Chapter 114: For a Reason

Lluvia's

I suddenly felt blue after thinking of what she told to Perseus. There's this feeling again and I totally don't like it. It makes me doubt myself and I hecking hate it.

Nawala ang pag-iisip ko nang maramdaman ang kamay ni Perseus sa baba ko. He lifts my head up.

"My Andromeda---"

"Perseus, what if it is true?" pagputol ko sa sasabihin nya.

"I love you without any circumstances, my Andromeda. If its true--? So what? Kung sinasabi nyang wala lang akong experience sa iba, well it's fine. I don't want to experience these to someone else. She thinks that I only have no choice? Na stuck lang ako sa'yo? Then I'm completely happy that the person I'm stucked with is you, my Andromeda." he said showing all the concerns in every word.

Why am I so lucky with this guy? Heck it. Do I really deserve these? Well. I hug Perseus as a response for what he said. Words can't explain how happy I am right now.

"Pero--" I paused. Humiwalay ako sa yakap, "If you'd known that. Bakit ka pa nagpapanic?"

"I was nervous of how would you react to the kiss. Akala ko sasabunutan mo sya agad." sabi naman nya kaya napatawa ako.

"Nanonood ka na ba ngayon ng teleserye kaya ganyan mga iniisip mo ha?" tatawa-tawa kong tanong

Kamot-ulo naman syang sumagot, "But still! I won't let it happen again. Its a form of cheating-- kahit hindi pa sya intentionally--- I want to give you my pure truthfulness."

Hay. Masyado talaga syang mabait kahit kailan. Too perfect.

"Maligo ka na." sabi ko naman sa kanya.

Napakunot ang noo nya sa sinabi ko. Inamoy nya pa ang kili-kili nya; sarili nya tapos tiningnan ng mabuti yung damit nya. He looked at me like he was trying to know what pushes me to say that.

I laughed for a second before answering him, "I thought this day is our date?!" Natigil naman ako saglit. "Unless, you have something important to do? We can cancel it tho. Pwede na lang kitang samahan dito habang may ginagawa ka. In fact, maybe I can help."

"Baka mamaya ikaw pala ang may gagawin ha." sagot naman nya sa akin.

"Nope. Kakatapos lang naman ng mga exams. Start na kaya ng panibagong sem." I said, assuring him with a smile.

"Good. Konti na lang naman din kailangan ko ayusin and after that we can have the rest of the day." nakangiti din nyang sambit.

"So it's planned then?" I ask. Just to be sure.

"Yes." he said as he kiss me on the forehead.

Magkahawak kamay kaming bumalik sa bahay. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung paano ko pa ba haharapin yung Jane na yun. I mean, she just increase the bitch percent of hers. Kahit pa sinabi kong okay lang 'yon, dagdag pa rin yon sa bitch percent nya. Patawa na lang sya kung akala nya makukuha nya si Perseus ng ganon lang.

"I think Jane already left." Perseus said.

He's right. Pagbalik namin wala ng tao sa salas or sa kitchen plus the sound of the starting engine of vehicle is enough evidence.

Iniwan muna ako saglit ni Perseus sa lamesa at nung bumalik naman sya ay dala na nya ang hindi mabilang na mga folder na may laman na papeles.

"Where's the part that I can help?" tanong ko.

He smiled pagkatapos ay umiling, " Just sit there and watch your handsome boyfriend do the work."

Pabiro ko naman syang siniringan. Pero bago ko pa man sundin ang sinabi nya ay kumuha muna ako sa fridge ng juice at paunti-unti kong ininom habang pinapanood sya. Bigla ko namang napansin ang isang papel na nakahiwalay dun sa madami. I decided to take a look what's on it. Birth Certificate pala ni Perseus.

"Wait what? You're older than me?" I exclaimed.

"Well, I'm turning twenty-one this year." sabi nya.

"I don't have any idea." sambit ko at hindi pa rin makapaniwala.

Minutes passed, hindi ko namalayang nakatulog pala ako sa pagkaka-ub-ob ko sa lamesa. With my half-opened eyes, I caught Perseus staring at me. I lift my head and he smiles immediately.

"Makakasabay mo na kaya ako this sem?" he asked.

Bigla kong napansing wala ng mga papel sa lamesa at yung baso ko na lang na may konti pang juice ang natira.

"You finished already? Gaano ba ako katagal nakatulog?" I asked instead of answering him.

"Hours? I don't know. Sure lang ako na tapos na talaga ako sa mga gagawin ko." nakangisi nyang sambit.

"I thought it was just hecking minutes ago." I said as I rub my eyes.

"Gutom ka na ba?" he asked.

Bahagya naman akong tumango bilang pagsagot sa tanong nya.

"I know the exact place for your empty stomach." sabi naman nya.

Next thing I knew is we, standing in front of "PORTIA KARINDERYA". Malapit lang 'to sa mansion nina Perseus kaya naman naglakad lang kami papunta dito.

Umupo naman kami ni Perseus at mukhang hindi ito ang unang beses na kumain sya dito. I mean, he didn't even bother to ask me what I want to order. For sure, there's a menu he that he wants me to taste. Plus, pinagbubulungan sya ng mga babae sa likod lang ng inupuan namin;

"Uy 'yung cute na guy na naman oh."

"What? He has a girlfriend?!"

"Sayang huhu."

That's right. He has one. I feel sorry for them. Humanap na lang sila ng sarili nilang Perseus because I ain't treating them as a rival. One bitch is enough.

Napatigil ako sa iniisip ng makitang parang tangang nakangiti sa akin si Perseus, "What?"

"Wala naman. Excited na ako sa inorder ko para sa'tin. It's my favorite." he exclaimed.

I smiled, "It sure is. When did you start eating here, by the way?"

"Right. Hindi ko pa nga pala nakwento sa'yo. Back when it's my first day in the mansion, Mom treat me a meal and we ate here together. She told me that the owner of this eatery is one of her best worker in her company." kwento nya.

"So isa din pala sa may pakana ng bullshit game na 'yon?" sambit ko.

Dumating na 'yung inorder namin at nilagang manok; tinola ang hinain sa amin. May kanin ding kasunod na sinerve sa amin.

"Well, she's actually one of the worker who's against it. Pero kung pinakinggan sya ni Mom. Edi siguro hanggang ngayon virtual pa rin ako." sabi nya sabay subo ng pagkain.

"You're right." Napangiti ako. "Bullshit really does happen for a reason."
