CHAPTER 12 : HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED
Pagkatapos niyang kumatok ng ilang beses, pinag buksan naman siya ni Teejay ng kwarto nito. Her eyes are swelling. Niyakap niya ito bigla. Tumugon naman ito ng yakap din. Medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam niya, he might not love her now, but still, he doesn’t want her to go away. Saka niya naalala na namamaga ang mga mata ng Fiancee niya.
“Why? Bakit namamaga yang mata mo?” he asked while cupping her cheeks with her hands.
Pinakita nito ang tuhod. “Nadapa ako kanina eh.” She said while looking at him. “Help me clean it, please.” Sabi pa nito with pleading eyes.
“Sandali lang. hintayin mo lang ako at kukunin ko yung emergency kit natin ah.”
She nodded.
Dali dali siyang bumaba para kunin ang kit at bumalik din agad siya. Naka-upo na ito sa gilid ng sariling kama habang hinihintay siya. Naglabas siya ng bulak, ng betadine saka sinimulang linisan.
“Hindi ka kasi nag-iingat eh.” Pangaral niya
”aray! Dahan-dahan, Josh” she said in a cute way.
He looked at her, she pouted her lips, and he smiled. Tinakpan niya ng gauze at nilagyan ng micropore ang sugat ni Teejay, pagkatapos nuon ay tiningala niya si Teejay. “Be careful next time, OK?” Yumuko siya saka niya hinalikan ang gilid ng tuhod nito na nasugatan.
“Let’s pick your dress tomorrow. I want to pick a dress for you so bad. OK?” saka niya niyakap ang binti ni Teejay. He wants something. He wants something so bad pero hindi niya alam kung ano yun.
Teejay smiled at him saka ito tumango.
He stood up, cupped her cheeks and kissed her in the lips. She replied. He opened Teejay lips with his and licked it. She is really addicting. Ilang sandali pa ay inilayo nito ang bibig at sinabing… “Josh, I want to sleep now so that I can wake up early. Para maaga tayong maka-alis bukas.”
“A little bit more.” He again kissed her at hindi tumanggi si Teejay. After that, niyakap niya ito ng mahigpit na mahigpit. He wants her beside him, pero hindi niya alam kung mahal niya si Teejay. At iyon ang ikinaiinis niya sa sarili. He wants her but not enough to love her.
“Josh?”
“Yes, I will leave now. Take a good sleep, OK” he doesn’t want to let go until he realize that he loves her, pero kailangan niyang bumitaw.
Maaga siyang nagising. Hindi niya alam kung bakit, pero pinili niyang bumangon at nagpatulong kay aling Tasya na magluto para ipaghain si Teejay. He wants to bring her breakfast in bed. Simpleng umagahan lang ang nailuto niya. Hotdog, ham, egg. Sabay nalang sila ni Teejay kakain sa kwarto nito.
He opened the door and saw Teejay sleeping. Inilapag niya ang pagkain sa desk nito at dahan-dahang tumabi kay Teejay. Pinagmasdan niya ito habang natutulog at napangiti na lang siya, she seems tame.
“I wish that you belong to me from the very start, at hindi kay kuya. Maybe, if that’s the thing that happened, sigurado akong ikaw ang mamahalin ko.” He kissed her in the forehead at bumalik sa pagkakahiga sa tabi nito.
Ilang sandali niya pa itong pinanuod habang natutulog then he caressed her cheek. “Wake up now sleepy head.”
Narinig niya itong umungol at unti-unting binuksan ang mga mata. “Goodmorning, beautiful.” He said and smiled. She smiled in return. “I prepared breakfast. Let’s eat together.”
Nag-inat muna si Teejay saka ito tumayo.
“So, where will you want to go first?” he asked.
“Kahit saan.” Maikli nitong sagot habang ngumunguya.
