We talked about a lot of things, but nothing too personal

" Do you wanna go back there na?? I'm sorry i dragged you here kanina " Jea apologetically said

I look at her and smiled

" Oh no, okay lang"

" Are you sure?? Aren't you hungry ba, kung want mo we can go back na"

She's really cute when she's talking like this....i could hear her talk all day and never get tired of it

" No really Jea, I'm fine... Tsaka hindi rin naman ako gutom eh" Sagot ko

Or maybe i am hungry, pero sa hindi malamanh dahilan ayoko pang bumalik kila Josh

Tinitigan niya ako na parang nagdududa siya sa sagot ko

" How about tour me around na lang??I'm sure may mga naka tago ka pang surprises jan, a hidden room perhaps?" Pagiiba ko ng topic para hindi na siya mangulit

She smiled and slightly chuckled

Gosh she's really cute

" Sure, come on...I'll show you something" she finally said and led me into a small hallway

Tumigil kami sa kalagitnaan nito at nakita ko na may pintoan, it's blended with the wall kaya kung hindi mo titignan nang malapitan hindi mo ito makikita

Binuksan ito ni Janella, and signalles me to follow her...so i did

It's pretty large room...it has a king sized bed, two aquarium built inside the wall, and a Large Smart Tv in between of it

Actually kompleto yata ang gamit sa isang bahay sa loob ng kuwarto na 'to

Naupo si Janella sa dulo ng bed

" Dito ako nagpapahinga kapag nandito ako, mas tahimik at comfortable kesa sa mismong resort" She quietly said

Tahimik ko lang rin na pinagmamasdan siya

" Baka matunaw naman ako niyan"

Upon hearing her speak, doon pa lang ako nabalik sa realidad

I giggled and smiled

She tapped the space next to her indicating na tabihan ko siya...So i did

" Hindi, may naiisip lang kase ako" sabi ko habang naupo sa tabi niya

Humarap siya nang bahagya sa'kin

" And ano naman yon?" She curiously asked

Lumayo ako nang ka onti sa kaniya para maharap ko siya nang maayos

" This might be personal but...have you ever wondered why, uhmm why our family is you know...rivals??or something like that"

Sa totoo lang kinakabahan akong pag usapan 'to with her....but what can i do , i can't help but be comfortable when i'm with her

Seems illegal but feels damn right

Almost immediately her smile dropped, and became tense...although she tried to hide it

" W-well...I've heard my family's side of the story, pero hindi pa lahat" she nervously said

" B-but i dont want to judge r-really, I-I mean side lang naman ng family ko yon 'dba?...and it's not like i could hear you side of story" she awkwardly laughed at the end of her statement

" Bakit naman hindi???I mean, i would definitely share you the story but unfortunately, walang nasasabi sa'kin sina Dadi" Sabi ko naman

She shook her head

" No, you can't share it sa'kin kahit malaman mo yong kwento...Kase when my Grandmom passed away, she said never share the story, specially to someone t-that th y...yo you know"

She cannot bring herself to say it

" Someone like me, who carries my family's bloodline" i finished it for her

" Alam mo nakaka inggit ka, kase kahit papaano nag ku kwento sila kung ano ba nangyari" I told her

I looked at her, she's intently staring at me, parang gusto niyang magsalita, parang may gusto siyang sabihin pero linalabanan niya yong sarili niyang sabihin yon

Gustong gusto ko ring malaman, pero hindi tamang pilitin siya o kahit sino man na gawin ang isang bagay na hindi sila komportable

So i held her hand at nginitian siya

" It's okay...Don't force yourself, don't ever force yourself to do something if you're uncomfortable" I said

At ramdam ko kung paano siya kumalma....I smiled on that thought

I feel a deep danger awaiting for me everytime i hold her...but it's also like a magnet that keeps pulling me

Nakakatakot na hindi ko alam kung ano ang kapahamakang naghihintay sa'kin, but whenever i touch her nothing else matter anymore...only her

Just her...
