Once upon a Time

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: Light

Ramiel

"Hanggang kelan mo ba balak gawin yan Ramiel?" Igor asks me habang pinuputol ko ang isang pulang rosas.

"Hangga't kailangan." I answered.

"Mukhang okay naman na kayo ni Yana."

I know we look okay already but I can't get off my mind that scared look on her face when I lost temper.

It still haunts my conscience.

"Kung humihingi ka na lang ba ng tawad personally mas okay pa yun kesa sa araw araw mong pagbibigay sa kanya ng mga bulaklak."

Kung sabagay tama naman si Igor pero bakit patuloy ko paring ginagawa ang palihim na pagbibigay ng mga bulaklak kay Yana?

I walk out of the garden and stopped infront of the house. I look up at her window then I put the rose in my mouth and started climbing. Huminto ako sa pagakyat sa tapat ng bintana ni Yana. I am so used to climbing that it only took me a couple of minutes to reach this height.

I pushed her window open. She never locks it. Silly girl! I should remind her someday that it is not safe to leave windows open. Paano na lang if may makapasok.

Duh! Like me?

I entered the window and quietly walk towards her bed. She is still so sound asleep. I placed the rose beside her then I stared at her face. She is softly breathing her pinkish lips slightly opened. I smiled as I brush her hair.

I chuckled as that familiar wiggling of her nose appeared and she let out a cute high pitched sneeze. This is how I begin my every morning for a couple of days already. Climbing walls, secretly giving flowers and being amused by her never failing sneeze whenever I get this close to her.

Would she even sneeze as well if I kiss her?

I quickly erase that thought. What was I thinking? I can't possibly want to kiss her!

I straightened up and went back to the window. Any moment she might wake up and I can't be caught red handed. I look back at her peacefully sleeping face as I hop on the window.

Maybe this is the answer to Igor's query awhile ago at the garden.

I can't stop secretly giving her flowers because I can't also stop myself from wanting to stare at her beautiful sleeping face.

Yana

"Goodmorning." I said to the rose that greeted me. I took it and smelled it.

Kung sino man ang may pakana nito clap clap clap dahil effective ang pagpapangiti ng mga bulaklak na ito sa akin.

I got out of bed and fix myself matapos nun ay bumaba na ako sa kusina.

"Goodmoring Manang Deli and Francesco." I greeted them. They both smiled at me. I look at the food that we are going to prepare.

"Manang may bisita po ba tayo? Parang ang dami naman po yata ng ilulutong almusal." I ask Manang Deli.

"Ganito naman talaga dati karami ang niluluto naming agahan." Manang Deli said with a hint of happiness in her face.

Ano naman kayang meron? May VIP bang darating sa mansyon? Even Francesco seems to be extra happy right now.

"Lakad na Yana at ilagay mo na ito sa hapag." Manang Deli said habang inaabot sa akin ang isang plato ng bacon.

At exactly six in the morning bumaba si Don Gabriel wearing Bowling outfit with Laylah throttling on his side. Lumapit si Laylah sa akin at hinatak ako papuntang lamesa at pilit akong pinapaupo sa tabi nya.
