Then There Was You

31

Den's POV

I went straight to our room once I got home. Naabutan kong natutulog si Aly, I tried not to make any sound while I'm taking off my clothes. I notice his phone light up. I slowly took it and opened it. He has lots of messages. Some of them was from his Secretary. Saying that 'they are shock', that 'it's alright, he can just rest and go back if he change his mind', then I saw another message, it's a photo, I opened it and saw that it's me and Chen seating on a cafe near the company. I shook my head. Ito ba yung gumugulo sa isipan niya these past few days? I scrolled and read the messages, Aly never replied, it came from an unregistered number. I dialed it using my phone but no one answered. I still scrolled the messages, mostly it was me with Chen. Yes, I admit that we meet a lot and hindi ko sinasabi kay Aly. Mali ako sa part na yon, but I know he'll scold me if he finds out that I'm doing some revenge.

I felt Aly move, I placed his phone on the night stand and continued removing my make up before hitting the shower.

When I went out of the bathroom, I'm already wearing my nightgown, I used the blower to dry my hair then I lay next to Aly, I hugged him. Alam kong magigising siya pag malikot ako and I don't want to disturb him. He really looks tired, he lost some weight. I traced his face using my index finger.

"Bakit hindi mo ko tinatanong?" I whispered.

"Galit ka ba sakin?" I said again.

He's still sleeping. Himala ah, napaka himbing ng tulog niya. I check his breathing. Dad always told me to check Aly's breathing, I don't know why but he always ask me to do that.

"You're home..." He whispered while his eyes are still closed.

"Yes. You want me to cook for you?" I ask.

"Stay." He gently said.

I smiled at him when he opened his eyes and look at me. He hugs me tighter leaving no space between us.

"Ly, I'll ask you something."

"Sure, go ahead."

"Why can't you drive?"

"I can drive. It's just that Dad never lets me."

"Because?"

"Because, when I was a kid, I lost consciousness when I was on the backseat."

"Why?"

"Kasi we were heading home, the road on the way here is narrow, then may nakasalubong kaming truck and I thought tatama sa amin then nahimatay ako. So, every time I tried to drive, I'm really not that comfortable. Iniisip ko parin na babangga sakin yung nakaka salubong ko na sasakyan." He explained.

"Oh. That's why." I said then kissed his cheek.

We decided to eat dinner later and just stay on our bed cuddling.
