The Fatal Love Of Zamarrah

Chapter 13

I'm so nervous to tell him this. But he deserves to know. The least I could do to pay back for his love is to love him. Wala nang iba pa.

So I gathered all my courage to form these three words and let it out.

"I... I love..."

"Deliveryyyyy!!!" a man shouted from outside the condo.

"I love... Delivery! Wait what?"

Na-distract kami at nagambala ng lalaking nasa labas. Napabuntong hininga pa si Justin bago sya nakatayo to open the door and see the man.

I strangely felt relieved for he was saved by the bell. Literally hahaha.

"Zer, naabala kayo, zer?" tanong ng delivery man.

"No, it's okay," sabat ko sa usapan.

"Kanina pa po kasi akong nag-do-doorbell eh walang nasagot kaya sumigaw na ko," he added.

Pinapirma nya si Justin before carrying a big rectangular box inside our room. Tinulungan na rin kami ni koya na ilabas mula sa box ang laman nito.

"Wow. A wardrobe?" I asked.

"Yah, I figured na you should have your own since you're gonna live with me. Unless you prefer to share my wardrobe, you can disregard this."

"Heck no, I'm gonna disregard this. Thank you so much, koya for bringing this."

"Walang anuman, mam. Mauna na po ako," pagpapaalam ng delivery boy after getting the payment from Justin.

Tiningnan ako nang masama ni Justin. I wonder why.

"Bakit? Babawiin mo na?" I asked.

"Buti pa si kuyang delivery man, napasalamatan mo, diba?"

Hangkyut talaga nya magselos. I badly want to tease him but duh? How ungrateful will I be kung di nga naman ako magpapasalamat sa kanya.

"Masyado kasing special yung thank you ko for you," I told him. "So special that he's not allowed to see," I added.

"Oh shut up, man. You know, I'm ready! Gimme that thank you," he replied as he closed his eyes while pouting.

I laughed at how he reacted to that simple tease of mine. And then I hugged him.

Although hindi ito yung ini-expect nya, I can feel him satisfied. He even rubbed the back of my head as he tightens the hug.

"Thank you for everything, Justin."

"No. Thank you for being my everything."

Oh, Justin, can you be less romantic please? Baka bumaon na ko hanggang inner core nyan dahil sa sobrang pagkahulog ko sayo.

As much as I don't want this moment to end, it has to dahil malalim na rin ang gabi and I still have to arrange my things in the new wardrobe.

"Call me if you need help, I'll just take a shower," pagpapaalam sakin ni Justin.

"Ang weird mo nuh? Dalawang beses ka talaga naliligo araw-araw?"

"Ganito kasi yan. Nung bata pa ko, tamad akong maligo so binabawi ko yun ngayon. Yung mga araw na di ako naliligo dati."

"Ayos ah. Maganda yan. Might try."

"Basta ah, tawagin mo ko kung may kailangan ka at tatakbo agad ako papunta rito. Kahit wala pa akong suot."
