Tears Of An Angel

Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Promise Ring

"Chela, anak, aren't you finished yet?" mama asked as she stepped inside my room. She shook her head when she saw that I was still putting my stuff inside my bag. "You should've prepared your stuff last night," she said, shaking her head as she helped me out.

I pouted. "Inaantok na po kasi ako, ma."

"Nandiyan na sina Vince."

Ipinga-paalam ako nina Vince at tita na isasama sa hacienda nila sa probinsiya. It came as a surprise to me when mama agreed. She's kinda overprotective when it comes to me. Hindi niya ako pinapayagan kapag masyadong malayo ang biyahe at hindi sila ang kasama ko. Nagmadali na ako sa pag-aayos.

Vince stood up upon seeing us then took my bag from me. Ang daming habilin ni mama sa amin. Lalo na kay Vince. I really thought I lost him forever. Thank God we were able to save our relationship. 

He explained that he believed me, but was just too jealous at that time. He also clarified that he wasn't breaking up with me when he asked for space. It was just that he needed that and time to forget what he saw in the pictures. I even asked him why he didn't protest when I broke up with him. Said it was because he had every intention of winning me back.

"Let's sit at the back, angel," Vince said after I had greeted his family.

Sa dulo nga kami umupong dalawa. Lima hanggang anim na oras daw ang biyahe papunta sa probinsiya nila. Masyadong malayo kaya nga madaling araw kami bumiyahe. I leaned my head on his chest while his arm was wrapped around my body. Inaantok pa ako. 

Si Vince naman ay walang habas sa paglalambing sa akin kahit kasama pa namin ang family niya. Binabawalan ko nga dahil naiilang ako pero siya pa ang nainis. Kaya hinayaan ko na lang para walang away. Yumuko siya at hinalikan ako sa labi. Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mga mata at tumingin sa harapan. 

"They're sleeping," he said grinning.

I pouted. "Vince naman eh."

He chuckled. "I don't care if they see us. I love you, and they know that." Hinalikan pa niya ako ulit. This time it lasted longer. I kissed him back with so much love.

"I love you."

I smiled softly. "I love you, too."

Lalo akong sumiksik sa kanya. He tightened his arms around me. Di ko namalayan na nakatulog ulit ako. When I woke up I turned to look at Vince. He's sleeping soundly beside me. May suot pa siyang wayfarer. Nakaramdam na ko ng gutom. I haven't had breakfast yet.

"Chela hija, you better eat. Malayo pa tayo."

"Yes, ninang."

Vince woke up while I was eating sandwich. Inaya ko na siyang kumain. Namumungay ang mga matang isiniksik niya ang mukha sa leeg ko. 

"Feed me."

Napangiti ako ng may tunog. "What are you? A baby?"

He smirked. "Your baby."

I rolled my eyes. "Ikaw talaga. Ano bang gusto mo? Sandwich?"

"Share na lang tayo." Pinagbigyan ko na siya sa paglalambing niya. Sinubuan ko siya.

"Mom, look at kuya. He's eating ate Chela's sandwich," sumbong ni Missy kay ninang. "Kuya, you should get your own sandwich."

 Vince just smirked while Missy frowned.

Natawa si ninang. "Missy, naglalambing lang ang kuya mo. Let them be."

"Huh?"

"You'll understand when you're older and have a boyfriend of your own, brat," he said smirking. Hinapit niya ako palapit sa kanya. "That is if you ever find someone who can endure your brattiness."
