Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

2 7

"You're spacing out again. Are you really okay? Do you feel something? You can tell me if there's something running in your mind."

I lost my count on how many times I sighed today. Sunday, it should actually our time together but I am pre-occupied. It's been weeks since Dad told that. I know he's serious, and I don't know if I should be glad that he's still not doing anything.

"Just...some sort of mini problem. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Naramdaman kong siniksik niya ang ulo niya sa leeg ko. The tip of his nose touched my neck and it sends tickles inside me.

"Are you sure? Maybe I can help you deal with that." Tumingin siya sa'kin sandali bago bumalik sa ginagawa niya. I sighed again. Amidst of everything that is happening right now, the least that I can do is heave a sigh.

Masyado siyang madaming iniisip at pinagkakaabalahan para dagdagan pa nito. As long as I can handle things, I will try my best so it won't affect him. Baka mas lalo lang siyang ma-stress kapag sinabi ko ang gustong mangyari ng magaling kong ama.

"Aray!" I glared at him when he sucked my neck. He just laughed at me before sitting properly. "Did you leave a mark? Asshole."

"Give me too." He gestured me his neck while smirking. I rolled my eyes. Unti-unti, inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa leeg niya. "You're really going to----ahh! Bakit ka nangangagat?"

"Pake mo? Magluto ka na." I get up and leave him sulking. Pumasok na ako sa kwarto para maligo.

I stayed at the bathroom for like half an hour. Kung pwedeng do'n na lang ako, mas gugustuhin ko pa. When I went out of the bathroom, I saw Dillion sitting on the edge of the bed. Maybe he's waiting for me. Mabuti na lang at sa loob na ako nagbihis. I just wore a shorts and white t-shirt.

"Kanina pa kita hinihintay." He opened his arms as if he wanted me to give him a hug. I chuckled and hugged him. My forehead creased when he ruffled my hair. "Come on, let's have our dinner."

"What if something happened that will lead us to be apart?" I know that that's so random but I couldn't help asking that. He stopped for a while but he didn't glance at me. I feel his grip on my hand tightened a little.

"Why are you thinking that way? Nothing will happen, okay?" He gives me an assuring smile but his eyes states otherwise. His eyes are showing emotion I couldn't name. "Now, I think we need to eat before the food gets cold."

Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako at sumunod sa kanya. Ang tahimik tuloy namin habang kumakain. It seems that we're both in a deep thought that no one wants to interfere. I glance at him most of the time but I think, he didn't notice that.

Kanina lang, ako ang wala sa sarili, ngayon naman, siya na.

Bonding din ba 'yun?

"Ako na lang magliligpit." I volunteered. Hindi ko na hinintay ang magiging sagot niya at agad na kinuha ang pinagkainan namin. Pinalobo niya ang pisngi niya habang nakatingin sa'kin, nakapatong ang baba sa lamesa. I looked away and continue what I'm doing.

He looks stupid, yet cute, though.

I smiled as I placed the plates on the sink. I started washing it so I can join him in the sala. Sabado naman ngayon at wala akong trabaho bukas kaya okay lang sa'kin ang mag-puyat.

I was startled when I feel someone hugged me from my back. Based on smell, I already knew it was Dillion. Kami lang naman ang nandito sa unit, sino pa bang yayakap sa'kin? Epekto din ba ng stress ang pagkatanga?

"Naghuhugas ako. Ano bang kailangan mo?" I asked him because I can't wash the dish properly. I feel him sniffing my nape. Naadik na siya sa kakasinghot do'n. There's nothing addicting there. "Do'n ka na nga muna."
