ToGetHer Forever

Catorce

Vincien and Kristene stayed up cuddling with each other. Gusto na sanang patulugin ni Vincien si Kristene pero hindi pa raw ito inaantok dahil maghapon itong nakatulog.

Humingi pa nga ito ng extension sa kanya na hanggang alas dos lang daw at sabay na silang matutulog. Wala na rin nagawa pa si Vincien dahil mukhang ayos na rin naman ang pakiramdam ni Kristene.

Sobra syang overwhelmed sa regalo sa kanya ni Kristene. Sobrang nagustuhan nya ito. Ito ang pinaka-special na regalo na natanggap nya. Regalo para sa birthday nya at ang regalo na sinagot rin sya nito sa araw mismo ng birthday nya. At malamang, araw-araw nya itong titignan.

Oo nga pala, naalala nya. Itatanong nga pala nya kung bakit nagkasakit ang girlfriend nya.

Girlfriend.

Hindi pa rin talaga sya makapaniwala. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam. Yun dating pinapangarap lang nya, ngayon abot kamay na nya, girlfriend nya pa.

"K?"

Kristene looked up to him and smiled. "Hmm?"

Magkatabi kasi silang nakahiga ngayon at tulad ng nakagawian, Kristene's head is on his chest, while his arm is wrapped around her body.

"What happened? Bakit ka nagkasakit?"

Vincien saw Kristene bit her lower lip. Mukhang may kasalanan nanaman ito sa kanya. Kilalang-kilala nya talaga si Kristene. At pag napakagat ito sa ibabang labi, it's either she's shy, or she did something.

"K..." He said in a warning tone.

Kristene intertwined her hand with his hand. "Promise me you won't get mad at me V please? Just this once?"

Kailan ba sya nagalit kay Kristene? Tampo oo pero galit? Never. Hindi nya ata kayang magalit dito. Masyado nya itong mahal.

"I'm not promising K. Let me hear your explanation first and that's the time when I'll decide if I'll get mad at you or not." Sinabi nya nalang kahit ang totoo, hindi naman talaga sya magagalit dito.

Kristene pouted. "Ayoko kasing magalit ka eh."

He sighed. "I won't If you'll tell me the truth."

"Okay. Uhm..." Umayos ito ng pagkakahiga at isinubsob ang mukha nito sa leeg nya. "I spent three nights uhm... well, outside during the time where I can clearly see the planets and the constellation. Doing some tweaks on my phone, until I get the right ISO and shutter speed. As you can see on my gift for you, nakuhaan ko naman ng malinaw at maganda. Sa puyat and lamig siguro kaya ako nagkasakit. Sorry?" Then she pressed her lips on his neck.

Nagulat sya sa sinabi ni Kristene. And right now? He's touched. He felt very important. He felt very special. She got sick because of what she did for him. At paano naman sya magagalit dito? Not gonna happen. Never.

At dahil sa nalaman, niyakap nya ng mas mahigpit si Kristene at iginiya ito na mahiga sa ibabaw nya.

Kristene obliged. She rested herself on Vincien's body while still nuzzling his neck.

"Are you mad at me V?"

He gently caress her hair. "Of course not! Knowing you got sick because of what you did for me. I was actually touched and overwhelmed K. At para naman kaya kong magalit sayo."

"Really?" Kristene asked.

"Yes. And because of that, I wanted to say thank you so much for the gift. Now that I know that you made so much effort to the point that you got sick, I really appreciate it promise. I will treasure your gift K. And for sure, palagi kong titignan yon."
