I'm Coming Back, Manila

34

"What do you mean? Para ka namang aalis. Aalis ka ba?" 

He said while focusing on the road while driving. Pabalik na rin kasi kami ng Taguig and we decided to drive-thru our foods na lang para mas mapabilis kami. Anyway, hindi ko pa rin sinagot si Caeleb hanggang makauwi kami. Ayoko lang mag sinungaling at the same time, ayokong aminin din sa kaniya.

The next day, nagising ako dahil ang ingay ni Caeleb. I opened my eyes and I saw him wearing his clothes, san kaya 'to pupunta? I rubbed my eyes and sat down on the bed. 

"San ka?" I asked. 

"Maligo ka na." He said. 

"H-Ha? Bakit pati ako?" My brows met. 

"Sasamahan mo naman ako sa Nueva Ecija. Sinamahan kita kahapon sa Valenzuela!" Tinaasan niya 'ko ng kilay. Parang kasalanan ko pa?

"Eh, paano kapag ayoko?" I looked at him, nangaasar lang ako.

"Sige na?" Malambing niyang sinabi. "Please? This is just an important matter." He pouted. "After kong makausap sila Mama, babalik din agad tayo ng Manila or pwede tayong pumunta ng beach or hiking... If you want to?" He gave me a cute smile.

Mas lalo akong pinapahirapan ni Caeleb. Ang hirap nyang iwanan. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa kaniya lahat. Siguro hahanap ako ng magandang oras para sabihin sa kaniya lahat. Hindi ko talaga alam.

After taking a bath, I chose the outfit that I'm going to wear. I was wearing a simple maroon cropped-top that hugs my body just fine partnered with a maong jeans and white shoes. I ixed my hair into bun and put some light make-up to look presentable naman.

We pack our things together na rin para isahang bitbit na lang kami. We don't know If we will do hiking or beach. Hindi ko alam plano ni Caeleb.

"Let's go?" I asked Caeleb while spraying some perfume on my neck.

"Let's go." He offered me a hand.

"Wait. yung tote bag ko." Sabi ko at naghanap.

"Ito na." He raised his hand where he was holding my bag.

"Thank you." I chuckled. I held his hand and I let him intertwined our hands together before going back.

Nang makababa kami si Aling Luz ang sumalubong samin. "San kayo? Parang aalis ang mag-asawa ah?" She looked at us full of adoration.

"Hindi po mag-asawa." I smiled.

"Manang, hindi ata kami makakauwi for 3 days. Ikaw na bahala sa bahay. You own this!" Caeleb nods and smiled.

"Nako ka talagang bata ka! Mag-iingat kayo ha? Bigyan niyo 'ko ng batang maaalagaan." Alin Luz chuckled.
