ThirtyOne-The Architect

Chapter Thirty One

"Kain ka lang ng kain ha?" nakangiting sabi ni Mommy saka inabutan pa ko ng pagkain. tinaas ko yung kamay ko saka ngumuso

"Mommy naman. last meal ko na ba to?" natatawang sabi ko. napangiti lang sa saka nilapag yung hawak nyang pagkain.

"feeling ko kasi ang payat payat mo."

"Ma. i'm slim." i reminded and took a slice of sanzrival.

"Yeah. you are. sometimes i feel like a little air can blow you away."

natawa nalang ako. sometimes Mommy can be so oa.

"anak can you go and check on Vincent." tumango ako saka umakyat sa taas.

palapit na sana ako sa kwarto ni Vincent nung makita ko yung pinto ng kwarto ko.

binuksan ko yung pinto ng kwarto ko. ganun pa rin yung itsura niya simula nung iniwan ko. na para bang kahapon lang ako umalis.

dahan dahan akong pumasok saka tinignan yung mga gamit. lahat ng bagay bumalik sa dati pati yung mga nabasag na gamit. malamang naghanap si Mommy ng kapareho ng mga gamit ko.

pero ang nakaagaw sa pansin ko eh yung isang frame dun.

its Steven and i on our first date. the one under the stars.

we look so happy. his arms around my neck.

tinaob ko yung frame saka lumabas sa kwartong yon.

kumatok ako sa kwarto ni Vincent saka pumasok.

nakaupo lang sya sa kama nya saka may hawak na picture. tumabi ako sa kanya saka inakbayan sya.

"Kamusta yung baby ko?" nakangiting tanong ko sa kanya.

"Ate. i'm not a baby anymore." he whispered softly. he look bothered.

"kwentuhan mo naman si Ate." nakangiting sabi ko saka nginuso yung picture. "sino sya?" i asked.

"you know her." he whispered softly. napangiti ako. kilala ko nga yung babae sa picture.

"crush mo sya?"

"No, i think i love her." napaupo ako ng tuwid saka tumingin sa kanya.

"isnt it a bit early for you to be saying that?"

"No, i know what i feel. and i'm telling you Ate. i really love her." tumingin sya sakin. i sighed and wrapped my arms around him again

"Love, Vincent is a big thing. you cant say you love someone just because she makes you happy."

"did you Love Kuya Steven because he makes you happy?"

"No. i love Steven because thats what heart tells me to do. but still. youre too young to say you love her."

"Too young? i dont think so. coz i've been feeling this way the moment i laid my eyes on her."

sasagot sana ako nung may kumatok sa pinto nya. sumungaw yung ulo ni Adam.

"Baby, can i talk to you?" he asked.

"Sige. susunod na ko." sabi ko saka tinignan si Vincent. "Love is sweet and painful at the same time. it can make you feel murdeous and suicidal. Love is a big thing, Babylove. its like a responsibility you cant get rid of."

"i know. kaya nga lahat ng may crush sa kanya. pinagbabantaan ko eh. i want her mine alone." i chuckled softly with what he said.

"five years from now lets talk again. lets see if you still feel the same. if yes then its true love." i smiled and kissed his cheeks. "i'll just go and talk to Adam."
