Chapter 29.

"This is my first attempt on creating my dream house,"

"Wow! You made this?!"

Reious said as she let Niraiah take his tablet from his hands.

"This is so amazingly detailed despite the visible unevenness of its parts. Ilang taong gulang ka noong ginawa mo ito?" Tanong niya.

Napakurap kurap naman si Reious saka inalala ang taon kung kailan niya ginawa ang unang drawing niya ng kaniyang dream house.

"I'm not sure, siguro around 12 years old?"

"You're so young," bilib na sabi ni Niraiah habang kumikinang ang mga matang pinagmamasdan ang drawing. She turn her head to Reious and asked, "Can I?"

Nagpapaalam siya kung pwede niya bang ilipat ang litrato sa susunod pa. Tumango tango naman si Reious. 

"They are arranged from the oldest to the newest." Reious said and yawned. Humiwalay muna siya saglit kay Niraiah saka tinignan ang kaniyang selpon upang tignan kung may tinext bang update si Max sa kaniya. 

Nang makitang wala itong natanggap na text, pinatay niya ito saka binalik ang ulo sa pagkakapatong sa balikat ni Niraiah at pinikit ang mga mata.

"Just ask me if you are curious about something." Sabi niya habang nakapikit, ramdam naman niya ang pagtango ng dalaga. He wrapped his hands around Niraiah's small waist and smile in contentment for a moment before hearing Niraiah asked questions. 

"Did you made these using an app?"

"Yes."

"Then does your ex-girlfriend name is Yana?"

Biglang napamulagat si Reious sabay angat ng ulo at tingin kay Niraiah. Niraiah was not looking at him, she was still looking at his tablet. He followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at his drawing of his dream house he made when he was 26 years old.

Under his drawing of three-storey house, a cursive penmanship writing can be seen.

‘For my Yana and me. ’

Reious's back turn cold as he saw what Niraiah was looking at. He gulped and tried to get the tablet from her but Niraiah pushed his hand away.

"It's okay," ani niya saka patuloy na pinagmasdan ang drawing. "It looks good, your improvement was clearly shown in this picture."

Instead of asking another question regarding Reious's ex-girlfriend, she instead started complementing Reious.

Kung hindi dahil sa nauna niyang tanong dito, baka natuwa na si Reious sa papuri nito, pero hindi maiwasan ni Reious na isipin na baka nagiging sarkastiko lamang si Niraiah sa kaniya ngayon.

"Really? Hindi ko alam," pagsasawalang bahala ni Reious.

"Gaano na kayo katagal magkakilala ni Yana?" Biglang tanong ni Niraiah. 

She asked it in her usual tone, but for some reason, it felt cold and emotionless in Reious's ears.

"F-Four years…" Mahinang sagot niya, dahan-dahang tumango naman ang ulo ni Niraiah.

"And how long do we know each other? No, rather, how long since we've meet each other?"

"I-It's been four months since we… in that grocery store…"

"Ha, four years versus four months."

Reious flinched and looked at Niraiah worriedly. For some reason, that statement felt like it was brimming of hidden emotions. He looks at her, worried that Niraiah might be thinking something ominous, and pulled her to make her face him.
