So Close Yet So Far (ON HOLD)

Chapter 19

I am currently preparing to have a family dinner with my family. It is decided that mag didinner nalang kaming pamilya para sa kaarawan ni mommy kaysa magkaroon pa ng engrading selebrasyon.

I wore a semi fitted purple satin bodycon mini dress and a silver clutch bag and heels.

I curled my hair and let it flow and I wore my most expensive perfume.

I am also wearing a simple accessories, a thin gold choker necklace and a long simple one. A simple long diamond earrings that I got from my Mom on my 19th birthday.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I smiled at my reflection because I am satisfied with I am seeing. It's a good thing that Brianna and I practiced putting makeup on ourselves kaya hindi problema pag may biglaan kaming lakad dahil kaya namin gawin mag isa. I didn't put on a full glam makeup dahil family dinner lang naman ito.

I then walked out of my room and directly went to the stairs dahil alam ko na naghihintay na sa baba si Hugo.

As I walked down the stairs hinanap ng mata ko si Hugo. Nakita ko siya na nakaupo sa sala. We locked eyes and he is watching every steps that I make.

He is wearing a black polo shirt and a beige trouser. He looks very handsome. Idagdag pa na sobrang bango nito.

Nahiya ako sa paraan ng pagtitig nito, I walked towards his direction para yayain na siyang umalis. He remained watching me hanggang sa tumigil ako sa harapan nito.

Ang mga titig nito ay hindi nagiba nanatili itong naka tingin sa akin ng marahan. We locked eye contacts again pero hindi ko ito matagalan. Kaya umiwas ako ng tingin.

"I'm done. Let's go?" Wala akong nakuhang sagot sa kanya kaya naman tumingin ako ulit sa kanya.

But I caught his eyes again and he is looking at me intently.

"Hugo tara na baka malate pa tayo." Sabi ko tsaka hinawakan ang kamay nito upang hilahin palabas.

Pero pinigilan nito ang kamay ko.

"Wait." Maiksi nitong sabi. Kaya naman tumingin ako ulit sa kanya.

His low baritone voice always gets me.

Nanatili akong nakatingin sa kanya habang hinihintay ang sasabihin nito.

Lumapit siya sa akin tsaka pinaikot ang kamay nito sa leeg ko naramdaman ko ang pag galaw nito ng kung ano sa leeg ko.

After a few seconds I felt my necklace loosened up on my neck.

He removed my necklace kaya napatingin ako sa kanya ng kuryoso.

What is he doing?

"I got something for you." Saad nito

And then I saw him pull out something on his pocket. It's a box.

He then opened it and I saw a diamond necklace with purple sapphire on the middle.

I was astonished with what I saw. It is a very beautiful necklace, I can't believe it.

He grabbed it from the box. Tapos lumapit ulit siya sa akin upang isout ito sa akin.

"I got this for you last month but I didn't find the right moment to give it to you." Saad nito.

My heart is beating so fast not because he gave me an expensive and beautiful necklace but because of how he can easily make my heart flutter just by his simple words and actions.

Nang masout niya ito sa akin nilipat ko ang tingin ko rito. Talaga namang napakaganda nito. It even complimented my dress. This coincidence is one of a kind.
