Hindi pa siya gising nang bumalik kami, binaba ko ang malaking supot ng mga rekados at umakyat, hinawi ko ang buhok ko at binuksan ang pinto. I went to the bed and cuddled her. Nasa patong na niya ako dahil hindi ako masyadong kontento sa aming lapit at kung may ilalapit pa, iyon ang gagawin ko. She moved and opened her eyes, she smiled and I was immediately consoled. Her soft hands caressed the dimple in my cheek. "Good morning," I said huskily, "Did I wake you up?" damn I miss her. "Gising na ako kanina. I just closed my eyes. Bakit wala ka?" I buried my forehead on hers and closed my eyes, "Dumeretso kami ng bayan matapos ang pag inom namin ng chaser," I chuckled, "An hour ago," sabay halik. It's nearly two in the afternoon, we finally got up and took a bath, huli akong bumaba suot ang panibagong dark blue jeans at t-shirt. Nasulyapan ako ang labas na mata

We arrived in my unit right after we checked out the items as we started maximizing the pantry. She told me to do this and it's a pleasure. "Anong susuotin mo?" tanong ko, "I'll be wearing a blue tuxedo," dagdag ko at lumingon. Binaba niya ang baso at napaisip. "Royal blue, I guess..." An brand will be open for tomorrow. It is a socialization for business parters and others. And I really need to be ready for us. Lalo na sa kanya. "You can wear anithing, you're so beautiful..." She mocked while preparing for the vegetables we bought. Umupo na ako sa high chair ng counter at ginawa roon ang natitira kong trabaho, we're both silent in our tasks and I found it awkward that I even shouted when I smelled the bagoong on the veggies."Nagulat ako," she glared at me and spooned something on the casserole, pumunta siya sa akin at pinatikim."Can't wait to eat, damn," sabay tawa.She's a fast learner in cooki

Doon ako natulog nang gabing iyon at tahimik na bumangon kinaumagahan. I sat down in the long dining table and ate the croissant with the coffee I made.I had my self time the whole day, wala akong sinayang na oras para lang magbasa at matulog, inayos ko rin ang kwarto pagdating ng hapon bago ako bumaba."Gago ka. Haunted house na 'yan kumbaga," bulalas ni Vanessa sa tawag matapos kong sabihin na umuwi ako ng Batangas."It's actually my comfort zone, paalis na nga ako sa destinasyon ko. Sunod kayo o daanan ko kayong tatlo?" sabay ayos ng bag sa likod. "Ipangako mo sa akin na ililibre mo kami," aniya sabay hagalpak ng tawa. "Hoy, hoy, ano 'yan?" it was the voice of Logan. "Sinabi ko kasi na ilibre tayo sa Amanpulo pagkatapos sa States." Napangiti ako at hinawi ang buhok."Siya pa talaga, Van? We're helping our friend. 'Wag na, Vanessa, tayo na lang ang natitira para kay Ivo." Lumandas ang luh

Inalu siya ni Cormac at tinulak lang niya ito. I wiped my silent tears and they looked so devastated while looking at me but I cut my gaze off. I held my Mom's hand tightly to stop her, umiling ako at sa isang iglap, nawala ang bumubuhos niyang luha na siyang dahilan kung bakit siya ang pumunas sa luha ko.Niyakap ko siya. Kung ito ang huling pagkakataon para mayakap ko siya, ayaw ko nang kumalas pa, pero marahan niya akong hinagkan at nanatili si Daddy na pinanood akong hinihingal. Hindi ako tumingin kahit kanino dahil hindi ko gustong makita kung paano napalitan ng awa ang galit nila sa akin.Dad recovered from his sudden shock as he went to me and hugged me backwardly, I bowed down and he's too precise and careful that he might break my lifeline. "If you are bothered by our presence, please we'll let you sleep where you were staying but can we visit you when you're sleeping?" he said and I felt her large hand gently touched the wire on my chest.

I almost forgot about the medicines that I will be taking. I recieved a text from Roy that Chris will be coming in here, naghintay ako at pinanatili ko ang pag-aakbay kay Zuri nang makaupo ako."Sorry if I scolded at you awhile ago," nag-iwas ako ng tingin."It's okay," she said.Chris has an umbrella as he folded and when he arrived, I drank the medicines and the juice. I wiped my lips after I drank the last drop and put down the glass."Lunch na, Ma'am, si Architect Lava Zallega, naghihintay sa hapag," ani Chris.Zuri couldn't stop caressing my forearm and shook her head. "Hindi pa ako gutom at... thank you for taking care of him while I am away," ngumiti siya."It's not just my work to take care of him as a patient, Ma'am but a friend, let us do our job and it will be a pleasure to see him happy again," Chris was gathering those remaining things on the bed."Pwede niyo ba akong turuan para alagaan siya?"Umiling si Chris, "M
