Windy sunday afternoon, while my body is in a half resting position on my bed's headboard, and my feet are just hanging at a one side, and while waiting for Vince's call, I suddenly remembered what happened last night. I still can't process it all. In just span of six dims. Six. And I've already fallen deeper.
Reminiscing from the time he appeared himself infront of me, in the middle of the dark lakeside, to the dims he was with me whenever I feel the aloneness under the moon, then to the moment his comfort passionately embraced me and up to our memorable last night. Our last dim before this day wherein, heart-melting and scorching kisses boldly revealed our love for each other.
Sunset was almost approaching right now. Its comforting wind embraced my skin, coming from the opened glass sliding door and long silky curtains of my veranda. Dinama ko ang preskong hanging umiihip sa aking mahaba at maalong buhok.
I wore a blush pink high slit bodycon silky dress with my florid accessories on my neck, ears, wrists, fingers and even on my ankle. A light make up with matte lipstick, and little coiffure with my hair finished my dressing up earlier at exactly one in the afternoon. I know I'm too early to be prepared but I just can't control my happiness from being too energetic and maligalig today.
At sa sobrang saya ko, maya't maya ang tingin ko sa aking phone. I have no work ngayong araw kaya hindi kami nagkita. Pero kahit pa nakaraming text messages at calls siya kagabi at kaninang umaga, we didn't talked yet after lunch and up to now. For Vince said that he's preparing some surprise for our dinner.
Pero mukhang ayaw ko ng ideyang hanggang ngayon wala pa ring mga mensahe at tawag na nanggagaling sa kaniya. Parang hindi na ulit ako sanay. Really, Inna? Hindi sanay? After six years, bumalik lang sa'yo ng anim na gabi, tapos ngayong ilang oras pa lang na hindi nakakausap, hindi na sanay na wala? Wow!
Ngumuso at sumimangot na lang ako sa aking sarili. I don't want to bother him, though. I know I must give him this moment as how he wants it. I sighed. Take your time, baby.
Pero ano na bang ginagawa niya ngayon? Pasado alas singko na ng hapon, ah? Six in the evening pa ba siya tatawag? Ang tagal naman, non! I want it to be right now na! I want to see him, hug him and kiss him already!
I bite my lower lip as I hugged my fuchsia shaded cushy pillow. Ganito ako lagi, tuwing hindi kami magkasama. It always bother me to think about Vince and I know he's just too much. I am always spacing out when he explores in my mind.
At naging lutang nga ulit ako sa halos dalawampung minuto. But my sister's voice is always such a powerful siren to wake me up from my daydreams. Tila'y milyon-milyong katok ang ibinibigay ni ate sa pintuan ng suite ko.
"Inna! Inna! Xelleinna!"
"Wait lang ate!" I shouted back.
"Open the door! Shit! Inna!" what is it ba? Is she too excited like me?
I stood and wore my high black Stilletos while shaking my head.
"Xelleinna Blaze! Bilisan mo at may sasabihin ako sa'yo!" heto na naman siya.
Patuloy pa rin ang malalakas na katok at sinabayan pa ng mga pindot sa door bell ng suite ko. Halos matawa ako sa ginagawa niya.
"Ano ba, Inna! This is important! The hell—" isang malakas na kalabog ang binigay ni Ate Anna.
"Just open the freaking door!"
Bumagal pa ang pagkilos ko nang balikan ang black classical coffee table to get my elaborated remote control, para isarado ang pinto at kurtina ng aking veranda.
"I am almost there!"
"Hurry up! Ano ba, bilisan mo! O sisirain ko na 'to?" galit na ang boses ni ate pero tingin ko'y naiirita lang iyon sa bagal ko.
