Summer to Forget ✔️

32

The next few days I got busier as I processed my ticket and as I have to be with Bella for a day because we are planning to surprise Rawl with a video presentation and to reveal the baby's gender for his birthday. Good thing that Bella accepted my request as I promised to have my schedule free for also three days for our vacation on a resort that messaged me last week.

"I am sure that Rawl will cry once he will see this," I commented as we watch the video.

"Just don't forget to film his reaction, Tami! I and babies will surely be mad." And she caress her baby bump.

She hugged me before leaving our house early so I could prepare for my flight tomorrow. She would also prepare her things because she will be living here next month.

I was in the middle of putting my clothes in the luggage when Namiel called. I grab my AirPods and answered the call.

"Are you ready for your flight?" he said while he is wiping something that I couldn't see but I didn't bother to ask him.

"I am still preparing my clothes Kuya," sabi ko sa kanya habang tinutupi ang isang makapal ko na coat.

"How about Czesar? Have you already asked him if he will sleep there tonight because you have an early flight." That was the exact words that came out from his mouth before I could hear a single knock at my door.

But before I could finally stand up, the door swung open and revealed Czesar who is now smiling from ear to ear.

"Good evening beautiful!" binati niya ako bago pa tuluyang pumasok sa kuwarto ko at iniwang nakabukas ang pintuan. Kaya naglakad ako patungong pintuan para isara ang iyon nang pigilan niya ako. "Don't close the door, Tam. Your father might think of something bad."

"As if," sabi ko pa sa kanya at tuluyang isinara ang pintuan tuluyan.

Umupo ako pabalik sa kinauupuan ko at inikutan ng siya mata.

"Tamila! Stop being maldita to Czesar!" pagalit na sabi ni Namiel galing sa kabilang linya.

Oh, I am so close to forget that I am still connected to a video call with Namiel.

Czesar just smiled at him before reassuring him that it's fine for him. "Just let her be Ed, it's fine."

"Where's Lau, bro?" here we go again. Akala mo naman hindi nag-uusap kung makatanong.

"Downstairs, he's talking to our father," he answered so I looked at him, and later on he looked at me too so I rolled my eyeballs at him. The nerve.

Hindi naman nagtagal ay nagpaalam na rin si Namiel upang kausapin si Lau bago siya matulog. The atmosphere between us is awkward because no one dared to talk. Minutes after he stood up so I assumed that he will go downstairs but he sat after me. Napatigil ako sa pagtupi ng mga damit at tiningnan siya.

I thought he would say something to me but he only smiled and started to help me folding some of my clothes.

"Where should I put these?" tanong niya sa akin habang hawak hawak niya iyong mga sweater ko.

I pointed to the laguage that I placed on my bed and he placed it there carefully. And since it was the last clothing he managed to close it without saying anything.

I sighed deeply and I didn't expect that he will turn and looked at me so I smiled awkwardly at him but I heard him chuckled. "What?" he asked while he was laughing at my face.

"I'm hungry," I told him and pouted.

"Come on, let's eat." sabi pa niya na parang bahay niya.

"Where? Here?" I didn't even know why I even asked him that stupid question!
