My Book and I

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

" Hmm --- t-t-teka.... 'asan ako?! ", napabalikwas ako sa aking pagkakahiga sa isang napakalambot na kama. Geez! hindi ito ang aking kwarto. K-k-Kwarto?! Napatingin ako bigla sa aking suot at sobra akong nagulat. Napatayo ako nang tuluyan at sobrang nagtaka. Bakit naka-pajamas na ako e nakauniporme ang huling suot ko. Paano ako napunta sa lugar na ito?! Nasa'n ba talaga ako?! Bakit?! Paano?! Sino?!

Sobra akong naguguluhan ngayon. Inilibot ko ang aking mga mata sa loob ng kwarto. Black and white ang kulay nito at halatang malinis at alaga ng kung kanino man ito. Walang kahit anong picture sa paligid. Isang simple pero mamahalin at matibay na kama na kulay puti. May walk-in closet rin na may puti at itim ang kulay. Study table na may computer set at ilang libro sa shelf. May mini living room rin na may laptop at ipad na naka-kalat lang.

Kung masamang tao lang ako ay nilimas ko na lahat ng gamit rito sa kwartong 'to pero hindi e ... hindi ako magnanakaw.

I just took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.

Oh my! 0_0 I absolutely gasped for breath and hold my chest. Oh men!

It's Prince!

" what are you doing here?! ", yun lang ang nasabi ko. Oh men, bakit ngayon lang ako nabobo nang ganito. Geez! baka sa kanya 'to?! Haha ...

He just gave me a 'huh' look then walked inside his room. Nakatulala lang akong pinagmamasdan siya. Geez! ano naman ang sasabihin ko sa lalaking ito?! Tsaka, seems that there's an awkwardness between us or ako lang talaga ang nag-iisip nun. Oh men! What should I do?!

Yeah, kinakabahan ako at hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. Naka-upo na siya ngayon sa kanyang mini living room and start up his laptop. Well, I really don't know what to say. Nakatayo lang ako sa likod ng pintuan and looking at him.

" Is there any word like thank you?! ", he said. Nagulat ako nang magsalita siya. How I missed that voice.

Naglakad ako patungo sa kinaroroonan niya. I stopped in front of him but he didn't mind me because he just looking at his laptop. Well, I don't have a choice but to do the right thing.

I took a deep breath, " u-Uhm --- thank y-you.. ? ", I said nervously. By just looking at him I noticed that he chuckled and glanced at me. Oh men! I missed his eyes.

" You're not sure ? ", he asked.

" Uhm --- yeah, thank you. ", I answered him and he stared at me so I just looked at his laptop instead of him. Nahihiya ako e tsaka kinakabahan talaga ako na hindi ko maipaliwanag. At eto pa, suot ko pa ang damit niya. Oh men!

He smirked then stood up in front of me. He looked at me directly pero umiwas ako.

" You look good on my clothes ". Geez! Yun lang ba ang sasabihin niya. Hindi niya ba alam na naaapektuhan ako sa mga sinasabi niya. This is really me, Ally.

Napayuko nalang ako. Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin na nahihiya ako.

In a minute, narinig ko nalang ang kanyang tawa so I looked at him. He's laughing for I don't know reason. Hmm ... I'm clueless!

" Haha you're blushing! ", he said. Kaagad akong napahawak sa aking pisngi. No! Not in front of him.

" Hey! No need to be shy ... this is just me, Prince ", he said. Lumapit rin siya sakin at hinawakan ang aking baba to look at him. I wanted to ignore him and not to look at him but I just can't because his eyes are like magnet. I can't control it to look away, he magnetized me.

We stared at each other. Both of us don't want to let go for any seconds. I feel like I can give up everything what I can see, just his eyes and him be with me. I ----

" Ehem! "

Someone's cleared throat so I back to my senses and looked at the door. I was shocked at hindi ko na naisip na hindi pala ito ang bahay namin dahil nadala ako sa titig ng lalaking 'to. Napa-bitaw rin ako sa gulat. Gosh! Bakit ba nawawala ako sa sarili kapag nasa tabi ko si Prince! What am I doing?!

I looked at the woman in the door. She's like on a thirties age and she's so pretty. Maputi siya at parang mataray.

" Mom, what are you doing here?! ", Prince said. I looked at him and his mom. Wow, I just can't believe that this person is Prince Mom.

Natawa lang ng mapakla ang Mom niya and looked at me from head to toe. Oh men! She's not good, she's scanning me.

" How are you? ", she asked me. Naglakad rin siya papunta sa kinaroroonan ko. She smiled at me sweetly.

" Uhm --- I'm fine po, t-thank you po for letting me inside your house ", I said nervously. She just smile at me and looked at Prince who's sitting in his sofa.ust nodded while doing something in his laptop.

" Ok so I think, it's settled ... ", she said and took a deep breath before looking at me , " Let's go downstairs sweetheart ", she told me. Nauna siyang naglakad sakin at ako naman ay hindi pa absorb ang kanyang sinabi. Bakit ganoon siya magsalita? Is she really knows me? Geez!

Well, as if I have a choice ... syempre ay sumunod na ako sa kanya at iniwan sa kwarto si Prince.

Siguro nga, eto na ang oras na masasagot na ang lahat ng katanungan ko.
