Trophy of the Sunsets (Tonjuarez Series II)

TOTS 38

Chapter 38

I felt like I was struck by thunder because of what he said. Thousands of shivers run through my system. Iniwas ko ang tingin sa kanya at ibinukol ang dila sa loob ng pisngi.

Grabe naman 'to pumaraan, parang kahit sino na maging karibal nito aatras na lang.

I want to laugh not because it's funny but because he looks so serious, it's making him cute. I never thought those words would come out of his mouth, but it actually touched a part of my heart.

"Tara na, dami mong baon today." sagot ko sa kanya at hinila na siya palabas ng simbahan.

"Huh?"

"Ay, wala po." bawi ko sa medyo mataas na tono, hindi nga pala ito sanay sa pang kalyeng usapan.

Matapos iyon ay dumiretso lang kami sa mall para kumain ng lunch, syempre kasama na naman itong ex bestfriend/bestfriend ulit/manliligaw ko. At nagpasikat pa nga, siya na rin ang nagbayad kahit hindi naman siya ang nagyaya. Syempre, tuwang-tuwa ang mga magulang ko.

Akala ko balak niya na rin matulog sa bahay, dahil madilim na siya umuwi. Kung hindi ko pa siya sisitahin, at ipapaalala sa kanya na may trabaho kami bukas ay malamang hindi pa siya uuwi.

"Bye, Goodnight." paalam niya sa akin, kahit papaano ay hinatid ko naman siya sa labas ng bahay.

Nakahalukipkip ako at naka pang tulog na rin dahil handa na talaga ako matulog. Naubos ang lakas ko ngayong araw, kaya hindi ko alam kung saan pa kumukuha ng energy itong isa.

"Bye, goodnight best friend." balik ko.

His brow shot up and suddenly I can't read his face anymore. He looked offended but at the same time relieved. Ang gulo ano Wyatt? Parang ikaw lang.

"Ingat sa pag drive." dugtong ko, para gumaan gaan naman ang pakiramdam niya.

Akala ko may sasabihin pa siya kaya siya lumapit, nilandas nito ang isa pang baitang ng hagdan. In a swift motion he planted his lips on my forehead. My heart skipped a beat because of that.

"I'll text you when I get home." he whispered and kissed my temple softly.

Nakaalis na ito lahat-lahat, nakatayo pa rin ako sa labas na parang nahanginan. I swallowed hard, as my heart throbbed hardly against my chest. All of his soft actions, reminds me of the old Wyatt that used to take care of me.

My eyes wandered around the spacious space. He is still somewhere there, and I think I can still get him back.

Kinabukasan ay tama nga ako at hectic na. Patapos na ang project, at final revisions at approval na lang ang kailangan. Pag naipasa ito lahat, tutulak na si Wyatt sa Europe para sa assembling ng parts.

The new model will be developed in Europe, all the engines and other materials needed for the car will come from there. At the end, this would be a european car designed in the Philippines.

The budgeting, materials that will be used are very delicate and expensive. That's why every department involved in this project was in a busy mood. I was in charge of the exterior and interior design, everything that the human eyes will land too, is my responsibility.

I put my eyeglasses, it doesn't have any grade but just protection. Paano ba naman, simula kaninang umaga pagdating ko, hanggang ngayong gabi ay nakatutok ako sa screen ng laptop. Baka bigla na lang sumuko ang mata ko.

I took the ballpen cap and made it my pin, I put it on my bangs so it won't hinder my vision. I rested my back on the back of the chair, and bit my lip. I let out a heavy sigh.
