Her Full-Time Apricity

Chapter 25: Send-Off

The next morning, I woke up due to someone’s knock outside my room.

Papikit-pikit pa akong bumangon para buksan yung pinto.

With my half-closed eyes, Kyle who’s holding a tray of food greeted me with his usual gummy smile. “Holabels! Good Morning!” He greeted, and I only nodded.

No words came from me dahil nga kakagising ko lang.

Ang kalat pa ng kwarto ko kasi hindi ko pa naitatabi sa closet yung mga bagong laba’t tiklop kong damit.

Bahala na.

I only opened my room’s door wide enough to let him in.

Tahimik ko rin na itinuro ang study table ko, at na gets naman ni Kyle ang ibig kong sabihin kaya ipinatong na niya sa desk yung tray. “7:00am na kaya ginising na kita. I have to make sure you’d at least have something before we leave.” He said before I entered my bathroom.

Clipping the front strands of my hair back, I already did my morning routine.

We’ll be leaving around 8:30am kaya binilisan ko na ang pag t-toothbrush at paghihilamos ng mukha. Nang makalabas ako ng banyo ay naabutan ko si Kyle na hina-hanger sa closet ko yung mga damit ko.

“Thanks.”

I said after drying my face.

“No worries, sige na kumain ka na diyan.”

He said, still organizing and placing my clothes inside my closet.

Like what he always does.

Kapag alam ni Kyle na I’m too exhausted or I’m too busy to even clean my room, he have always kindly did in my stead. Dati nagpapaalam pa siya at nag o-offer, pero ngayon nagkukusa na siya.

Hugging myself, I quietly approached him.

Medyo nagulat pa siya nang ma-realize na nasa likod na niya ako pagharap niya.

Leaning closer to him, I planted a kiss on his cheek.

“Good morning.”

I said, enough for us to hear.

Kyle then blanked out in front of me.

Making me tilt my head at him, like what he usually does. Maya-maya pa ay napatakip na ako sa tenga ko.

“Diyos ko, good morning talaga! Talaga namang good morning! After how many years, shutangina ilang taon ko na ‘tong hinintay, Lord!” He said, even doing little hops on his place. Yakap-yakap na rin niya yung mga nakatiklop kong damit na ilalagay na rin niya sana sa damitan ko.

“Kumain ka na ba?”

Tanong ko na lamang, in hopes to silence him.

“Busog na busog! Busog na busog sa pagmamahal mo, Nessa!”

Giving him a dead-pan look, I only shook my head in disbelief and already headed towards my desk where my food is.

“Nessa nag toothbrush ka pa talaga muna ah! Ang thoughtful, pero ano ba, I won’t mind naman kung hindi ka pa nakakapag toothbrush eh!” He said, nudging me with his elbow as I sat on my swivel chair.

“Labas.”

I sighed, looking up at him.

Ang ingay eh.

He only gave me his sweet smile for the nth time before taking a step away from me.

Kyle then finally zipped with mouth.
