Unify Series #3: Verdicts of Yesterday

20

I just know that I am safe. I am with my haven, my home.

Chq messaged you.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang magnotif iyon sa akin. Chq? She is messaging me? I got curious so I opened my inbox to see her message. Hindi ko napigilang hindi mapairap nang tuluyan iyong mabasa.

Saya natin ah
Pupunta ako riyan bukas

Bakit?!?!

Wow galit?

Sabi lang ni Amara
pupunta ako riyan, e

Kami lang dalawa ang
pwede rito

Takte ang oa naman

Siya nagyaya sa akin kaya
wala ka nang magagawa. Ang possessive. Nginang yan

I rolled my eyes and didn't reply anymore. Nang tignan ko si Amanda ay nakatingin na pala ito sa akin at nakataas ang kanang kilay. She was currently leaning against the counter of the vanity mirror and is playing with her pen.

"You seemed happy," sabi niya. "Sino 'yan?"

"Kapatid mo lang," I simply said.

"Oh, sino?"

"Duh? Of ourse, Chq."

"I'd be glad to hear Jax from you," aniya at lumapit sa akin. "Anong sabi niya? Ganda kasi ng ngiti mo."

"Hindi ako nakangiti." I didn't really notice myself smiling. Pero kung totoo man, wala na akong magagawa. Ganoon naman talaga ako kapag may kachat. Kahit na sino pa 'yon, mapangingiti talaga ako. Even if it will be a stranger who wants to befriend with me.

"Hmm, you are." Nag-indian sit siya sa kama at mataman akong tinignan. Napabuntong hininga ako at akma ring babangon para harapin siya pero nabigla na lang ako sa hindi inaasahang galaw niya. I just found myself over her. Nasa ibabaw ko na siya at nakatitig sa mukha ko. She didn't drop her weight on me, tho. I could feel her legs straddling on mine.

"H-Hey, ano ba." I tried to push her but she just stay still. "Ano ba ang gusto mo? If I am smiling, then alright. I am. Si Chq ang kachat ko. Don't tell me —"

I stopped from talking when she started to kiss my face. First to my forehead, down to my nose, my chin, then went up to my cheeks. Halos sakupin niya ang buo kong mukha. I closed my eyes and tried to push her but I felt weak to put more strength just to get her off.

"I am not jealous," bulong niya at lumapit sa tainga ko. "I just want to have your attention. I was staring at you while you were busy chatting with someone."

"That's still jealousy."

"Yeah, but I at least give me your attention."

I chuckled. "Ikaw na nga ang araw ko, e. Gusto mo pa ng sobra?"

"Hmm, yeah."

She started to kiss my ear that made me goose bumps. Mahina ko siyang tinulak at buti naman ay tumigil siya. "You're too naughty. Matulog na tayo."
