Drown An Eye [UNEDITED]

DAE XXIII

It's been a week since noong nagkaaminan kami ni Shira ng nararamdaman, wala namang nangyare sa isang linggo na yun naging masmalapit lang kami sa isa't isa.

Pero dahil malapit na matapos ang semester ay masyado na siyang busy at minsan ko nalang ito nakikita sa bahay, dahil minsan sa office na siya natutulog.

It's 5pm right now and I'm driving to the university to see Shira at dalhan nadin siya ng dinner.

After a few minutes of driving narating ko na ang  parking lot ng university, I got out at agad ako binati ng mga students na nandito sa parking lot.

I saw one of Shira's students in her last class, "Hey excuse me, have you seen Professor Keirnan?" I asked the girl, napatingin naman ito sa akin.

"Nakita ko siya kaninang may kasabay na lalaki paasok sa office niya, yun lang naalala ko." napakunot naman ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi nito, lalaki? I don't remember her introducing me to a guy friend.

"Uhm do you know who the guy is?" I asked her, napaisi naman ito.

"Hindi mo pero I think he was a doctor dahil nakita ko ID nito." tumango nalang ako sa sinabi niya.

"Thank you..uhm?" natawa naman ito, "Kira, Shakira Navier Kaede." saad niya at nilahad ang kamay sa harap ko, agad ko naman itong tinanggap. "I'm guessing you already know me, but Kira as in your gf ng kapatid ni Kay na si Dan?" tanong ko sakanya at binitawan na yung kamay niya, tumango naman ito at tinignan ang wrist watch.

"I have to go Ryuu, I'll see you around?" she said and waved goodbye bago dali daling umalis, hindi ko na siya hinintay na tuluyang umalis at naglakad na diretso sa office ni Shira.

Guy? Doctor? who is it?

When I arrived infront of her office door, I was about to open it when I heard voice inside.

"Aren't you going to tell your fiance, Ashi?" a baritone voice can be heard inside her office, I'm guessing his the guy Kira was talking about.

Shira sighed, "I can't you know that I can't do that, Jav." Shira codly said that made the other sigh irritatedly.

"Whatever, I'm leaving it's your choice anyways.", after hearing that I opened the door and saw both of them surprised while looking at me.

"Uhm.. surprise?" hindi siguradong saad ko, nailing nalang ang lalaki at sinuot ang lab coat niya, he smiled at it "You must be Ashi's fiance Ryuu. Kaizen Javier Adler, nice to finally meet you." he said and offered me his hand, I was about to accept it when Shira talked.

"Don't accept it." binawa naman niya agad ang kamay niya dahil sa sinabi ni Shira at tumawa.

"Chill gal she's yours, I have to go now I still have work to do." he said while chuckling and smiled at me before leaving.

"Who was that?" I asked Shira, she heaved a sigh "My best friend since High School he came by to give me something I asked him for, what are you doing her love?" bigla naman nagkarera yung puso ko dahil sa tinawag nito sa akin.

"To bring you dinner and the condo is lonely without you, ako lang kaya isa dun since you got busy her." she stood up from her swivel chair and went to the couch tapping it para doon ako umupo.

Inilapag ko yung dala kong pagkain sa table niya at umupo na sa couch tulad ng sinabi niya, nabigla ako ng kumandong ito sa akin at niyakap ako bago binaon yung mukha niya sa leeg ko.

"Your tired?" naramdaman ko naman itong tumango kaya napangiti ako, I should ask her about what I heard kanina pero wag nalang muna.

I'll wait for her to say it first.

"You should take a day off." I said and hugged her back, naramdaman ko nman itong umiling kaya napabuntong hininga nalang ako.

"Have you experience being stuck in a dream before?" bigla nalang lumabas iyon sa bibig ko naramdaman ko naman itong kumalas sa pagkayakap sa akin at tinignan ako.

"Why?" she asked curiously, I chuckled.

"No reason, I was just thought that it was interesting." I said, tumango naman ito at ibinaon ulit yung mukha niya sa leeg ko.

"We here are you going to sleep tonight?" I asked her while caressing her hair.

"Home, I finished my work na. I can go home to you." she said softly that made me smile.

I heard her chuckle "Your heart, I can hear it." she said, "Hm..it must be calling for you." I said and hugged her tightly.

"What would you do if I disappear oke day?" she suddenly asked that made me stop and looked at her, she was looking at me too.

"Find you." I said.

"But what if you can't find me..?"

"Then I'll wait for you till you come back to me." I don't know why she's asking me this but I have a feeling that I should answer it seriously.

"Do you know something I don't?" she asked and looked at me seriously, I shook my head.

"None that I know off." I said and smiled at her, timango naman ito at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.

"Bar tayo mga bakla." saad ni Bre, nandito kami ngayon sa condo niya.

"Bakit ikaw ba magbabayad?" tanong ni Kay sumimangot naman su Bre at inirapan siya.

"Sama mo kapatid mo tapos yung jowa niya." saad ni Bre, ngumisi naman si Kay at kinuha selpon niya ara tawagan kapatid niya.

"What is it, gabi na wag mo akong guluhin ate!" bungad ng kapatid niya pagsagot niya sa tawag, "Ingay mo, sama daw kami ng jowa mo sa bar send ko nalang kung saang bar, we won't take no for an answer." saad ni Kay at inend na yung call, desisyonalism yarn.

"Arat na mga bakla!" excited na saad ni Kay, "Hoy pananghid sa mos inyong mga fiance." saad ni Luna habang tinuturo kaming dalawa ni Bre, napakamot naman si Bre ng noo habang gulong tinignan si Luna.

"Magpaalam daw muna tayo sa fiance natin." saad ko sakanya na ikinatango niya bago kinuha ang cp at tinext si Lia.

I opened my phone and dialed Shira's number, nasa bahay kasi siya ngayon ng tatay niya.

Agad naman niya itong sinagot "Yes love?" bungad niya, "Uhm..pwede sumama kila Luna magbar?" tanong ko sakanya.

"Okay, but tell me which bar akonsusundo sayo." ngumiti naman ako dahil sa sinabi nito.

"Thank you, love you!" saad ko at pinatay na yung tawag.

"Okay na?"

"Tara?"

"Let's go."

Sabay nilang saad tumango naman ako at sabay na kaming lumabas ng condo.
