On-Duty

20- Try again

We were driving on our way to camp with silence after our almost sex. Bigla na naman siya bumalik sa dati dahil naisip niya ate niya. Nakakatawa lang Kasi nung umpisa sabi niya kalimutan ko muna si Jisoo. I decided to open my heart again for her. I know I like her. Pero hindi pa ganun kalalim pero dahil siya na ang gumagawa ng way para umiwas, I will let her do it. Ayoko din naman magmukhang desperada sa sex at pagmamahal. If that's what she wants, then it's fine with me. Pero kung magiging ganto Lang kame araw araw dahil sa mood swings niya, mas mabuti pa Lang na ngayon pa lang itigil ko na tong nararamdaman ko.

I pull on the side and quickly get out of the car without opening the car door for her. Alam ko naghihintay siya pero di ko na binuksan. Gusto ko maramdaman niya na nasaktan ako. I never glance at her once again after we left the house.

"Here's the map. A helicopter will bring you to your new house. It's in the middle of the mountain. Madaming guards ang ipapalibot ko sa inyo for your own security" Sabi ni dad. Nasa gitna kami ng meeting at nandito din ang mga kaibigan namin.

"Madami na pa lang guards General? Kailangan pa ba ko dun?" I asked making them sigh and the girls roll their eyes.

"Here we go again" Irene stated.

"Nagusap na tayo Pokpak" maikling sagot ni Dad. At pag ganyan na sagutan niya, galit na siya.

I just shrugged my shoulder and lean my back.

"I've heard what happened this morning. And Pokpak gave me the copy of the men who tried to enter your home. Are you familiar with any of them Jennie?" Tanong ni Dad sa kanya pero umiling lang siya.

"You may go home and fix your stuffs. We're leaving in 1900 everything's clear?" We stood up and salute.

"Sir yes sir" we all said in unison.

"Lisa" she said as we enter the house but I ignore her.

"Pokpak!" I ignore her again and went straight to the room and lay down.

"Pranpriya! Don't play deaf I know you can hear me!" She shouted then I put on my earphones to ignore her at all.

I close my eyes and decided to take a nap. I got flinched when she pull my earphones that causes it to break.

"What the-- what's your problem?!" I shouted. She starts to form tears but I just pull up the blanket and turn my back at her. Nagulat ulit ako ng may pumalupot na kamay sa bewang ko at naramdaman kong nababasa na yung likod ko.

"Haaaaay!!!" Sigaw ko habang hinihimas yung mukha ko sa inis. Alam na alam niya pano ko papalambutin. I let out a deep sigh nung nararamdaman kong humihikbi na siya.

I turn around and she quickly cover her face while crying.

"Wag ka na umiyak magagalit ate mo" Sabi ko at lumayo ng konti. I turn my back again. Mas okay na to kesa naman umasa ako sa wala dahil sa guilt niya.

"I called Dad and told him na mauna na kayo sa hideout. Sunod na Lang ako. Susunduin ka na lang nila dito mamaya" Sabi ko but didn't look at her.

After a minute, she is still crying at di na kaya ng konsensya ko. I look back and she is now hugging her knees up on her chest. I scoot near her and pull away her hands on her knees and replaced it with mine.

"Nakakainis! Di Kita matiis!" Sabi ko and she tightly hug me back.

"S-sorry na" Sabi niya agad at binaon Ang basang basang mukha niya sa gilid ng leeg ko.

"Tigil na ayoko sinabi umiiyak ka e" sagot ko sa kanya at mas lalo pa niyang idiniin ang mukha niya.

"Wag ka na kaseng cold sorry na" napangiti ako. Para kameng teenager na magiowang nagaaway.

"Tama na. Sige na bati na tayo magayos ka na. Pasyal muna tayo bago pumunta sa camp" she nods but didn't release the hug.

"Lisa" she called.

"Po?" Sagot ko.

"I love you" my heart beats fast at nanlaki ang mata ko. I am forming a smile right now and Alam ko kung ano isasagot ko. But I'm doubting. Masyado pa yatang maaga. Then Dad's reminder came in my mind. Yung time na sinabi niya saken noon na kailangan I live my life like it's last Kasi ganun Ang bawat sundalo. Lalo na ngayon that Jennie's in a delicate situation. Anytime pwede siyang makuha saken. Anytime pwede siyang mawala instantly. Ayoko yun mangyari pero Wala akong magagawa kung magkaganon.

"Mahal din Kita Jennie. At alam ko masaya ate mo dahil sayo ako napunta. So never doubt anything. Mahal ko Ang ate mo sobra. Pero ikaw na yung nandito at nandun na siya sa taas. Masaya na din siya dun. Please don't hold back" I said and she pull her head away. I wipe it with both hands and kiss her forehead. Staying my lips on it long. She smiled and chuckled.

I slowly leaning my head papunta sa kanya and she started to caress my cheeks and without a second, our lips collided again with each other. Her strawberry taste like lips is in sync with mine again.

I woke up from a good nap after a good sex. Wala kaseng hinto sa pagtunog yung phone ko. As soon as I got my phone and my eyes landed on a figure beside me, I smile ear to ear seeing my girlfriend sleeping naked sa tabi ko. We are fully naked under the blanket at yung ulo nya nasa balikat ko at nakabaon sa leeg ko yung mukha nya. She used my arm as a pillow and her arms wrap around my chest. I smile at the moment. My phone stops ringing. Napunta yung Mata ko sa pinto sa likod ni Jennie and I saw some shadow. Para siyang naglalakad. The shadow started to turn our doorknob to open it luckily, it is locked.

"Jennie wake up" I wispher at her. She open her eyes and pull me into a tight hug again.

"Jennie someone's outside please don't panic" I wisphered again making her eyes widen. Pag dilat niya ay agad ko agad tinakpan ang bibig niya making her nod in agreement na di siya magiingay. Tinuro ko yung pinto and her eyes widen more sa shadow roaming inside our home. I gesture to keep quiet and I stand on my bed then pick up our dress. I throw her dress to wear it as I wear mine. I slowly pull the drawer and get my hand gun and give it to Jennie. She was so hesitant but I force her to hold it.

"Whatever happens, pag Wala na kong magawa sa sitwasyon, wag ka magdalawang isip iputok yan okay? Kung may chance makatakbo ka sa labas, tumakbo ka na. Wag mo ko isipin, I can manage myself Basta your safety is our priority." I gave her a kiss on her lips.

"I love you Hun" I said and stood up. I pull out another gun I hide behind the couch and slowly approach the door with Jennie behind me.

Dahan-dahan kong binuksan Ang pinto aiming my gun towards it.
