Chapter 12.

"Ledaine...?"

Rinig niyang tawag sa kaniya ng isang pamilyar na boses, kasabay non ay ang biglang pagpumiglas ng dalawang aso at malakas na pagtahol. Dahil hawak-hawak niya ang mga tali nito, at dahil hindi niya inasahan ang biglang pagtayo at pagtakbo ng mga ito, walang kahirap-hirap siyang nadala ng mga ito.

"Eve, Eden!" Masayang tawag ni Yasser habang tumatakbo patungo sa direksyon nila, pero natigilan din siya saka nagmamadaling nagpunta kay Ledaine nang makita ang nangyari sa kaniya. "Hey, be careful!"

Malakas na sigaw niya saka sinambot si Ledaine bago siya tuluyang matumba. Dahil dalawa sila ni Eve at Eden ang sabay na tumakbo papunta sa direksyon ni Yasser habang hawak-hawak ni Ledaine ang tali nila, sabay silang natumba sa damuhan at nagpagulong-gulonv.

"Ugh-- Eve, Eden, calm down!" Malakas na sigaw ni Yasser habang hinahawakan ang likod ng ulo ni Ledaine upang protektahan an ulo nito sa mga bao na nasa damuhan. Tumigil lang kakaikot sa kanila sina Eve at Eden nang tuluyan na ngang pumulupot sa katawan nila ang tali ng mga ito. Sinamaan ng tingin ni Yasser ang mga aso niya habang akap-akap si Ledaine.

"Bad, Eve and Eden. Sit down!"

Eve and Eden immediately sat down on the grassy ground and breath heavily while showing their tongue. It seems like they got very excited seeing Yasser after a long time, but since they are well-trained dogs, they still obeyed him.

Kunot noong inabot ni Yasser ang mga collar nila at tinanggal ang nakakonektang mga tali rito. Kasabay non ay unti-unti niyang inangat ang sarili niya habang tinatanggal ang nakapulot na tali sa kanila ni Ledaine. Pero bigla na lang siyang hinigit ni Ledaine sa leeg at niyakap pabalik sa pwesto niya kanina sa ibabaw nito.

"This is the payment for my effort of bringing your dogs here," bulong niya kay Yasser habang nag-iinit ang mukha. Mahigpit na yakap-yakap niya si Yasser sa leeg gamit ang dalawang braso habang nakabaon ang mukha sa balikat nito. "Don't move."

Just like what Ledaine said, Yasser didn't move. He turn his head and saw his dogs fiercely watching them as if they were puzzled as to why their daddy was suddenly hugging someone while lying on the ground.

"Hindi ka ba nangangati?" Tanong niya kay Ledaine.

"I feel perfectly fine." She answered immediately while tightening her arms around Yasser's neck. "But could you please move a bit closer? I wanna feel you more." She said making Yasser blushed.

"W-What--"

"I don't mean anything, it's just that, I know a time like this won't happen again that easily, so let me enjoy this. Alam mo bang pangarap ko na mayakap ka nang ganito?" Sabi niya na para bang kumakanta sa tenga ni Yasser, "I wish we could be like this forever, Yasser."

Yasser froze, he started to stop breathing for a moment until he heard Ledaine's voice.

"... It would have been more better if the person you love right now is me and not Chloe."

Yasser froze again from a different reason as Ledaine slightly push him away.

"Let's go in, the dogs are tired after travelling for the entire night." She said and tried to remove the leash around them. Yasser remove them in her stead and help her stand up. "Tsk, my surprise was destroyed. Babawi na lang ako next time." Bulong niya sa sarili niya.

Tumingin siya sa paligid at nakita na ang kaninang kulay asul na langit ay kulay kahel na.

"It's morning," she said as Yasser lifted her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck naturally and look at him. "How was your sleep-- wait, what the hell? Why are you carrying me?!" Malakas na tanong niya nang mapagtanto niya na buhat buhat na siya ni Yasser pagkatapos nilang gumulong-gulong sa damuhan.
