I know what you did last Summer

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Wala na akong ginawa kundi ang bumungisngis lang sa buong biaje namin ni Gio. Hindi ko alam kong saan ko hinuhugot ang matinding kasiyahan na nararamdaman ko. Basta ang alam ko ay naguumapaw ang saya sa puso ko lalo na't magkasama na naman kaming dalawa.

Kinuha nya ang kamay ko at pinagsalop sa kanya habang nagmamaneho. Nagsisiliparan at nagbubunyi ang mga paru-paru sa loob ng aking tiyan. Sinulyapan ko sya at nakita ang paulit-ulit nyang pagangat at paghalik sa mga daliri ko sa kamay. Ngumiti ako at nagkagat ng labi.

"Even if I'm playing with the fire... Even if I'm doing it for all my life..." Tumawa ako nang marinig na sinasabayan nya ang tutog sa galing sa kanyang stereo.

"I love that song." Sabi ko.

"In another lifetime, I will never change my mind. I would do it again. Oh... a thousand times." Kanta nya and kissed the back of my hand.

"Wow. You're a good singer." Sabi ko.

"Maliit na bagay." He shrugged his shoulders and grin at me with so much conceits. I playfully roll my eyes on him.

"Tsss. Yabang!" Sabi ko. Humalakhak lang sya.

The sound of his laugh makes me so happy. Sa tuwing masaya sya, pakiramdam ko ay may kong ano sa aking nabubuhay. I love hearing him laugh. I love it when his happy. Genuinely happy. Because it makes me so happy, too. That makes me realized that this is what truly happiness felt like. Just be with him and nothing else.

"You look so happy." Ani nya sa akin nang sulyapan ako.

"I am happy!" Sagot ko.

His smile is beaming and I can't help but to stare. I am aware of everything and notice even the littlest move he makes. From how his long and thick eyelashes blinks so constantly when he's annoying me, of how the pupil in his dusky eyes always dilated whenever he tells me that he loves me, of how his jaw moves so aggressively whenever he's talking, of how the sound of his voice gives me butterflies, of how he wet and moist his lip as if he was always inviting mine... Everything... Every little things.

Nanatili ang titig ko sa kanya, pinagmamasdan ang kabuuhan nang kanyang mala diyos na kagwapuhan. He looks so gorgeous as if he's not real. Nababaliw na ata ako. Pero ganito ba talaga 'yon? Just staring at him makes me realized how much I love him now. Sa araw-araw ay mas lalo kong napapatunayan ang makamundong magmamahal ko sa kanya. Never in my life that I have imagine that I am capable of loving someone this much. All of these emotions and feelings that I felt for him is heaping.

"Gio, are you happy?" that's the most important question.

Sandali syang tumingin sa akin. Pinagmasdan ko kong paano nangislap ang mga mata nya ng dahil sa tanong ko.

"So... fucking happy and it feel surreal. For once, I don't have to try to be happy. It just happens when I'm with you." Aniya na nagpangiti sa akin.

Maya-maya pa ay inihinto narin nya ang sasakyan nang makarating kami. Manghang-mangha ako habang pinapasadahan ng tingin ang berdeng mga bundok at paligid. Malinis at iba't-ibang klase at kulay nang bulaklak ang nakapalibot sa malawak na kapatagan.
