So Close Yet So Far (ON HOLD)

Chapter 25

Not wanting to jail myself from the misery that I am feeling tumayo ako at tsaka dumeretso sa labas ng cottage upang makapunta sa private pool.

Our room is like a mini house everything you need is inside.
The pool looks inviting, I took off my cover up to enjoy the pool.

I jumped in the pool at nagsimula akong lumangoy at nang mapagod ako napagdesisyunan ko na magpahinga muna sa pinakadulo.

I rested my head on the edge of the pool. I am facing our cottage so I can see what's inside but I don't see Hugo.

The thought of them together makes me sick. I closed my eyes to atleast take a glimpse of peace pero mas lalo kong naiisip ang posible nilang ginagawa I bet they are mesmerizing their memories together.

I smiled painfully, Love does hurt.

Makalipas ang ilang minuto nakita ko ang pagbukas ng pintuan ng cottage. The wall in the cottage facing the pool is glass kaya kitang kita ko ang nasa loob nito.

I saw how Hugo entered our room pero mabilis rin itong lumabas at luminga linga. We suddenly locked our eyes.

A sudden pain strikes me again because he was gone for more than an hour, but he's back now I am somehow happy because he cameback.

Lahat ng masamang kaisipan ang dumadaloy sa isipan ko kanina.

I gave him a genuine smile. Ayukong isipin niya na malaking bagay sa akin ang pagpunta at paghabol niya kay Gwendolyn. I want to act strong.

Pinanood ko ang paglakad nito sa direksyon kung nasaan ako.

Hinubad niya ang kanyang tshirt habang naglalakad at itinapon sa gilid, mabilis itong tumalon sa pool at lumangoy patungo sa akin.

After a few seconds he stopped in front of me at umahon. He locked me in between his arms. I was shocked by his sudden move pero hindi ko iyon pinahalata.

He didn't say a word seryuso lang itong nakatitig sa mukha ko na para bang inaaral ito. I also got the chance to stare at him. Nakakamangha talaga ang mapupungay nitong mata, his thick eye brows, his pointed nose and perfect lips. His face is perfect in all angles.

Tinaas nito ang kanyang kamay tsaka ako hinawakan sa mukha. I suddenly felt the urge to close my eyes to feel his warm hands. Marahan nitong dinadama ang aking pisngi using his thumb.

I opened my eyes and looked at his. He gave me a faint smile na tila ba may malalim itong iniisip.

He suddenly hugged me gently. I hugged him back nanatili itong tahimik and I also can't seem to find my voice dahil wala akong masabi.

We remained hugging for a few minutes while I played his hair. I am trying to brush off all of my negative thoughts. Ang mahalaga nandito siya ngayun.

Nararamdaman ko na ang lamig na dulot ng tubig sa swimming pool at ang malamig na simoy ng hangin but his warmth somehow lessen the cold that I feel.

I am amazed how I can act as if I was not greatly affected with the scenario awhile ago and how he could act as if he didn't left me to run after his love. Gusto kong magtampo at magalit pero pakiramdam ko wala rin naman itong magandang patutungohan, mas mabuti ng manahik nalang ako.
