Everything About You

Chapter 62

We drop by to the convinience store along the way to buy beers and snacks. Wala atang balak matulog ng maaga at mamahinga itong isang to kahit na maaga pa kami parehas bukas.

When we arrived, he ordered pizza for delivery and set the good movie we are about to watch.

While he was busy preparing for everything, I went straight to my room to change and clean myself up.

Suot ang isang soft silk nightie dress, lumabas ako at nadatnan ko namang nanunuod na si Zky sa may sala.

He is proudly laying on the sofa, nakasandal ang ulo nya dito at nakafocus ang tingin sa screen. I noticed that he remove his coat too, and the sleeves are rolled up to his elbow, making me see his firm and hard arm na may nakabakat ding mga ugat.

His head turned to my place when he felt my presence. I smiled. He tap the place beside him like silently comanding me to sit there and I obligue.

I sit beside him, and he pulled me closer when he notice the space between us.

He placed my head above his shoulders and kissed my forehead.

I remained silent and quiet at nakatutok lang ang tingin sa screen ng TV.

I woke up on the bed without Zky beside me. Nakatulog ako habang nanunuod kami.

Tiningnan ko ang phone to check the time. 1:09 am, where is he?

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at hindi pa man din ako nakakahakbang papunta sa kusina ay nadinig ko na ang boses nya.

"Mom, you know I can't."

I heard him say. He seems so firm yet he sounded so defeated like he don't have any choice but to follow whatever his mother is telling him.

"Okay. I'm coming."

He put his phone down. Lumakad sya palabas ng kusina at agad naman nyang nakitang nakatayo ako sa may gilid.

"Hey" he softly whispered and kissed me on the cheek.

"Why are you up? Did I wake you?" He asked. Agad akong umiling bilang sagot.

Hinala nya ako pabalik sa kwarto saka inalalayang mahiga. He cradled me like a baby and played with my hair as we lay on the bed. Nakaunan ako sa braso nya.

"Sleep baby, hindi ako aalis sa tabi mo." He whispered on my ear.

As if on cue, I hugged him tight. He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

Nakatulog ako ng mahimbing, hindi ko alam kung dahil ba iyon sa ginagawa ni Zky na pagalaga or dahil sa assurance na narinig ko na di na sya aalis sa tabi ko.

Pagkagising ko, my heart ached at the thought that Zky left to do his tours with his band. He left me with a breakfast and a note.

Love,
Good morning. Eat okay? I will miss you!
Ps: See you again after this.  -Z

I sighed after reading his note. Agad kong hinagilap ang phone ko.

From: Dad
Your fiancee will fetch you. Good morning.

Oh dad! What's good in the morning if you'll greet me with this huh?!

I ignored his message and do my usual thing every morning.

Saktong pagkatapos kong magready at palabas na sana ng condo ay biglang may nag door bell.

Then it hit me, he may be the fiancee my dad is talking about.

My expression changed. From sweet to cold and emotionless before opening the door.

"Good morning, fiancee." He greeted me with all smile. I was caught off guard when I saw who's this guy in front of me.
