Shelter In You (MASVEDO SERIES #2)

Kabanata 38

Nakasimangot kong tiningnan si Dave na kapapasok lang sa kwarto. He's been sleeping here since yesterday and damn, parang ayaw ko ng umalis dito. Para akong nasa isang panaginip na hinding-hindi ko na gugustuhing gumisang pa.

I just want to stay like this. Like I am just am ordinary person, no cameras, no fans and no judgemental opinions from the people who doesn't know me personally.

I like modeling yes, I love it. It's my job but I also want a peaceful life like this.

Tuloy-tuloy si Dave na pumasok sa banyo kaya napanguso ako. He's so serious and I find it really hot.

My phone rang and It's a video call from my Mom so I immediately answered it.

"Bella!" She excitedly greeted and I could Henz' poker face just beside her.

"Mom? Where are you going?" I asked when I saw some luggage right behind them.

"Ahmm we are going back in Philippines, in Masvedo I mean."

Napakunot ang noo ko.

"What? What will you do in Masvedo?" Mom just smiled and shrugged.

"Visit? And I heard that a strong typhoon hit the Philippines so I will check our old house in Masvedo and I am planning to fix it. Maybe a villa for a vacation?"

Strong typhoon hit the Philippines? Dave knew about this?

"For what Mom?"

"I love Masvedo you know that."

I sighed and look at my brother who's looking at his phone coldly.

"Dadalhin mo 'yan?" Tukoy ko kay Henz.

"Of course Ate." Sabat niya kaya napairap ako.

He used to be cute! He grew up so cold like Dave! I just hope he won't be as naughty.

"And we'll use the plane."

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako saka tumango.

Nang marinig kong bumukas ang pintuan ng banyo sa likuran agad akong napalingon doon. Dave went out with towel on his hips. Agad dumako ang mga mata niya sa screen ng phone ko.

"Kuya Dave!" Gulat na sigaw ni Henz sa kabilang linya.

Napairap nalang ako saka tinuon na ulit ang tingin sa phone ko. Henz is smiling widely while Mom is still shock.

"Yeah that's Dave." Medyo natatawa na sabi ko.

"Tita, Henz" bati ni Dave at umupo sa tabi ko.

Biglang bumalik sa sarili si Mommy kaya napatikhim siya.

"Dave? You and Bella? Are you together again?" I nodded at Mom lazily that made her eyes widened.

"Kuya Dave! We're going in Masvedo! I wanna see you. Teach me how to ride a horse!"

Parang biglang bumalik ang batang Henz pagpakita niya kay Dave.

"God, I am expecting this but I'm so shock" Naiiling na sabi ni Mommy kaya napanguso ako ng bahagya.

"Ate! I wanna see kuya Dave! When will you go back in here? With kuya?"

"Soon"

"Ate! You're in Barcelona?-Mom let's go in Barcelona then Philippines after."

Natatawa nalang ako sa pamimilit ni Henz kay Mommy. He really look so thrilled seeing Dave with me. The call lasted for two hours before Henz stopped ranting about going here. They still have a flight so we need to end the call.
