Eyes Of Love

Chapter 4

"Mom, no! Wag nyo na pong iadjust. Baka po manibago ang sistema ko at mas lalong magkaproblema. Mommy promise, hindi na po mauulit."

"Anak, ang gusto ko la~"

"Mommy, please, can't you trust me this time? Kaya ko mie, promise." putol ko sa kanya. Ayoko ko talaga. I want to know more about that man. 8 minutes is not enough for us, tapos babawasan pa?

"Okay, okay, just promise mommy you'll wake up on time tomorrow. "

Tumango lang ako kay mommy at inayos na ang sarili sa pagkakahiga. Gusto kong makatulog agad para mas maaga akong makapunta sa lugar ni Emman. I closed my eyes and started to think about him. Unti-unti ay nararamdaman ko ang sariling nababalot na ng pagkahimbing. I opened my eyes and happiness filled my heart, nagawa ko, for the third time, I was sitting on the same bench in a peaceful place which I am starting to love. Pero, parang may nawawala.

"You're one minute late."

Napangiti ako nang marinig ang boses na yun, alam kong sa likuran iyon nanggaling and I know that it's Emman.

"tara na! 7 minutes start now! " he pulled my hand which made me stand. Mamaya maya pa ay namalayan ko nalang na tumatakbo na kaming dalawa, mabilis na takbo, but I cannot feel tiredness. My attention was sticked with our hands holding each other.

"Sheena, can you go faster? Sayang ang oras. Haha" he sounds so cute when he said this na may kasama pang hingal. Hindi ko man sya nakikita ay alam kong masaya din sya. He keeps on holding my hand at hindi nya ito binitawan, nauuna sya sa akin at sumusunod lang ako sa kanya, until we suddenly stop.

"you know how to swim?" he asked.

"w-what? "

"on a count of three, we're gonna jump. "

"Wait Emman, I ca~"

"Three" His hand's still holding mine at tumalon sya mula sa kinatatayuan namin dahilan upang mapasama ako sa kanya. Loko loko talaga itong lalaking to, sabi count of three, eh hindi naman nagbilang.

Sabay kaming lumubog sa tubig. The heat of the morning sun takes out the too much coldness of the water, we were still holding each others' hand until we both rise up from the dive.

"WTF Emman, hindi ako marunong lumangoy!" napayakap ako sa kanya and he could stop giggling."

"Tingin mo ba marunong ako? Hahaha" Emman anwered which makes me feel scared.

"Hoy! Tumigil ka.. Ayoko pa mamatay, bwisit ka, pano na tayo nyan~"

"What did I tell you? Kapag inisip mo, magkakatotoo, now, let's think that we're processional swimmers."

I closed my eyes and started to think that I really am a swimmer. Unti-unti ay lumayo si Emman, at napansin ko na, mag-isa nalang ako at hindi ako nalunod.

"I did it! Emman nakakalangoy na ko!"

"Emman? Hoy Emman nasan ka? "

Tawag ako ng tawag sa kanya, I don't dare to move from the place where I am, hindi ko nakikita ang nasa paligid ko, ang pag-asa ko nalang ay mahanap si Emman.

"Emman!"

Nang biglang may kung anong bagay ang humawak sa mga binti ko, nagulat ako sa mga pagkakataong iyon. Mabilis ang pangyayari, ilang sandali lang and I felt like I'm in heaven, ugh para akong nasa alapaap.
