HANA'S POV

I thought I will die. But I know.. He will always be there to save me. Nandito kami sa kuwarto para magpahinga. But I can't sleep.

Siguro dahil na din sa phobia ko. Nagkaroon ako ng phobia sa malalim na parte ng dagat dahil once na din akong nahulog mula sa bangka nung bata pa ako. Nasa France kami nun at sobrang takot na takot ako nun dahil madilim at di ako makahinga. Mula nun di na ako pumupunta sa malalim at laging nasa mababaw nalang ako.

Akala ko wala na yung takot ko. Pero meron padin pala.

"Can't sleep?" Sabi ni Adamson habang nakapikit pa din. Gising na pala sya.

"Yeah.." sagot ko. Humigpit ang yakap nya sa'kin at namula naman ako.

"Don't worry. I will always be here for you." Nag smile lang ako sa kanya at pumikit. His hug is so warm and I feel safe in his arms.

"Did you know? The moment you drowned, I was scared." Napatingin ako sa mga mata nya at kita ko ang lungkot.

"W-Why?"

"Because I thought I'll lose you. I can't lose another person who is important to me again. My heart won't be able to bear it." Again? What does he mean by that? Is he talking about April? Important person.. I'm happy with it. But would it be happier if we have a label?

"Anyway, the juice that has drugs, it's my mom's idea. Tch." Eh? His mom?

"Carl confessed to me. Mom did it because she wants... a baby." What?! A baby?!

"But why does she want a baby from us? We're not even lovers right? At naka arranged marriage ako sa iba." Biglang kumunot ang noo nya.

"It doesn't matter! You're mine now right? Go get some rest now." Sabi nya at pinatay na ang ilaw. Adamson.. ano ba tayo?

Naalimpungatan ako at nagising. Nauuhaw ako..

Dahan dahan akong umalis sa pagkakayakap ni Adamson at lumabas ng kuwarto namin. Narinig ko sa labas na may nag gigitara kaya napatingin ako sa labas ng bintana. Gising pa pala sila. Nag bonfire sila sa labas at nag iinuman.

Bumaba ako sa kusina at andun pala si Lin.

"Nana! I'm so sorry for earlier. I did not know that you can't swim. I should have not pull you and let go of your hand." Oh. She's blaming herself. Silly.

"No. It's not your fault, Lin. Don't blame yourself." Sabi ko at saka pinunasan ang luha sa gilid ng mata nya. Ngumiti sya at binigyan ako ng tubig.

"Seems like something is bothering you?" She can see through me.

"Well yeah.." Umupo kami sa sofa at binigyan ako ni Lin ng tingin na makikinig sya sa anumang sasabihin ko.

"Well.. It's Adamson. After what we've been through, I still can't understand. I can't understand why he's sweet and gentle to me. He shows affection and when he's kissing me.. I feel like he's inlove with me. But I just can't assume things right? I don't know what to do.."

Naiinis na ako sa kanya. Kase dba? Pinapaasa nyang merong kami. Pinapakita nya na mahal nya ako. Pero bat ganun? Hindi din naman sya nanliligaw.

"That is so complicated! Akala ko kayo na? Wala palang label? Mahirap yan bestie! You know what? I have an idea!" Nakita kong nag grin si Lin at kinakabahan ako sa idea nya.

"Why don't we make him jealous? Kung may rival sya, I'm sure mas gugustuhin nyang magkaroon kayo ng label para dika na maangkin ng iba! Since wala naman palang kayo, maging malaya ka Nana!" Make him jealous? But what if it does not work?
