Chapter 52

The next morning I woke up in bed. I felt a warm arm on my abdomen hugging me tightly. Hinila ako nito papunta sa kaniyang gawi at ilang sandali lang ay nasa likod ko na ang mainit na katawan ni Lucian.

"Morning..." he greeted in a husky voice. I also felt his warm breathe under my ear and kissed it. "How's my baby?"

"Hmm..." ani ko at umusog palayo sa kaniya bago naisipang ipikit ulit ang aking mata. Lucian sighed and get close to me again.

"What's wrong? Tell me." aniya pero hindi ako sumagot. Inangat niya ang tee shirt ko, mukhang tinitignan kung naghilom na ba ang sugat. "Your wounds are healing at the moment. What do you want? Breakfast in bed, a hot chocolate drink, toasted breads?" umiling ako sa suhestyon niya. "Kisses? Hugs? Cuddles? Sex?"

"I'm just tired, Cian." buryong tugon ko sa kaniya at bumiling ng pagkakahiga. Pagkabiling ko ay nakabukaw siya sa akin at hinalikan ako ng mabilis sa labi.

"You want to sleep more, huh?" humalik ulit siya at bumaba ng kama bago nagpunta papalapit sa bintana at isinara ito. Bahagyang dumilim sa kwarto dahil hindi na nakakapasok ang liwanag mula sa labas.

"Ayos na ba?" he asked and lay beside me again.

"Hmm-kay." I said and closed my eyes. Ilang minuto ko rin ipinikit ang aking mata pero hindi pa rin umaalis sa kama si Lucian. Nang bahagya kong buksan ang mata ko ay nakita ko siyang nakatingin sa akin habang may ngisi sa mga labi.

"I don't have office for today. Mind joining me walk?" he asked. Umayos ako ng higa saka naupo bago sumandal sa headboard ng kama.

"I want some hot chocolate drink. Itinimpla mo 'ko." sabi ko nang may bahid na ngiti. Ngumiti rin siya at bumaba na sa kama saka sinuot ang tsinelas.

"Sure, my love. Wait me here." aniya at binuksan na ang pintuan nang hindi ito isinasarado. It's fine. I decided to get out of the bed and I walked towards the radio on the side of the window that just Lucian closed. Binuksan ko ito at sinalubong ako ng mainit-init na sinag ng araw. Warm enough to warm my slightly cold body because of the air-conditioner and the cold Christmas air.

I reached my hand to the radio and when it turned on, the music that was playing last night is gone. Of course, tapos nang tumugtog. Balita na ang pumalit, baka mamayang gabi ulit.

"Good morning, Philippines. Time check, it's already 8:54 in the morning. Time check is brought to you by Absolute. Pure water, pure love." anang advertisement saka napunta ito sa lalaking nagsasalita. Must be the disc jockey.

"This is DJ Ryan at ang balita ko may bagong album na ilalabas si Felix-" when I heard my name, I tuned it to another channel but then the topic of radio is my name again. Nakailang lipat din ako ng radio station pero puro ako at ako lang ang naririnig ko. Nakakasawa na lang na puro sarili ko na lang ang naririnig ko saan man ako mapunta kahit na hindi naman nila alam kung ano ang tunay kong sitwasyon.

"Knock knock." boses ni Lucian sa likod ko at kumatok ng dalawang beses. "Your drink is at the garden, sa garden tayo uminom." ani Lucian at kaagaran ding umalis. I sighed and turn the radio off and went downstairs. Wala pa ang kambal at baka natutulog pa. The maid bowed her head when I'm coming to her way.

Pagkalabas ko ng kusina'y nakita ko si Lucian nakaupo sa isang lamesa, sumisimsim ng inuming umuusok-usok habang malayo ang tingin. Sandali pa lang lumipas bago niya ako napansing papalapit sa kinauupuan niya. This is somehow reminded me of the time when we ate here and we talked about the first time I saw him then words flashed through the walls of my mind making me stop from walking.

Beautiful and bittersweetly
You were fading into me
and I was gently fading into you
But the time went sailing by
Reluctantly we said goodbye
And left our secret place so far behind
And I lay in bed all night and I was drifting
