Me & You: Between Life And Death (COMPLETE)

Chapter 18

Before the year about to end, I was so glad that I got a chance to talk to Jason. It went great because he really do understand my reasons, he respect it and we’re still friends.

Time flies so fast, you'll never know... It's been six weeks since my birthday and it’s only one week before Christmas. I can't wait to spend my holidays with my family and with my love. Wait for us, Coron, Palawan...

Katatapos lang namin ni Adriel manuod ng movie then right after, we went at NBS because I'm going to buy my new journal for next year.

“What’s your favorite color?” he asked staring at me while leaning his back on the bookshelves and his hands were on his pocket.

“Black and white but most likely neutral colors,” I answered and stared at him because he's been staring at me for a while. Adriel looks good on his white buttoned down shirt na open ang three buttons kaya kita mo ang chest nito, he fold its sleeves at tanaw mo ang casual black watch niya, he paired it with his black straight short and his black loafer shoes. 

Black and white ang theme ng outfit niya ngayon habang ako ay nakahigh-waisted denim jeans paired with my tucked-in black sweaters and black sneakers. My hair’s messy top knot at hindi rin ako nagmake up...

“Can I read your journal?” He whispered to my ear. My eyes round dahil nakiliti ako sa hininga niya, idagdag mo pa ang mabango niyang manly scent na kanina ko pa hindi mapigilang amoyin ng amoyin habang nakasandal sa balikat niya sa loob ng sinehan.

“No,” sambit ko habang patuloy pa rin sa paghahanap ng journal. Marami namang nandito pero wala dito ang hinahanap ko.

“Why?” He asked habang nakangisi. I just shrugged and he just chuckled.

I don’t want to hand him my journal dahil maliban sa personal stuff ko iyon ay meron rin kasi akong isinulat roon na ayokong mabasa niya... Huminto na rin siya sa pangungulit sa akin nang umalis na kami sa NBS at kumain then right after ay umuwi.

Kung bibilangin ko ang bawat araw na pinapanuod ang dapithapon kasama si Adriel ay hindi na sapat ang mga daliri ko sa kamay at paa. I think that's the best part of our relationship... giving time for each other. Even if we were so busy about school stuffs lately, we'll be able to find our ways to be together...

Days passed by so fast. We’re off to the airport dahil ngayon na ang flight namin papuntang Coron, Palawan. Mom said that it was our fifth time to celebrate our Christmas there.

“Hello, Adriel!” Mom greeted nang makita niya si Adriel sa harap ng departure area.

“Hello po, Tita and Tito,” bati niya sabay mano kay Mom and Dad.

“God bless you, Adriel,” Dad stated while smiling.

“Naku, Adriel! Beso nalang dahil mabilis akong tatanda niyan,” biro ni Mom.

“Sige po, tita,” he politely stated. Ramdam ko na comfortable na kami ni Adriel sa harap nilang lahat, hindi na kami ilang at nahihiya dahil siguro sa mga nagdaang araw ay mas nakikilala pa namin ang isa’t-isa.

After one hour and twenty minutes ay nandito na kami sa Busuanga Airport. Pagkalabas namin ay may babaeng kumakaway sa amin.

“Hello, Chelsy!” Mom shouted sabay yakap ng mahigpit sa kanya.

“Hello po, tita Chelsy!” Kuya greeted her and smiled.

“Hello Stephen! Grabe binata ka na!” Ngumisi lang si Kuya at napakamot sa ulo nito. Tumingin sa akin si Tita Chelsy, naglakad palapit at niyakap ako.

“I’m happy that you’re okay now,” she stated happily. She held my shoulders and smiled at me.

“Hello po tita,” nahihiya kong bati sa kanya.
