Chapter 68 - Circumstances
July 21, 2019
"Good morning." Ani Lee bago binigyan ng halik si Odi sa labi bago naglakad papuntang kusina
Tumingin si Odi sa malaking relo sa may sala. Alas otso pa lang ng umaga at halos hindi siya makadilat pa dahil napuyat siya kagabi.
They actually finished their rounds of bullying a little early and has managed to even help her shower bago sila natulog sa kwarto niya.
He didn't know how what time he was able to finally sleep dahil buong gabi, he was just very conscious of the warmness in his arms. Niyakap niya lang si Lee and prayed for that moment to last. She is finally his fiancee. His betrothed.
Marahil sa iba, wala naman ibig sabihin 'yun at walang pagkakaiba because they are living together already. But to him, words and labels are so powerful especially since he knew that he was just treading on thin ice in this relationship. Lee was very flighty since the beginning, and his commitment in accepting her— just to make her stay without any explanation of what happened in the past is already a shot to the moon.
Pumayag siya na sa lahat dahil kuntento naman siya sa kung anong ibibigay ni Lee, manatili lang ito sa tabi niya.
And now that she has decided to be his wife, it's like telling him that she is really gonna stay. That his worries on her leaving him again should be gone.
"Magbihis ka nga." Bati niya dito nang mapansin na naka-kamison lang ito at panty habang nagluluto sa kusina.
"Wala namang tao." She smiled at him.
Yes, but it was difficult for him and for his already hard morning wood.
Lumapit siya sa likod nito niyakap ito.
"Kaya mo magluto? 'Yung kamay mo?" Ani Odi habang hinahawi ang mga naglaglagang buhok sa may leeg nito at binigyan si Lee ng halik dito.
"Okay ako. Gumagana pa naman itong isang kamay." She said as she faced him. She kissed his nose. "Doon ka na..."
Ngumiti si Odi at pinagmasdan ulit si Lee mula ulo hanggang paa.
"What if we find a little house just for the both of us? So you can walk like that everyday?"
"Baliw! Why?"
"I like you like that." Nag-isip pa si Odi. "O kaya naman, I can lease a condo for Perci. Hindi ba uso naman 'yun sa mga kabataan?"
"Adik ka. Huwag na kayong maghiwalay magkapatid." Bumalik si Lee sa niluluto niya. "Magsusuot ako ng robe, nakalimutan ko lang kasi mainit. Nakapatay pala 'yung aircon. 'Di na natin nabuksan kagabi. Pati 'yung mga binatana."
Lumapit muli si Odi kay Lee at hinawakan sa baywang mula sa likod.
"Umupo ka na doon. Wait mo itong food."
