Waves

Together, again ❤️

I saw Kenneth, laying on the bed, no t-shirt on, and his hair was messy. What have I done? I dropped my bag on the couch and sat on the bed. I touched his face then he started speaking. I guess he was dreaming because his eyes were still closed. He held my hand then started speaking.

"Hmm... Taki, wag mo kong iwan, please..."

Then I heard him sniff.

"Taki..."

"I won't, love... I won't."

He woke up and I saw his suprised expression.

"Taki?"

I smiled at him then he hugged me.

"Wag ka ng aalis. Hinde ko kayang mawala ka."

"Halata naman eh. Tignan mo, may fever ka. Nakatopless kasi tas nakabukas ang aircon, hinde pa nagkukumot. Gusto mo bang mamatay?"

"Hinde naman. Hinde ko lang talaga kinaya."

"Kahit andyan si Paulina?"

"Hmm? Anong pinagsasabi mo?"

"Nahuli ka ni kuya na kasama sya."

"Ayy... pinakilala nya lang ung jowa nya tas ung mga kaibigan namin noon, nandito sa Maynila."

"Sure kang walang nangyare?"

He raised his right arm.

"Wala, promise. Tsaka, sa tingin mo ba lolokohin ko ung babaeng pinakamamahal ko?"

"Hmm... Talaga?"

"Oo! Sobra! Gusto mo isigaw ko pa dyan sa balcony mo?"

"Try me."

"Sige, you asked for it."

He stood up and opened the doors to the balcony.

"Huy! Joke lang un! Kenneth--"

"I love you, Takako Mary Sakaito!"

"--Bwiset ka, Kenneth Earl Medrano!"

Then we both laughed. He hugged me again and kissed my forehead.

"Basta, hinde ko na hahayaang iwanan mo ko."

"Hmm, talaga?"

He nodded.

"Sige na nga! Balik na tyo sa loob. Baka mapagkamalan tyong mga adik."

"San ka nga ba galing?"

"Bumalik ako kina mom."

"Huh? Akala ko ayaw mo na bumalik dun."

"Eh ikaw eh..."

Kenneth hugged me once again and pulled away.

"May pupuntahan tyo. Magdamit ka."

He went to the CR and quickly changed, leaving me at awe, don't know what to do but follow him. I sighed and went to my closet. I picked my casual clothes and wore it. After a few minutes, he came out and took my hand. We went inside the elevator and it took us to the main floor.

"Kenneth, what are you doing?"

He put his hand in my mouth, signaling for me to be quiet. He looked back at the door, and continued to pull me. He pushed me inside my car and went to the driver's seat. He told me to be quiet and I did. For the whole ride though...
