Angel Of Mine

Special Chapter

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

Aligaga si Shin habang hawak ang punpon ng bulaklak sa kabilang kamay habang inaayos naman niya ang buhok gamit ang kabilang kamay.

Di siya mapakali habang naghihintay sa sala ng bahay nina Ria at Tim habang nanunuod lang sa kanya ang dalawang bata at panay gaya sa kanya ni Tamtam.

"You look good, just relax." Dumagundong ang dibdib niya ng marinig ang boses ni Ria at ang pagbukas ng pinto nito. Napalunok pa siya habang pinapakinggan ang mga yapak nila.

Kinakabahan siya habang di maalis ang mga imahe ni Eso sa isip niya at panay ang paalala sa sarili niya'ng hindi si Eso si Eunso.

'They're two different people. But why do I feel the same way to Eunso?'

"Hi." She smiled sweetly at Shin who's stunned and awed seeing her.

"Why are you wearing that? You look exactly like my Eso." Shin murmured in his head while Eunso is still smiling at him while fixing her black sling bag.

"You look like an angel Eunso." Tamtam commented that added fuel to the fire of doubts.

"Oh my, thanks Tam." She shyly said and glanced at Shin who's still speechless, while Ria is grinning ear to ear watching his former boss.

"Better move now Shin or you'll be late. " Ria snapped at him.

"R-right! I'm sorry, you're just so beautiful. By the way, here's for you to match your dress." he exclaimed while giving the flowers to Eunso who's smiling sweetly.

"I kept thinking they're both different people, but how she acts and all of her keep reminding me of Eso." Shin wondered while watching Eunso eating her food without care surrounding them. Just like Eso.

"Hey you know what. I keep dreaming some weird stuff. I know it's a bit weird telling you this out of the bubble, but it kept bugging me." Nakuha naman kaagad ang atensyon ni Shin sa sinabi ni Eunso habang pinupunasan neto ang bibig niya.

"Care to share?"

"Well, you see. I kept dreaming of another person's life. As if, it was or we're mine." Nabuo ang pagtataka sa sistema ni Shin kaya mas nakinig pa sya sa kwento ni Eunso.

Habang pinapanuod niya at pinapakinggan eto, ay napapangiti siya tuwing bibigyan ng aksyion ni Eunso ang mga kwento niya.

"She's so cute."

"It's so weird." She said after telling Shin her story. He just keep smiling and watching her with adoration.

"Yeah, weird." He just mumbled. Eunso starred at Shin waiting for a different reaction, but in her relief. Her date doesnt seem to be bothered by her weirdness.

And that made her happy. Most of her dates before keep thinking she's weird and crazy telling some sort of stories especially her dreams in her sleep. No one ever take her seriously because of that. But not Shin. He's different, as if he accepts her for who she really is.

"Hey Shin?" She called out his attention. Shin looked at her after taking a sip in his drink.

"Y-yeah?" nervous.

"Thank you." She smiled. And that stunned Shin even more, her smile is so genuine and her beautiful smile woke him up in realization.

Eso and Eunso are two different people. He should just stop comparing the two. Eunso is here with him, a God and Angel sent for him.

"Thank you, for coming into my life." He answered back that made her blush shyly.

"Um, if you don't mind? Will you be in my race this weekend?"

Then he remembered, Eunso is an athletic girl. She's a part of the track and field in her country. That explains how quick her reflexes are.

"Not really a race, but you know. Our organization planned a small training camp for aspiring track and field athletes in your country. And that's also the reason why we went here as well." She explained and hoping Shin will say yes.

She'll get more inspired if he's there.

"Sure. Anything for you." Her smile widened.

Shin just watched her smiling. And keep feeling the loud thump in his chest while watching how happy the girl infront of him is.

"Anything for you Eunso."

Still shy and awkward they continued their date. The usual date that everyone is doing.

Having lunch together, watching movies and talking about everything of their likes and dislikes.

"Can you teach me tagalog next time?" Shin looked at her after they stopped infront of Tim's house.

"Oh. Am I to bothersome? I'm so sorry, I get to comfortable."

Nagpanic si Shin ng makitang tila nanliit si Eunso sa sarili pagkatapos niyang magsalita kaya wala sa sariling inabot nito ang kamay niya na kinagulat rin nilang dalawa. Akmang bibitawan niya na sana pero nanaig sa isipan niya na 'wag bitawan ulit ang kamay ng taong importante sa kanya.

"No you're not. I would love to. And please, don't think twice asking me. I asked you out because I want to know more about you, I like you the moment we first talked in Tim and Ria's wedding. Don't think wrong about that, I just...really like you.” He blurted out.

Gulat silang dalawa sa biglang pag amin ni Shin kaya natahimik lang silang dalawa at panay tingin lang s paligid para makaiwas tumingin sa isa't-isa.

“Shin? I...you know why I got comfortable around you when we first met? It's because, I feel like we've known for each other for a long time eventhough we barely even know each other. I'll accept your confession, I won't lie about mine as well. But, Ria said if things get into this situation, I should take it slow.”

Ngumiti lang si Shin at inabot ang kamay ni Eunso at mahigpit itong hinawakan.

“Yeah. We should. Don't worry, I wont rush things between us. I'll court you, Filipino way.”

Eunso smiled and felt the warm feeling inside her heart hearing what Shin said to her. Everything is new for her, this is way different from dating in her country. But she's starting to like it, especially if it is Shin.

Their bond grew stronger as days past. Shin stayed true to his words as he courted Eunso. The typical Filipino way of courting a lady. And everything he did, impressed her and her feelings grew more for him.

But it didnt last, Eunso's stay in the Philippines ended. With heavy heart, they bid their farewells at the airport. And tears can't help but flow from Eunso's beautiful eyes as she tighten her hug to Shin.

“Hey, don't worry. I'll follow you there. Can you wait for me?” He mumbled while caressing Eunso's hair.

She sniffed while nodding and Shin finds it cute, so he smiled.

Her childish side is showing, but she's still perfect in his eyes.

“Promise?” She asked as she breaks the hug and looked at Shin's face. Memorizing every inch so she wont forget.

“I promise.” I will never lose you again.
