Chapter 42

KEN

I am sitting on a trunk of a tree where Pablo and I sitted before. I was just watching them playing with the sand on the shore.

Para silang mga bata.

I chuckled because of the sight.

Tumingin sa gawi ko si Pau at ngumiti.

He's so lovely.

Ang sarap sa pakiramdam kapag nakikita ko siyang nakangiti. Kapayapaan ang dulot ng maaliwalas nyang mukha sa akin.

My focus was all on him.

Marahil nga ay totoo ang mga sabi sabi na kapag inlove ka, yung taong yun lang ang makikita mo sa paligid. Automatic na siya ang mapapansin mo. Kahit gaano pa kadaming tao ang nasa harapan, tanging siya lang ang hahanapin ng mga mata mo.

It's quite true.

I don't know why but I really feel that we're destined to be with each other. Hindi pa ganun katagal na kami'y magkakilalala pero pakiramdam ko, my heart knows him even before we've met.

"Pwede bang umupo sa tabi mo hijo?"

My thoughts was abrupted.

"Opo naman Nana." umusog ako ng kaunti para bigyan ito ng sapat na espasyo para upuan.

She smiled at me and turn her gaze to the four.

"Bakit hindi ka sumali sa kanila? Mukhang nagkakasiyahan sila." wika nito.

I smiled. "Mamaya maya lang po siguro Nana." I replied.

There's a minute of silence between her and I, until she spoke.

"Maaari ko ba muling itanong sa iyo Ken ang itinanong ko sayo noong una nating pagkikita?" she said and looked at me.

I became puzzled.

"Ano pong tanong Nana?" I curiously asked.

She slightly chuckled.

"Nalimutan mo na pala." sabi nito. "Sige, ulitin ko. Ikaw ba ang mate ng apo ko?" nakangising tanong nito.

I instantly became red because of Nana's question.

Oo nga pala. She asked me that before. Pero friends lang naman talaga kami noon ni Pau. But now, hindi na.

Pota. Kinikilig ako.

"B-Boyfriend palang po Nana." nahihiyang wika ko.

Narinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa nito.

"Boyfriend 'palang'. So you had plans in making him your mate, right?" she teasingly asked again.

Sure akong mukha na akong kamatis dito. Si Nana kasi, pa showbiz happenings ang mga tanungan.

I shyly nodded.

Of course, I would be very happy if Pau became my mate. Alam kong parang masyadong mabilis pero alam ko sa sarili ko na sigurado na ako sa kanya. I want him to be with me for the rest of my life.

"In the future po Nana." I said while glancing on Pau who's currently running after his twin.

Napangiti ako.

"I don't want to pressure him Nana. I want us to take it slow. Hindi naman po ako nagmamadali. I can wait even if it takes forever. Kung kelan po siya maging ready. Kaya ko pong maghintay kahit gaano katagal basta po siya ang hihintayin ko." I honestly replied.

I don't want to repeat the same mistake again. I don't want him to be scared cause I took our relationship fast. I want him to enjoy his life first but I wish he wants to settle with me too. Kasi ako, gusto ko siyang makasama habangbuhay.

I saw in my peripheral vision that Nana smiled.

"Hindi ako nagkamali ng pagkakakilala sayo Ken. The first time I saw you, I know you'll be a good mate for my grandson. Maaaring hindi niyo alam pero mayroong kakaiba sa inyo pag kayo'y magkasama. It's as if you're fit for each other. That the universe did everything para magkatagpo kayo." she said.

What I feel right now was exactly what Nana stated.

"Nana... do you think Pablo and I also have the soulmates bond? Just like you and Lala?"

I've been meaning to asked her that since the moment that we got here. Hindi kasi mawala sa isip ko ang posibilidad na maaaring itinadhana din kami para sa isat isa. Gaya nila. It's not impossible, right?

Tumingin ito sa akin.

"I see. Nakwento na pala sayo ni Paulo ang tungkol samin ni Lala." sabi nito.

Agad naman akong tumango.

She averted her gaze. "Sa totoo lang apo, hindi ko rin alam kung paano malalaman kung soulmates bond nga ba ang nasa pagitan ng dalawang tao. Maybe, they're the only one who can tell if they really suited for each other.  Then their bond will surely became stronger." Nana said.

I nodded.

Nana is right.

Kami lang din mismo ang makakapagsabi kung matibay ba ang bond namin and if it can endure whatever problem arises between us.

"Pero whether you have the soulmates bond or not, it will never matter as long as truly love each other. Yun ang importante." dugtong pa nito.

I agree.

Mahal na mahal ko si Pau. I see him as my future. That what's matter.

"Thank y--"

Naputol ang dapat ay pasasalamat ko kay Nana ng biglang lumakas ang tibok ng puso ko.

My breathing became heavy and i'm sweating all over my body.

FUCK!!!

Nana was quick to react.

"You're experiencing your rut Ken. This is bad!" she exclaimed.

"I-I kn-know Nana..." I feel so hot.

Tangina!

"N-Nana... I n-need to go so-somewhere else. I c-can't stay a-t your h-house." i'm having a hard time in speaking.

Bakit kasi ngayon pa??!

"Naiintindihan ko." she nodded. "May malapit na resort dito na may inn. 5 minutes drive lang mula rito. Dun ka muna magpalipas." utos nito.

Nana know what to do. She's like me. A dominant alphas rut is dangerous especially if they don't have their mate yet.

Marahan akong tumango.

Nahirapan akong tumayo pero nakaya ko naman. My car is just in front of the house. I can still walk to go there.

"I'll help you." Nana initiated but I refused.

"It's o-kay Nana. I c-can go th-there on my o-own." my breaths are becoming more heavy.

Shit!!

I need to go now.

"N-Nana... pl-please don't t-tell Pau w-where I-I am... It will b-be dangerous f-for him if h-he kn-knows..." I said.

I didn't wait for her to respond. Alam kong alam ni Nana kung bakit ako nagbilin ng ganun.

I don't want to hurt him. Mas mabuti nang magkalayo kami sa gantong mga panahon.

I immediately go to my car and left.
