Vanished Love

"Why not try streaming?"

"Row row row your boat gently down the stream." I sang the nursery rhyme, I don't know why I did that. Yun kasi yung pumasok sa isip ko bigla. "Tss, I don't have time for that." I rolled my eyes.

"Corny mo."

"Sino kaya may corny sa atin?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "May mga cheesy lines pa, bulok naman." I whispered, sana hindi niya narinig.

"What?"

"Oh nothing, glad you didn't heard that." I smirked. "Well, aalis na kami ni Ayah dito sa Sunday." Dapat bukas kami aalis since walang pasok and Saturday, wala din naman kaming masyadong assignment. Meron kaming dalawa but I already did that in the school. So I decided sa Sunday na lang kami uuwi because I wanted to go somewhere tomorrow.

"Are you sure?" He asked worriedly. Ano tingin niya sa akin bata? Malaki na ako, may isip na din. He's not even my dad, nasa harap ko "Okay na ba lahat?"

"Yes, I'm already fine." I smiled. I don't know why I feel butterflies I just wanna hug him and thank him for everything that he did. He protected me and he was there in my sad days, he also supports me kahit na hindi ko siya ginusto nung una pa lang but, I was wrong. I felt my heart beats when my body forced me to hug him, siguro dahil yun yung naiisip ko. "I'm luck to have an opportunity to meet you."

My head are in his chest but I was facing to the side and I can hear his heartbeat beating fast, ganon din yung nararamdaman ko. Ito na siguro yung araw na sigurado na ako, I liked him.

I was the one who let go of my hug with him because he was still stunned of what I did. "Goodnight, Chase." I showed him my sweet smile and I went out of the room and closed the door.

When I closed the door there I realized I was going crazy. I never thought I could do that to him, I'm not a clingy person. Even Ayah I have never hugged her.

But I still got butterflies and I don't know why, maybe I was starting to like him or I already liked him? I don't know, kanina naiisip ko na gusto ko talaga siya. I still don't know the answer.

"Hoy, bangag." I jumped a bit when someone called me. I slowly went to Ayah and I insisted on closing her mouth. "Bakit ba?" She said but her voice is muffled.

"Teka lang kinikilig ako ano ba." I whispered to her, tumigil siya sa pagpapalag niya. Dahan dahan niyang tinanggal yung kamay ko sa bibig niya, she looked at me in shocked.

"Bakit?" Bulong niya din. "Bat ka nasa harap ng kuwarto ni kuya Chase?" She asked. "Nako ate ha, anyare? Kayo na b--"

"Soon." I confidently said.

"Ha? Ano? Ano soon? So magiging kayo nga?" She asked a series of questions, I covered her mouth again when she was about to scream.

Hinila ko siya hanggang sa kuwarto ko at ni-lock ang pinto. Umupo ako sa kama at umupo siya sa office chair ko. "Okay, I'll tell you. But don't tell it to anyone please? Pwede mo sabihin kay Charity pero please please please please." I begged her. "Wag sana aabot kay Chase na kinuwento ko."

I inhale a large amount of air and exhale all of it then I started to tell the story. From first to the last, tumayo siya bigla at binato ako ng unan. "Buang ka ba?" Sabi ko sa kaniya.

"Buang kay Chase?" She teased me, pinipilit kong hindi ngumiti pero ngumiti pa din ako. "Yieee, kenekeleg." She said while making a 'cute' face then putting her hair behind her ear.

"Matulog ka na!" I threw the one she threw at me earlier, then she just laughed as she exited my room hindi man lang isinara yung pinto.

I woke up to the noise of Ayah carrying a pot and spoon into my room, ginagawa niyang tambol. "Gising na!" Ulit ulit niya yun kinakanta with a tune of 'Ang mga Ibon'.

I looked at my clock it's already ten a.m! I got up immediately from my bed and went straight to the bathroom. Wala naman akong gagawin pero bakit nagmamadali ako? Or nakita ko lang si Ayah na nakabihis ng pang-alis. I'm sure that Charity and her are the same outfit so I guess I'll be on my own again.

I quickly rinsed my body anf went out of the bathroom. I locked the door of my room before getting dressed. May nakita ako na damit sa ibabaw ng kama ko, siguro 'yon ipapasuot sa akin ni Ayah, siya naman lagi pumipili ng suot ko kahit ayaw ko.

I wear the purple pastel drawstring ruched solid slim tee, high waisted jeans and my white shoes.

Ngayon ko lang naalala na pinag-usapan pala namin kagabi na aalis kami pero hindi pa namin alam kung saan. Mas okay na daw yung agad-agad at hindi pinagplanuhan kasi baka hindi matuloy.

After I got dressed I dried my hair and tied it like a messy bun because it was hot outside and my hair is long.

Pagtapos ko magtali, I put some light make-up. They might mistaken me for a ghost because I'm so pale and I just woke up.

Pagtapos non, bumaba na ako at sinabihan nila ako na sa labas na daw kakain kasi late nagising si Charity at walang nag-luto. "Akala ko ba marunong na magluto 'yan?" Turo ko kay Chase, siyempre si Ayah pumili ng damit ko parehas nanaman kami ng mokong na 'to. Hindi na ako nag reklamo dahil sanay na ako enebe nemen keshe.

"He just tried." Charity said protecting her brother.

"Sunog nga lang." Singit ni Ayah, natawa kaming lahat maliban kay Chase.

After our conversation we went out and got in the car, I sat in the front because that's really where I was. While he was driving, I just fell asleep because it was a bit far away. They woke me up to stop over and eat bread so that somehow our stomachs would be full.

I'm just going to the convenience store because I let them know that I'm going to the cr, panigurado na nasa loob na silang lahat.

Naglalakad lang ako nang biglang may bumangga sa akin na hindi ko kilala pero ang lakas, parang sinadya. That cause me to stumble but I couldn't balance myself so I fell down.

But someone dragged my arm after I fall. The world seems to be in a slow-motion, kaharap ko siya that cause my heart to beat fast. Our face are close to each other that I can smell his manly scent.
