Escape the Reality [Sandro Marcos Fan-fiction]

Part 25

"Hey love." Nagulat ako ng biglang hawakan ni Sandro ang balikat ko.

Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa kitchen counter habang kumakain ng ice cream. Umalis saglit si tita Liza para tanungin ang mga tao sa living room kung well done ba ang steak na iluluto.

"What happened?" I asked Sandro when I noticed the sweat beads on his forehead and a bruise on his jaw.

"Nothing, come with me." He said tumayo ako at tinignan siyang kumuha ng yelo sa ref at lumabas kami sa back door ng bahay.

"Ano ba talaga nangyari?" Tanong ko muli kay Sandro ng maupo na kami sa isang bench sa backyard.

"It's a big misunderstanding." He answered. "Do you want to celebrate New Year outside? I'll take you to a five star res-"

I hushed him. "Tell me what exactly happened." Sabat ko sa sinasabi niya.

Napa-iling iling siya. "Simon just forgot to do things that I asked him and it is urgent so we had a small fight outside."

Saglit akong tahimik habang nakatingin sakaniya habang dinadampi ang icepack sa pasa niya.

"That's it?" I asked doubtful.

Tumango siya. "Yeah. So let's go?" Tumayo siya at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Saan tayo pupunta?" I asked.

"Somewhere far from here." He answered.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Are you sure you're telling me the truth?" Tanong kong muli.

He averted his gaze. "Of course I am."

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. "Okay then, so let's stay here? First time ko mamemeet ang whole family mo diba?"

Tumango-tango siya.

"Let's get inside?" I asked him pulling his hand gently. "Tita Liza might looking for me."

Ngumiti siya bago kami pumasok muli.

I doubt it, he's lying to me.
