Davinson Lucress (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1
Promise

I stayed there for the next two days bago tuluyang makalabas kinahapunan. Hindi na muling bumalik pa si Davin and I don't know why but I felt like I miss him already or was it because something else?

Everyday in the hospital I would still wait for him to appear in the door whenever I woke up but he didn't. Ito na ang araw na lalabas ako kaya excited na ang kapatid ko na madi-discharge na ako ngayong araw.

This doesn't seem to excite me though dahil sa bahay lang din naman ang bagsak ko. I am home schooled ever since kaya masasabi niyong wala akong social life, I never experienced those things mostly teenagers would relate kaya the word 'friendly' doesn't seem to fit me.

Narito ulit ako sa harapan ng rice fields kung saan ko unang nakita si Davin. I don't know why but I can't help myself staying here until the sunset. Masaya akong kumukuha ng litrato ng papalubog na araw ng may marinig akong pumaradang motor.

I felt my heart beats fast ng hindi pa naman nakakalingon at nakakasigurado kung si Davin nga iyon but I hope he is.

Nanginig ang kamay ko habang hawak-hawak ang dala kong cellphone kaya dahan-dahan ko itong ibinaba bago huminga ng malalim. I gathered all my courage and washed away my expectations before looking behind and my expectations didn't disappoint me! Leaning in his motorcycle is Davinson looking at me.

He stared at me for a few seconds before he started walking towards me. Hindi naman ako nakagalaw habang naglalakad siya papalapit sa akin kaya iniwas ko nalang ang tingin ko. Why does he looks so gorgeous even though he's just walking? Damn, me and my eyes.

"Why were you here Adayna?"tanong niya ng makalapit sa akin.

"I just enjoyed looking at the sun. How about you?"

"Napadaan lang. Nagulat nga ako ng makita ka dito after what happened."He said.

We walked passed through the rice fields at napa-upo sa may footpath sa gilid. Tahimik lang kaming dalawa habang nakatingin sa araw. I don't know why but I really feel comfortable when he's with me, parang ang gaan-gaan na ng pakiramdam ko sa kaniya gayong kakakilala ko palang sa kaniya.

For a fleeting moment our eyes met and I felt the butterflies in my stomach that evey girls would feel upon seeing those pair of alluring eyes. Hindi ko maiwasang mapatitig sa mga mata niya, it screams sadness pero kalauna'y ngumiti rin siya ngunit kitang-kita ko na hindi iyon umabot sa mga mata niya.

"You know what? The day that I accidentally hit you is the day that my girlfriend and I broke up." Pagkukwento niya sa akin kaya nagulat ako doon. I expected him to be drunk or something that made him drive recklessly but i didn't know that it was that deep.

I never expected him to open up with me just like that. Natawa naman siya dahil sa reaksiyon ko pero mahahalata mo sa mukha niya ang labis na pagkalungkot at hindi ko rin maikakaila ang pagkirot ng dibdib ko ng malaman ang balitang iyon.

"Why? What happened?"tanong ko sa kaniya kaya mapait naman siyang ngumiti.

"I caught her cheating."sabi niya bago hinilamos sa mukha ang kaniyang mga kamay. He looks so frustrated. "Hindi ko na kayanan eh. Alam mo yun? Yung tipong siya nalang yung natira, siya nalang yung nakakaintindi, siya nalang yung nandiyan, tapos mawawala pa siya bigla." He said teary eyed.

I moved closer to him and placed my hand in his hands that's on his face. Natigilan naman siya dahil doon kaya niya ibinaba ang kamay niya. He looked at me wasted kaya niyakap ko siya. I felt him cried in my shoulders but he's preventing himself to cry hard.

Tinapik ko naman ang likuran niya para patahanin siya, naalala ko tuloy ang nangyari sa akin three years ago.

"You know what? I never expected that one day a man will cry in front of me."I joked at him kaya natatawa naman siyang bumitaw sa pagkakayakap sa akin.
