RUINS√(Unedited)

Chapter 17

Christmas come and I could hear some fire crackers outside. Abala ako sa panonood ng cooking tutorials, iyon lang naman ang pinagkaakaabalahan ko.

Naantala lang iyon ng mabasa amg text ni Cane. 'Merry Christmas! Wish you all the best!:))'

Naupo ako sa veranda saka nagtipa ng reply 'Merry Christmas too. Miss you :(('

'Huhu me too, Just see you next year!:)'

'Yeah see you :)'

Napatingin ako sa kalangitan, stars were shining and so is the moon. Sometimes I think of touching the moon, its just so beautiful.

I am contemplating on what should I text him. Should I send a long sweet message? Or simply just greet him? Paulit ulit ko lang na binubura ang mga tinitipa ko.

Nagvibrate ang hawak ko and Yvo's text startle me.

'You look good up there' otomatikong nilibot ko ang tingin sa baba and I could see mercedes on a side of the road. Namilog ang mga mata ko at mabilis na napatayo.

'Wont you go here wifey?' exitement filled me. Walang pagdadalawang isip na tinakbo ko palabas ang bahay. Im so happy! My heart flutter so much, hindi ko akalain na makikita ko siya ngayon.

I wore my flip flops and ran as fast as I can to him. He was now leaning on his car and a smile plastered on his lips. He looks dashing on his summer short sleeve stripe polo shirt, short jagger and a pair of sneaker.

"Nandito ka!" I hugged him eagerly. I heard him laugh as he hugged me too.

"Easy, sobra mo akong miss?" tumingala ako habang yakap siya. I can hear his heart beating fast just like me.

"Yvo.. Na miss kita." Nakangiti kong ani sa kanya. Ngayong pasko wala nanaman si mama, ang paalam niya sa akin ay hindi siya dito magpapasko kaya nakakalungkot pero ngayon nandito na si Yvo.

"Dont cry.. I dont wanna see you cry.." he wiped my tears using his thumb. His action makes me wanna cry more out of happiness but I dont wanna spoil this night kaya nakangiti akong muli na nagpunas ng luha.

"This is tears of joy." he hugged me as if not letting me go. Ang tagal ng yakapan namin. Ipinikit ko ang mata at isinandal ang ulo sa kanyang dibdib. If this is just a dream I don't wanna wake up anymore.

Natatawa niya akong tiningnan kaya namula ang muka ko. Ang gwapo niya lalo ngayon sa paningin ko. His hair is kinda messy dahil sa hangin and his eyes full of emotion. Gumuhit ang ngiti sa makurba at mapula niyang labi kaya napangiti ako ng wala sa oras.

Tumingin siya sa bahay saka sa akin. Hinila ko ang kamay niya papasok pero tila ayaw niya gumalaw. "Wala si mama." mas lalo pa ata siyang natuod. "Yvo? Sabi ko wala si mama kaya okay lang." I smile as I tugged him inside.

Pinaupo ko siya sa sala, inilibot niya ng tingin ang bahay. Our house is just simple my parents were minimalist that's why amd besides we're just average.

"Bakit ka pala nandito? Tapos na kayo magcelebrate ng family mo?" I asked enthusiascally. Umupo ako sa tabi niya.

"Yeah," mahinang aniya tsaka tumango.

I can see that he is happy. Maybe his Christmas with his family was really great. I pouted, I wanted to celebrate too with my family but I don't have. But, by simply having him here made my day. Sometines life turns into an unexpected situations and events. Who could have thought that my bully, Yvo can make my heart flutter. I smiled at him.

"Anong ginawa niyo ng family mo? Did you play games?" I was imagining a big happy family with a lot of kids playing in the backyard. That would be much too fun!
