Mamahalin Kita ng Malayo

CHAPTER 104

Imee's POV
I'm home. I don't have work today at wala din naman akong mapagkakaabalahan dito sa bahay coz one of our helper which is Manang came here yesterday. Inutusan daw siya ni Mommy na mag-stay muna dito para samahan at tulungan ako sa mga gawaing bahay.

Mom already know what Roderick did which made her so disappointed and mad at the same. Hindi ko din naman siya masisisi eh. Actually si Kuya na ang nagsabi sa kanya dahil hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin. Hindi ko din naman maitatago.

While laying on my bed, I look at the clock and it's nearly 8:30am. Tinatamaan na din ng sinag ng araw ang mukha ko so I get up.

As soon as I move the curtains and open the sliding door, I saw Roderick. Sinasara na niya ang gate ng rented house niya and by the time he was about to hop in his car, he saw me.

Rod: Oh good morning, love (remove his shades and smile)

Imee: Good morning (smile back)

Rod: Wait, punta ako diyan.

Imee: Nah (shook her head). Ako nalang ang bababa.....Sandali.

Rod nodded so I immediately did my morning routine and went out of my room. As I reach the living room, Manang told me to eat breakfast na. Gezzzz! She prepared a lot. Agad akong nagutom but I told her na sandali lang coz Rod is waiting outside.

As I open the gate, I saw him walking towards me while holding one rose.

Rod: For you, love (handed the rose and kissed Imee on her lips)

Imee: Anong oras na, love. Why are you still here?

Rod: Wala naman masyadong trabaho ngayon, love. Besides nasa office na sila Franky, okay na yun (chuckled) So kumusta ang tulog mo? Nakatulog ka ba ng maayos?

While Rod tell those words, inayos ko naman ang butones ng polo niya. Napansin ko din na medyo gusot ito which made me shook my head.

Rod: I'll be home early, love.

Imee: Okay (then smile)

Rod: Matulog ka muna habang wala ako ha? Magpahinga, okay?

Imee: Opo (nodded)

After telling that word, he ask and keep on talking. Nakatingin at pinapakinggan ko lang siya pero hindi nagtagal, I immediately hug him. His perfume changed but I admit, mas gusto ko 'to ngayon. I was about to close my eyes and wanna enjoy in his arms but his phone suddenly ring kaya agad akong napabitaw sa kanya.

Rod: Wait, love. Sagutin ko lang, it's Dad.

I step back and nodded. Habang may kausap siya through his phone, nakatingin lang siya sa akin so I smile. Pero alam kong by the time he will end the call, aalis na siya which made me sad and teary at the same time.

Rod: Love, I'm really sorry but I have to go.

Imee: O-okay (smile forcedly)

When he put his phone inside his pocket, he held my hand and kissed me. Before he hopped in his car, sinabi niya ulit na maaga siyang uuwi so we have time together.

I stayed outside until his car disappear in my sight. I even took a deep breath before entering my house.

Manang: Oh halika na, anak. Kumain ka na.

Imee: Salamat po.

When I sit, Manang put pancake on my plate and while she dazzle syrup, she giggle which made me confuse so I stop smelling the rose that Rod gave me earlier.
