Angel 2
Red
I was smiling from ear to ear while eating the lunch that Daddy prepared for me. Hindi ko makalimutan ang pagkakakilala ko kay Asul at iyong lugar na pinag dalha nya sa akin.
"Are you that happy last night, princess?" tanong sa akin ni Daddy.
Ngumiti ako lalo. "Yes, dad. I met some new friends and they were very kind,"
Tumango ito saka ngumiti. "I'm glad you had fun. You can always invite them here if you want,"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at kaagad na umiling. "No, it's fine dad. We can always meet up outside naman po at night, if you would allow me?" marahan kong sabi.
Ngumuso ito. "Of course, basta ba alam ko kung sino ang kasama mo."
"Yehey! Thanks, dad. I'm done eating na po, I'll just go to my room."
Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko saka naupo sa kama ko. I opened my instagram and was about to search for Asul when a notification popped up.
AsulBuenavista started following you.
AsulBuenavista: Hey, angel.
Napangiti ako nang mabasa ang direct message neto. Kaagad akong nag reply.
NicoleSaint: Hi Asul! How are you?
Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko nang maramdaman na naman ang mabilis na pag takbo neto. Kinagat ko ang labi ko at kinalma ang sarili .
AsulBuenavista: Can I call?
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at inabot ang unan sa gilid ko saka mahigpit na niyakap. Hindi mapigilan ang ngiti ay nag reply ako.
NicoleSaint: Sure!
I thought he was just gonna audio call but he was video calling me! Tinignan ko saglit ang sarili sa salamin bago kumalma at sinagot ang tawag neto.
"Hey..." bati neto sa akin. "Sorry if I disturbed you," paumanhin neto at marahang humalakhak.
Kaagad akong umiling. "No! It's fine. Wala din naman akong ginagawa. How about you?" tanong ko dito nang mapansing naka suit and tie ito at mukhang opisina ang nasa background nya.
"I'm just taking a break from work..."
Tumango ako. "You should rest then," nagaalangan kong tugon.
His lips rose into a smile. He really is so charming! "I am resting... What are you doing later this evening? Are you free?"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko saka napangiti. "Later? Why?"
Ngumuso ito. "Well... I wanna see you and hangout?"
My heart bombarded my chest again with it's loud beating! "Around eight then?"
He bit his lower lip, eyes flickering. "I'll pick you up at eight,"
Kaagad akong umiling. "It's fine, let's just see each other outside?"
Kumunot ang noo neto saka umiling. "No, I'll pick you up to make sure you're safe. Ipagpapaalam na din kita sa daddy mo,"
I groaned inwardly. "Ako na ang magpapaalam kay daddy. You can pick me up then. I'll send you our address,"
"Alright, Saint. We'll follow whatever you want," he hoarsely said.
Umawang ang labi ko at napahawak sa dibdib ko. Napansin nya iyon. "What's wrong?" he asked worried.
"I don't know. Maybe because you called me Saint. No one really calls me by my second name..." paliwanag ko dito. "Why does everything you do or say affects me deeply? Is this even normal?" sabi ko at ngumuso.
