Will You Survive? (Inspired Series #1)

78

Masaya ang nakalipas na dalawang buwan ko. March na ngayon. Nag-aayos ako ngayon dahil nag-ayang lumabas si JD. We've been busy this past few months because of our work and personal life, but even though, we still have time for each other.

No matter how busy our days could be, we make a way for each other to meet and to have time for each other.

Palabas na ako at naabutan ko ang mga pinsan ko. Honey give me a teasing look as well as Krizza. Aris chuckled softly trying to stop her laughter. Alam kong hindi magpapahuli ang babaeng ito sa panunukso.

Tahimik ngunit ang sakit ng tinik.

Sinabi ko sa kanila ang totoo 'yong tungkol sa may ari ng Diary at ni JD ay iisa. Nagulat sila no'ng una, who wouldn't though? Ako nga, nagulat.

Umandar ang pagiging detective side ni Aris no'n. She even thought that what if JD dropped his diary on purpose. I can't disregard that thought, but it just a speculation. A speculation that can be a truth if ever.

Bakit ko ba ito pino problema? I still have a date with him. My cousins support me and JD. That's why I am so much blessed that I have a cousins like them.

Nagpaalam na ako sa kanila, paglabas ko agad ko siyang nakita. Nakasuot siya ng stripe t shirt at black jeans. Sinuklay ni JD ang kanyang buhok gamit ang kanang kamay niya bago nakapamulsang naglakad papunta sa aking gawi.

He looks like an archangel that is coming to me right now.

"Baka matunaw ako dahil diyan sa mga titig mo," pagbibirong sabi niya.

Muntik ko nang umikot ang mata ko.

"Wala naman akong kapangyarihan para tunawin ka," pabalang na sagot ko.

He snickered upon my reply. Pati pagtawa niya ang gwapo.

"Tara na," pagyaya niya. He offered his hand on me. "Can I hold your hand, Doctora?" He's asking for my consent.

I grab his hand and intertwined it with mine.

"You can always hold my hand, Architect."  Yumuko bigla si JD at nakita ko ang pamumula nang tainga niya. He's blushing. "Huwag kang kiligin, Architect, ako lang ito."

Biglang lumingon si JD sa 'kin at ngumisi bago nagsalita. "Kaya nga ako kinikilig kasi ikaw iyan . . . the doctor I love the most."

Now the table turn. I feel my cheeks burning, surely, mukha na akong naka blush on ngayon dahil sa pamumula.

"Tara na nga!"

'Tsaka kami sabay na naglakad ni JD papunta sa elevator. Paglabas namin dumiretso kami sa sasakyan ko, I represent myself to drive but JD insist. Ayaw niya raw akong mapagod pagkarating namin sa aming pupuntahan.

I beamed because of what he just told me. He's such a gentleman.

Pumasok kami sa mall at pumunta sa may skate. He hesitate first dahil hindi daw siya marunong, or perhaps he's just afraid to try.

What a cutie.

"Ako ang bahala sa 'yo. Tuturuan kita, JD, trust me with this," I assured him.

"Doctora . . ." Kinakabahan niyang sambit at humawak ng mahigpit sa 'kin. Lumingon ako sa kanya at nagtama ang aming mga tingin.

"Magtiwala ka sa 'kin, Architect. I will teach you . . . and surely you'll learn at the same time you will enjoy. Don't think of anything else, focus on me, JD," I said, and give him an assuring smile.
