Chapter 39
HACK

"I'm sorry..." Sojin warbled huskily and buried my face to his naked chest. "I'm stressed."

Natawa ako at pumikit nang mariin. "Talaga? Stress?"

He smirked and pulled me closer to him. "Yeah..."

"Pang-ilang beses 'yon? Lima? Walang hinto-hinto?"

"Stress nga 'ko." katarungan pa niya.

Humalakhak lalo ako. He grinned and snuggled his nose to my neck. I feel so sore and tired. Hindi niya ako tinantanan hanggang sa hindi ako nakiusap!

"Daming trabaho sa kompanya,"

"Kaya ka stress at... nakalima?"

"Oo..."

I laughed again. He groaned and kissed my cheek.

"I could've do more if you didn't just beg me to stop—"

"Tss,"

He chuckled. "You know, I always want to make you live in my house. So we could do this a lot and explore the corners of it—"

Kinurot ko ang dibdib niya. He smirked.

"Ayos lang naman dito pero mas gusto kong doon ka sa bahay ko noon. Sa akin. But I know you won't agree..."

"I really won't. Gusto kong narito ako sa bahay kapag magdesisyon si Daria na bumalik... o kung may kakailanganin siya tapos ako lang ang malalapitan. I want it to be easier for her."

I remember my sister again. Tumahimik ako at kinalma ang sarili. Sojin noticed my sudden heaved so he held my face and put it on his neck. His lips rested on my temple.

Ilang sandali kaming natahimik bago ako nagsalita.

"It's quite... "

"Hm?"

"My mind," I whispered. "It's quite now that I'm with you..."

He swallowed and reached for my hand. He traced my ring finger and gently caressed it.

"When do you want to get married?"

Natigilan ako at napatingin sa kanya. He's now combing my hair through his fingers. "Hindi ko alam. Maybe in the right time?"

He smiled. "We are the ones who set our right time. I'll just wait for your right time, then?"

My heart hammered fast. I laughed to set my assuming thoughts away.

"W-Why? Ikaw ba? Kailan mo gustong magpakasal?"

"Whenever you want it."

I laughed again, nervous now. "Why? Are you ready for that?"

"As long as it's you,"

"I thought you regret being ready for me before?" I teased him, shaking a bit. "Because I know nothing but to lie?"

"I was the one who lied. I didn't regret any moment with you." he swallowed hard. "Babe, please don't use it against me now... I didn't mean it. I'm sorry."

My eyes stayed at him lovingly.

"I am very ready for you. Anytime." he asserted. "I'll wait for you to be ready for it. To be ready for me."

Natahimik ako at marahang pumikit. Bahagya siyang bumangon at may kinuha sa bulsa ng kanyang pantalon na nasa sahig. Then he stood up, combed his hair through his finger, and licked his lower lip. He was still naked and the only cover he has is my white sheets.
