The Danger You Put in My Heart

Chapter 14

Happiest birthday

I was seating comfortably sa isang private room na may mga christmas lights and other decorations. Ang vintage ng feeling. May malaking salamin sa gilid ng table at may mga musical instruments mula pa nong unang panahon.

This place is so romantic para sa mga dates. No wonder why Veniamin chose this place.

Kamuntikmuntikan na talaga akong umiyak kanina sa harap ng receptionist, mabuti nalang ay sakin pala pinangalan ang reservation.

I was busy looking at the decorations sa room na iyon when the door opened all of a sudden.

I was locked at where I was standing nang makita kung sino ang pumasok.

"Ma'am, pindutin niyo nalang po yung call button pag oorder na kayo." nakangiting sabi nung waiter na pumasok.

I gulped down and nodded. I smiled para makabawi. Ngumiti siya at isinara ang pinto.

I held my beating heart. Akala ko si Veniamin na iyon.

It was already seven in the evening, I was looking directly sa clock. Baka late lang siya, okaya may inasikaso

I shouldn't be bothered. Tutal siya naman ang nag invite.

I waited patiently and quietly. I played games nalang munasa cellphone ko, napakain ko na ang mga pusa at nailevel up ko na ang mga furnitures ko sa adorable home pero di padin umuuwi ang asawa ko. And his name is Veniamin, malamang.

After playin, Nireview ko nadin ang mga notes na pinost sa Google classroom, I deleted some pictures from my phone that was unnecessary, and I already replied sa mga nag greet sakin mapa-Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.

It was already Eight thirty three in the evening. I decided to use the restroom muna to freshen up. Nag retouch ako ng lipgloss at nagpowder. Napatingin ako sa bintana. It was raining cats and dogs, I got worried tuloy kung pano ako makakauwi.

Lumabas ako ng Restroom at wala padin si Veniamin. I sighed, I seated uneasily sa seat ko. I pressed the call button.

Ilang seconds lang ay may kumatok sa pinto at binuksan iyon, it was the same waiter kanina.

"Yes ma'am?"

"I would like to order a glass of iced tea, please" I politely said kay kuya. He wrote it down before looking at me again "anything else, ma'am?" tanong niya, I shook my head

"no please, thank you" I smiled, he smiled back then went out to get my order.

I was sipping in my iced tea as I was scrolling in my Instagram feed. I looked at the clock again, it was already nine o'clock.

I was already pissed,tired, and very gloomy. I looked forward to this pero bakit hangang ngayon wala padin siya?

I dressed nice pa, naghanda pa ako, tapos malelate siya?

I didn't waste a second, sinearch ko agad ang name niya sa Messenger at mas lalo pang nadagdagan ang inis ko nang makitang online siya

I typed 'where you at?' I was breathing raggedly when I saw him seened and typed something

My world crumble down when I saw his reply

'home, why?'

WHAT?!

I instantly replied. I was holding my breath kasi inis na inis na ako. Tears were already forming sa gilid ng mata ko.

'bakit ka nasa bahay?' I asked him, nanlalabo na ang paningin ko dahil sa mga luha na nagbabadyang tumulo.
