Kabanata 19

I woke up feeling a bit lighter, sa pagmulat ko nang mata ay nakita ko ang makulimlim na kwarto, medyo madilim at tanging ang lamp lang ang bukas kaya kinabahan ako.

I panicked a bit, was about jumped out of bed when I felt a tight hug on my waist and saw a hair of a person leaning on my chest.

I was confused in a while when I remembered that it was Warrion. I sighed, unti-unti kumalma.

I suddenly remembered how he comforted me when I cried last night, how he cuddled me, how he hugged me tight and kissed my head until I fell asleep again.

Hindi ko maiwasang mahiya para sa sarili ko.

Why am I showing how vulnerable I am again?

Why am I showing my true feelings that fast? Bakit kailangang nakikita n'ya akong mahina?

I sighed, marahang hinaplos ang buhok ni Warrion at sumulyap sa orasan.

It was just five-thirty and the morning yet I am wide awake.

"Thank you..." I whispered softly and caressed his hair before brushing it again.

"But I feel ashamed of myself of being too soft for you, I...just want anyone to see the positive side of me. I just don't want to drag anyone with me in the dark."

Natigilan ako nang bahagyang gumalaw s'ya sa may dibdib ko. Tinitigan ko s'ya at sa pag-angat n'ya ng tingin ay nasalubong ko ang berde n'yang mga mata.

I gasped when his lips lifted a bit for a soft smile before lifting his head and kissing my chin.

"Good morning, baby..." He said huskily.

I just stared at him and did not say anything, nakita kong nagtataka s'ya roon pero kaagad na umayos ng higa para titigan ako.

"Bad dream again?" He murmured.

I shook my head a bit, nakita ko naman ang pagtango n'ya at ang pagsulyap sa orasan sa gilid.

"I'll make you breakfast," He said and stared at me again.

"Okay," Bulong ko sa hangin.

He nodded, his forehead creased upon looking at me. His hand lifted on my face as his thumb caressed my cheek.

"If you want someone to talk to, I'm just here, okay?" He murmured.

My heart quickened in a mixture of sadness and happiness. I just stared at him quietly and he sighed.

Bahagya s'yang umupo sa kama kaya bumagsak ang kumot sa dibdib n'ya. His chest got exposed, lumunok naman ako at nang marahang hawakan n'ya ang braso ko ay marahan akong umupo rin kapantay n'ya.

"Why are you doing this?" Mahinang bulong ko.

He stared at me and I saw how determination filled his eyes.

"Doing what?"

"Comforting me...this. Bakit mo ginagawa?"

He smiled, I closed my eyes when he planted a soft kiss on my forehead before staring.
