Chapter 5 - New Beginning?
Madeline's POV
Nakita ko na lang ang sarili ko na nakasakay sa kotse ni Chain, pauwi sa amin. Sa bahay ng pinsan ko. I just don't know what to feel. Kaba? Takot? Excitement? Hindi ko alam.
Maya maya pa ay napansin kong iba ang daanan nito sa bahay ng pinsan ko.
"Where are we going?" Nilingon ko siya. She just look at me and smiled. Okay? What's going on?
Ang sabi niya, 1 week nila akong hindi mahanap. I told you that I already lost count kung ilang araw na akong hindi umuuwi after ng away namin ni Nathalie.
"I'm taking you home." Sabi niya. Home? What the hell is she talking about? Kay Nathalie ako uuwi.
"What are you talking about?" Tanong ko.
"Bumili ako ng bahay para sayo na malapit sa school. Your cousin already agreed on it." Paliwanang niya.
"Paano ang mga gamit ko?" I asked again. Isang linggo lang ako nawala pagbalik ko, may bahay na ako. Yes, I agreed to marry her. But I didn't agree on this. Ang lumipat ng bahay. Alam kong ikakasal kami at titira sa iisang bahay. Not this early!
I like her. Wait, anong sabi mo? You like her? Since when? Tanong ng utak ko. Mariin akong napapikit. Damn! Did I just admit that I like her?
"Naihatid na ng pinsan mo nung araw na dapat papasok ka ng first day sa CU." She said, glancing at me. "Ang kaso, umalis ka." Mahinang sabi niya pa.
She pulled her car. Then she held my hand. This is the reason kung bakit ayokong madikit kay Chain. She can make my heart melt on her own way.
I look down. Sa kamay namin. It feels so perfect. I don't want to pull away. I want to hold her back. And that's what I did. I intertwined my hands on hers. Then I smile on myself. Tinignan ko siya. She's smiling at me.
"I won't leave you again." Sabi ko. "I promise." Then I kissed her. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko iyon ginawa. I just feel it. I was about to pull away nang hawakan niya ang leeg to just for me not to end the kiss.
It was a breathtaking and passionate kiss. We are out of breath kaya naghiwalay kami. I look into her eyes. I can see a little hint of lust and pure love. And I can see my name on her eyes. Alam kong exaggerated, but that's what I can see in her eyes.
"Let's go home now." Then I nodded. She's still holding my hands. Gusto kong bumitaw kasi, pasmado na ang kamay ko.
"Chain," I called her name. She looked at me quickly then back in the road. "My palm is sweatly. Let go." I calmly said. But instead na bitiwan ang kamay ko, she kissed the back of it. I admit that it sent a thousand bolt down to my spine.
"I won't let you go." Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. Paano ako lalayo, gayong nasa kotse niya ako.
"Hun, I'm not going anywhere." Natatawang sabi ko sa kanya. She sigh then she let my hands go. She's cute. Pero hindi pa din ako pwedeng makampante dahil lang sinabi niya sa akin ang mga salitan hindi dapat sabihin pa nang maaga.
Tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana. Alam kong hindi pa siya tapos magmahal ng iba. I smile bitterly. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya pakikisamahan pagdating sa bagong bahay.
"Hey," she's getting my attention which she did successfully. I looked at her. "May problema ba?" She looked at me quickly then back on the road. I shook my head. Saka muling tumingin sa labas.
Narinig ko ang pagbubuntong hininga siya. I want to ask what is the problem pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko. And before she can open a new topic, nagsuot ako agad ng earphone. Memories by Maroon 5 is playing.
