Kinaumagahan
Ken and Catherine were looking for a hotel but those are fully booked
As Catherine's brother Cris called her
(Hey precious, where are you?)
" we were looking for a place to stay"
(Huh?, san pala kayo natulog ni Ken kagabi?)
"Ah sa kung san san lang" aniya while walking around the street and was looking for a place to stay
(Tell me hindi sa bar Catherine!) may tono sa boses na saad nito
"Kuya we slept on the ground!"
(Tsk! Make sure that you haven't been on a bar Catherine!) usal nito
"Hey Catherine, they said there are apartments around, apartment nalang siguro tayo, hirap na maghanap ng iba?" anito
"Kuya we gotta go na, bye bye!"
(Bye)
"But, we can stay din naman on my parents house" hilaw na tawa nitong suhestiyon
"Ano?" pagod na saad
"Eh ba't di mo sinabi kanina?" naiinis nitong saad
"It's kind of messy kasi out there eh, akala ko kasi makakabook tayo ng hotel"
"Tsk!, mag iisang oras na tayong nag iikot ikot Ken Lloyd jusko naman, hindi kaman lang nagsabi!"
"Hehe"
...
"I'll just call someone to clean these mess out here" anito at akma na sanang tutungo sa labas
"Ako na maglilinis!" inis na bulyaw nito as she glared at him
"Okay, i'll help nalang din"
"Where's your parents pala?"
"Philippines"
"We move out kasi may sira tung bahay nato eh"
"I almost died in here kasi yung air con sira, tapos it gives multiple of its coldness, even if we turn it off, or tanggalin yung main na saksakan hindi na sya maooff, tapos yung pintuan ng kwarto ko is bawal isara kasi nakalimutan ni mommy yung password ng pintuan"
"Maraming mga sira dito so, I really hope na may mabook tayong hotel room out there kaso wala"
"Okay nato noh!, pero pano nyu naoff yung aircon sa kwarto mo?"
"Nagbrown out kaya naoff sya,"
"Eh ba't di nyu inoff yung Main switch ng buong electricity sa buong bahay?"
"They didn't think about it" hilaw na tawa nito
" so siguro let's make space in here nalang para dito na tayo matutulog tonight para iwas kapahamakan na rin" saad nito na tinutukoy ang sala
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea"
As they start cleaning every edges on the house
"Uhm I think we need to take these stuffs to laundry nadin siguro tas daanin nalang natin pag uwi mamaya noh?" aniya hawak hawak ang mga beddings and comforters
Madaming naisip ang dalaga kasama ang binatang ito ngunit tingin talaga nito'y isa lamang syang nakatatandang kapatid
Andrew is 29 years old while Catherine were 25 and Ken were 27 years in age
He smiled while looking at her
"You know what?" nakangiting pabitin na saad nito
"What?"
"You're so beautiful"
"HAHAH, mambobola!" as he hit his arms so girly
"I am telling the truth"
As it reminds her of him again
"Andrew were afraid of letting me walk outside by myself baka kuhanin daw ako ng iba sa kanya" may lungkot sa ekspresyon nitong saad
"Nah, let's change the topic"
...
Sumakay na ito sa kotse na nirenta nila
"So where do we start?" tanong ni Ken sabay buntong hininga nito
"Hmm?" at nakatinginan
"Laundry shop I thiiinkk HAHAH" saad ni Catherine sabay na tawanan ng mga ito
They had fun all day
at gabi na nang makauwi
"Tabi tayo?" may ngiti sa labi ni Ken ang hindi nya kayang maipaliwanag na nararamdaman pag kasama ang babaeng unti unting sinasakop ang buong puso nya
"Sure!" mabilis na sagot naman ni Catherine
Being so much innocent
...
Minutes had passed
"Hindi ako makatulog" inis na bulong ni Catherine dito
"Ken?, ken?"
"Hmm?", anito habang nakapikit
"Antok kana?"
"Why?"
"Oo, Antok kana nga" aniya ng mapansin tinatamad ng bumangon ang binata
"I'm just tired, feels like I need your hug" nakangising saad nito sa dalaga
"Pero sasamahan mo'kong manood ng movie?"
"Hug muna!" anito
"Tsk!, sasamahan mo padin naman akong manood eh!" as she glared at him saka kinuha sa may maleta ang laptop na dala dala ng dalaga
"So what do we watch?" nakangiting tanong ni Catherine sa binata
"Nakalimutan ko nang kalimutan ka" seryosong usal nito
"Hm, nakita ko na yan eh" tanggi naman ng dalaga, sa tinatagong dahilan na ayaw nya nang umiyak kahit kailan
"Let's watch 365"
"Hmm ayoko," sa tinatagong dahilan na maaalala nyang muli ang agresibong minamahal
"Pano ba yung nararamdaman mo para sa pinsan ko?"
"Let's talk it out Catherine, para naman maibsan yang lungkot sa dibdib mo"
"Or you just wanna take the chance to comfort me and hug me hmm?"
He smiled
"You're right, but I really wanna hear your answer about how deep is your love for my cousin"
"Deeper than how you look at me"
"Hindi pa naman kita hinubaran sa mga mata ko, grabe ka sa'ken" he whispered
"Just kidding," ngiting pahabol ng binata
"C'mon let's watch Five-O"
"Oh, those famous police officers in Hawaii"
"Yeah, napanood mo na?"
"Nope, just a clip"
Napatango tango naman ang binibini sa sagot ng binata
As she was about to sat on Ken's right side who's been leaning on the edge of the couch when he grabbed her waist and let her sit on between his thighs
As the movie has begun
Kasabay ng mga braso nitong unti unting pinupulupot ang bewang ng dalaga
she didn't bothered to stop him and she even let herself fall on his arms
Even make his arms wrapped her waist tightly
Minutes had past and he didn't even notice that she fell asleep on his arms
He smiled and took the comforter and covered their self with the thing as he caressed her hair
He kissed the top of her head
...
A week had passed
Bago nila naisipang umuwi ng pilipinas
They were having fun of being with each other
Halos makalimutan na ang mga plano't mga sakit na nararamdaman
"Thanks for the company, I really enjoyed everything doctor Grey" na sya namang ikinatawa ng binata
"Don't be too formal Ms. Santos"
"Oh tingnan mo'to HAHAH" sabay na tawanan ng mga ito
"Uhm, next day of tomorrow will be my birthday so I expect you to be there"
"I'll be the earliest visitor who'll come" nakangiting tugon naman ni Ken
As the atmosphere got awkward
"Can I hug you?" lakas loon na saad nito
She smiled and open her arms widely
He suddenly hugged her tight as he kissed the top of her head
"Hope you'll be mine soon" bulong nito
