We stayed in the Alvarez mausoleum for almost 30 minutes too. Pagkatapos ay kumain kami sa isang restaurant kung saan nakasalubong namin si Gab. Hinatid ko na din sina Mama sa bahay pagkatapos. Wala kaming imikan ni Nate hanggang sa makarating kami sa condo ko ng bandang hapon.
Tiring day it is.
Sa kabilang building lang naman condo ni Nate kaya bahala na siya. Umakyat ako sa condo unit at nagpahinga kahit saglit. I looked at the clock and it's already quarter to 4pm.
My eyes started to drop but someone rang the doorbell.
I grunted as i got up from the sofa. Lalo lang akong nainis ng makita ko si Nate. He was wearing a tuxedo, maayos ang buhok at parang may pupuntahan. May hawak siyang box ng kung ano at malaki iyon.
What the hell!
"Love–"
Bago ko pa siya patapusin ay isinara ko na ulit ang pinto.
"Love your face!" inis na saad ko.
He still has the guts to call me love after what he did earlier?!
He knocked on my door continously that made me irritated. Binuksan ko tuloy agad ang pinto ko. "What the hell do you want?!"
He just smiled at me. "Hey, don't be grumpy. Take a bath and wear this please?" he said and gave me the two boxes and a paper bag.
"After this we will talk?" I asked.
"Yeah. We will." he answered.
I sighed deeply. Naligo ako at nagbihis ng ibinigay niyang dress. It was a lavender dress with carousel sleeves. It was beautiful and long. The other box contained gucci white stiletto heels. The paper bag contains a small gucci quilted white shoulder bag. It's a perfect match for the lavender dress I am wearing. I brush my long dark brown hair, and put some baby powder on my face and sprayed some cologne. I never put any makeup on my face because it made me feel uncomfortable.
Paglabas ko ay naghihintay sakin si Nate sa may sofa.
"My doktora..." bati niya sakin at hinalikan ako.
My Architect.
I was always responding to his kisses but now I don't. He immediately cutted the kiss and hugged me tight.
"I love you... please hug me back... this is going to be our last hug." he whispered, which made me confused.
The f! Is he breaking up with me?! The hell! The hell! The hell! After almost eight years?! Will he break up with me?!
I badly wanted to push him away but I let him hug me.
Pagkatapos ng yakap na iyon ay bumaba na kami. Todo alalay pa si ugok kaya hindi ako nagsasalita. Well, to be honest, I never spoke the entire time. Puro tango lang ang ginagawa ko. Hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang lugar. It was kind of familiar.
He stopped the car on the side of the road. "Why?" I asked him.
He get a handkerchief from his pocket and folds it to become a blindfold. "I'll blindfold you." he said and put the blindfold on me.
Blindfold? For what? Makikipaghiwalay na nga lang kailangan may blindfold pa?
Sinakyan ko na lang ang trip niya kahit na sobrang sama na ng loob ko. Ilang sandali pa ay naramdaman kong huminto na ang kotse kasabay ng pagsara ng isang pinto. Dinig ko din ang pagbukas ng pinto sa gilid ko at ramdam ko ang pagaalay ni Nate sakin palabas.
A cold wind and tree noises welcomed me.
"Nate? Nasan ka?" kinakabahang tanong ko ng maramdamang wala nang nagaalalay sakin.
