A Glimpse in Paradise

Chapter 21

"Aray!" he complained when I pressed the cotton with betadine on his flesh wound on purpose. "What happened ba kasi?" I asked while cleaning up the remaining blood on his forehead.

"It's slippery and the road was not that clear-- oh English 'yon ah.." marahan kong tinampal ang braso n'ya. Napangiwi na lang siya sa ginawa ko. "..'di namin nakita na may tumawid na aso, kaya boogsh!" hayop na 'to, may pa-sound effects pa!

"Ayon, bumangga kami sa kahoy tapos hindi ko namalayan na nawalan pala kami pareho ni mang Danyel ng malay. Pagkagising namin, ayon magic! May mga sugat na kami." I just rolled my eyes because I am so naiinis! And him? He's just chilling while his both hands are on his nape. Kainis, 'di ba? "Tapos?"

"Kawawa naman kasi ang aso kapag 'di ko niliko ang sasakyan. Ang sasakyan pwedi pang ipagawa, e' yong buhay ng aso?"

"What about your life? Have you ever thought of that, Cyrus? Mas kawawa ako-- ang mama mo kapag may nangyaring masama sa'yo!" my tears was about to fall. "Buhay naman ako. Maganda ba surprise ko sa'yo?" nagawa pa talaga n'yang magbiro.

"Palibhasa, hindi ikaw ang nag-alala." he then settled his eyes at me. "Ayos, ba?" he asked while wiggling his brows and showed me a thumbs up. "Ewan ko sa'yo." agad siya tumuwid sa pagkakaupo nang sinabi ko 'yon. He held up my chin and looked into my eyes. "Okay lang na ako ang masaktan, 'wag na ikaw kasi 'di ko kaya 'yon."he kissed my forehead and embraced me after that. "Ako rin naman, hindi ko kayang masaktan ka." I replied. "Me too, babe, me too."

"I love you." he said. Then suddenly, my heart went to normal again. "I love you."

.

"How was my brother-in-law?" Aviona asked. "Wow, ha? Ako kaya? E' kamuntik na akong atakihin sa puso."

"May muntik pa naman, pero 'yong boyfriend mo, maraming sugat. Am I right?" she added. "Sus, malayo sa bituka!" sabi ko. "Talaga lang, huh? E' halos mauna ka pa ngang ma-dead bull sa kaniya, eh." she ended up burst out laughing. She had a point naman. As if naman that I can manage everything without Cyrus. "Sige na. I still have work. Kamusta mo 'ko kay mama. See you soon, ampon!"

This mf won't change. "See you." I hung up the call after.

"Who was that?" Cyrus asked as soon as he entered my room. Yeah, my room, not our room. We haven't slept together yet, in the same bedroom. He sleeps in the sala most of the time, I mean- everytime he wants to be with me. I told him last time, like many times actually, that it's okay if we sleep together. I won't mind. Besides, we're in a serious relationship, unless he's not sure.

You know what he replied? "Saka na kapag kasal na tayo." 'di ba mas conservative pa sakin? Sino ba mas babae sa 'min? Tss. It's a once in a lifetime offer, duh? But he just discepted. Okay lang naman sa 'kin. At least 'di ba? You know sinusubukan ko lang naman s'ya. So ayon, cute n'ya lang.

"Hoy!" I was astounded when he snapped his fingers right in my face. He's always doing that. My man is so fckin' weirdo, but I am already used to it. "Tulala ka na naman."

"Nah. Aviona called. She just checked on me if how am I."

"Okay. I'll just get some breakfast- I mean, I'll cook our breakfast." he winked after that. I just smiled and nodded.

I stood up after he left, but before he come back, I fixed myself first. I was about to get my comb when I received a text.

Cyrus: Don't go downstairs. It's a breakfast in bed, dear. -lots of love, hubby.

A smile crept on my face after reading what he just sent. I just shook my hear with #superkiligfactor.

Cyrus and his cheesy gestures. I love everything about him.
