Blue Flame (Completed)

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Wanting to know so much about my biological parents, I tried searching about them. Pero mahirap silang hanapin. There are so many people named Coleen Ortaleza and Carter Legaspi, and I don't know how do they look.

I once saw my mother's picture but I don't clearly remember how she looks, or maybe I just didn't bother to remember, because I never thought that woman is really my mother.

I thought it will be easy for me to see details about them, dahil si Mommy at Tita Glacier ay nahahanap ko naman sa search engine. The three of them were friends, that means my mother came from a rich family too right? Or not? And my father?

Huminga ako ng malalim nang sa huli kong pagsubok sa paghahanap ng impormasyon ay wala pa rin akong nakita.

Kanina ko pa naiisip tawagan si Calvin para humingi ng tulong pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin. Should I tell him the truth? If I need help I should also tell him the truth right?

Sa gitna ng pag-iisip ay bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok si Ice. His eyes found me immediately on his bed. Ngumiti siya at lumapit.

"Hi, what are you doing?" Umupo siya sa tabi ko at tinignan ang laptop niyang ginagamit ko.

I bit my lower lip, "I was just trying to search about my parents."

Tumango siya at tumitig sa akin. Hinawakan niya ang gitla sa gitna ng aking noo at marahan iyong hinaplos. Napatitig ako sa kaniya dahil sa ginagawa niya.

"Don't stress yourself too much baby. Hindi na masyadong mainit, do you want to swim?" Sabay lingon niya sa infinity pool sa labas na sinundan ko rin ng tingin.

He's right, hapon na at hindi na mainit. The view of the infinity pool is suddenly inviting.

I looked back at him and caught him watching me, "H-How about you?"

After mag-lunch ay nasa study na siya at may mga importanteng ginagawa. He couldn't leave today because I'm here. Bahagya akong na-guilty dahil alam kong may sarili ring problema ang pamilya niya pero narito siya at sinasamahan ako.

"You know, I'll be fine here. You can go to your house and work with Kuya Ace there instead. Hindi naman ako aalis dito, wala naman akong ibang pupuntahan."

He shook his head, marahan niyang hinaplos ang pisngi ko. "I'll stay here, I won't leave you alone."

"But your mom needs you too.."

He smiled, "Mom will understand me. You need me so I will be here for you.."

Tumango ako. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niyang nasa pisngi ko, "Thank you, hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kung wala ka Ice.."

"I love you, I will aways be here for you, remember that okay? Kahit ano pa ang mangyari, kahit dumating tayo sa puntong itataboy mo ulit ako, hinding-hindi pa rin kita iiwan.."

Kumunot ang noo ko, "Why are you saying that again?"

He smiled. Yumuko siya at umiling. Nang nag-angat muli ng tingin ay hinila niya ako at niyakap.

"I love you baby,"

I smiled, "I love you too."

We stayed there hugging each other for a while. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pakiramdam ko ay may kakaiba kay Ice sa mga oras na iyon. His hug is so tight and I even caught him teary-eyed, he was telling me he loves me over and over again. Natatawa nalang ako dahil paulit-ulit niya iyong sinasabi habang hinahalikan ako sa pisngi.

Maybe he's just trying to comfort me and he was successful on that part. Gumaan ang pakiramdam ko, lalo na dahil alam kong mayroon pa rin akong Ice, mayroon pa rin akong siya, na hindi ako iiwan kahit kailan.
