Kabanata 11 | "I love..."
Naalimpungatan ako ng makarinig ako ng mga katok sa pintuan.
And realization hits me when I felt a heavy arms encircled tightly in my small body.
I'm not in my room... I'm not in my house...
"Babe... Renuah, someone is knocking the door."I tried to wake him up,but he only put his face into my neck.
Nagpatuloy ang mga katok at nakaramdam ako ng pagka-aligaga kaya niyugyug ko ng buong lakas si Renuah.
"May tao..."I frustratingly said,and that is when he open his eyes.
"Don't mind it..."Aniya bago bumalik sa pagyakap sa akin.
"Maybe it's your mom... Renuah please, open the door."I pleaded.
He groaned and he quickly move at nagpunta sa pinto...
"Fuck you,Theo!"He madly blurted when he opened the door.
I heard a baritone chuckled at hindi nga ako nagkamali na isa itong lalaki ng pilit nitong ipasok ang ulo sa maliit na siwang mula sa pagkakabukas ni Renuah.
"I heard you bring your girlfriend!"Aniya na may tonong nang-aasar.
And when his eyes settled on me,he smirked so wide.
"Oh!...Hi there, pretty."He even waved his hand like a kid.
Hindi ako umimik at tinignan lang sila ni Renuah.
"Fuck off...Go away!"Pagtataboy ni Renuah dito.
Tumawa ang lalaki at tinignan pa ako ng isang beses bago nya hinarap si Renuah.
"Dad,is already here... Early dinner is ready downstairs."He informed pero hindi sumagot si Renuah at pinagsarhan lang ito ng pinto.
"That fucker!"Himutok nito at naglakad sa pwesto ko.
Pero ang galit na mukha ay lumambot ng ito'y dumapo sa akin.
"You,okay?"He sweetly asked and bow down to kissed my forehead.
Tumango ako at pinagpag ang tabi ko para iparating sa kanya na gusto ko syang umupo sa tabi ko.
And he obliged.
"Kapatid mo sya?"I asked.
I encircled my arms on his body and settled my cheeks on his chest.
"Yeah, I'm the oldest."sagot nito.
I can sense that he is not interested to talk about his siblings so I just stopped.
"Let's go downstairs... You'll meet my parents."He informed me and that is when another batch of nervousness ate my system again.
Agaran akong tumayo para ayusin ang suot at pustura ko.
I went to his vanity mirror and I applied a liptint to cover my pale lips.
I even comb my hear.
"Hey... Relax,they will like you."Pangungumbinsi nya at pumunta sa likod ko at niyakap nya ako sa ganoong pwesto.
"I think they are serious...Kase seryoso ka rin, almost everyday."He chuckled when he heard what I said.
The thumped of my heart is so palpable that I can't relax.
Pinatayo nya ako,at iniharap sa kanya.
When I saw his long sleeve ruffled,I put my shaking hands and fix it.
Pero agaran nya itong kinuha at hinalikan.
"Let's go... Just keep calm."He said and guided me out.
Bumaba kami at tinungo ang dining area nila and every sets of eyes directed to us,the time we entered.
