Wounded Memories (La Union Series #1)

9

Naging busy kami ulit nung malapit na ang finals. We had to attend different seminars and work shops. I got an ace in our performances. Hindi ko na din nakikita si Theron dahil nga parehas kaming abala. He's busy with his projects. Especially that he would be the speaker for our program next week. He's busy reviewing his speech. We still message each other but not every time.

I just finished doing my report when my phone vibrated. Nag unat muna ako ng kamay at leeg bago yun binuksan.

From: Theron
Wru? Let's grab some lunch.

Nagtext lang ako sakanya na nasa library ako ngayon. Kaya habang hinihintay siya ay inayos ko muna yung mga gamit ko. Sakto namang kababalik ko lang sa lamesa ko pagkatapos kong isauli yung libro sa shelf nung dumating siya.He's already holding my laptop's bag. Hinayaan ko nalang siya dun dahil sanay naman na ako.

"You hungry?" he asked, slightly tapping my head.

"I don't know. Ano'ng oras na ba?" hindi ko na din namalayan yung oras dahil sa ginawa ko kanina.

"One, you have class after one?" he asked.

Binuksan niya yung pintuan at hinintay akong makalabas bago ulit siya nakisabay saakin sa paglalakad. Gaya ng dati may iilan pa ding napapatigil kapag nakikita kaming magkasama. Yung iba naman ay sanay na siguro dahil tanging ngiti nalang ang ginagawa nila.

"Three pa next kong class, how about you?" akala ko kasi busy siya ngayon. Yun ang sabi niya saakin kagabi.

"Same, sa condo tayo? I'll cook pasta.."

He chuckled when he saw my reaction. I've been ranting about my cravings for pasta! Kaya pala tinanong niya ako kung anong gusto kong luto nun!

"Ang papansin mo no?!" hinampas ko siya sa braso. Alam niya kung anong gusto ko, kainis kinikilig ako!

Nakarating kami sa condo niya ng mabilis, wala kasing masyadong traffic on our way here. Nung mailapag ko yung bag ko sa sala ay agad akong sumunod sakanya.He unbutton his polo shirt. Naglagay din siya ng apron at inayos ang kaniyang buhok para hindi humarang sa mukha niya. I leaned on the island counter with crossed arms across my chest. I watched him look for the ingredients.

"I'll just prepare the sauce, nagluto na ako kanina nang pasta" he informed me.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Nakakahiya namang palagi nalang na ako yung pinagluluto niya. Gusto ko din namang makatulong even in the slicing.

"Do you know how to use this?" pinakita niya saakin yung kutsilyo.

"Of course!"

Agad akong lumapit sakanya, kinuha ko sa kamay niya yun at nagsimulang maghati ng mga kakailanganin niya.

"What's your specialty?" tanong niya pagkaraan ng ilang minuto.

"Many to mention," I boastfully said. I heard him laughed a little.

"Yabang mo naman zer!" I rolled my eyes.

Nung matapos akong mag slice ay lumipat muna ako sa sala. I tried to find something to watch but I ended up lying in the sofa.Nagising lang ako nung may pumisil saaking ilong dahilan kung bakit hindi ako nakahinga at wala sa loob na nagising.

I glared at Theron who's laughing so hard. He's not wearing his apron anymore. Maybe he's done cooking. Nagutom tuloy ako nung may maamoy akong pamilyar na amoy.

"Are you planning to kill me?!" sinugod ko siya at pinaghihila yung buhok niya.

One thing that I've noticed he doesn't want anyone touching or messing with his hair. He hates it so much. He keeps on laughing while forcing my hands to let go of his hands.
