Lan Danaya : Ang Paggising

IX

Parang di ko na kinaya ang stress nung gabing iyon. Matapos kong humagulgol sa iyak ay dinala nila ako sa clinic and the clinic sent me home... Seems like that call affected me emotionally. And now parang lahat ng bagay ay naaapektuhan na...

I decided to sleep at the office sleeping lounge and waited for the sun. Ayokong umuwi mag isa... But I decided not to go home... I will visit mom after tonight... I needed someone to talk to..

As I was about to close my eyes, he came into my mind... He embraced me.... Sobrang ngayon lang nag sink in sa akin iyon at ngayon lang ako kinikilig... At least nangingibabaw na saken ngayon ang kilig.... Ramdam ko ang matipuno niyang katawan habang akap akap niya ako nang mahigpit... Iba... Iba ang akap na iyon...

"..... Jewelle?" its a mans voice, parang galing ito sa may pinto ng sleeping lounge.. Sa boses pa lang mukhang kilala ko na ang nasa likod ng pinto.

I opened the door slowly at sinilip ang pinanggalingan ng boses.... Siya nga...

"Hey....."I whispered...

"Hey..... are you ok now." he gently asked... his eyes filled with worries... Nakakatunaw ang mga tingin niya.... tagos...

Lumabas na ako ng sleeping lounge para makausap siya nang maayos. And I gently closed the door...

"Yeah... better..."I said in a low tone.... Ayokong magsisisigaw sa kilig this time dahil baka magising ang mga natutulog. "Hey.... thanks.... for..."

"Thats ok...." putol niya....Then he stared at me straight to my eyes.... Pero hindi ako nagpaintimidate.... Nilabanan ko ang tingin niyang iyon...

"If you need anything.... Im just...."sabay hinalikan niya ako ng mahigpit... Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil ang mga labing iyon ay mukhang walang balak na umalis sa labi ko...

And I fought, I kissed him just like he kissed me.. Hard.... Then he pushed me against the wall and raced his lips against mine again.... And I felt his hands on my legs and he lifted me....... but on my back is the first alarm and I accidently lifted it which triggered the alarm...

++++++++++++++++++++

And the alarm just ruined everything...

Then I woke up.... and fell on my bed....

Did I just float?

Then I reached for my phone and turned off the alarm...... Its 7am, Time to go...
