Belle's POV

Nandito na kami sa living room namin  at nanonood ng isang action movie.
Ayaw namin ni Love to dahil gusto namin panoorin ang Bird Box eh kaso nanalo ang boys sa Jack n' Poy kaya no choice kaming dalawa kundi panoorin ang movie na isinalang nila sa DVD. Bumblebee ang title nung  movie.
Hindi naman ganoon kasama ang movie dahil mahilig din ako sa mga robot or Autobot movies pero sana Bird box young inuna namin, trending kasi masiyado sa social media eh.

Siyanga pala ganito ang sitting arrangement namin.

From left (Couch)
Neyth 👉 Ako 👉 Love 👉 Kurt
Floor (Carpet)
  Kenneth 👉 Steven 👉 Gelbert

Hindi ko rin ginusto ang arrangement nato.
Nasa gitna talaga ako nina Love at Kurt kaso itong epal na tsunggo may binulong kay Love at saka lumipat ito katabi ni Kurt.
Hmp! Gusto ko dun eh, wag niya lang talaga ahasin sa akin si Kurt.
Hehehehe Joke lang yun.

"Hoy! Nasa harap ang show wala Jan!" Pagkalabit sa akin ni tsunggo.

Inirapan ko siya. "Alam ko, akala ko kasi si Bumblebee ka eh."

Umayos naman siya ng upo at tumikhim. "Eherm" may ubo ba siya? " Bakit? Dahil ba ang cute ko?" Pagmamayabang niyang sabi.
Cute my foot!
Hmp!

Hinarap ko siya at dahan-dahan nilapit ko ang kamay sa pisngi niya at nang maabot ko na ito "Hindi! Akala ko si Bumblebee ka kasi....." I trailed off and pinched his cheeks "dahil gusto kitang tirisin, tumahimik ka na kung ayaw mong mapalayas ng wala sa oras"  panggigil ko sa pagtiris ng hindi niya kagwapuhang mukha.

"A-aray! Stop it! Not my face" sabi niya ng hindi ko pa rin binibitiwan yung pisngi niya.
Ano ka ngayon !
Bwahahahahahaa👿

"Say the magic word first!" I said while grinning. Tignan natin kung gaano mo kamahal ang mukha mo.

"What? No! No way! N-never! Not to you" he talked back.

"Ahhh ganun huh!" I pinched his face harder this time.

"Ouch! Yza huh, nakakasakit ka na" he said while struggling from my hold... On his face HAHAHAHAA

"Say it first" I pressed.

"No way! Not in this lifetime"  giit pa niya at mukhang seryoso na siya ngayon.
He stared at me straight into my eyes. Its like he want me to read him of what is going through his mind, he want me to reach through him, through his soul and every part of him.

I tried.
I tried to read and reach through him but I can't.
It's not like I don't want to. Actually, its the opposite.
I am very eager to know him but he is still a mystery to me. Like a two sets of puzzle laid down on my left and right but I only have one piece of it in my hand to solve one of them. But, how about the other set of puzzle?

He's like a question to me.
If he answer one of it, another one came along and another then another.
He's a nonstop question that still to be answered one by one.

Dahil sa pagtititigan naming dalawa hindi ko na namalayang nasa kalagitnaan na ang movie na isinalang nila but our companions is still oblivious of what was happening to us. Hindi ko na rin namalayang bumubuhos na pala ang napakalakas na ulan sa labas. Hindi ko na rin namalayang ang lapit-lapit lang pala namin sa isa't-isa at ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
Nagpapatunay lang talaga itong, kaya niyang eManipula ang paligid para siya ang maging sentro nito.

Nasa mukha parin niya ang kamay ko but I'm not pinching his face anymore. My hand was laid flat on his face and his eyes is still staring at me... Intently.
Ano bang gusto mong sabihin?
Gusto ko sanang itanong sa kanya yan kaya lang....

Crack!

Whack!

Screech!

Bigla akong napatalon sa aking kinauupuan ng kumulog at kumidlat ng napakalakas.
My heart is hammering at its pace in a multiple folds that makes my breathing shorten.
And... And my face is wet .... I'm crying.
I can't hear voices of my friend that is panicking right now.
There's a warm and strong arm that is holding me right now.
Embracing me.
Calling my name.
But... I can't focus right now.

Crack!

Whack!

Screech!

This time, I screamed out loud!
And I find my voice saying...

"M-mom! I n-need m-my m-mom!" I stammered between sobbing.

After a minute I saw my mom dashing towards me. Panic and concern is evident on her face.

"Baby, breathe. Slowly" she instruct while holding my hand. Firmly.
I did as what I've told.
"Okay babe that's right. Again. Inhale" mom said and this time sinasabayan niya ako." Then exhale" and we released our breathes together.
Medyo kumalma na ako dahil sa pinapagawa ni mom sa akin and a hand that's embracing and caressing me.
Hindi ko muna pinagtuunan ng pansin yun dahil unti-unti nang bumibigat ang talukap ng mga mata ko dahil na rin siguro sa pagod.
But before I closed my eyes a voice whispered right through my ears.
"It will be alright Yza. I will never leave you. I promise."

A voice that can't be mistaken for others.
A voice that is strong and has conviction on it.
A voice that surprisingly soothed me.
And...

The promise that the voice whispered on me.
I hope that's true.
