TRIALS

CHAPTER 19

i woke up when greg is in my side na, he's smiling at me. umiling nalang ako before i chuckle and asked him.

"asan na tayo" i asked "are we here" i added.

"actually yes. and i was about to carry you but you already awake that's why" he said. so asan sila?

"nasa loob na sila." he added he's really good at instinct talaga. akala ko babae lang ang magaling sa ganon haha. "let's go?" he asked then he offer his hand for me. i scratched my eyes before i stood up.

pagkababa naman namin sinalubong naman kami ng pagkarami raming camera, mabuti nalang at nakapasok agad kami ng malacañang.

pagkapasok naman namin sumalubong agad sila mama meldy at daddy saamin.

agad namang nagmano si greg while me i kiss their both cheek.

"so mom, dad. this is greg my friend in palawan." i was about to spoke pa because i wanted to add some more facts about greg pa when dad cut my words.

"we know him ijah. he's the son of don alejandro the future chief of philweb" dad said. oh shook kilala na pala siya ng buong pamilya ko eh.

nakita ko naman na simpleng ngumiti si greg. i see him in my perapheral sight.

"ikaw ba ijo malinis ang intensiyon mo sa anak ko" agad naman siyang siniko ni mommy.

"macoy" mom warning him that make us laugh.

"come on dad your being oa." i said while shaking my head

"nako ijo pasensiya ka na ha, sige na tuloy na kayo para makapagpahinga muna kayo at makakain lalo pa ang layo ng naging biyahe niyo" mama meldy said then offer us a way para makapasok kami.

greg slowly bow at my mom and my father to offer them a respect. then i see how mom and dad smile after greg does that.

i clasped greg hand then hinila ko naman siya para sana ipunta siya sa guest room when yaya tetang blocked us.

"ay nako maam nakalimutan ko pong sabihin na ang mga guest room po natin ay tinulugan ng mga staff ng prime minister" she said that make our eyes met.

a cold feeling making me pale while he's still staring at me.

well we can't share at the same room. pero saan naman siya matutulog?! alangan naman sa kwarto ni ate!?

"well i really don't have choice." i said and pull him papasok sa kwarto ko.

"tabi nalang tay--" he cut my words. he stop for a moment.

"you have sofa i think, dito nalang ako" he said.

nakalagay naman ang sofa sa left side ng higaan ko. bahagyang may space parin sa pagitan namin, pero kitang kita namin ang isat isa.

i don't know but after he said that i smile. he really have a big respect on me. "thank you" i mouthed my words.

-
after we finish eating and cleaning ourselves agad naman kaming lahat nagpahinga. malalim na ang gabi kaya we need to rest our body.

"greg" tawag ko naman sakanya.

"hmm" his voice is literally sleepy. well actually naawa ako sakanya because he really can't unat.

nakabaluktot ang katawan niya. umiling naman ako bago ako lumapit sakanya.

nasa harap niya na ako. umupo naman ako sa gilid niya, i see he's peaceful face right now clearly.

i put my palm in his both cheek.

"greg, wake up" i tapping now his cheeks then he slowly open his eyes.

a tiredness eyes is all i can see right now. pagod na pagod ang mga mata niya. hay i'm sorry greg.

"hmm? why? may problema ba? did you hurt" he asked, i slightly laugh when i imagining how oa he is.

"no, there's nothing wrong with me. but you." i stop and look at his eyes

"you have" i said. he chuckled

"what do you mean?" he asked confusedly.

"samahan mo ako, sleep beside me" i said, nanlaki naman ang mata niya and he was about to lay himself again when i stop him.

"don't worry there's harang on gitna. napansin ko lang kase na para ka nang nahihirapan diyan" i said, hindi ko alam kung concern ba ako o talagang ayoko siyang nakikitang nahihirapan.

"you know shin lumalalim na ang gabi you need to sleep, don't worry i'm okay here." he said umiling naman ako.

"please greg" i hold his hand then make a puffy eyes.

tumayo naman ako para alalayan siya.
he's so hot, what i mean is ang init niya. siguro nga masama ang pakiramdam niya.

dahan dahan naman siyang humiga sa right side ko then he immediately close his eyes ng walang sabi sabi.

hihiga na rin sana ako when i felt like he's shaking, nanginginig siya. dahil naman sa pagtataka agad ko namang hinaplos ang noo niya. at sobrang init kaya tinanggal ko naman ang mga unan sa gitna namin at agad siyang nilapitan.

"wait for me, i'll take you medicine" i said and wrap my blanket on him.
