Chapter 6

As soon as I open my eyes, the aroma of my favorite pork adobo rushed forward to greet me. I look around to see where that yummy smell coming from and I saw Marcus eating at the table.

I clear my throat so that he could see that I am already awake but it seems like he is very busy with his phone so he didn't mind me.

I pout and try again for the second time, he didn't notice me still so I stand up and go to his table. I sat in the chair in front of him, this time he notice me already.

"Good Morning" he smiled after greeting me.

"I'm hungry" I answered to him

I felt my tummy crumbled when I look at his food. Adobo is my favorite Filipino dish and this guy in front of me makes e crave for his food.

"You want?" he asked when he saw that I was looking at his food.

I nod and look at him, he smiled like a devil and scoops a rice and a pork using his spoon, I swallowed when he ate it while looking at me. Marcus acted as if he enjoyed what he was eating, while me? I am here looking at him while craving for his food.

"I didn't eat dinner" I said to him even if he didn't asked it. I just want him to know that I am really hungry.

"So? It’s your fault not mine, I told you to eat but you said that you don't want" he blamed me.

Okay, I didn't eat dinner because I am not hungry that time, It's my choice but it's not my fault.

"You brought me here and you’re not feeding me right. I said to make him feel guilty.

He put down the utensil that he is using and then he stood up, he got to the refrigerator and get something before going back here at the table.

When he came back, he placed a sandwich in front of me.

"Eat up." he said before he seats and eats again.

I did not touch the food he gave me. I just look at him and try to process what he said. My jaw dropped when I realize what is he trying to say.

"You're so unfair!" I shouted and then throw to him the sandwich that he gave me.

"What?" he asked while taking a sandwich under the table because he did not catch it

"What "what?" You're so unfair! You’re eating a real food while me? you just gave me a sandwich!"

"Does this look like a toy?" he asked while using his hand as a shield when I tried to throw a spoon at him.

"Will I be satisfied with the sandwich?" I asked him back

"at least you eat" he reasoned

"I don't want a sandwich! I want my favorite food!"I demanded to him.

He is so annoying, does he don't know how to share?

"Where can I get your favorite food?" he asked

"You're eating it already!"

He looked at the food and then smiled at me.

"Do you like?" he asked while smiling at me.

.

I know that he's just teasing me, but I can't help to be annoyed.

I crossed my arms and then rolled my eyes. I stand and lie down again in bed.

I heard his footsteps going somewhere, I also heard the door open and close. When I felt that I was the only person in this room, I slowly opened my eyes and went down to my bed. Put on my slippers, and tip-toe to walk to the refrigerator. I look like a thief in this situation even if I am the only one person in this room.

When I reached the refrigerator, I opened it and look for a food, I saw a green box. I get it and opened the box because of my curiosity.

My eyes are now shinning because of what I saw. It's my favorite pork adobo.

"Gotcha." I said while smiling.

I sat down on chair and start eating the meal. I had less than 5 minutes to eat.

I am now contended on what I ate. Fortunately, I know how to find food, what they call "curiosity kills" is not true because if curiosity was deadly, I would not be full and happy now.

I walked smiling back to my bed, when I lay down I heard the door open, signaling that Marcus was back.

I closed my eyes and did not let him know I was awake.

"Wait a minute, I'll just take it to the refrigerator." I heard Marcus say,

no one answered, after a while I heard him speak again.

"Why is this box here?" I smiled at what I think, maybe he should have given the box to his companion to feed it but I ate it. I secretly laughed, fortunately I ate it already,

"what's in the box?" I heard another man asked

"That's what I'm going to throw, because when I opened it there was a cockroach inside"

I opened my eyes at what I heard, I touched my mouth and stomach, I almost cry when I imagine something.

I ate that and there was a cockroach inside when Marcus opened it.

"But it looks like there is no need to throw it away because someone has already eaten it, I hope the stomach of whoever ate it before does not hurt"

I suddenly sat down because of what he said, I threw a pillow at him and then cried.

"Why didn't you throw it away right away when you saw a cockroach? Why do you have to put it in the refrigerator ?!" I shouted at him

He and another man in the room just laughed.

"So you ate it?" he asked as he showed a brown box.

What?! Where did that box come from?

I looked at the place where I ate earlier and I saw that the green box was still there.

I looked at Marcus badly and shouted at him

"You're really annoying, you're always playing fun on me!"

"I'm not doing anything to you. You're the one who reacted" he blamed me.

I groaned in frustration and plant a deadly glare on him.

"Give her the papers"

I accepted the paper the man had given me.

"Sign that" Marcus said

"What is this?" I asked still angry at him.

"That's your release papers, you can go home now." He said and then turned around

"Really I can now go back at Transilia?" I asked happily now.

"Who told you that you're going back there?" He said so my smile faded.

"You said that I can now go home, Transilia is my home." I answered

"I told you that I need you right?"

"Yes, but I did not agree"

"What?" he asked

"I did not agree"

"Hell no! I told you, I need you to do something for me." He demanded

"Hell yes, and I'm going home today." I said in finality.
