My ONLY Star

Officially Yours

~~GERALD

It was just 6:30 in the morning when I woke up. Though, I am lack of sleep, I woke up feeling happy upon seeing the woman I love sleeping peacefully beside me. Her arm was wrapped around me that I softly kissed the top of her head. I carefully lifted her arm and move a little away from her so I can fully see her face.

My, God! I could wake up to this every morning, I would love to, to be exact. I am now facing her and I held her hand. I ran my finger softly on her nose that she moved and opened her eyes a bit.

She smiled when she saw me. "Good morning.." she mumbled and pouted her lips.

I softly laughed then I reached to kiss her lips softly. She smiled again then drifted back to sleep. I giggled before taking some hair strands that was covering her face and I tucked it behind her ear. She must be too tired.

Napangiti na naman ako habang inaalala ang nagdaang gabi. Those moments that we made love. I still can't believe that I was able to take her over and over again. Yes, we made love not just once. We made love all through the night, kaya din siguro napagod ng sobra ang mahal ko.

I know for a fact that it was not my first time to do it with a woman. But those experiences are different. Because for me, that was not making love, it was just a simple sex. But with Kath, I did it because I love her. Every thing that I did is my way of saying how much I adore and love her. At alam ko naman na naramdaman niya iyon. Ni minsan sa buhay ko, hindi ko naisip na kaya ko palang magmahal ng sobra para sa isang babae. Akala ko noon, papahinain ako ng pagmamahal, hindi pala. Simula kasi nang inamin ko sa sarili ko na mahal ko si Kath, naramdaman kong lahat gagawin ko para protektahan at ipaglaban siya sa kahit na sino.

I can't see my future anymore without Kath in it. Kaya hindi ako makakapayag na masira kami ng kung ano o sino man. Napangiti ako sa naisip kong plano. I have to do this before she wakes up. I gently kissed her cheek and I carefully made my way off to bed.

Palakad lakad ako sa sala habang hinihintay si Mang Roman. Inutusan ko kasi siyang kuhanin kay Jalal yung pinadadala ko. Kahit na alam kong magtataka si Jalal kung sino si Mang Roman, mas pinili ko pa din na hindi ako ang makipagkita sa kanya o kaya naman ay papuntahin si Jalal dito sa secret place ko. Hindi naman sa hindi ko pinagkakatiwalaan si Jalal pero mas mabuti ng wala talagang ibang nakakaalam ng lugar na ito.

While waiting, I've decided to turn on my phone. I turned it off since we got here but I left a text message to Jalal and Ate Nhila that I needed to take a break. Pagka-open ko pa lang, nagsidatingan na yung mga messages. Most of it are all from Ate Nhila. I sighed. Malamang stressed na stressed yun ngayon dahil sa akin.

FROM: Ate Nhila

My God, Geraldo!! ASAAN KABA??!!

Isa lang yun sa mga nabasa ko. I did not bother to read all of her messages, parang alam ko na naman kasi kung anong laman ng mga iyon. I just opened my viber and recorded a voice message for her.
