Chapter 34

"Toto! Mayo nagbalik kana di ba, dugayan kamo balik di haw. Pigaw Calcifer ah!"

"Pigaw gid bala, damo ging himo didto. Kabalo ka naman, si Bishop pa gid daan."

Wala siyang magawa kundi ang tumingin sa caretaker ng bahay at kay Calcifer, wala siyang naiintindihan sa mga pinagsasabi nito. Nasa likod siya ni Calcifer. Agad sila ng binati ng caretaker, si Manong Lando. Sa gitna ng pag-uusap ng dalawa ay nilingon siya ni Calcifer, inilagay nito ang isang kamay nito sa bewang niya bago siya iginaya sa harapan.

"Nong Lando, asawahon ko gali. Si Attina, siya lang upod ko di. Ambot kung masunod sila ni Kyx ah."

"Ka-gwapa ba, isa-isa na kamo gadala mga asawahon niyo di ha." Tumawa si Manong Lando pero wala siyang naiintindihan, she just smile before looking at Calcifer. "Basi dason pag-balik niyo apat na kamo may asawahon ha. Ipa-renovate niyo gid ni ang balay para kaigo kamo."

"Mabal-an lang na nong." Ani ni Calcifer bago siya niyakap. "Sulod na kami anay nong. Kapoy na si asawahon daan. May natabo pa daan antis kami nag -halin."

Nginitian niya si Manong Lando ng sa wakas nag-salita ito ng Tagalog. Nag -paalam ito sakanila bago sila tuluyan iniwan doon. Calcifer lead her inside the house. The house is made from cement but mostly wood and glass. The place was dreamy, it's like a tropical hut but fancier and it's a house. The place is huge and has three floors, she could see the backyard through the glass wall.

They had a pool and canopy back there. The type of house everyone dream. She feel calm here. She sigh as she lean her full weight on Calcifer who immediately hug her before kissing her cheek. Nilingon niya ito, may bandaid and bibig at kaliwang pisngi nito. Somehow the bruise is not visible unless you look closely. Agad niya itong hinarap.

"Masakit pa ba ang mukha mo?" She ask, caressing his face. "Pahinga muna tayo ngayon. Maligo ka muna pahiran ko ulit ng ointment ang sugat mo."

Calcifer pout. "I'm fine darling. Anina ka pa nag-aalala." Malambing ani nito. They already talk about what happen in the plane. Calcifer is diligent and careful when it comes to her. He really knew how to handle her sudden outburst and mood swings. Always handling her gently, he never raise his voice or get mad. "I'm fine. Okay? It's not your fault and I'm not mad or annoyed and yes I still want you."

She just chuckle. "Sinagad talaga."

Calcifer kiss her. "You're so beautiful and I know you. Kahit hindi mo sabihin alam ko but darling — " Calcifer make her turn to face him. "You still need to talk me about your feelings and everything else okay? I know enough but not everything." She just nod and Calcifer pout. "Darling I want to be with you, so help me to be with you. Communicate with me. Okay?"

"I will." She hug him. "And God may help me cause you're the first person I want, no doubt. No second thoughts. I want to be with you."

"I love you too darling."

"Hun look!" She exclaim, pointing to the colorful mask and costumes. Parang maliit na attraction iyon. Nakikita niya din may stage mukhang may program na magaganap doon.
