Bukas Hindi Na Ikaw

Chapter 21

Prente akong naka upo ngayon sa gray leather couch ng penthouse ni Emman habang hinihintay ko siyang bumalik. Kani kanina lamang ay nag tungo siya sa kwarto niya para mag palit ng damit, ilang metro lamang ang layo mula sa pwesto ko.

Matapos naming mag lambingan sa parking lot ay napag desisyonan ko na gamutin muna ang mga sugat at pasa sa mukha niya.

Ang sabi ko pa nga ay sa clinic na lamang ng school ko 'iyon gagamutin pero hindi siya pumayag, at gusto niyang dito na lang kami sa penthouse niya. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit.

Ewan ko lang kung may binabalak siyang masama sa 'kin or what, char!

Naka ilang beses ko siyang pinilit na huwag na at sa clinic lang kako dahil nahihiya ako hindi rin siya nagpatalo.

At sino ba naman ako para humindi? Grasya na ang lumalapit, mag iinarte pa ba 'ko. Charot.

Magkahiwalay kaming nag tungo rito dahil tulad ko ay may dala rin siyang sasakyan.

Inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kabuoan ng penthouse niya. Kanina pa ako nahihiya sa kalinisan ng pad niya eh. Napaka layo sa kwarto ko na bibihira ko lang linisin.

As I roam my eyes around, I couldn't help but to get fascinated by how organized and how minimalist his pad is. I've got no idea how does a guy like Emmanuel keeps his place well polished and unsoiled. This is far from what I expected.

I thought it would be quite messy cause he's a guy, you know, it's guys nature to keep everything messy, Lol.

His walls were painted clean white and the chandelier hanging on the ceiling was rose gold. There are less figurines but more abstract placed in his wall hanging cabinet.

The couch was leather and color gray, so cozy. Also, there's a big lamp shade beside his couch and a black nightstand. Center table was placed on the middle, it was on top of the white carpet.

Sinong hindi mahihiya sa kalinisan ng pad niya?

It's my first time being in here, so I'm a bit surprised. Sobrang organized niya pala talaga.

I was smiling from ear to ear as I tapped my fingers above my knees while still waiting for him. I don't know what's taking him so long, but it doesn't matter to me naman. I can wait. Jusko, nagawa ko nga siyang intayin ng six year, ano ba naman yung ilang oras diba?

Natawa na lang ako sa sarili ko at ipinalibot muli ang mata.

My eyes have accidentally landed on the clean white wall on my left side. My lips formed into a wider smile.

There are tons of architectural paintings hanging on his wall, some are gothic medieval art, a modern architecture, but most of it were architectural paintings during the renaissance.

It was quintessential, it gives me goosebumps. Especially the renaissance, it looks as if it was the classic 14th century paintings.

I guess he's collecting architectural paintings.

He's an art enthusiast, I'm really not surprised.

Napaka raming paintings ang nakasabit sa wall niya. Ngunit ang pinaka pumukaw sa atensyon ko ay ang nasa pinaka sentro noon. Ito ang pinaka malaking painting na naka sabit roon.

Napatayo tuloy ako sa kinauupuan ko at nilapitan 'iyon.

By the looks of it, it was an abandoned garden beneath the heavy rain. The clouds looks very realistic. The garden was guarded by two little fellas, the little boy was seating on the grass while the little girl was standing beside him and handing an umbrella, keeping the little boy from getting wet by raindrops. The garden was also surrounded by massive trees, and there are scattered leaves on the ground.
