How Far Love Can Take You? (On going)

16. The one with all the good memories.

My relationship with Paul is like a rollercoaster. I may not be able to share some parts that we're fighting, but we do. We also fight. Always remember that a couple who doesn't argue aren't inside a real relationship. If you think arguing isn't good for a relationship, then you're wrong. You need to argue when it's needed. You can't just let your partner or yourself be drown into some stupidity. Be the teacher of each other. You teach him and he'll teach you because inside a relationship, both of you have to learn. Learning makes you knowledgeable, and being knowledgeable will allow you to grow. It's okay to fight. Fighting may not be healthy for the both of us, but it helps us. Every after we fight, we cleared things up.

"Asan ba kasi dito 'yong isa mong boxer para malabhan ko na ha?" I'm currently waking up my nobyo. Ako na nga madalas nag-lalaba sa mga damit namin dahil madalas nag-papalaundry naman kami, pero siya pa itong matigas ang ulo. Hindi man lang ako sinasagot!

Nagpatuloy akong mag hanap ng mga madumi niya pang damit dito sa kwarto nila. Habang tumatagal kasi, nagiging komportable na kami sa isa't isa. We don't mind doing each other's laundry even if it's our own underwears.

"Ito lang ba lahat? Lalabas na ako ah." But before I could turn my back nahila na niya ako pahiga sa kama. The clothes on the basket shuttered while I fell on his arms.

"What the?" I spat. Iyong madumi niyang underwear lang naman ay nahulog mismo sa mukha ko!

"Ano ba, Paul?" I said. Pilit akong kumakawala sa mga hawak niya. Pero ang higpit ng yakap niya sa beywang ko!

"We'll do that later." He responded and get the basket out of my hands. Kinuha niya rin ang mga damit na nahulog sa katawan ko at nilagay sa gilid.

He tightended his hug and kissed me on my cheeks. Ang aga-aga!

"Why so pilyo, ha?" I told him. Natawa naman kaming dalawa. He suddenly went above me to attached his lips on mine. He started to kiss it deeper along with our heart's beat raising faster and faster. I swear, I love my mornings with this idiot.

"Hand me the hanger nga babe." Nasa laundry area kami ngayon ng building. I extended my arms to get the hanger but it wasn't enough. Ba't ba ang taas nitong lalagyan?

"Ako na nga. Pandak mo naman." He chuckled.

Agad napataas ang kilay ko. Aba! Ngunit bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay narinig ko na ang tawag ni Yna.

"Guys lunch na muna." Pag-aya nito't umakyat nang muli.

Kumakain kaming apa't nang sabay sabay nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan.

"Oh, tita!"

"Gwapita!"

Agad kaming nag mano dito. "Kumusta ang bakasyon ninyo?" Ngiting tanong ng aking tiyahin.

"Okay naman po."

"Oo nga po. Nakapahinga din."

Christmas break na namin ngayon at nagpapahinga lang kami dito. Tinitigan ko silang lahat habang nagkukumustahan at nagtatawanan. I really have an awesome tita. Tinuturi niyang mga anak ang mga boarders dito. Sobrang saya kasama.

"Siya nga pala Gab, dito kana magdiwang ng pasko ah?"

Napatango nalang ako kay Tita. I wanted to go home sana but nang magusap kami ni mommy, she said it's okay daw to stay here para may kasama naman si Tita Anna dito. Tita has been alone for years already in every holidays dahil umuuwi naman ang mga boarders niya pag may mga espesiyal na okasyon upang ipagdiriwang kasama ang mga pamilya nila. I don't know about Paul thou, hindi pa namin napagusapan. Sina Z at Yna din.
