Forging Fidelity

18

Demir and I felt happiness to the point that we both enjoyed every moments we share. Nakakatuwa lang dahil masiyadong transparent si Demir sa akin about his feelings and emotions.

He asked me to wait for him in just a day being with dad on his business trip abroad, at ngayong araw din ang uwi nila because we all agreed to celebrate Nero’s birthday.

"Don't get me wrong hija, pero kailan kayo uuwi sa bahay ni Demir sa manila?"

Mom asked while putting some fruit cocktails inside the bowl. Gumagawa kami ngayon ng salad because the birthday boy asked mom to create one.

May order naman kami, he just wanted that the salad is made by mom. Paborito niya kasi 'yon.

Kakaiba rin talaga ang pamilyang Friàs when it comes to giving. Halos lahat ng nagtatrabaho rito ay ayaw nang umalis because they treated them as part of their family.

"Sabi niya sa akin, bukas daw po ng umaga."

We already talked about it. Demir wanted me to live with him, and I am so excited dahil magsasama na kami sa bahay niya.

"Tita, pwede ko po ba papuntahin 'yong iba kong kaibigan?"

Nero asked mom. Hindi na siya nahihiya ngayon unlike before, para siyang pipi na hindi nakikipag usap sa amin.

"Yeah, tell them the dinner starts at seven pm."

He smiled and walk towards his room. Ang batang 'yon ay nakakatuwa dahil sa sobrang excited niya ngayon.

Mom and I finished doing salad at two in the afternoon. Tumulong na rin kami maglagay ng mahabang lamesa sa labas ng bahay, because we will be having a dinner outside.

Mom asked Nero if he wanted to throw a party with his friends, but he declined. Mas better daw ang simple dinner at ayaw makipag socialized.

The night came and about to start the dinner when I saw Demir and dad entered the house. Mabilis na nagtama ang tingin naming dalawa, kaya binigyan ko agad siya ng ngiti.

Ang pogi niya with his newly cut hair, and shaved face. Isang araw lang siyang nawala, pero miss na miss ko na siya agad.

Demir kissed me and gave me a present. Hindi naman ako ang may birthday, pero niregaluhan niya pa tin ako.

"Wow, ito ‘yong hinahanap ko sa internet noong nakaraan.” I giggled and gave him kisses. “Thank you, Yael. I love you."

It was a flowers in resin. Ang pagkaka ayos ng mga petals ay naka ayon sa hitsura ko. Mas maganda pa nga yata ako ro’n kaysa hitsura ko.

"I love you more."

Demir is literally showing this side of him. Him being thoughtful, kind, and full of surprises, always gave me butterflies.

“Ehem, baka gusto niyo na kumain muna?”

I chuckled when aunt Divina looked at us. Isa siya sa mga inimbitahan ni mom habang narito pa siya sa bansa.

“Tita.”

Napangiti ako nang yakapin ni Demir ang tita, pagkatapos ay ngumiti rito. Demir hold my hand and walked with auntie towards the table, where everyone is waiting.

“Desmond told me that you’re planning to help him about his citizenship.”

I know Desmond. Iyon ang pangalawang anak ni Auntie Divina, at buong pinsan ni Demir. Siguro, mga ka age lang siya ni Nero.

“Yeah, he even asked about Nero. Gusto niya raw dito sa mansion, para may kasama siyang mag aral.”

Auntie Divina smiled and look at Nero. Si Nero naman, mukhang nahihiya pa kay Auntie dahil ngayon lang niya ito nakita.
