Occupation Series #2: The Pilot

KABANATA 22

Days passed turn into weeks and Nimbus has been more sweet and caring to me.

Muntik ko na ngang makalimutan tungkol sa deal namin.

Pero may mga araw na hindi ko naalala na may deal pala kami na pinagkasuduan.

"Hey,  what are you doing? " malabing na sabi nito habang papalapit ito saakin.

I smiled at him. He sat beside me and hugged my waist and pulled me closer to his body.

He bury his face in my neck and I felt his hot breathe touch the skin on my neck.

It's been weeks after that car scene. Hanggang ngayon ay malinaw pa din saakin kung ano ang ginawa namin.

"Nimbus... C-can we try it again? " biglang tanong ko sakanya.

I know we can work out relationship, lalo na ngayon na mas nagiging close na kami sa isa't isa. Hindi na ako umiiyak. Mabuti nalang talaga at wala dito si Lucy.

Magsasalita na sana ito nang tumunog ang phone nya kaya pareho kaming napatingin doon.

Lucy calling...

Napaiwas ako ng tingin nang mabasa ko kung sino iyon. Sa ilang linggo na nakalipas ay palagi ko pa ding naririnig na magkausap sila sa phone. Pero binabalewala ko lang iyon.

Napatayo ito at lumayo saakin para masagot ang tawag ni Lucy.

Manang is not here, ilang linggo na itong hindi pumupunta dito dahil nagkaproblema daw sa probinsya nila.

Napatingin ako kay Nimbus nang makabalik na ito.

"Sino iyon? " tanong ko.

He looked at me and smiled. "It's from work" sagot nito bago tumabi ulit saakin.

Why do you have to lie to me? I know that you don't love me.
"What are you saying again? " tanong nito.

I cleared my throat. "Maybe we can work our relationship again" sabi ko sakanya.

Naging seryoso ang mukha nito habang nakatingin saakin. I know it's not a good thing to say those words but I need to try.

"N-nimbus I know that y-you are starting to lo-" he cutted me.

"Starting to what?!  To love you? " malamig na sabi nito.

Napatingin muna ako sakanya bago tumango.

He scoffed. Napatingin akong mariin sakanya.

"I don't...love you, Deiva. Remember we have a deal, na pag tapos na ang isang buwan ay aalis ka. " mariing sabi nito.

Nararamdaman ko na ang nagbabadyang luha na gustong tumulo mula sa mata ko pero mas pinili kong tumingin sakanya.

I want to see his reaction.

"But Nimbus... We can work out relationship.. I know it" I know I really look desperate but I don't care anymore.

"I don't feel any single feeling for you so how can we work our relationship if it is only you who will love" sabi nito.

Naramdaman ko na ang sunod-sunod na pagtulo luha ko.

"I though you already love me. " humihikbing sabi ko sakanya.

"Well, think again" huling sinabi nito bago umalis.

Narinig ko ang pag tunog ng sasakyan nito paalis.

Nimbus really have the hobby of leaving me behind.

Dumating ang gabi na wala pa din si Nimbus. I wait him at our sala.
