Whisper of Virtouso (Love Material Series #2)

CHAPTER TWELVE

CHAPTER TWELVE

"Lyzza, okay ka na d'yan?" Tanong ni Kenzo habang inaayos niya ang bedsheet ko.

"Med'yo may kaliitan lang bahay na 'mmin pero pagt'yahan mo na lang ito."

"H'wag ka na maarte, kupa ka!" Biro nito.

After he fixed this bed sheet, he then sat down and reached out to change the pillowcase. Umupo naman ako sa tabi nito at saka  tinapik-tapik ko ang kaniyang balikat.

"Okay lang, gago!" Nakangiting kong sagot. "Kahit ano pa 'yan, okay lang. Kahit sa sahig ako matulog, okay lang din sa akin. P'wede rin sa labas ng bahay niyo ako matulog, ayos na ayos lang sa akin,"

Tinignan ako nang masama ni Kenzo. Nagtataka ako kung bakit ganiyan siya makatingin. May nasabi ba ako na 'di niya gusto? May nabanggit ba ako na ikinasama niya?

"Ba't ganiyang ang mukha, Lods?!"

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Hinding-hindi ko gagawin 'yun na sa sahig ka matutulog, at lalong 'di ko kayang patulugin ka sa labas ng bahay. Ano ako, bobo? Tanga? Tarantado? Walang isip?"

"No way! Hindi ko kaya 'yun. May puso at utak ako para alam ang tama at mali. At saka kaibigan kitang bobo ka!"

Napangiti na lang ako nang malapad dahil sa naging sagot nito. Kaming nina Erica, Shainny, at ako ay natulog na dito. I was the last one to sleep here. Erica was the first to sleep here and Shainny was the second, and I was the last.

Alam na alam mo naman na safe ka sa isang tao. Mararamadaman mo naman iyon lalo na't kaibigan mo si Kenzo. You are so safe whenever you are with him. Kenzo is one of those people you can trust who you know will lift you up every time you feel like you're down. Kenzo has a trustworthy behavior, he knows how to keep a promise. He can keep our secrets and promise, he won't do what you just manipulated. He had a reliability side like he would do and find a way to support us.

Isa si Kenzo sa dahilan kung patuloy pa rin ako nakatayo sa sarili kong paa. Halos noong bata ako si Kenzo ang nandiya. Sila ang nandiyan sa tabi ko noong may nangyari na hindi inaasahan na pangyayari. I felt that I had nothing to do with them. I am unlucky in life with my parents. I have almost nothing to hold on to. Fortunately I have Shainny, a bubbly girl. Erica, a shy girl, and finally, Kenzo, a supportive best friend. As long as I have the three of them, I'm okay, I won't want any more friends.'

Because of Kenzo, I developed my self-esteem. My confidence in him grew over time, and I developed stronger feelings and trust for him. It wasn't only about falling in love romantically; it was also about knowing I had discovered a reliable friend and companion. He trusts me too much. He also trusted for me on a day when I didn't trust myself. He effortlessly personified the virtues of security and safety that he taught me were crucial in every life. He taught me how to be strong. He taught me how to face all problems.

In the end, having a sense of security around him was more than just a feeling; it was a certainty, a lovely relationship based on love, respect, and trust. I knew I had discovered a place where I belonged in his arms.

Okay na si Kenzo kaso ang isa lang problema niya. . . wala pa siyang girlfriend!

Habang naiisip ko ang mga panahong na walang wala ako, bigla na lang naginit ang gilid ng dalawang mata ko. I felt tears forming in my eyes. I cried because of what happened to me then until now it's still the same. Nothing changed. Little by little my tears started to flow. It hurts so much.

"Hoy, kupal! Napano ka? Bakit ka umiiyak?" Tanong ni Kenzo. Mararamdaman mo sa boses niya ang pagaalala.

"B-Bakit kaya ganito no'?" My voice cracked.
