You are My Home (PUBLISHED under LIB)

chapter 29

Hi sa mga taga Arayat Institute :) 

May nagpapabati kasi. Hahaha

SYDNEY'S POV

I woke up feeling heavy and tired. Medyo sumasakit din ang ulo ko.

I looked around my room only to find out na wala akong ibang kasama.

But I remember opening my door and seeing Andrei.

I suddenly felt scared. Natatakot ako hindi dahil baka nakita na niya ako, kundi dahil baka panaginip lang lahat at wala naman talagang Andrei na naghanap sakin.

Siguro nga.

Kasi kung totoo ang mga nangyari, I wouldn't be alone right now. Sobrang namimiss ko na siguro siya kaya napanaginipan ko siya.

I looked at the clock on my bedside table. It says 6:21 am. Early enough para makapasok ako sa 8:00 am class ko.

I stood up from the bed, not minding how my world spins uncontrollably.

I closed my eyes, trying to make myself feel better. Sinusubukan kong patigilin ang pag-ikot ng paningin ko. And fortunately, it somehow worked.

Hindi ngayon ang oras para magpatalo sa kahit anong sakit ng ulo. I have duties and responsibilities. At kung gusto kong may makain pa kinabukasan, kelangan kong gawin ang trabaho ko.

After fixing my bed, I went out of my room para makapag-ayos na. But I was surprised to see a figure in the kitchen.

A figure na kilalang kilala ko.

I want to cry. Gusto kong umiyak sa sobrang saya.

Unconsciously, I ran towards him and hugged him. I hugged him so tight, fearing he might disappear and everything is just a dream.

"Andrei." I said.

I was no longer able to control my tears. Kusa na silang tumutulo.

I buried my face on his chest.

When he finally hugged me back, I felt complete.

He hugged me so tight. At kahit na hindi na ko masyadong makahinga, I do not want him to let go of me.

We stood like that for a long time. My cry was the only audible sound.

Finally he said, "Hindi ka na galit sakin?"
