Zix's Point of View
I hold her hand and wipe her tears. Hinila ko na sya paalis sa lugar na yun wala naman syang imik ng makarating kami sa kotse ko at papasukin ko sya sa loob.
Napatingin ako sa kanya ng huminga sya ng malalim at pilit na pinipigilan ang paghikbi habang tuloy parin ang mga luha nya na bumabagsak. I clenched my jaw and hold her face then caress her cheeks. "Hush.... Stop crying, baby. I can't watch you like this. Miserable and hopeless..." Her lips parted before nodding, I gave her a peck on her cheeks and start the engine.
"From now on, lagi ka nang nasa tabi ko. I will protect and help you. Care for you and......love you."
Ngumiti lang sya sakin kaya napangiti na lang ako at tumigil na din sya sa pag-iyak.
I drove the way home while my one hand is on the stirring wheel and the other is holding her hand. Nakangiting pinagmasdan ko ang mga kamay namin at ng mapatingin ako sa kanya ang maamong at napaka inosenteng mukha nya ang una kong pinagmasdan. Nakatulog na sya sa byahe.
I know I don't have so many things did with her, but I have my chance right now.
I did keep my feelings on her for a long time, since I saw her in the backyard garden of kuya Logan's house her image is always flashing on my mind. Now I that I have the chance to be with her I will fight for it, I won't let her go. Our story is just starting......
Lumabas na ko ng kotse at saka binuksan ang pinto ng passenger seat at inalis ang seat belt nya, dahan-dahan ko syang binuhat at saka nilabas sa kotse. Napayakap sya sa sarili ng maramdaman nya ang lamig kaya agad na akong naglakad papasok sa bahay. Malamig nga talaga ang klima ngayon dito sa US.
Pagkapasok ko sa bahay ay inakyat ko na sya sa kwarto at pinahiga sa kama saka kinumutan.
I open the heater para naman mabawasan ang lamig at saka bumaba sa kusina.
I took two cups of hot choco saka bumalik sa kwarto.
Pagpasok ko pa lang ay naabutan ko syang inaalis ang sapatos nya habang nakaupo sa kama. Napatingin sya sakin at nakangiti ko namang inabot ang hot choco sa kanya. "Thanks." Mukhang maayos na ang pakiramdam nya ngayon. Mas mabuti yun kesa naman nakikita ko syang nahihirapan at umiiyak. *sigh*
"Zix..." My heart jumps the time she said my name. Feeling ko unang beses pa lang nya nasasabi ang pangalan ko.
I gulp and look at her eyes. Damn hypnotizing beautiful eyes...
"Thank you. I don't know what to say no more. I... I just want to thank you. Thank you very much, Zix. Thank you." I stare at her and smile. I made a step forward and scrambled her hair to lighten the mood. I can saw the sadness and tiredness on her eyes.
"You're always welcome, silly kitty."
She heaved a sigh and smile the nod and raise her cup. I raised my cup and tossed onto hers. Parang nakahinga ako ng mas maluwag ng uminom na sya sa hot choco na binigay ko. Nakakagaan sa loob at napakasaya, seeing the girl that you love in front of you, with you.
