Chapter 28 - Living In One Roof

Chapter Twenty Eight
"Living In One Roof"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

Theo was cool with moving in to a new house. 'Di naman ito nag-react, instead he even helped with the arrangements of the furnitures the next day when we moved in a one storey modern contemporary house.

The house was modern minimalist in style. Flat roofed with curtained glass. May swimming pool sa likod at sa harap naman ay may entourage na napapalamutian ng mga halaman. Although it looks like it can be easily accessed, may high security naman dahil Abeline hired security sa area namin and before you get to the vicinity, may gate na sasalubong sa iyo na may taong nakabantay.

It was designed by a renowned Architect in the country, what do you expect from the Gustilyos? Of course they want everything to be in a tip-top condition to provide comfort for their family.

Abeline told us na every now and then may taong pupunta sa bahay para maglinis twice a week and to do the laundry so 'di na kami dapat mag-abala pa na maglinis. She even told me na Theo knows how to cook already so 'di kami magugutom na dalawa.

"Take good care of each other ha?" Paalala nito sa aming dalawa. Then she kissed me on my cheek at ganun din kay Theo.

"I'll be visiting you two once in a while, until then take care of each other." She added atsaka pumasok na sa loob ng kaniyang sasakyan at umalis na sila.

Pagkatapos naming maglipat ng mga gamit at magligpit ng mga kailangang ligpitin sa loob ng bahay ay napagdesisyonan naming dalawa na mamahinga muna. I gave Theo a water to drink at tumango lang itong kinuha sa akin.

Umupo naman ako sa tabi nito. "So, this is it? We're far away from your family na." I told him, quite pleased with the idea of the two of us living together. At age 18 I'm already living with someone I love.

I know it's too young for me yet pero kahit sa labas nga age 18 pinapalayas na ang mga anak nila. I guess it's just right for me since nasa tamang edad naman ako — and so is Theo.

"Yeah. Finally." He uttered in his usual nonchalant tone. Lumapit ito sa akin atsaka umakbay. "It just feels like we're starting a family." Nakangisi nitong sinabi sa akin.

We were staring at the oblivion, trying to process everything inside our heads.

I rolled my eyes at him. "We can't be a family just yet."

Kumunot naman ang noo nito. "Ba't naman?" Ininom nito ulit ang tubig, I watch him as he gulp it in. His Adams apple was moving down. I find it really sexy.

"You're still in a relationship with that Stephanie." Then he just remembered about it.

"Yeah. I almost forgot about it." Tumayo naman ito atsaka pumunta sa loob ng kusina. "Do you want to eat something?" Tanong niya sa akin habang naghahanap ng kung ano ang pwedeng lutuin. Umiling lang ako sa kaniya.

"'Di pa ako gutom." Ani ko rito at pumunta sa kusina para uminom ng gamot ko.

I still need to drink these medicines na pinapainom sa akin ng doctor ko kahit na paminsan na lang ako magpa psychiatrist for my check up. Napatingin naman si Theo sa akin. "You're still taking medicines?" Tanong nito sa akin. I just nodded at him then took them one by one. Napa-iling na lamang ito at naghanap ng puwedenh makain.
