So Into You

Chapter 25 - Secret Place

Mga bandang alas onse na ng gabi kami nakauwi ng parents ko sa bahay. Hanggang sa pagtulog ay dala-dala ko 'yong mga naging paalala ni Jane sa akin kanina.

Am I rushing things between me and Migz? Paano kung tama nga ang pinsan ko? Paano kung confused lang talaga si Migz? Paano kung natutunan na rin naman niyang mahalin si Mary?

I was in deep thinking when I heard my phone ring. The caller was Migz!

"Hey, Babe! How's the dinner?" Napangiti ako nang matamis bago ako tumugon.

"Kakauwi lang namin sa bahay. I was about to type my reply on your text pero naunahan mo akong tumawag,"masigla kong sabi. He chuckled from the other line.

"I've missed you!" Pakiramdam ko ay tumalon ang puso ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

"I miss you too, Babe!" I answered automatically.

"I have planned out everything for our date tomorrow!" excited niyang sabi. Umayos ako ng upo sa kama pagkatanggal ko ng suot kong sandals.

"We'll watch a movie then we'll have dinner. You'll be at home at around ten. Do you think your parents will allow you?" Napakurap-kurap ako habang nag-iisip nang malalim.

"Magpapaalam ako bukas. Pero nagsabi na ako kay Mommy kanina na may lakad ako bukas."

"Alright. If I was only allowed to visit you and ask for your parents' permission..." May nabanaag akong lungkot sa paraan ng pagsasabi noon ni Migz.

"I'll try to talk to my Mom when they arrived next week. Just bear with our current situation, Babe. You know it's not the kind of relationship that I wanted to give you. There are just some things that are out of our control. " I could feel Migz sincerity. Ramdam ko naman na ayaw niyang iparanas sa akin 'yong patagong relasyon na gaya ng ginagawa namin. Masyado lang naging komplikado ang sitwasyon dahil sa mga naging maling desisyon namin noon.

"You don't have to worry, Babe. I totally understand. Anong oras mo nga pala ako susunduin bukas?"

"I'll pick you up at the main gate of your subdivision at around 1:00 PM," aniya.

"Okay, papayagan naman siguro ako ni Mommy."

It was around twelve midnight when Migz and I ended the call. Siguro bukas ko na lang tatanungin si Migz tungkol sa nasabi sa akin ni Jane kanina. Gusto ko rin kasi talagang malaman kung ano ba ang totoong nararamdaman ni Migz kay Mary.

I wore a cream colored jumpsuit. Mga 12:45 PM ako dumating dito sa labas ng subdivision. Ilang minuto lang ang lumipas ay namataan ko na 'yong Montero ni Migz. I guess he used his Corvette for special occasion. Agaw pansin kasi 'yon, the last time na nakita kong dinala niya sa school. Migz wasn't the flashy type kahit na anak mayaman.

Bumaba siya agad ng sasakyan pagka-park niya sa tapat ko. He is wearing a simple dark blue polo, blue denim jeans and white Nike rubber shoes. He flaunted a boyish grin upon seeing me. His dimples on his both cheeks were exposed. Inalalayan niya ako sa baywang habang papasok kami sa loob ng kanyang sasakyan. I could thoroughly smell his expensive brand of perfume. I cast a deep sigh. This is the Migz that I fell inlove with! Sobrang sweet, cute at mabango!

Binuksan na niya ang makina ng kanyang sasakyan at inayos 'yong aircon sa tapat ko.

"Mabuti at pinayagan ka ni Tita Amie," si Migz habang malapad ang ngiti. I smiled back at him.

"Sinabi ko lalabas kami nina Irish. Hindi naman siguro ako mabubuko kasi hindi naman pumupunta sina Irish sa bahay ng walang pasabi." Migz quickly nodded as he focused on his driving. We catch up throughout the two hours drive. Mostly school stuff ang napag-usapan naming dalawa.
