He Ghosted Me (Dela Vega Cousins #1)

Chapter 16

Did you ever ask yourself? About why did this happen to me? What did I do wrong to feel this? There's so many people living in this world, why me?

The first thing I can hear is whispers not to far away from me when I regain my consciousness. I can feel the cold air touching my skin and the rays of the light given by the light bulb above where I'm lying at.

What happened?

In order to find the answer. I slowly open my eyes. It takes seconds to make my eyes adjust to the bright light above me. When my eyesight is already clear, I scan the whole room.

The first thing I see is the cabinet full of medical things like first aid kit, etc. It is located in front of the bed where I'm sitting at.  Next is the air conditioner, it's located at the left side of the bed. Beside it has a small white sheet of curtain. Probably it's a window. On the right side of the bed, there's a two meter space before the two single sopa.

Nandon si Tita Ritchel at Kuya Pierre. Sila pala yung bumubulong kanina.  Umabot rin ng isang minuto nang mapansin rin nila na gising na ako. Kinamusta agad ako ni Tita Ritchel at tinananong, tanging tango lang at iling ang isinagot ko sa kaniya.

"Labas mo na ako Mic. Tatawagan ko lang ang mama mo."  Sabi niya sa akin at ngumiti ng marahan. Tumango lang ulit ako at ngumiti rin. Isang pilit na ngiti. Bumalik muna siya kay Kuya Pierre at may sinabi doon bago lumabas.

Isang mahabang katahimikan ang nakapalibot sa amin pagkatapos lumabas ni tita. It's a little awkward for me. We're not talking but I can feel his gaze, and I can't give him back the intensity of his piercing gaze because I'm too busy minding my beating heart.

I feel like there's an eerie feeling that slowly building up between us. But whenever I feel this, there is so many hindrance in my fantasy to him. Sad life.

Funny. Ba't ko ba kasi naramdaman to? 
I think, I'm just one of those people I described on what is love in my point of view. I become dumb because of love. And I'm really dumb because I can't scape the way I love him.

"Why?"  Putol niya sa napakahabang katahimikan. Doon na ako napatingin sa kaniya.

And that's where I met her full of emotion eyes. But i can't even decipher each one of them.

This man is really hard to read and predict his actions. I don't know, but this is one of the characteristics I love about him.

"Why didn't you tell me?"  Tanong ulit niya.

"Huh?"  Tanging sambit ko lang.

"Never mind."  Bawi niya. At umiling ng marahan. Tumango lang ako at binalik ang tingin sa aking sarili.

Bumaba ako sa aking hinigaan pagkatapos ng ilang sandali. Napahawak naman ako sa kama ng bigla na namang umikot ang aking paningin.

Not again!

Isang mainit na kamay ang humawak sa aking baywang at kamay para alalayan ako. Pinilig ko ang aking ulo papunta sa taong humawak sa akin ngayon. But then it's a wrong move.

Dang! Our face is so close!

His nose is touching my  cheek. And I can feel his hot breath on my right face down to my neck. Suddenly, chills is running down on my spine.

"Careful."  He whispered.

Honestly! This is insane!

I can't help but to close my eyes because of the electrifying feelings I felt. I hope I'm not just the one who feel this.

"Be careful next time Brie."  He whispered again.

Oh my! This is heaven! I silently prayed that this time, just this time. The reality will just let us be this close to each other. Just this time.
