Tell Me How (Isla De Verde Series #3)

Chapter 40

Life taught us how to be strong alone in order to survive every storm coming in our lives. To take risk is to see greater things beyond what your mere sight can't see.

I looked up above the dark night sky. It's full of stars.

"So beautiful..." I whispered. The cold wind is hitting against my skin making my nape shivered a bit.

Natigilan ako sa pagmamasid sa magandang kalangitan nang maramdaman ko ang pagdampi ng tela sa aking balat. When I looked up, I saw Agamemnon with his serious face while wrapping the blanket around my body.

"It's cold out here. Something's bothering you?" He quietly asked before sitting beside me.

Nasa rooftop kasi ako ngayon at nakatanaw sa magandang kalangitan. The moon is full and shining brightly along with the small figures of the stars.

I shook my head. "Wala naman..."

That's true. Wala naman akong problema. Honestly, I just want to spend time with myself alone because I want to think of the things that has been happening in my life these past few weeks.

I'm happy. I really am. I couldn't wish for more. And I could also say that the wound in my heart has finally healed. Masasabi ko narin na sa wakas, masaya ako at nagtagumpay ako.

"You sure? You know, you can always tell me everything that bothers you."

Dinama ko ang malamig na hangin na tumatama sa aking balat. Namumungay narin ang mga mata ko kaya dahan-dahan akong sumandal sa balikat ni Agamemnon.

"Salamat..." I suddenly said. Naramdaman ko pa ang bahagya niyang paninigas dahil sa sinabi ko.

"For what? I should be the one saying that. If it wasn't because of you...I won't be the man that I am right now." I felt him smiled. Ipinalibot niya ang mga braso sa aking baywang dahilan para mas humigpit ang yakap ko sa kumot na ibinalot niya sa'kin kanina.

"No... you're the most amazing man I've ever met, Emon. All of the things happened in the past is because we needed to grow. We fell apart only to find each other's company again, right?" Tiningala ko siya.

Ang madilim at seryoso niyang mga mata ay napatitig pabalik sa'kin. Hindi ko tuloy mapigilang mapalunok at iiwas na sana ngunit mabilis niyang nailapit ang mukha sa'kin ay siniil ako ng isang magaan ngunit puno ng pagmamahal na halik.

I groaned when he pulled away and stick our foreheads together. Bahagya pa akong hinihingal at nakahawak sa kan'yang balikat dahil sa ginawa niyang paghalik sa'kin.

"If we were ever together and grew apart, I would always come running right back to you because I’m just that loyal and because we're soulmates." aniya at kinindatan ako.

I chuckled. "How did you know that we're soulmates?"

He shrugged. "I just know it. It's a perfect feeling, I guess? You'll eventually know it anyways."

"Is that so?" I said. He just hummed and nodded once again. "Amazing."

Unti-unting pumikit ang mga mata ko dahil sa bumibigat kong talukap. Maybe, because my whole body is just so tired kaya mabilis din akong nakatulog sa kan'yang balikat.

Nang magising ako ay nasa kama na ako at nakabalot ng kumot. Ang liwanag ng araw ay tumatagos sa siwang ng bintana at tumatama iyon sa aking pisngi.

I stretched my arms before hopping out the bed. It's already 8:15 o'clock in the morning and Sunday so I don't have a class.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at agad kong naamoy ang fried rice mula sa kusina. Gusto ko pa naman sa fried rice ang maraming bawang tapos toasted pa. Ah, food is really a heaven!
