Simula nang gabing iyon, she and Shawn were officially a couple. Ibinalita niya iyon sa kaniyang pamilya na half-baked ang saya sa hindi niya malamang dahilan. Pero hindi naman umangal ang mga ito at suportado pa rin naman siya. Matanda na raw kasi siya at alam na ang ginagawa unlike before that she was a minor at walang tiyak na future.
Ganoon din ang reaksiyon ni January habang todo-suporta naman si Marc sa kanilang dalawa ni Shawn. And Francis? He was happy with her. Madalas nga lang itong tumawag sa kaniya para kumustahin si Shawn kagaya na lamang ngayon.
"Yes, I'm at his apartment. Nasa malapit ka ba? C'mon, come see me," wika niya rito. She missed him dahil hindi na sila nagkikita dahil busy ito.
"Hind ka ba uuwi sa farm?" tanong nito sa kaniya.
"No. Sa susunod na araw. I asked Ness to take over. At tsaka nandoon naman si Nanay at Tatay. Kaya na nila iyon," wika niya rito.
"What if Shawn proposed to you? Saan ka titira?"
Napaisip siya sa tanong nito. Hindi yata niya napaghandaan ang bagay na iyon. Pero hindi pa naman kasi nagpo-propose ang binata sa kaniya. They were just enjoying the company of each other. No pressure.
"So?" pukaw ni Francis sa kaniyang pananahimik.
"We haven't think about it."
"Pero kung seryoso siya sa iyo like what he was telling us then, hindi malayong mangyar iyon."
Oo nga naman pero hindi pa nga nila napag-uusapan iyon. So she doesn't really know the answer.
"Don't rush. I wanted my memories to be complete before we proceed to that part," sagot niya rito.
"Good! Don't rush!" matigas na utos nito sa kaniya.
Nagtaka siya sa sinabi nito at sa tono ng boses nito ngunit binalewala niya iyon dahil alam naman niyang protective masyado ang binata sa kaniya. They talked for some things again about his job and well being now also his chaotic lovelife. Wow! She has the nerve to say that because she has a good lovelife now.
Matapos ang pag-uusap nilang dalawa ni Francis ay nagpasya na siyang tingnan si Shawn sa kusina. As usual he was the one doing the cooking. She stood up and checked on him and yes, he was cooking their dinner.
She tiptoed and went to his back and encircled her arms on his waist. Napatingin naman ito sa kaniya at hinarap siya para bigyan din siya ng yakap at halik.
They shared couple of kisses before Shawn motioned her to sit and iyon nga ang ginawa niya. She just watched him do the cooking at nang matapos ay nagyaya na itong kumain. Of course, they needed to have dinner this early dahil marami pang agenda si Shawn sa kaniya.
After dinner, they watched movies agan. Ay hindi pala. The movie was watching them dahil iba naman ang pinaggagawa nilang dalawa. And that's their routine sa tuwing nagkakasama silang dalawa for about a month now.
And regarding her memories, bigla na lamang itong natigil noong nagsama na sila ni Shawn. Hindi niya alam kung bakit ganoon ang utak niya na may pagka-abnormal. Nevertheless, hindi naman niya pinipilit ang sarili na makaalala at mabuo ang nawalang alaala dahil masaya naman silang dalawa ni Shawn maging ng kaniyang pamilya. Ano pa ba ang hahanapin niya? Kung gustong makaalala ng utak niya, it will happen in God's perfect time.
"Are you busy tomorrow?" tanong ni Shawn sa kaniya habang nakayakap ito sa kaniya. They were resting after a hot steamy sex.
"Wala naman. Why?"
"It's my mother's birthday," sagot nito sa kaniya.
Napangiwi siya. In her memories, hindi siya gusto ng mommy nito. So if he was telling this, maybe she'll pass.
