Maagang nagising si Rain, alam niya, mugtong mugto na naman ang mga mata niya...
She decided to take a shower, bago pa man mahalata nang Lolo't Lola niya na umiyak na naman siya...
Palabas na siya ng kwarto nang marinig niyang may nagtatawanan sa living room nila...
" I really love that story Grams about Rain with the chicken having a heart attack", sabi ng isang di pamilyar na boses para kay Rain.
"Her version is so much better, Niko. You should hear it from her", tumatawa ding sagot ng Lola niya.
Si Niko, nandito? Kahit kinakabahan na hindi niya maintindihan lumabas na rin ng kuwarto si Rain.
"Morning" pagbati niya sa mga ito..
"Morning darling", bati ng Lola niya.
"Morning Beautiful", bati naman ni Niko sa kanya..
And she felt her cheeks warm up with his complement...
"Niko's here to take us out for morning coffee", anunsyo ng Lola niya.
"La, lagi ba siyang pumupunta dito", biglang tanong ni Rain.
"Every morning, dumadaan siya dito to accompany me and your pops with our morning walks", sagot naman ng Lola niya. "And, I can see that you've showered and dressed for it. So, kindly keep Niko here company and I have to shower and change also.
Nang nakaalis ang Lola niya, pareho silang tumahimik.. There was an awkward silence...
"How long will you be staying?", biglang tanong ni Niko.
"I'm not certain, guess you heard from Grams that I'm being deported huh", may pagkasarkastikong sagot ni Rain.
"She didn't tell me anything. But, I really hope you'll enjoy your stay".
At parang biglang naumid ang dila ni Rain, the guy is being nice and she's being a total pain...
"Thank you for taking care of my Lolo and Lola. And for saving my Lola, we owe you", pag-iiba ng usapan ni Rain...
"They are a nice couple and i didn't get to meet my old folks, they died early', at lumatay ang lungkot sa mukha ni Niko..
"I'm so sorry to hear that Niko",
"It's alright, I really hope you don't mind that I am spending time with them",.
"No, of course not. I am actually thankful that someone's taking care of them while we are not around. My aunts and uncles are all busy with work. And If I can repay you in anyway, I would..", sabi ni Rain nang nakangiti.
And besides, ipagkakait ko pa bang ma-experience mo din kung gaano kasarap magkaroon ng Lolo't Lola, dagdag ni Rain sa sarili niya...
"How about dinner?", he replied smiling..
"Huh, what?"
"You want to thank me right, have dinner with me"
'"Okae, when?", sagot ni Rain. Dinner lang naman eh, sabi niya sa sarili niya.
"I was hoping for tonight, but Grams said you'll be having dinner at your uncle's place. So how, about tomorrow night", sagot agad nito.
"Tomorrow, night's fine.. Where will we meet?, dagdag tanong ni Rain.
"Oh, I'll pick you up. we'll use my car. I asked your Grandpa already, he said yes", may pagmamalaki sa boses ni Niko.
"Did he?", nagdududang sagot ni Rain.
Ni ayaw nga siyang payagan lumabas mag-isa ng Lolo niya, pero ngayon, okae lang na makipagdinner siya sa lalaking, kahapon lang niya nakilala. We'll they're acquainted with him..
"So, it's a date", Niko replied teasing...
"It's not a date, it's a Thank You Dinner", Rain corrected him..
Niko just smiled...
And finally, lumabas na din ang Lolo't Lola niya. Nakahinga na rin nang maluwag si Rain, para siyang masusuffocate sa presence ni Niko..
"Why is he so nice? and so Charming", tanong niya sa sarili niya, sabay buntong hininga...
Bakit nga ba?
NIKO's POV:
You don't need to love me back, Rain...
I know someone else's in your heart...
And I don't have enough time to show you how much..
But let me.. let me in my little ways love you with my remaining days...
