One Great Love

Episode 13

Unti-unting lumalapit ang mukha ng binata sa dalaga, he could smell her sweet natural scent, her minty breathe, naliliyo na ito sa nararamdaman. He closed his eyes just not to meet those daunting gaze she looks so fierce yet so innocent.

"Marie stop it or else you won't like what I'll do with you" saad nito.

She didn't say a word instead she caressed his face touching every inch of it then traces his eyebrows with her fingers down his nose then down to his lips until his chin. Those tingling touch which sent shiver down his spine.

"Marie stop! Ugh! Marie why are you doing this to me!! Stop it!." He murmured.

"Dalton wake up! Dalton! Hey Baby! Wake up!" Pilit na gising sa kanya.

Naalimupungatan si Dalton at nagising sa pagyugyug ng balikat niya hindi niya naramdaman na nakatulog pala siya sa sofa sa pagod.

"Oh sorry mom! I haven't noticed I've slept I was really so tired." Saad ni Dalton na pumupungas pungas pa, bumangon na ito at naupo.

"It's okay Son I know na pinagod kita sa city tour kanina, I know you when your tired. Minsan pa nga I caught you talking in your sleep eh." Smiled Dalton's Mom na para bang may naalala naupo na rin ito sa tabi ng binata.

"But thank you iho I really enjoyed kanina. Sorry din if we pulled you out from your work. Your dad kasi eh bigla ba naman akong pinaimpake at bibisita daw kami dito. Yun pala iiwan lang din ako kasi may kameeting."she pouted her lips.

"Mom, nandito naman ako ah. Don't get mad with Dad okay." She hugged her mom tightly.

"Mom what about if we'll dine out, I'll take you to my favorite restaurant here! It's overlooking the city so I know that you'll love the place. I'll call Dad as well para dumiretso nalang siya doon sa restaurant." Saad ni Dalton.

"Yes Son, thats a good idea, okay I'll have to prepare myself pa. Go and wash yourself up, you smell pawis." She got up and gave Dalton a kiss on his head and nagtungo na sa guest room.

Tumango lang ang binata, nag-unat na ito pumasok kwarto niya at kinuha ang phone para mag-check ng messages. He recieved 8 missed calls. 7 calls from Marie and 1 call from Mang Kanor. While the 4 messages are from Marie. Hinanap niya ang number ng dalaga sa phone at tinawagan ito pero hindi ito nasagot. Dinial pa niya ulit ng ilang beses but she didn't answer.

"Maybe she's already asleep." Then he dialled Mang Kanors number.

"Good evening po Mang Kanor, sorry po if hindi ko nasagot yung tawag kanina, nabusy po talaga ako. Pinasyal kasi namin ni Nanay Omeng si Mama." Saad ng binata.

"Is everything okay po ba diyan Mang Kanor, hindi ko kasi nasagot ang tawag ni Marie, I tried calling her back pero tulog na po yata." Tanong ni Dalton sa matanda.

"Wala namang problema iho, hindi ka daw kasi nasagot, kaya tumawag sa akin at nagpaalam. Nag apply ng leave and pinayagan ko na din, kawawa naman kasi, para na rin makapagpahinga siya." Saad ni Mang Kanor.

"Who'll take responsibility of her work? Saan daw siya pupunta?" Dirediretsong tanong ni Dalton.

"Ha? Ah it's okay iho, may secretary naman tayo dito sa farm siya na muna ang papuntahin ko doon, kaya ko naman na din dito. Huwag kang mag-alala hindi na naman masyadong busy ngayon sa farm. Naandun din naman si Doc. Jeffrey at Doc Bryan para umalalay." Saad ng matanda.

"Okay then Mang Kanor, but make sure na matapos niya muna reporting niya before siya aalis. Sige po Mang Kanor at may pupuntahan pa po kami ni mama. I'll see you in the farm tomorrow." Saad naman ng binata.

"Okay iho, siya nga pala bago ko makalimutan nagpadala ako diyan ng fresh eggs para pangconsumo ninyo pakisabi nalang kay Omeng." Pahabol na saad nito.
