Kanina pa siya palakad lakad sa sala. Hindi siya mapalagay. Fuck, he should have asks Sunshine's number awhile ago. Hindi na kasi gumagana dating number nito.
He's worried. Paano kung may mangyari dito? He can't accept that. Kakakita niya lang sa dalaga tapos mawawala ito?
Gusto niyang saktan ang sarili dahil sa mga negatibong scenarios na naiisip. He should be doing something right now.
Pray! Yes he needs to fucking pray for sunshine's safety.
He looks around and decided to sat on one of the sofa. He normally not a religious person but for sunshine's sake he will do it.
But how is he gonna do it? Fuck.
He grab his phone and call his mom. He knows na madaling araw na doon but he needs to ask her.
"Iho?" Sagot nito.
"Ma sorry for calling you this late but
I have a question."
"Hmm? Ano yun?"
"How do you pray? A heartfelt prayer na pakikinggan ng diyos?"
Tila natigilan ito dahil it took her few seconds before she answered him.
"Baby as long as it came from your heart, god will listen." Sabi nito.
"How will I start it mom? I already forgot those prayers you taught me when I'm little." Frustrated niyang sabi na ikinatawa ng mama niya.
"Oh my son. Talk to him like how you talk to you dad. The most important thing in a prayer is the sincerity anak. You don't need to know anything, you just need to talk to god like he's infront of you and be sincere."
"Thanks mom."
"Sino ba tong ipagdadasal mo para ipagdasal ko din siya." Tanong nito at walang pag dadalawang isip na sinagot niya ito.
"It's Sunshine ma. The person who save me. Ang babaeng promotekta sa akin habang nasa panganib ako."
"She's that important for you to ak me about how to pray?"
"Yes mom. I fell for her. Hard and deep." He said bago bumuntong hininga. "She almost lost her life protecting me and now she's out again facing battles for the betterment of this society."
"Will you be ok with that anak? Her being in danger everytime?"
"No. But I prepare to have that as long as I have her ma. Just like how you face danger just to be with dad." Sabi niya. "Plus I myself is always in danger mom, that's why I meet here."
"Well, as long as you will be happy, you know that I will support you know matter what." Sabi nito na ikinangiti niya.
"Thanks mom, I love you."
"I love you too anak. Now pray for her safety, I will do the same." Sabi nito bago ibinaba ang tawag niya.
Huminga siya nang malalim bago ipinagsalikop ang mga mata. He did what his mom told him and pray.
"I don't know how to start this, but I'm here ready to beg for the safety of the woman I love. Can you please make her safe? She might be in danger right now so please make her safe." He said.
"Well I'm safe." A voice said na ikinadilat niya.
There standing infront of him is Sunshine casually looking at her. Marungis ito at pawisan at mukhang pagod.
"Sinta." He said bago tumayo at niyakap ito. "Are you ok?" He asks.
Huminga ito ng malalim bago sinagot ang yakap niya.
"I'm tired Dark." Mahina nitong sabi.
"Are you hurt Sinta?" He asks bago hinaplos ang buhok nito.
"No. But I'm tired. Pwede bang makitulog dito?" Tanong nito.
"Of course baby. Come let's take you to bed."
"I'm dirty, but I am tired. Tila babagsak na ako sa subrang pagod."
"You want me to clean you up?" He asks gently.
"Hmm. Pero wag mo akong silipan." Sabi nito na ikinatawa niya.
"I won't. I promise." He said at tumango ito bilang sagot kaya kinarga niya ang dalaga na pangkasal at hinayaan itong magpahinga sa dibdib niya.
He brings her to his room at lay her on the bed bago umayos ng tayo.
"I'll just prepare the tub ok?"
"Hmm." She said.
He goes to his bathroom and put warm water on the tub and some bubble bomb for relaxation bago niya binalikan si Sunshine.
Nakaupo na ito sa kama at inaalisan ng bala ang baril na hawak.
"The tub is ready." He said bago ito nilapitan.
"Paheram ako ng damit mo." Sabi nito bago inalis ang suot na sapatos.
"I'll have it ready." He said bago ito hinila patayo. "Go soak in the tub I'll prepare everything."
Tumango ito bago pumasok sa banyo niya while he prepares the clothes she will wear. He also pull out some of his boxer short na hindi niya pa nagagamit para dito.
"Sinta." He said bago kumatok sa pinto. "Do you need anything else?"
"Pasok ka." Dinig niyang sabi nito.
"Is that ok?" He said.
"Hmm. Di mo ako masisilipan." Dinig niyang sabi nito kaya agad niyang binuksan ang pinto at pumasok.
The moment he got in ay agad niyang nakita si Sunshine na nakaloblob sa bathtub.
"Hi." He said at pagod itong ngumiti.
"Hello."She said bago isinandal ang pisngi sa tub. "Pwede pa shampoo ng buhok?"
"Ofcourse Sinta." He said bago lumuhod sa tabi ng tub. He then grab a faucet and make her hair wet habang pumikit naman si Sunshine.
True enough na hindi masisilipan dahil sa mga bula sa bathtub. He shampoo her hair and wash it.
"Done Sinta." He said pero di na ito sumagot.
When he look at her ay tulog na pala ito. A smile creep on his face habang tinitingnan ito. Halata nga sa mukha nito ang pagod kaya hinalikan niya ito sa pisngi bago sinimulang tuyuin ng tuwalya ang buhok nito.
Then he push the drain area of the tub and grab a towel to cover her body. He was looking up and tried his best to not see her body and when he succeed ay agad niyang pinulupot dito ang malaking towel bago ito kinarga palabas sa banyo.
Once he lay her down in the bed ay agad niya itong kinumutan bago isinuot ang damit niya dito and also his boxer short. Once his done ay agad siyang napahinga ng malalim. Bago pumasok ulit sa banyo and grab her dirty clothes and put it on the laundry bag.
He then took a shower and change on his pajama bottoms and white shirt bago humiga sa tabi ni Sunshine. He grab her close to him and hug her bago niya ito hinalikan sa noo.
"Goodnight Sinta. I love you."
