When Will It Be My Turn?

chapter 24

Azari's POV

It's been a month now and honestly there's no changes still. I thought it would only take a few weeks for her to be back again but I guess I'm wrong. Ever since we left the hospital, nothing changed. She remained quiet.

I guess her eating already is the only thing that changed.

It's been 3 weeks since I stopped going into the company, I decided na iuwi ang mga trabaho ko dito sa bahay nang mas mabantayan ko siya.

The first week na lagi akong pumupunta ng trabaho was a disaster, I always find myself worried and scared na baka may gawin siya at napipilitan ako umalis ng maaga sa office at samahan siya buong araw sa bahay. I'm scared that she might do it again and I'm afraid na baka this time maging too late na 'ko.

So I decided not to risk it and bring all my works here in our house, in that case I can take care of her and do all my responsibilities at my job.

Isabel and her brother always visits here every now and then, we all made an agreement na dito si Celine sa'kin pero hahayaan ko sila dumalaw anytime they want. At first, I didn't like the thought of it, especially the thought of letting my business competitor enter my house. But then, me and Isabel led to an agreement of ours that we will remain professional in our works but in those times she visits, no works related will get into us. Which technically means, everything will be casual between us everytime it's outside the work.

It was hard at first but I got used to it, in fact the atmosphere between us is getting comfortable already.

I heard a loud thud in Celine's room making me jump up and run towards her room and when I got there, I saw her with her hands on her back clasping her bra.

fuck.

I gulped seeing her with just her undies. I immediately turned around, and felt my cheeks getting hot as the image of her replayed in my mind.

"I'm sorry" I mumbled that I guess she heard because she responded.

SHE RESPONDED!

"It's okay." She said softly.

I was shocked when I heard her voice. I almost forgot what she sounds like. I immediately turned around, not caring about anything. I just wanna make sure if she's really the one who said it.

"What did you say?" I asked, still shocked about what I heard. She turned to look at me and smiled a little.

"I said it's fine, Azari."

I was stunned, not only did she spoke but she also smiled a little. Her eyes, there's an emotion on it again.

"Fuck." Was the only thing that left my mouth as I made my way towards her and hugged her. I couldn't care less about what she's wearing right now or how I look right now. I just, I just found myself so happy and glad.

"fuck, you're back." I held her tight, afraid to let go and so afraid to wake up and learn that this is just a dream. I don't think a good dream like this exist.

"I can't breathe, you're hugging me too tightly." She slapped my shoulders and pushed me a little.

I looked at her straight in eye, pinching myself at the process, trying to check if this is real or no. But when I realized it isn't I was just too glad I can't even hide it.

I didn't realize I was crying when she wiped my tears off my cheeks.

"Why are you crying?" She asked confusedly.

"I'm just really glad you're back." I said chuckling a little as I wiped my own tears, giving some space between us. she might find me a little too close for her liking. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable.
