Chapter 44

"Good morning neighbor"

Paulit-ulit na pumasok ang linyang iyon sa tenga ko habang gulat na nakatitig parin sakanya. Para akong kinakapos ng hininga habang sinasalubong ang bawat titig niya, mas lalo ko tuloy naramdaman ang pangungulila

His smile almost fades away while watching my reaction. He even cutely bite his lower lip"ahmm breakfast?"

He even shrugged and his cheek began to look reddish. He even clear his throat, he looks like a teenager boy who was trying to made a conversation with his secret crush

Hanggang sa wala sa sarili kong sinarado ang pinto dahil sa pagka-bigla. Napapikit ako ng mariin bago muli itong binuksan para tingnan kung nananaginip lang ba ako o bangungot na

"Sorry.. ahmm did a bother you?"he almost whispered

"A-ahmm.."I couldn't even uttered!

He sighed"maybe next time."

He was about to leave when I stop him"join me!"

Mabilis na namuo ang ngiti sa mga labi niya at walang sabing pumasok sa loob ng unit ko. Kaya halos dumaan sa ilong ko ang natural niyang nakakaadik na amoy na lalong nagpabilis ng kaba sa dibdib ko

Nagmamadaling sinundan ko siya at mabilis na nakarating naman siya sa kusina ko. Grabe bakit ba iyon ang lumabas sa bibig ko?! Tsaka kailan pa siya nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na mag-first move?!

Naguguluhang pinapanood ko lang ang bawat kilos niya. Nakangiti niya itong ginagawa na para bang pribelehiyo sakanya ito. Napangiwi naman ako

"Hindi kaba nag-sasawa d'yan?"I pointed the meatballs

He chuckled"hindi nga ako nag-reklamo nung laging 'yan ang niluluto mo para sa'kin"

I raised my brow. It automatically pissed me off. Pero hindi ko nalang ito inintindi at hinayaan siya sa gusto niya. Bakit ba kung makaasta siya sa harap ko ay para bang walang nangyari? Para bang galing lang siya sa broad meeting at late lang naka-uwi

"Let's eat"he said, before taking a seat so I did the same

Hindi ko parin inaalis ang tingin ko sakanya. He's acting weird, his smile never leaves from his face. Napansin niya atang hindi ko ginagalaw ang pagkain ko at pinapanood ko lang siya kaya nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin

His presence is familiar but his appearance went different for me. He obviously look more matured now, especially his face features. His muscular body look more fitted to him. Even his hair was in a different cut

"Don't you want the food?"he asked, causally

"What the meaning of this?"I bravely asked, gripping the utensils waiting for him to answer my question

His expression change into serious now. He carefully place the utensils above the table then stare at me"what do you mean?"

"You're asking me for breakfast? You cook for me. For what?"salubong pa ang kilay ko

He remain his gaze on me. It's intense but not that heavy to handle but enough to makes me weak"like what I promise.."

It's almost whispered with his husky voice which made me gulped of nervous. I bite the skin inside my cheek to calm down myself. Magiging marupok muna ako ng slight, try ko lang kung tatalab kahit pa kating kati na 'kong yakapin siya at sabihing miss ko na siya

"Ahh,"tumango-tango pa ako"gano'n ba?"

I saw how his adams apple move and his eyes went softer"I'm back.. for good."
