Fly Your Dream (Drudgery Series 1)

12

Magka-hawak ang kamay naming dalawa habang nag-lalakad pabalik sa bahay, plano sana naming mag-stay muna saglit sa park kaso tumawag na si Daddy kay Keiko kaya bumalik na kami.

"Love?" he said in a small voice

"Hmm?"

"Thank You"

"Hm? For what?" I ask

"For saying yes to me" he said smiling before looking at me, so I bit the inside of my cheeks for him not see me smile

"Tsh, galing mo nga manligaw e, kulang na lang pati si Dad ligawan mo" I joke and we both laugh "but on a serious note, thank you for making my brother smile"

Dahil sa pag-uusap namin hindi na namin namalayan na nasa bahay na kami

"Dal-dal mo kase eh" sisi ko sakanya habang tumatawa

"Ikaw yon, wag mo ibalik sakin" sisi nya kaya tiningnan ko sya nang masama "Okay ako na madal-dal" suko nya at itinaas ang dalawang kamay nya kaya napatawa ulit ako

Pumasok na kami sa bahay, si Daddy nasa Garden padin si Mommy kasama si Jake sa kwarto sila Danica nasa living room nanonood ng movie kaya pumunta kami sa kanila, still Keiko is holding my hand feeling ko wala na syang balak pakawalan yung kamay ko

I notice Gray looking at our intertwined hands and an stranger emotion cross his eyes before looking away because of that Danica and my friends look at our hands too but Keiko is not focusing on it, his just seriously watching

I don't have a plan not to tell them so I will tell them at the right time but not now, maybe after my parents know about me and Keiko

I decided to go upstairs to change clothes, I just wear an pink over-sized hoodie and silk shorts, pag-baba ko dumeretso ako sa kitchen para kumuha ng snacks namin

Kinabukasan bumalik na ako sa condo ko, hinatid ako ni Keiko kasabay namin si Danica

"Bye Ingat" sabi ni Danica bago naunang bumaba, probably giving us a privacy

He hugged me before I go out of the car so I hugged him back, he left a kiss on my forehead before letting go of me

"Bye, take care message me when your home"

Pagka-pasok ko sa condo nilapitan na agad ako ni Danica

"So, kayo na talaga?" she ask

"Yeah" I answer before smiling tumango lang sya kaya pumasok na ako sa kwarto ko at mag-pahinga, I feel sleepy siguro dahil late na kami natulog kagabi tapos maaga kami ginising ni Mom dahil gusto nyang sabay kaming lahat mag-breakfast

Alam na din ng parents ko yung about samin ni Keiko

Hindi ko na namalayan na naka-tulog na ako, nagising na lang ako dahil naramdaman kong ini-aalog ni Danica ang balikat ko, napa-tingin ako sa labas at pabaligwas ako nang mapansin kong gabi agad kong kinuha ang phone ko para i-message si Keiko si Danica naman ay lumabas na ng kwarto ko

"Hello?" I immediately answer his call "I'm sorry, I fell asleep"

"No, it's okay go back to sleep and rest"

"Okay, bye see you tomorrow"

"Love You" he said, God I think I just blushed with that

"Love you too" I said, preventing to stutter

"Wusshu, tama na yan, kakain na tayo" gulat akong napatingin sa pinto ng makita ko si Danica doon na nakikinig pala sa usapan namin at nakangiti pa talaga
