Her Deceitful Adonis

Lesson 25

Author's Note: "Tell me sweetheart, how deep is your love?"

****

Avery Rain Santillan

I woke up the next morning feeling lighter than I was yesterday. Mas masarap talaga sa pakiramdam if you'd let go of those things that burdens your heart.

Forgiveness is one hard thing to give and takes a lot of courage for you to give but I managed it. It was just your what ifs that's making it hard for you to do.

This day is brighter than my usual days and I'm loving it!

I wouldn't deny that I'm anticipating what Kyron will do on his first day as my suitor. Hindi naman na niya kailangang gawin yun dahil alam naman niya kung ano ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya but since he insisted, I'm willing to feel all the love he has for me.

My thoughts were disturbed by three loud knocks. Bumangon ako sa kama at pinagbuksan ng pinto ang kung sino man nasa likod noon.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang ngiti ko ng bumungad sa mukha ko ang maraming tulips with different colors. He really knows what's my favorite. Kinuha ko ang mga bulaklak and I was surprised to see him holding a guitar.

"Good morning sweetheart. Manghaharana lang sana ako sa umaga para lang maiba." That enigmatic smile of his was enough to make my heart thump madly.

Oo nga naman. Kadalasan sa gabi nanghaharana ang mga lalake. But him? Manghaharana lang naman siya ng alas sais ng umaga dito sa London. How was that?

"Ehem, ehem, pardon my voice for this morning miss. Medyo hindi pa ako nakakapagvocalize ng maayos." He strummed the strings of the guitar then started playing. "Paalam na... Aking mahal..."

"Ano? Paalam na?" Pilit kong inabot ang buhok niya at inis na sinabunutan siya. Bwusit tong lalakeng to. Paalam na?

"Ah—Aray! Nagbibiro lang ako. Ang seryoso naman kasi ng mukha mo. Talo ko pa ang nag-aaudition para sa isang talent search." Inayos niya ang buhok niya saka ngumiti ulit sa akin ng matamis. "Smile para naman mas lalo akong mainlove sayo."

"Ah so kapag nakasimangot ako, hindi mo na ako mahal Kyron? Ganun ba yun?"

"Kaya nga sabi ko para mas lalo akong mainlove. Hindi ko sinabing para mainlove ako sayo. Nakangiti ka man o hindi, I'm still in love with you. I love you Avery."

He started playing again, this time, the familiar tune of I'm Yours by Jason Mraz serenaded my ears in the cold morning winter breeze of London.

"Well you done done me and you bet I felt it,
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted," I laughed when he winked at me. He was just so cute!

"I fell right through the cracks,
Now I'm trying to get back,
Before the cool done run out I'll be, giving it my bestest,
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention,
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some..." He then fixed is eyes on my and sang the chorus passionately. "But I won't hesitate no more, no more,
It cannot wait, I'm yours..."

"Really? You're mine?" Paniniguro ko sa kanya habang tumutugtog siya.

Instead of answering my question, he strummed the guitar again then he smirked at me."Well open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you're free,
Look into my heart and you'll find love Avery love Avery..."
