Summer to Forget ✔️

33

Hindi ko mapigilang magising dahil naalimpungutan ako nang may kamay na nakayakap sa akin at paa na nakatanday sa bandang binti ko. Sakto naman nang mapatingin ako sa bintana at nakitang may araw na.

I unconsciously looked at his face when I heard him snore. I stopped myself from laughing and smiled. My hand went to his cheek until it went to his eyes and caress it.

My eyes went down to his parted lips and touched it.

I poked his cheek to wake him up but he didn't. Napagod siguro. Kaya imbes na gisingin ko siya dahan-dahan akong tumayo mula sa kinahihigaan ko ngunit bahagya naman itong gumalaw na tila bang hinahanap ako para may mayakap kaya hindi ko mapigilang matawa sa kaniya.

And when he can't find me, I saw him panicked. His eyes opened quickly and when he saw me near on his feet, he sighed and gave me a warm smile. I am still covered with our comforter. He patted the space beside him and pouted. I smirked at him before laying down next to him.

He pouted and it vanished when I kissed him quickly on his lips. Then a smiled plastered on it as I caress his cheeks and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"I love you," he whispered on my ear before giving me a kiss in my cheek.

"Thank you." I said it from nowhere that made him chuckle.

It's feels so good waking up beside him.

He acted like his heart hurted and dramatically closed his eyes. "Damn."

Ambang susuntokin ko ito ng pabiro ngunit inunahan na ako nito. He hugged me while we were both lying on the bed so I couldn't help but to hug him too. Ayoko pa naman na mangawit iyong braso ko. Minutes later after hugging each other, I heard him sang softly. I wasn't familiar with the song so I listened to the lyrics carefully while appreciating his voice.

I never expected that I will find cuddling this sweet and calming. I want an endless cuddle if it would be this good.

I looked at him when he stopped. "Ga, are you now ready to hear my explanation?" he asked me softly.

I feel that my heart is already open from his explanation. Because there are always three sides story, yours, theirs and the truth.

I nodded at him for a go signal and gave him a reassuring smile.

"I was ten when my parents decided to part the things between them so you were seven that time, the same year when you're parents also parted. And after a year, naging usap usapan ang pagkikita ng dalawa nating mga magulang. Then I heard how young you are when it happened. I was the only son so I don't have someone to lean you that is why I got jealous when I heard that you have the twins as your older brother. That is why I decided to stalk on you starting from that day."

"Until I found out that they were already doing illegal things, so I got curious kung bakit hindi pa sila nakukulong and you know what did I found out? Your Dad is covering your mom because he doesn't want the three of you to be in danger, especially you. Until on my birthday, I wasn't really expecting to see them, my Dad and your Mom and my Mom and your Dad."

"I thought you did know about my Dad's relationship with Tita Viana?"

He shook his head. "I am leaving alone since I was 18 and I don't really care about my Mom by those times."

"Hanggang sa narinig ko ang balak nila na, they will do something on you and the Chiongsons if you're Dad will not be giving them money and your Dad had no other choice but to let us leave the town for a year because he can't afford to lose you while he was struggling on his health." he gave me a weak smile as he was saying the last phrase.
