Safe

ILANG araw na ang nakalipas nang huli kaming makita ni Zayden. Busy din kasi ito dahil malapit na ang midterms nila ilang araw nalang kaya hindi ko muna ito ginugulo. Nag rereview narin ako nalaman ko kasing running for valedictorian. When it comes to academic confident naman akong active rin ako diyan.

Tulala lang ako habang natingin sa harapan, nag didiscuss ngayon si Ms.Lopez for our midterm examinations. May tumamang kung ano sa mukha ko kaya napalingon ako kung saan iyo nanggaling. It's from Irish.

"Bakit?" I mouted.

She just shrugged tinampal ko naman ito at sinamaan ng tingin.

Natapos ang buong araw at heto ako ngayon natayo sa harap ng gate. Makulimlim ang kalangitan ngayon at tila nagbabadya na naman bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Malapit na matapos ang september kaya kasagsagan din ang ulan, I felt rain drops on my arms.

"Shit" I hurriedly run unto the waiting shed near me.

Palakas nang palakas ang patak ng ulan mabuti ay nakasilong agad ako, may ilan ilan ding sumilong pero agad rin namang umalis nang malabas ang kanya kanya nilang payong.

Ilang minuto pa ang nakalipas pero wala parin sumusundo sa'kin sobrang lakas narin ng ulan. I felt a strong breeze because of the heavy rain, my body is also shivering from the colds.

Nanginginig kong kinapa ang phone ko saking bulsa as soon as I get my phone I dialed my moms number but to my dismay there's no signal. Halo halo na ang nararamdaman ko ngayon dahil sa kaba at takot dahil malapit ng dumilim.

Luckily I heared my phone rang I immediately answer it.

"Where the hell are you renee?" rinig kong galit na singhal nito sa kabilang linya.

A loud thunder echoed mas lalo pa akong nanginig dahil doon, "M-mommy" nanginginig kong bulong.

"Calm down renee, okay now please tell me where exactly you are hmm baby?"

Even my mind still occupied of the loud thunder I stiffened hearing how she called me baby.

"Waiting she-"

"Wait me there, don't go anywhere" she ended the call after that.

Namamanhid na ang buong katawan ko sa lamig at takot, basang basa narin ako at hindi narin maganda ang pakiramdam ko ngayon anytime soon feeling ko mag papass out na ako.

Ilang minuto pa ay may naramdaman akong taong paparating.

"Oh gosh, i'm so sorry ngayon lang. Don't worry baby i'm here you're safer now" I felt relieved when she hugged me tightly.

I start to sob on her arms halo halo ang nararamdaman ko ngayon at hindi ko alam anong dapat maramdaman.

"Shh tahan na, andito na ako" malambing nitong pag alo sa'kin I felt her lips landed on my forehead, she's kissing me there.

"Thank you for coming" I can managed to say before passing out.

"YES tita she's here on our house, yes she's safe na po don't worry... Opo I will, she's sleeping right now."

Napamulat ako dahil sa nararamdang sakit ng ulo at lamig.

"Hmm" hindi ko magawang maglabas ng salita dahil sobrang tuyo ng aking lalamunan.

Nakita ko naman itong napatingin sa'kin. Nagaalalang nilapitan ako nito nang makitang babangon sana ako.

"Hey don't force yourself, you're burning hot"

Sinunod ko naman ito, lampshade lang ang tanging ilaw na meron kami. Kaya hindi ko makita kung nasaan ako pero base sa amoy nito ay alam ko na. Napatitig ako sakanyang mukha, I put my hands on her right cheeks caressing it gently nanlambot naman ang expression nito.

"Thank you" I sincerly said.

"I will always come to you whenever you need me" seryosong sabi nito sa'kin.

Napangiti naman ako dahil sa sinabi nito, "really?" tanong ko.

"Hmm just hit me up, i'll be there second than you thought" she's smilling genuinely again and I kinda love it, my heart's melting seeing her smile at me like that.

Napapikit ako nang maramdamang dumampi na naman ang labi niya sa noo ko, I smiled gently because of that. She's being too sweet lately.

"Sleep now, you need to rest hmm" malambing nitong sabi.

Tumango naman ako.

"Rest with me then, I know you're tired too"

Nakatitig lang kami sa isat isa, dinadama ang tahimik na palagid kahit naririnig ang lagaslas ng ulan sa labas. Sobrang lamig lang kanina ng pakiramdam ko pero tila napalitan ito ngayon. The way she stare at me intently makes me feel hot. The second I know we're now both kissing hungerly, she's on top of me not giving her full weight. I snake my hands around her neck to deepend the kiss.

"Hmm" I moaned when she nibble my bottom lips.

I suddenly buffed her hair when I felt her hands roaming around my body, tracing every inch of it. The heat between us tells everything. Nang kapusin kaming dalawa ng hininga ay hinihingal kaming naghiwalay parehong mapupungay ang mga matang nakatitig sa isat isa. She rested her forehead on mine while her right hand supporting her weight.

"I'm so mad and scared earlier when you're mom called telling that you're nowhere to be found" nahihimigan ko ang takot at pagkaseryoso sa boses nito habang kagat kagat ang ibabang labi.

I put my both hands on her cheeks while caressing it.

"I'm so sorry you felt that way, pauwi na rin naman ako kanina kaso biglang umulan nawalan pa ng signal kaya hindi ko ma contact sa bahay" naluluhang sabi ko dahil unti unti na namang nanunumbalik ang alaala ko dahil kanina.

I felt her tumb wiping the tears run through my cheeks.

"Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kanina, knowing that you're nowhere to be found. What if something bad happens to you?" gusto kong matawa dahil sa halo halong expresyong nakikita ko sa maganda nitong mukha.

"Why are you smiling? Are you making fun of me?" irita nitong tanong kakalas na sana ito sa pagkakayakap ko sakanya pero pinigilan ko ito at nakangiting tinignan.

"No baby, I just find you cute and hot at the same time whenever you're like this damn" I trace her face, I felt how she stiffen by my actions.

Seryosong seryoso itong nakatitig saakin habang ako ay ngiting ngiti lang sakaniya unti unti din namang lumambot ang expression nito. I know that she's just stoping her self to smile hinayaan ko nalang ito.

"Let's sleep na, hmm" nakangiti kong aya dito kasi kita ko narin sa mga mata nito ang pagod at antok.

She nod as I guided her besides me, she fix my comforter but I refuse.

"I prefer your hugs than that" inosenteng sabi ko.

With that her smile shows, nasabi ko na bang she has this deep dimples in her lower corner lips i find it so sexy whenever she smile like that.

"Okay, good night" she kissed me on my forehead before hugging me.

"Good night"

Darkness has engulfed me.
