“I don’t want you to leave either, but you worked so hard on this beautiful mansion.” I force my smile and try to comfort him. But he looks at me evenly, his voice is gentle.
“Naaalala mo ba yung sinabi mo saakin nung unang beses na pumunta ako sa bahay ninyo noong nagaaral pa tayo sa middle school?” Bakit iniiba nanaman nito ang topic?
Umiling ako. “Hindi na masyado, basta ang alam ko lang hindi maganda ang araw mo na yon dahil nagaway nanaman kayo ng daddy mo.” sabi ko at tumango ito.
“It’s okay. Because I’ll never forget it.” sabi niya saka siya lumapit at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
“That day when I ran away again and had nowhere else to go, you said― My door is always open for you.” sabi nito saka ngumiti. “You save me that day for the second time, Coleen. So today, I want to say the same to you.” sabi nito saka may kinuha sa bulsa niya na spare key at may kasama pa na keychain na pareho nong para sakaniya.
“My door is always open for you Coleen, mas maganda nga kung dito kanalang.” sabi nito at pinalo ko siya ng mahina.
Tumango ako habang nakatingin sa susi ko. “I will cherish this.” sabi ko saka ngumiti sakaniya.
“Come, there is something more I want to show you.” sabi nito saka niya ako hinila.
Tyler has one more surprise for me. He closes my eyes from behind and then leads me to the another door.
“Pwede ko nabang buksan ang mata ko?” tanong ko.
“Not yet, not yet... Okay, now!” He throws the door open and moves his hands away with a flourish. My mouth falls open. It’s a huge room decorated exactly in my style.
Yung kama din na andon ay katulad sa kama na hinihigaan ko sa apartment, at kahit din yung posters na galing sa favorite show ko ay meron din.
“Is this room...mine?” di makpaniwalang sabi ko at tumango ito.
“That’s right. From now on, this will be your home away from home.” sabi nito at natawa naman ako ng mahina. I can tell that he put a lot of effort into decorating this room, and I’m deeply moved by his efforts.
I have no words. My first and only instict is to pull him closer to hug and crash my lips into his. This kiss is heated, romantic and out of control. By the time I part, we both of us are gasping for breath. Tyler puts his arms around my waist, holding me tight.
“Actually... I have my own selfish reason for this. I want to see you in the morning when I wake up.” nakatingin lang ito ng deretso sa mga mata ko habang seryoso ang kaniyang mukha, dahilan para bumilis nanaman ang kabog ng dibdib ko, at manuyo ang aking lalamunan.
“What do you mean?” tanong ko.
“Pwede ba ako matulog katabi mo ngayon?” sabi niya na kinatawa ko ng mahina.
Natatawa naman akong inalis ang pagkakayakap nito saakin at agad itong tinulak palabas. “Hey!” reklamo nito.
“Not tonight, Tyler. I want to enjoy my first night in my new room without getting it dirty. If you stay here, there’s no way I’ll be able to sleep in peace!” sabi ko saka pinagcross ang mga braso ko.
Napabuga naman ito. “You‘re so unfair, Coleen!” reklamo nito pero hinayaan padin naman niya akong itulak ko siya palabas.
“Good night, Ty-Ty!” sabi ko saka nagflying kiss pa dito na kinatawa niya ng mahina at pumunta na nga siya sa kwarto niya.
．．．．．．．
Nang magising ako ay agad kumunot ang noo ko. Nasaan ako? Oh, right. Andito nga pala ako sa bahay ni Tyler.
