Pagkauwi namin sa bahay ni Harold, hindi ako nito kinikibo at busy na busy sa harap ng phone nito at laptop.
Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako at saka dumeretso sa kwarto namin. Nagpahinga lang ako ng konti bago nag-half bath. Sinigurado ko rin na mabango ako bago lumabas ng kwarto.
Kanina ko pa pinag-iisipan kung gagawin ko ba o hindi. Pero . . . gagawin ko na lang. Takot ako. Natatakot ako na pati siya mawala sa akin.
Pero ano ba ang mangyayari sa future? Huminga muna ako nang malalim bago lumabas ng kwarto. Naka-bathrobe lang ako at ni isang panloob walang suot.
"Harold," tawag ko rito.
He didn't look at me. But I heard him groan. Lumapit ako rito at saka hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat nito at mahinang minasahe. He groaned at me again. He stopped what he was doing and faced me.
"What is it, Veronica?" He asked.
"Finally, you faced me," I said in a soft voice.
I touched his face and pinch it lightly.
"Veronica, I'm busy finding that person that wants to kill you earlier."
My eyebrow arched.
"Don't you think it's just an incident?"
"Veronica, that's not an incident. The person wants to kill you, really kill you."
"Why? Or might be the person is just scared to face criminal charges that's why he or she left."
"Still a no, Veronica. If that person really didn't mean it, then he will horn at us and show his or her car's headlights. But no, I saw the car moving fast and heading towards your direction," he said.
"I still don't get it. Why would a person do that to me if I don't know anyone here?" I asked confusingly.
"Veronica, who is the girl you have talked with earlier?" He asked.
"I don't know her but she said she is Trina Vanger. She was asking for you and she also said that she is your girlfriend."
"I don't know a person named Trina Vanger," he said. "Maybe she got the wrong house."
"You think?"
"Uh-huh. Anyway, what do you want?"
"Nothing. I just want us to talk about something," I said and smiled at him.
"Hmm?" He was grinning at me. He raised his eyebrow and scooted over.
He made me sit on his side and turn off his laptop and phone.
"So?"
"Why are you nervous all of the sudden?" I laughingly asked.
"What? This might be important so I should focus on you. And it made me nervous because I can sense something," he naughtily said and looked at what I am wearing.
I lightly slapped his face and kissed him on his cheeks.
"Do you want to know something?"
He nodded at me.
"You said you are going to court me, right?"
"Yes."
"And I think of something — it's not that I'm forcing myself, a! It's just that, I want this day to be still happy at the end. Even though something happened earlier. But let's just forget that."
"And?" he impatiently said that made me laugh.
"And . . . I have thought of that . . . It's a yes." I nodded at him.
