Stay. [on-going]

Chapter 1 - Angelo

Trisha's POV

*After 3 years*

So yeah, it's been 3 years since my parents past away, hanggang ngayon hirap na hirap parin ako. Nawalan ng kulay buhay ko. Good thing Kuya is still here with me. We're staying here in our old house. Binabantayan kami ni Ninang Karla. Pang night shift siya sa trabaho kaya parang wala lang din, pero she's great. Mabait si ninang.

wait, ang alat. Ay di ko napansin umiiyak na pala ako

"Trish, umiiyak ka nanamn. Please tumigil ka na.. may deal na tayo diyan db? Bawal natin isipin o pag-usapan ang mga nangyare dati? teka kukuha lang ako ng tubig ah. Baka hindi ka nanaman makahinga diyan" bumaba na si kuya

Pinunasan ko na luha ko, ayokong magpanic si kuya.

Lumabas muna ako ng bahay para magmuni muni umupo ako sa swing namin sa tapat ng bahay namin. It's been a while narin, tagal ko nang di lumalabas. Napansin ko there's a truck outside. May mga gamit.

"May bagong lipat.."

"Oops, wait Angelo make a wish.." napatingin ako, may itsura siya. Para kasing edad niya si kuya. He's wearing white v-neck t-shirt and black pants and yung buhok niya mahaba, nakababa.

Hindi nalang ako nagsalita. Nakakdpressed kasi lalo. I remembered mama. Di ko nalang siya pinansin. Paki ko ba sakanya. Wait, what did he say? angelo?

"Angelo wait" ginawa niya na yung pilikmata thingy

P-pano niya nalaman yan...

"Make a wish okay?" sinabi niya

Nakatingin lang ako sakanya, feeling close naman kasi.

"Pointy or thumb?"

"...."

"Pointy or thumb?"

ಠ_ಠ

"pumili ka lang. Pointy or thumb?

ಠ_ಠ

ʘ‿ʘ <--HIm

ಠ_ಠ

ʘ‿ʘ

ganun lang ata kami for 5 mins

"thumb" sinabi ko ng mahina, just to get over with it then he began to smirk

"Angelo smile na, your wish will come true"

hinawakan niya balikat ko..

Oh my gosh! This is my 2nd time!! So happy!!

ay wait hindi angelo pangalan ko..

"Hindi Angelo pangalan ko. My name is Tri...."

"Hoy! GAGO KA! LUMAYO KA SA KAPATID KO!!!!" si kuya, over protective nanaman

Ay kaya pala

Napansin ko hawak parin pala niya yung balikat ko.

"No kuya, it's okay. No harm done.." kinuha ko na yung tubig sa kamay niya tapos, tumalikod ako sakanila. I really don't care what will happen sanay nako. Di naman niya yan sasaktan Kuya has really a bad temper but he's really a nice guy.

"Bro chill ako nga pala si Kee-"

"KEEEENO! HALIKA KANA DITO! HELP ME WITH THESE THINGS!" then he disappeared like a ghost

"Kuya, you really have to chill. I know you're just protecting me. Pero wag naman ganun. Oa ka ah"

then he hugged me

"Ano ka ba Trish, sobrang importante ka sakin. Hindi ko hahaya..." "--just don't leave me, and i'll always be okay."

"Oo naman, hinding hindi kita iiwan"

"Promise?"

"Promise" he kissed me on my forehead

"Best kuya ever, mommy and daddy will be proud of you."

Since nung nawala parents ko, kuya has always been there for me. Kaya di ko alam mangyayare kung mawawala pa siya

"Teka sino ba kasi yung ungas nayun?"

"Ah baka bagong lipat, i don't know. I don't go out much. Bahay- school-bahay lang ako db?"

"Oo, taong bahay ka eh"

"Trish mamaya, may party. I know you hate being alone. Pero-"

"Sige na kuya, you go enjoy. As much as i hate being alone, but for you, sige okay lng. Idadaan ko nalang to sa tulog."

then he kissed me on my forehead

"Sige, thanks trish! Go lock the doors okay?"

*9:00 pm*

"Trish, just call me if you need something okay?"

"Sige kuya enjoy!!"

*after 1 hour*

I'm trying hard not to think about the past, but i just cant help it. God. Pinilit kong matulog pero I cant take it. Di ko kayang magising na ako lang mag-isa. ayoko ng ganito..

Oh...

Oh..

This is not good, i can't catch my breath..

Please not now.. pleeaaseee.

*ding-dong*

It's kuya, thank god

Pinilit kong labanan, sobrang nanghihina ako.

I opened the door and automatically hug him

wait hindi ito si kuya, si angelo guy to

"Angelo, are you okay? you look so pale!!" binuhat niya ako papunta sa couch. he held my hand. So warm

"Breathe okay? breathe. Inhale... exhale" habang sinasabi niya yon, his rubbing my hand...

i feel so safe...

Umabot din ata ng 25 mins yung paghhyperventelate ko

then I was finally okay...

"Thanks... " he is still rubbing my hand slowly

"Okay lang, buti nalang pumunta ako dito.."

"Wait, bakit ka nga pala nandito?"

"Ah kasi ibibigay ko lang sana tong grahams na ginawa ng mama ko.." then he smiled

"Ahh, favorite ko yan. Salamat ahh. Uhhm ano ulit pangalan mo?"

Binitawan niya na kamay ko.

"Ako si Keeno Reyes. Your new neighbor."

"Can you stay here for a while Keeno until my Kuya comes back?"

"No problem Angelo.." he winked at me. Grabe he is so attractive. -.-

"ay onga pala Trisha pangalan ko, Hindi Angelo.."

"Okay. But I'll stay with Angelo"
