NOPI 33: He knows my secret.

Chapter 33

Sephine's POV

"What did you eat for lunch today?" tanong ni Charles kaya naman natawa na ako

"Kailangan mo ba talagang alamin pati kung anong kinakain ko?" tanong ko kaya naman tumango siya

He's even using his serious face.

"Of course, malay mo parehas tayo ng kinain diba? We could not only be meant for each other, we could also be soulmates" sagot niya saka niya ako tinataas taas at binabaan ng kilay niya

"I only drank three cups of ginger tea" mahina kong sagot dahilan kung bakit niya ako pinanliitan ng mga mata

Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay nagsalita na siya.

"You think that's good for you?" tanong niya kaya naman hindi ako sumagot

"Tsk. Seems like I won't only send you food in the morning, but also in lunch time" sagot niya kaya naman agad ko na siyang pinalo

"Ngayon lang naman ako nag-skip ng lunch. Sobrang kabado ako kaya naman hindi ako makakain ng maayos at maganda ang epekto ng ginger tea sa lalamunan ko. Naging maayos ang pagkanta ko dahil sa tatlong baso na 'yon" sagot ko saka ko iniwas ang tingin ko sakanya

"Should I send it you personally?" tanong niya kaya naman kumunot ang noo ko

"Don't do that," sagot ko

"I'm only worried about you. Bakit parang ako pa ang mali dito? Gusto ko lang namang alaagaan mo ang sarili mo," rinig kong bulong niya kaya naman napakagat ako ng labi ko

Sht. Nakonsensya ako. Like seriously. He's right. He was only thinking about my well being, there's no need to be so strong about everything.

Umurong na ako papalapit sakanya saka hinawakan ang kamay niya na ikinagulat niya.

"I'm sorry, Charles. Ayaw na kitang abalahin pa ng sobra kaya ko nasabi 'yon. I promise, I'll take good care of myself. Ngayon lang talaga 'to" sabi ko dahilan kung bakit niya ako tinignan ng matagal tagal

"Sa tingin mo ba abala ka sa akin?" tanong niya kaya naman napakagat ako ng labi ko dahil hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko

"Look, Sephine. If you want me to serve you or feed you, I can do that and if you want to have something, I have enough money to buy them for you. I'm willing to take care of you, to protect you. I know we've only met recently, but it felt like we've known each other ever since" sabi niya kaya naman hindi ako nagsalita at agad nang lumapit sakanya at ipinatong na ang ulo ko sa balikat niya feeling his warmth and smelling his manly scent and aromatic rose perfume

"Thanks, Charles. Anyways, why did a simple 'what did you eat for lunch today' question lead to you taking care of me and protecting me?" bulong ko dahilan kung bakit siya natawa

"I also don't know. At least masaya ka, that's all that matters to me"

I spent my time with Charles at the back stage. We were taking our time talking, joking and exchanging sweet nothings to each other. 

Napakatagal pa dahil sa dami ng sections ng Business Department. A-E sections, specialized sections like Star Section, Dean's Section and sections for different majors.
