I was lying down at my bed, staring at my ceiling. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin.
Nalulungkot ako na Aziel's not here, gusto ko magtampo pero hindi ko rin naman magawa kasi naiintindihan ko siya. We're both so busy.
Kanina, when Agezho asked me if I'm broken-hearted, I answered I'm no. Hindi naman talaga, I was just expecting more and can't help getting disappointed.
But I guess, this is growing up, we're already adults, preparing for adult life.
Ang hirap mag adjust. God.
Hindi ko alam gaano katagal na akong nakatulala sa ceiling. When I checked my phone, isang oras na lang bago matapos ang araw na to. No Aziel.
No celebration of our first anniversary. I sighed.
I decided to just sleep. I was hugging my pillow and was about to close my eyes when the door of my room opened kaya napalingon ako doon.
Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita si Aziel, hinihingal pa ito habang nakasandal sa pinto.
He licked his lower lip and bit it before getting near me.
"Shit, nakaabot ako." Sabi nito at hinila ako patayo.
"Happy Anniversary, Ellie ko." Malambing ang boses na sabi nito.
He hugged me tight kaya niyakap ko rin ito. He came! Andito siya!
"Happy Anniversary." Mahina ang boses kong sabi pero may ngiti sa labi.
He kissed my forehead first before letting go. "Kanina ka pa?"
"Yes, I texted you!" Nakangusong sabi ko dito. He cupped my cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I didn't check my phone anymore. I immediately drove here when my duty's done."
"Thanks for coming," Napanguso ito.
"As I should." He said. Napatitig kami sa mata ng isa't isa. "Let's go to the rooftop?"
Napatango naman ako sa kanya. I wore a winter jacket while he went to his room to change his clothes.
Nang makalabas ng kwarto ko ay sa kwarto niya muna ako pumunta. I think he's taking a bath. Nahiga nalang ako sa kama niya at napatitig sa kisame.
Nang lumabas itong banyo ay napaupo na ako. He's just wearing a towel on his hips kaya napataas ang kilay ko bago napaiwas ng tingin.
Damn, he's hot. It's been so long since I last saw him topless, his body has become more defined and his abs look harder.
Hindi ko tuloy alam ano ginagawa niya sa hospital, nag lilift ba siya don ng mga pasyente?
He changed his clothes, hindi ko maiwasang mapatingin sa likod niya. Damn it, his back muscles flexing. Hindi niya naman napapansin ang titig ko dahil nakatalikod ito sakin.
Nang matapos ay humarap ito sakin. He's just wearing a white vneck shirt and black cargo pants. He also covered himself with winter jacket.
"Tara?" He asked as he got his guitar.
Napatango ako at nauna nang lumabas. Sumunod naman siya, pero natigilan kami ng makasalubong namin sa hallway si Agezho.
Napataas ang kilay nito samin. "San kayo?" Nagtatakang tanong nito.
"Rooftop." Sagot ni Aziel habang nakangisi.
"It's so cold." Nakakunot noong sabi nito samin.
I just shrugged my shoulders at him bago siya nilampasan. Pumunta akong taas, si Aziel ay natagalan bago sumunod.
