hell! Aaaah! Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
Nanginginig pa ang kamay ko nang hawakan ko ang malamig na doorknob nung blue na pinto na may nakadikit pang "KEEP OUT" na sticker sa harapan.
Pag bukas ko nung pinto ng kwarto, I was stunned and really really fascinated by what I saw. His room was not how I expected it to be. Akala ko kasi makakakita ako ng isang room na rockish and super boyish ang dating pero yung room ni Hell, hindi s'ya mukhang room actually. Nung pumasok ako dun, pakiramdam ko I went to space.
Yung ceiling ng kwarto n'ya (na for the record twice as large as the girls' room in our apartment) it's a blue ceiling na may maliliit na ilaw scattered all over that much resemble the stars. Looking up there, parang nakatingin lang ako sa langit na puno ng maraming bituin. Yung wall ng room n'ya decorated in blue and violet and silver, making the whole room look like a galaxy. Yung kama n'ya on the other hand was plain black-- black comforter, black bed sheet, black pillows... black all over na may isang full moon na malaki sa gitna. Sa headboard nung kama, there is a painting of the night sky with stars, almost like the ceiling of his room, the difference is, dun sa painting may constellations. Hindi ko alam yung names nung constellations basta I know constellations yung nandoon. Yung bed n'ya accented nung blue na ilaw na nanggagaling sa ibaba ng malaki n'yang kama. Yung floor sa harap ng kama n'ya kung saan located ang isang maliit na sofa (na I guess dalawang tao lang ang kasya) na nakaharap sa isang malaking flat screen black sony tv (na wala sa bahay namin kasi ni wala pang tv sa apartment sadly T^T), yung floor na yun carpeted, black carpet with stars in it. So I guess Hell must really like the stars and space and the galaxy.
