The Universe of Us

CHAPTER 27

Hiraya's POV:

"What did you see?" Tanong ni Sandro sa akin.

May nakita na naman akong vision nya.

He was in danger.

And someone saved him.

I don't know kung sino yung nagligtas sa kanya but she really saved him.

"Hiraya, what did you see?" He asked again.

"I.. uh.. I don't know..." Medyo nahihilo ako.

Agad naman akong inalalayan ni Sandro at pinaupo.

"Here.. drink this." He handed me a bottle of water at umupo sa harapan ko.

"Sandro... you need to be careful." I said.

"What... why? May mangyayari bang masama?" He asked looking so worried.

"Just please... mag-ingat ka palagi and wag kang pumupunta punta kahit saan ng mag-isa." I warned him.

"I won't but please will you tell me what is going on?"

"Ano bang nakita mo?"

"I saw--"

Bigla naman may pumasok sa pintuan.

It was a janitor.

"Ay sorry po sir, ma'am. Hindi ko po alam na may tao na pala dito. Maglilinis lang po sana ako." He explained.

"It's alright." Sandro answered.

Tumayo naman ako agad at pumwesto sa may pintuan banda.

We stayed quiet and bumalik si Sandro sa upuan nya.

Minutes later dumating naman si Joshua at Via.

"Breakfast is hereeee." Via said excitedly at nilapag ang supot ng jollibee sa lamesa.

"Kape mo." Joshua said at iniabot sa akin ang mainit na kape galing Jollibee.

"Salamat." I smiled at him.

We looked at Sandro and Via na nakatingin din sa amin.

"Come on... kumain muna tayo." Sandro said.

"Oo nga, baka biglang dumating si Gov Matthew eh. Baka kunin pa yung mango peach pie ko." Via said at nilangtakan agad ang lumpiang shanghai nya.

After our meeting dumiretso na kami sa pagkakampanya nila Sandro at Gov. Matthew.

Our first location was Laoag.

Madami ang taong nakaabang sa kanila since kilala naman talaga si Sandro at parang heartthrob na din.

Nasa likuran naman kami Joshua at nakabantay palagi sa kanya.

"Mukhang uulan ah?" Joshua said.

"Oo nga eh, basa na naman tayo nito." I told him.

"Teka sandali..." Agad niya naman kinuha ang isang payong at binigay sa akin.

"Oh."

Nagtaka naman ako.

"Ano to?".

"Payong. Di mo alam kung ano ang payong?" Joshua said na parang nang-aasar.

Hinampas ko naman sa kanya yung payong pero mahina lang.

"Baliw ka... para ba to kay Sir Sandro?"

"May payong naman atang dala si Ma'am Via para sa kanya." I said.

"Para sayo yan. Baka mabasa ka mamaya." He said then focused on observing the people around us.

Natahimik naman ako.

I looked at Sandro and he was already staring at me.

Luh parang galit?

After the campaign sa Laoag City, Sandro's team decided to have lunch sa isang karenderya.

Everyone was chilling sa gitna ng daan and Sandro continued to greet the people.

I was the one behind him dahil kumakain pa si Joshua.

Bigla naman bumuhos ang malakas na ulan at sakto na hawak ko yung payong.

Kanya kanya naman tumakbo ang mga tao.

I guided him sa isang closed door kubo.

Hindi ko naman napansin na kami lang pala ang tumakbo papunta dito.

My priority was to keep him safe.

"Okay ka lang ba?" I asked him.

"Yeah.. yeah I'm good." He said as he brushes off the water on his hair.

"Ikaw? Okay ka lang?" He asked me again then noticed na basang basa ako.

Siya lang kasi ang pinayungan ko kanina.

"Tayo lang pala ang nandito." I said.

"Oo nga." He answered at naglakad papalapit sa akin.

He slowly took his handkerchief at pinunasan ang mukha ko.

"Basang basa ka." He said.

Natameme naman ako sa kanya at hindi ko alam ba't hindi ako makagalaw.

"Hiraya?!" I heard Joshua shouted my name.

"Josh--" Sandro covered my mouth preventing me to call him.

"Sandali." We stared at each other's eyes and the whole world stopped again.

Except us.

"Hiraya?" Bigla naman pumasok si Joshua na basang basa sa ulan.
