Chapter 20

"How are you?" He asked while driving to somewhere.

Oh, how miss him. I can't help but to noticed every inch of him. Parang galing pa yata siya sa barbershop, obvious kasi na bagong gupit at ahit.

"I'm great!." Medyo excited kong sagot. He chuckled a bit. It's too late to realized.

Uminit ang pisngi ko.

"Congratulations..." He said sweetly.

Hindi na talaga natanggal ang mata ko sa kanya na para bang kung kukurap ako ay maglalaho siya. I smiled genuinely.

"let's have an exclusive celebration at my place. I already prepared something. If it still not too late..."

"Of course!!" Agap ko. Hindi ko pa naman nakita ang hinanda niya ay naappreciate ko na agad ito.

All I want is a little time of him.

Hindi nagtagal ay nakarating nga kami sa penthouse niya. Kasing laki ito sa Kay mommy niya, kaya lang ay mas moderno at halos dalawang kulay lamang ang naroon. Very manly. Lahat nakaayos at sobrang linis. I wonder if he still on his condo.

He guide me to his dining and to my surprise ay may cake sa kanyang mesa. It has my face animated and a small candle. My wine at ibang sweets pa. May gold and black na balloons. Mga sampo lang siguro at nagkalat ito kasama ang small cuts ng foil.

I am so overwhelmed. Hindi ko inakala ito sa isang katulad niya.

"You like it?" He hugged me from behind and kissed my hair.

I find it very sweet.

"No! I love it!" I giggled.

"Ginawa mo to?" Mangha at may pagdududa kung tanong sabay ikot upang makita siya.

He humbly massage his nape.

"Yeah... But I got the idea from the internet. Pinabili ko lang mga iyan.. except the cake. At ako na ang nagkalat pagdating ko."

Mas lalo akong namangha at ngumusi. He has this cheesy side pala. Hindi ko napigilan ang yakapin siya.

"I love them all. I appreciate it so much. Thank you." I hugged him tighter as he hugged me back.

We enjoyed the little celebration he prepared for me. Kwentuhan at tawanan tulad ng dati. I feel so light and very happy. I took photos of us and the things he prepared. Kung pwede lang e uwi ang mga ito ay ginawa ko na. I laugh at the thought.

I feel a little disappointment when he took me home late afternoon. Even though I know the reason why still we just had a little time together. I sadly wave him goodbye. Ilang sandali pa nga akong natulala sa aming gate na nilabasan ng kanyang sasakyan.

"Honey..." I heard moms sweet voice from behind.

Nilingon ko siya. She smiled at the moment.

I smiled too.

"Yes mom?"

She look weary after the smile. Nagulat naman ako.

"Nagkamabutihan na ba uli kayo ni Rain?" Marahan ngunit straight to the point na tanong niya.

Napakagat labi tuloy ako.

"You know his situation, right?" Dagdag pa niya na mas lalong nagpaseryoso  sa kanya.

Of course! But how would I explain it to her gayong mamaya pa malalaman ang resulta sa gagawin ni Rain.

"I know mom." Tanging naisagot ko at bahagyang yumuko. I feel a little pain.
