Love Next Door

Enchanted Kingdom 1

SAMANTHA'S POV

"Hoy, gising." Pagbungad ko kay Alyssa na ngayon napakahimbing pa rin ng tulog.

"Ly, uy." I said repeatedly as I shake her to wake her up from the shoulders. Pero, hindi pa rin talaga gumigising si tanga.

"ALYSSA!" Nairita na rin ako sa sobrang hirap niyang gisingin. Baka may kalahating oras na akong ganito pero siya, wala pa ring kibo.

She was not answering when I was knocking and calling her name by the front door so I tried what she would do if she was in my position. Oo, inakyat ko rin ang kwarto niya at dumaan sa bintana. Luckily, it was not locked kaya hindi ako nangalay kakahintay sa kanya sa labas ng bintana.

Mahirap pala ah. It would be easier if she used a wooden rope ladder. Baka mamaya mahulog pa siya kakaakyat.

What the hell, Sam? Concerned? You should never be! Well oo nga, deserve niya yon, hindi naman siya pinipilit na doon dumaan eh.

Going back, sumigaw na ako at lahat hindi pa rin siya nagigising so I did what I wanted to do kanina pa. Binatukan ko ng isa sa tanga.

Dahil sa sakit at gulat siguro, napahawak naman siya sa likod ng ulo niya dahil nakatalikod din siya sakin as of the moment.

"Oh?" She asked while her eyes are still closed. Looks like she's still trying to sleep.

Binatukan ko siya ulit ng isa pa at napaharap na nga siya sakin this time.

"Ano ga?" She asked and her eyes, are trying its best to open wide enough and not shut down once again.

"Sabado na." I said.

"Oh?"

"Anong oh? Enchanted Kingdom!"

"Anong oras na ba? Tingnan mo yung relo ha, tingnan mo-" Alyssa pointed at the wall clock right in front of her bed. "Ala sais palang, Samantha."

"Yun na nga eh! Ala sais na. Maliligo ka pa, magbibihis at babyahe pa tayo!"

"Bahala ka." Alyssa said at nagkumot na nga habang tumalikod sa kinauupuan ko sa gilid ng kama niya. Bwisit, malelate kami! Baka madami nang tao mamaya.

Dali dali ko namang hinila ang kumot nito dahil alam kong hindi siya makakatulog nang wala yon. Lamigin kasi masyado. Dahil dito, bigla siyang napaharap ulit sakin.

She opened her eyes but not too wide, still. And, she held me by the wrist to pull me to lie down beside her.

"Ano ba, Ly?! Kung tinatamad ka, sana sinabi mo na kagabi. I made an effort to wake up early tapos ikaw 'tong nag aya tulog p-"

"Saan ba yung EK? Sa ibang planeta?" Pagbibiro nito. "Kumalma ka. I still have time to nap until 7am. Aalis tayo 8:15 and we'll be there by 9:30-10:30."

"10:30?! Madami nang nakapila non!"

"11:00am pa siya magbubukas. We can easily go inside, may ticket na tayo eh."

Natahimik naman ako bigla dahil akala ko ngayon din kami bibili ng tickets, on the spot. She really prepared for this day.

To be honest, these past few days I've been thinking about last sunday night. When Ly said that she wanted to celebrate my graduation even if it was already a year late. I don't know but it made me feel special.

"Hoy." I was snapped out of my thoughts when Alyssa called me.

"Yeah, sige." I said.

"Good." She pulled me close and hugged me as she closed her eyes again to nap. It did not take her beyond five minutes and she's already asleep.
