CHAPTER 26 TSYO

*Kath's POV*

"Nova."

"Piattos."

"Nova nga!"

"Piattos!"

"Nova!"

"Pag hindi piattos nanalo, sisante ka na."

I whacked him upside the head and he chuckled.  "Ang daya daya daya mo! Hindi mo lang matanggap na kakain ng abo yang piattos mo laban sa nova ko, okay?"

"Bahala ka. Walang kwenta ang nova. Piattos para sa mga gwapo."  he smirked. Natawa lang ako and I whacked him with my teddy bear.

Nakaupo kami ngayon ni Sir Daniel sa hood ng convertible niya. Nung una ayokong ayoko talaga dahil pag nagasgasan ko to, mas mahal pa sa buhay ko. Pero sa pagkademanding at stubborn ng boss ko, asa ka pang makakahindi ka diba?

Tumutungga kami ng coke-in-can at kumakain ng piattos at nova. Currently, we're having a Nova vs Piattos debate.

"Para pala sa mga gwapo yan ehh di bawal yan sayo?"  I teased him. His head snapped in my direction and I laughed loudly. Binato ko siya bigla ng ilang piraso ng nova. His eyes widened.

"Sinabihan mo na ko indirectly ng pangit, binato mo pa ko ng Nova?" He asked menacingly. Napausog ako sa side ko ng convertible at tumawa siya. Isang iglap na lang, he was hovering above me at kinikiliti ako.

Tawa ako ng tawa. Hindi niya ko binibitawan and I felt tears on my eyes sa kakatawa. Bigla bigla na lang may bumusina samin ng napakalakas at nahulog siya sa ibabaw ko.

Our eyes met. His eyes were the same shade of brown that gave me warmth, that reassured me that everything was fine. He was my saving grace, my escape.

Papalapit na siya ng papalapit, I slowly closed my eyes. Sa pagkakataong ito, wala akong nararamdamang takot o kaba, just pure bliss.

The minute his lips touched mine, I knew. One hundred and ten percent na kong sigurado na mahal ko siya. My arms automatically reached for his neck and I pulled him closer, impossibly closer.

We broke apart and we stared into each other's eyes. He smiled at me.

"I 'm inlove with you, Kathryn."

Halos hindi ako makahinga.T-tama ba yung narinig ko? Mahal niya ko?  My eyes widened with his revelation and he chuckled.

"Kathryn, pwede magsalita ka naman? Medyo napapahiya na ko dito."  he said as he scratched his neck.

"U-uhm..."  I trailed off, halos hindi ako makapagsalita. Umalis siya agad sa hood and he stood up, facing me.

"Hindi sana yun yung sagot na hinahanap ko. Pero Kathryn I want you to know that I'm not rushing you. Gustong gusto lang talagang sabihin sayo na-"

I cut him off. Nagulat siya when I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him fiercely. Napataas ang kamay niya but he quickly recovered and hugged me back.

We finally broke apart at isinandal ko ang noo ko sa noo niya. I smiled up at him.

"Dami mo pang sinasabi. Mahal din kaya kita, loko ka."  I told him and he smiled widely, akala ko malalaglag na mga mukha namin sa sahig sa kakangiti.

He kissed me again and I smiled.

Halos hingal na hingal na ko and I couldn't breathe but I didn't care. All I cared about was this moment, that we were here..

And I couldn't ask for anything more.
