Love's Gentle Whisper [Vesalden Series#3]

Chapter 16

Mother

Life is unbalanced. It does not focus always on what you want to be, and it does not choose your options. Minsan, iyong mga bagay na hindi mo pa inaasahan ang kababagsakan mo.

Precisely, I fell already. I thought I'm not gonna believe in the presence of love because I had never been felt this way before to other guys. It's only Denber.

How funny we hid our inner self to reality. Me—never want to believe true love, him—doesn't prioritize love. Not that I am assuming he's inlove with me. I mean, sa sinabi niya, he likes me right?

"Wala na?" tanong niya matapos gamutin ang sugat sa pisngi ko, tapos na sa kamay ko at nalagyan na rin ng bandage.

Napatitig ako sa mukha niya na seryoso habang tinitingnan ang bawat anggulo ng mukha ko kung may sugat pa ba na hindi nagagamot. Magaan ang pagkahawak niya sa mukha ko. Napapakunot-noo sa tuwing itatabingi ang ulo ko.

"Wala na, dalawa lang iyon." sagot ko naman sa kaniya bago niya ako hinarap nang tingin. He licked his lower lip before sighing and let his hold go.

"The CCTV footage was already watched. And it reveals that, Loire was the one who did it because she was holding a cutter." paliwanag niya bago umupo sa tabi ko. Nasa penthouse na niya kami at nandito ako sa kwarto ko. Katatapos ko lang maligo, at ganoon din siya nang maisipan niyang gamutin ang sugat ko kahit sinabi ko naman na ayos lang dahil kaya ko naman.

Napayuko ako bago napabuntong hininga. Mula sa gilid ng kama ko, kita ko ang maingat na paglalakad ni Bunny dahil malaki na ang kaniyang tiyan. Ramdam ko ang titig sa akin ni Denber pero kinuha ko pa rin si Bunny at kinalong.

"I hate to admit because it kills my pride, but I guess I was at the fault first." amin ko sa kaniya bago siya tingnan. He smirked, his both hands were perched on my bed as he look at me with his tired eyes, like sleepy. He's only at his white cotton shirt and shorts, made him look hotter because he's too simple.

"Sa library?" he chuckled as he said that. Inirapan ko siya. "Ang landi naman kasi, iniiwasan mo na nga." nakangusong sabi ko habang hinahaplos si Bunny. Nakakapanggigil tuloy dahil parang bulate lang ang laman ng tiyan pero may baby na pa lang laman kasi nag-meet iyong si sperm cell at egg cell.

"It's not fine on me too, I was busy and totally ignoring her because I'm not interested in her, but she keeps insisting. That's why whenever she wants us to have a lunch, I always go, to confront her." he said. Napatingin ako sa kaniya.

"Ano naman ang mga sinasabi mo?"

"That I am not interested on her, because I like someone else."

"Uhmm, straightforward. I like it." humalakhak ako sa nasabi. He grinned also.

"What do you want for dinner?" he asked me before standing up and gathering the medicine kit.

"Chicken Adobo." sagot ko sa kaniya. Tumango siya sa akin bago hinaplos bahagya si Bunny. "Luto lang ako,"

After that, he went down. Naiwan naman kami ni Bunny sa kwarto. Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti nang sobra. He likes me! That nerd likes me! I still can't believe it! Hindi naman niya iyon binawi kanina sa detention!

Matapos patulugin si Bunny ay inayos ko muna ang sarili ko para kumportable sa paningin ni Denber. I am on my silk nightdress. Kahit naman wala siyang experience he maybe still have desires?

What the heck?! Ano ba'ng pinagsasabi mo Jia?! Why are you so horny?! Napailing na lang ako sa sarili at naisipang bumaba para makita si Denber. Nang makita ko siya sa kusina ay busy na siya sa pagluto, nakasuot ng apron ngunit may katawagan.
