THE RETURN OF A CALDERON (COMPLETED)

#08

NIKKO'S POV

I have lost my words. No one's even speaking between us.

Human nakog hinuktok sa akong kwarto ganiha, I decided to text Lucas to ask if Luca is still awake.

I found out nga naa syay date and he asked me nga i-check daw nako si Luca sa ilang balay kay ganiha radaw dili ma contact.

Ambot nganong na ratol ko, basta akong nahinumduman nalang kay naa nako sa atubangan ni Luca.

She's crying while her eyes are close. Kabantay sad ko nga gapangurog iyang kamot.

I slowly walk towards her to give her comfort.

—

And now we're here sa ilang sofa. Gi unlanan sa ulo ni Luca ang akong paa samtang naka lingkod rako sa sofa.

Wala ko kabalo unsay akong iingon or kung naa bakoy dapat isulti.

“You're alone?” a small voice ask.

I look down to see her. Ga hinuktok ra sya.

I softly rub her hair, “Hmm.. Lucas asked me to check you. Wala daw nimo gina tubag iyang tawag.”

Nakatulala ra si Luca sa kawalan. Halata kaayo sa iyang mata nga pila na sya ka oras ni hilak kay asta nang hubaga.

“My ex..” she suddenly utter.

Nag tan aw rako niya, ga hulat nga mag storya sya.

“My ex boss. He's obsessed and crazy. Good thing I scaped from his hell and that's thanks to his client who came to interrupt us. Maong nibalik dayun ko diris pilipinas para mag tago. To hide from him, but he still did find m-me.” Latina's voice crack.

She's about to cry.

“He..” nihilak na sad sya, “He almost rape me..”

Nag abot akong kilay pati na akong kalagot. My jaw clenched by what I heard.

“He touch m-me-

“Shhhh..” gipahunong nako si Luca sa iyang gina storya. I dont want to hear more kay basin maka patay pakog animal aning orasa.

Gikalma ra nako akong sarili while brushing Latina's hair using my hand.

“T-Thankyou” hunghong niya, “Thankyou for coming early. If you didn't come, surely he'll come first. He have string and assets.”

Naminaw rako niya.

“And sorry for being rude to you earlier. I was just mad.”

Sa iyang gi ingon, akoa syang gi tan aw ug wa ko ka bantay nga ga tan aw nasad sya nako.

Our eyes met. Her eyes are sparkling because of the tears on it.

“I just hated the fact nga dili jud diay ko nimo gusto. You proposed kay tungod sa business.”

Nag abot akong kilay, “Latina, we're kids that time-

She cut me off, “I know nga bata pata ato pero what if that happened today? Karun nga mga dagko nata, what if nag propose nasad ka kay tungod gusto nimo makig negotiate kay papa.”

Mura syag bata nga ga yawyaw. Nitando ra ko, trying to hide my smile.

“Then I won't propose again.. basic.” tubag nako.

Latina immediately stood up nga maoy nagpa pangka sa akong suwang ug iyang agtang.

“Aw!” reklamo nako.

She roll her eyes, “Serves you right. Tsk!”

She was about to walk out but I pull her back to me.

“Nikko!”

“Stay here for a while..” confident nga sulti nako.

Luca blush nga maoy nagpa kilig sakong itlog. Chr.

“Why?” pangutana niya ug nilingkod ug balik sakong kilid.

Nag tutokay ming duha. Until I found my self moving closer to her face.

“Ni.. Nikko..”

“Hmm?”

Wala ra sad syay gi sulti pa hantud sa nag digkit among lips.

I closed my eyes to feel our touched lips and as I open it again, I saw her eyes closed. Means, she likes it.

I moved my lips and she did the same to the opposite direction. We kissed for not too long because we lost air to breath.

Gihangak ko nga ni tan aw niya, she's struck and haven't move yet.

Ningisi ko. I touch her lips to rub it softly, wiping off the saliva we shared.

Pula na kaayo ang nawng ni Luca, and I was about to teased her but,

“W-What you guys just did?!”

Nahulog ko sa sofa pagka dungog nga naay ni storya.

“Kuya?”

“Lucas!"
