Chapter 11
ANG SINAG NG ARAW na tumama sa mukha ko ang nagpagising sa'kin.
Mahina akong umungol at unti-unting nag inat at kinapa ang katabi ko. Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko ng ang unan nalang niya ang nakapa ko.
"Saan na 'yon..." I whispered before getting up from the bed.
Mabili kong tinungo ang banyo at inayos ang sarili doon.
I stopped drinking when I heard the door opened. Nakaupo ako ngayon sa kama habang iniinom ang gatas na nakita kong nakalapag sa bedside table ko pagkalabas ko ng banyo.
The door revealed Hunter weating only a sweatpants and topless. I immediately avoided my gaze at his well-toned muscles and ripped abs. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naglalaway ang bagang ko dahil sa nakita ko.
Lumapit siya sa'kin at inangat ang ulo ko. He them gave me a peck on the lips before saying, "Goodmorning."
I didn't answered him at ibinaba lang ang mga tingin ko but my eyes landed on his abs. I noticed that he's sweaty all over.
I felt his hand land on my hand at kinuha roon ang basong inunuman ko ng gatas bago inilagay sa bedside table.
"Let's go, the food is waiting for you downstairs."
He offered me his hand na kahit nanginginig ako ay kinuha ko. I still feel awkward even though he said his feelings for me yesterday.
We went downstairs, at kahit pababa pa lang kami, I can smell the pancakes already.
I held his arms and looked at him kaya napatingin siya sa'kin. "You cooked for me?"
He grinned. "Of course, for you..."
When we reached the dining area, he made me sit and put the cooked foods infront of me.
"Hindi ka na dapat mag palipas pa ng oras sa pagkain, Cassandra. Our baby also need some nutrients from you. 'Wag na 'wag mo ng gawin na kumain ng late kagaya ng ginagawa ko dati. Do you understand?"
Tumango lang ako at kumain na. After we ate, naligo na ako at nagbihis ng simpleng maternity dress para komportable ako. Hunter's going to take me out today, what a miracle.
We both went outside his house at pinasakay niya ako sa mustang niya. He then went to the driver's seat and pinaandar na ang sasakyan.
"Where do you wanna go?" He asked habang nagdadrive na.
I noticed that the place we're staying is secluded from the outside. And we just passed by a big sign saying that this place is a private property.
"Kahit saan..."
Hindi na siya muli pang nagsalita at bumuntong hininga na lang. I think, he can sense that I don't really feel like talking right now.
Minutes had passed at hindi ko namalayang nakatulog na pala ako dahil sa pagod. Nagising na lang qk9 ng maramdaman kong may yumu-yugyug sa balikat ko. "Wake up, Sandra." His baritone voice filled my ears as I slowly opened my eyes.
I yawned at tiningnan akung nasaan na kami. Fear slowly crept into me.
"W-what are we doing here?" Pinilit kong hindi ipahalata ang takot sa boses ko.
Nang tingnan ko siya ang ngumiti lang ito ng matamis at tinanggal na ang seatbelt bago bumaba at pumunta sa puwesto ko at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto.
Nang makababa na ako, hindi ko mapigilang maramdaman ang panginginig ng mga paa ko. I hope he's not here right now...
"Come," inilahad niya ang kamay niya sa'kin.
With trembling hands I accepted his at sabay kaming pumasok sa loob ng pinagdalhan niya sa'kin.
"Welcome to Ric's Ice Cream Parlor, Ma'am, Sir!" The guard greeted us with his wide smile.
I returned his smiles at sumabay na sa paglalakad ni Hunt papunta sa mesa namin na pina reserve niya pa. And I don't know if this is a coincidence pero dito rin kami palaging umu-upo ni RD.
Lumapit na samin ang isang waiter at inilahad samin ang dalawang menu nila. Tinanggap ko naman ito at ngumiti sa waiter.
"What do you want?" Hunter asked.
Binitawan ko ang menu at tiningnan siya. "Ikaw na ang bahalang pumili."
Tinanguan niya ako at sinabi na ang mga order sa waiter.
Hindi na ako nakinig sa mga inorder niya because I trust his tastes. Nagfocus lang ang mata ko a pinyuan ng ice cream parlor ng bumukas ito. Two persons entered it. My eyes widened with shock and my mouth gasp that I nearly uttered a curse.
Doon ko lang napansin na nakatingin na sa'kin si Hunt. His eyes were dark.
"Who are you looking at?" I can sense the annoyance towards his voice.
Umiling ako at pinilit na ngumiti. "N-nothing,"
Tumango lang siya pero nanatili ang mga madidilim na tingin sa'kin. Pasimple naman akong luminga at tiningnan kung nasaan sila. RD's with A guy that I don't recognized.
I heaved a sigh when I saw that RD's seat is not facing mine.
Our order came and we keep ourselves busy with the ice creams. After almost half an hour, handa na kaming umalis sa ice cream parlor and with one last glance, tiningnan ko ang anak ko. And I don't know if namamalikmata lang ako pero nakita ko siyang nakatingin sa'kin ng seryoso.
While on the road, Hunt never spoked any word after naming matapos kumain. He was just dead serious all over at walang kahit anong emosyon ang makikita sa mata niya.
After we arrived to his house, he dragged me upstairs to our room and locked it.
"Hunt!" My mouth parted.
No emotions can be seen from his face as he asked me,
"May hindi ka ba sinasabi sa'kin, Cassandra?"
