Chapter 27. Brightest star

Lianah's Pov

"The stars are shining so bright" I spoke out of the blue while looking up at the stars above. Zander and I were on the veranda of my room here in the hospital. Gusto kong magpahangin kahit saglit man lang. Gabi na rin at medyo lumalamig na ang simoy ng hangin but I don't mind because Zander is hugging me from behind.

I smiled and look up again. I'm sure ate was one of them. Napangiti ako sa naisip. Yes, you read it right. Ate is dead. Kakasabi lang sa'kin ni Zander kanina nung kaming dalawa na lang daw ang naiwan. Hindi ako maka-move on pero kahit na gano'n, I'm still thankful because finally, she can rest there together with her real parents.

"Yes. But you are the brightest star" he said as I felt his hot breath on my nape.

It gives shiver down to my spine but I manage to ignored it.

Napakunot naman ang noo ko nung maalala ang sinabi niya.

"What do you mean?" I asked out curiosity.

I felt his hand held mine at pinihit niya ako paharap sa kanya. He lean forward closing the distance of us. Hindi ako nakagalaw nung napasandal ako sa railings ng veranda. His both arms are on my side. Now I'm trapped.

"Hmm. What I mean to say is, no matter how bright the stars is, in the dark sky, you're still the brightest. You know why?" he asked and I shooked my head. Mas lalo akong naguluhan ano ba yan. Bakit kaya ako naging slow. Ito naman kasi, hindi pa sabihin ng diretso, ang dami pang sinasabi. "Because you are Lianah"

"H-huh?" Napakamot ako sa ulo. Hindi ko ma-gets eh. Ako nga si Lianah. Eh ano naman ngayon?

Nakita ko siyang napapikit ng mariin kaya napalunok ako. Mukhang nawawalan na ng pasensya dahil ang slow ko. Mas lalo niyang nilapit ang mukha niya sa'kin at ilang pulgada na lang ay maghahalikan na kami. Napigil ko ang sariling hininga when I so him licked his lower lip. I gulped. My goodness. I'm tempted.

"Slow. Tsk. You wan't me to say it in  tagalog?"

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Nang-aasar ka lang ata" saad ko na may halong inis ang boses. Ano bang tingin niya. Hindi ako marunong mag-english. Duh. I rolled my eyes at him and cross my arms above my chest but I just saw him smirked.

"It's simple. You're shining on your own way. You don't need to be a famous star to shine bright. You're being yourself and you're very simple strong girl and that what makes you shine brighter than the others"

I admit it, na-touch ako sa sinabi niya. Meron pang magkaka-rhymes. Pero......"Akala ko ba itatagalog mo?" Tanong ko sa kanya ng may nang-aasar na boses. Natigilan naman siya pero saglit lang. I chuckled. Well, he knows how to speak in tagalog pero mas comfortable siya sa english laguages with his Australian accent. So cool.

"Hindi na kailangan yun. You know that I'm not comfortable with that but if you wan't too, tell me so that I can speak full tagalog when I'm with you" he said with a smile plastered on his handsome face. My heart almost melt with that sight. Parang gusto ko na lang siyang titigan maghapon at magdamag, hinding-hindi ako magsasawa.

What he just said almost made my heart gone wild. Ngayon lang siya naging sweet ng ganito. He really wan't to do everything I wan't. How touching.

I smiled at him and hugged him tight as he also hugged me back pero may naalala ako kaya kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap niya.

"You're dad"

"What about him"

"Wala lang. Hindi ko pa kasi siya naririnig na nagsalita ng tagalog. Curios lang ako" nakangusong saad ko na nagpangiti naman sa kanya. He pinched my both cheeks bago niya ako iginiya sa isang upuan na jensen chair. Uupo na sana ako sa isa pang upuan sa tabi niya pero naramdaman kong hinila niya ako dahilan para mapaupo ako sa kandungan niya.
