Chapter 29: I Love You
SASHA REIN SALVATORE
It's been a month since we came here to the province of Aurora and it's great. Today is our last day here. And tomorrow, back to our lives na. May mga nakilala na rin kaming mga nakatira dito at lahat sila welcoming. Para kaming nagkaroon ng panibagong pamilya dito kaya hindi ko sila kakalimutan.
"Ate Ganda?" I look up and see Jeremy, Manang Iska's son. He's 8 years old and he's so cute.
"Hey little guy, come in. Anong need mo?" I motioned him to come inside and sit beside me. I'm just reading some books while Travis is sleeping inside. Napagod ata dahil tinulungan niya sila Mang Caloy kahapon na mangisda. Nakakagulat nga dahil he's the one who volunteered to help.
I put the book on the table and looked at him.
"Gusto ko po sana kayong isama sa simbahan po. Ipapakilala ko po kayo sa kaibigan kong si Joy." Natawa naman ako kasi bigla siyang namula. Pinisil ko ang pisngi niya.
"You like her, ano? That girl Joy?" Mas lalo naman siyang namula sa sinabi ko kaya mas lalo kong pinanggigilan ang pisngi niya.
"You're so cute talaga. But no need to be shy about it, lil bud. It's okay to have crushes at your age. Just don't neglect your study."
"Ate Ganda naman. Hindi ko po talaga papabayaan ang pag-aaral ko, pangarap ko po kayang maging doktor." Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi niya.
"Dahil diyan, sige sasama ako. Anong oras ba?"
"3 po, isama niyo na lang din po si Kuya Jax."
"Sige, sige. Pupunta kami."
Pagkatapos nun ay umalis na rin siya. Aayusin niya pa raw ang isusuot niya. Ang cute.
Mag tatanghalian pa lang naman kaya nag-prepare na ako ng lulutuin.
I was cooking pasta when someone wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned his head on my shoulder.
"Did you sleep well?"
I can feel him nodding. He's smelling my hair and kissing my shoulders.
"I need to cook," I said as I tried to remove his arms that were wrapped around me.
"Then cook. Don't mind me." I mentally rolled my eyes. Nagpatuloy ako sa pagluluto habang nakayakap pa rin siya sa akin.
I finished cooking na gano'n ang set-up namin. Bumitaw lang siya nung matapos kong ihanda ang maliit naming lamesa dito.
"Iniimbita nga pala tayo ni Jeremy sa simbahan mamaya. Gusto raw tayo ipakilala sa crush niyang si Joy." Hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti dahil sa naaalala ko kung paano pumula 'yung bilugang pisngi ni Jeremy. Medyo chubby cheeks kasi si Jeremy pero napakapogi.
"What time?" he asked while drinking his coffee.
"3 pm. Sasama ka ba? You can stay here and sleep if you want. I know you're tired." He shook his hand.
"Sasama ako. Besides, I've slept enough." Tumango na lang ako at pinagpatuloy na ang pagkain.
We finished our lunch and he volunteered to do the dishes. Ako raw kasi ang nagluto. Ganito siya. When I do something, he'll do one thing too. Para daw fair. Which is such a warm gesture for me.
Nakaupo kami ngayon habang nakaharap sa dagat. Nakahiga siya sa mga hita ko habang ako ay nagbabasa ulit ng libro. Wala akong ibang libangan dito kundi magbasa ng libro. Hindi kasi ako nagpalagay ng TV.
He's playing the fingers on my left hand kaya naman isang kamay lang ang gamit ko sa pagbabasa ng libro.
"Sasha," he muttered.
