Blue Night

TEN

Pagmulat ng aking mata. Nakita kong nakahinto na ang sasakyan. Bumaling ako sa kasama ko. At nakita kong prete lang syang nakikinig ng mga kanta.

"Bakit hindi mo ko ginising ?" I ask him.

Bumukas naman ang kanyang mga mata at tinignan ako. He smile geniune at me.

"I don't want to disturb your sleep so I just wait until you wake up." He said.

At parang may humaplos naman sa puso ko sa pagiging caring nya sakin.

At eto nanaman. Bumilis nanaman ang tibok ng puso ko. I look at him intently na para bang binabasa ko kung anung pinahihiwatig ng mga salita nya.

"Can I ask a question ?" I said and look at him with a serious face.

He just nodded lumapit naman ako sakanya ng bahagya. At parang nagulat pa sya sa paglapit ko.

"Do you like me ?" I ask him still looking straight in his eyes.

"What if, I like you." He gulped. And seriousness is evident in his eyes.

"Pwes ngayon palang binabasted na kita." I said at lumayo na sakanya.

"Ouch. That's hurt sweetheart." He said. At hinawakan pa ang kanyang dibdib na tila ba nasasaktan talaga sya.

He then look at me with dark eyes. Na tila ba hindi nya matanggap ang sinabi ko.

Lumapit sya sakin kaya napalunok nalang ako ng bahagya nyang hinawakan ang pisngi ko. Hinaplos nya ang pisngo ko. At tinitigan with amusement in his eyes.

He lean forward at me and whisper.

"Don't worry I prove my self to you. And if that time would come. I will make sure your gonna be my wife." He said with full of desire and love in his eyes. As he look at me.

Love ? Hindi guni guni nya lang un. At lumayo na ito saakin.

I face him more.

"Oh well sorry to burst your bubble boss. Because I never fell on you." I said

Tumawa lang ito at napailing. Binuksan ko naman ang pinto ng passenger seat at lumabas ng sasakyan.

Naiirita ko sa mukha ng lalaking makakasama ko ng isang linggo.

Pagpasok palang nila ng hotel. Pinakilala ko na agad si Arc sa mga staff para makilala nila ang new president.

Binigyan naman nila kami ng magandang service kahit biglaan ang pagpunta namin. Well maganda na din kung biglaan para malaman na din namin kung nagtatrabaho ba sila ng maayos.

As I went to my hotel room. Agad kong hiniga ang katawan ko sa kama. Hindi pa din mawala sa isip ko ang napagtalunan namin ni Arc kanina.

Sinasabi ng isip ko na ayoko. Hindi dapat. Pero ang puso ko. Iba ang nilalaman. Iba ang sinasabi.

Nakakatakot oo. Pero isa lang ang alam ko. Oras na pinigilan ko to. Mas lalong uusbong ang nararamdaman ko para kay Arc. And I admit I like him the way he likes me too.

Hindi sya makapagpahinga sa naiisip. Kaya kinuha nya ang tsinelas nya at lumabas ng kanyang hotel room.

She went to a near by restaurant para kahit papano marefresh ang utak nya.

She ordered coffee at puwesto sa malapit sa bintana. Well this hotel serve a lot in nature. I guess.

She quietly sip her coffee. At pinagmamasdan ang magandang tanawin. Whem someone interrupt her.

"Can I share a table with you Aph?" A man voice said.

At hindi na nya kailangan lingunin pa kung sino ito. Dahil alam na alam nya ang boses na yun. Ang boses ng taong nagpapabilis ng tibok ng puso nya.

Hinarap ko ito at nginitian. Na sya namang pagupo nito sa harapan ko.

"Are you following me Boss?" I ask at tinaasan sya ng kilay.

He left out a soft chuckle. That looks sexy on him.

Shit ano ba tong naiisip ko.

"I'll courting you remember?" He said and struggle his shoulders.

"Basted kana nga diba ?" I said breaking his confidence.

"Can you please give me a chance ?" He look at me with begging in his eyes.

"And what you will do if I give you a chance ?" I ask him

"Well I do offer you a lot, but I'm just offer you a happiness." He said and smiled lovingly at me.

Hindi ko naman maitago sakanya ang pagiinit ng aking pisngi.

I looked away at him and sip my coffee.

"Hmmm" i said. While nodded my head.

As I look at the window. I'm thinking what if I give him a chance? Or not ?

Sabi ng isip ko hindi. Pero iba naman ang sinasabi ng puso ko.

Hindi ko alam kung alin ba. Pero isa lang ang sigurado ako. Gusto ko sya. At kahit papano malaki ang nagagawa nyang puwang sa aking puso.

"So may I know what's your thinking ?" Basag nya sa katahimikan.

I look at him with a serious face. And he gulped.

"Well I'm thinking that I should give you a chance." I said and smile genuine at him.

He suddenly look sad and down. Then when finally he realize what I've said. Unti unting rumihistro sa mukha nya ang gulat.

His lips form in O as his eyes wided. Para bang hindi ito makapaniwala sa narinig.

I laugh so hard at her reaction. Really he amued me a lot of times.

"Your face is priceless and epic Arc." I said in between laughs.

His eyes widen more. And his finger pointed at me.

"What ?" I ask, ng makabawi na sa pagtawa.

"You laugh." He said and look at me with awe.

Sumimangot naman ako. At inismiran sya

"Anong tingin mo sakin ? Alien ?" I tsked and rolled my eyes at him.

"Nope more like you look like a queen in my eyes." He said.

And my cheeck get blush on what he say.
Napailing nalang ako at uminom ng kape para maitago ang munting ngiti na sumisilay sa aking labi.

"So may I ask a questions about you personally." He ask.

"Why ?" I ask back.

"I want to know you more sweetheart." He said.

Binaba nya ang hawak na coffee at seryoso itong tinignan.

"Sorry, but for a suitor like you. Its good if you found it yourself. As I found yours too." I simply said. As I challange him

He look at me with amused face as if I'm a different.

"For a woman like you. You were far far different." He said.

"Nahh. I don't want an interrogation that's why. At ayoko lang na mageexpect ka sakin ng kung anu anu." Sabi ko at nagkibit balikat.

"I see." He said and smiled sweetly at me.

I just smile back to ease my tension behind his questions. Sa totoo lang hindi ko alam kung magugustuhan mo pa ba ko if malalaman mo lahat lahat ng tungkol saakin.

I wish if that day come your love is faithful for me. That no one can break it. That even the world can't break it.

Because if not. Well I must say your love is just a one tap.

Just don't judge me Arc if you discover my little fucking secret.
