My Ex Is My Roommate [ON-HOLD]

CHPTR THIRTEEN

A E N A ' s :

"Baby! Baby wake up!!!"

Napabalikwas ako. It's a goddamn dream!! Shit I thought it was true.

Napatingin ako kay Czai. "Baby.." I uttered then I hugged him.

"Baby ayos ka lang ba? Tulog ka kanina tapos bigla ka nalang umiyak. What happened? What was it hmm? Tell me." He said then hugged me back, tighter. Then he kissed my temple.

I touched my cheeks, yes I'm crying. What the hell was that dream. "Nanaginip ako, naaksidente daw tayo. Tapos--- tapos... You died. Baby I'm scared." Sabi ko. Hindi ko mapigilan hindi mapaiyak. Just the thought of losing him makes me wanna die.

"Shh. Baby, ano kaba? Kabaliktaran ang mangyayari okay? Besides, were here. Look." He said then he guided my chin to look at the surroundings. It looked wonderful here.

Napatanag ang loob ko. "Let's go inside, there's someone waiting for you." Napapitlag ako sa sinabi nya. What? Waiting for me? Sino naman kaya?

Nag-ayos ako at saka lumabas na kasunod nya. Resthouse daw nila ito. Ang ganda at ang laki nung bahay. Parang hindi rest house. Parang rest mansion. Ang ganda kasi malapit lang sya sa dagat tapos walang tao, kami lang. Feeling ko tuloy honeymoon na namin. Hihi. I smiled with that thought.

Pagpasok namin sa loob, pinaupo nya ako sa couch. "Wait for her okay? Ia-akyat ko lang ton gamit natin." I nodded. Her? Sino---

"Ija!!!" Nagulat ako ng biglang may nagsalita sa likod ko. Paglingon ko..

"Titaaaa!!" I shouted back and hugged her. My gash I missed her. We were so close back then.

"I'm so glad you're here!! At syempre, masayang masaya ako dahil nagkabalikan kayo ng anak ko." She said happily.

I smiled. "Thank you tita. I'm so glad to see you again."

"Kumaen na ba kayo? Where's -- Oh, there is he! Anak bumaba ka dito. And cook for us." Tita commanded.

His jaw dropped. "What? Mom naman pagod ako." Pagre-reklamo nya.

"Eh sinong magluluto? Manang Felita is not here pinagbakasyon ko muna para ma-solo mo si Aena." Tita said then she giggled.

"Mom!" He said with his warning tone.

"What? I'm not saying anything. You're the one who's thinking the other way." Then she smirked. Haha Tita is so cool as ever.

"Tch. I'm leaving you two there. I'm going to cook." He sighed in defeat.

Parehas naman kaming nagdiwang ni Tita. Hehe, mag-kasundo talaga kami.

Habang naghihintay sa foods, nagchikahan muna kami ni Tita. Nagkwento sya tungkol kay Czai nung bata pa ito. Tawa kami ng tawa parehas.

"Alam mo bang one time, inihian nya ang daddy nya sa mukha habang natutulog? Hahaha! Kung nakita mo ang mukha ng Tito mo noon, Priceless! Hahaha. Pero hindi nya masaktan si Czai dahil mahal na mahal nya yang batang yan. Dalawa sila ng kapatid nya." She smiled, but a sad one.

"I always wanted to have a perfect family. Kaso ayaw ni Czai ng fame, ayaw nya ng magulo. Sa mundo kasi ng Imperial, hindi talaga maiiwasan ang exposure. Pero ayaw nya non. Kaya he decided to live alone. Samantalang ang kapatid nya, laging wala. Busy sa trabaho at gimmiks nya. Ako naman, busy sa pag-aasikaso ng mga Companys namin. You know what Ija, isang beses lang kaming nagkasama sama sa hapag-kainan. Yun ay noong 40th death anniversary ng dad nila. Hindi na naulit. Kahit tuwing pasko. Nadalaw naman sila pero sandali lang, aalis na agad." She said sadly.

I hugged her. "You know what tita, parehas lang tayo ng gusto. Pero ang sakin naman, hindi ko kasundo ang ate ko. Me and Helena back then were so close. Pero simula noong tumuntong kami ng 14, hindi na kami nagkausap ulit ng maayos. Lagi kaming nag-aaway. Lalo na noong nagkaroon sya ng first love. Pero ang gusto nung lalaki ay ako. Hindi ko naman alam kaya tuwing kakausapin ako nung lalaking yun, kinakausap ko din sya. Not knowing my sister is hurting the other side. I already begged for forgiveness but she just can't accept it. Simula noon, puro na kami away. I admit, I miss the old us. I miss how we bond, how we share our secrets to each other. Pero dahil lang doon, nawala lahat." I said.

She smiled at me. "But don't loose hope. God will find way to reunite our family again."

I nodded. "You're right tita." Then we both smiled.

"Hey girls, drop the drama. Let's eat first." Biglang singit ni Czai.

Parehas kaming natawa ni Tita, "Aye aye boss!" Sabay naming sabi atsaka umacting pa na parang mga pulis na sumasaludo. Tumawa naman si Czai at inakbayan kaming dalawa.

"Kayong dalawa ang pinaka-importanteng babae sa buhay ko. At madadagdagan pa." He said. Napatingin kaming dalawa ni tita sakanya.

"What? Madadagdagan?" Sabay naming sabi ni Tita. Tumawa naman sya. And said,

"Of course madadagdagan pa. And those were mine and Aena's soon to be daughters."
