Chapter 22
IT was 4pm when the guard gave me the two paper bags that are under Kier's name. It's two paper bags from different brands. Dolche Gabbana paper bag caught my attention the most because it's my favorite brand ever since I live in Italy. Well, I like their bags.
Hindi ko iyon binuksan o kahit sinilip para makita ang nasa loob no'n dahil wala naman akong maalalang binili na gano'n and besides, it's under Kier's name, not mine.
"Kier?" I called him as I sat on the couch and stared at the paper bags.
I heard his footsteps behind me. Nang makarating sa harap ko ay nakita niya agad ang dalawang paper bag.
"What is it, hon?" Nakakunot ang noo na tanong niya.
"Para sa 'yo raw 'yan. It's already paid and the guard just gave me this para ibigay ko sa 'yo." Ani ko.
Nakakunot pa rin ang noo niya at nagawa pang mameywang.
"Ano?" Tanong ko dahil mukhang wala siyang balak na kunin ang paper bags.
"Hindi mo ako tatanungin kung para kanino 'yan?" Tanong naman niya.
"Huh? Kunin mo na, magbibihis pa ako para sa lakad natin---"
"That's for you." He stated that made my forehead crease.
"This?" I asked to make sure and he nodded as an answer before he sat down beside me. Binalingan ko siya. Hindi pa rin sigurado.
Isang beses siyang tumango, "Open it, Kenna."
Inuna kong buksan iyong sa Burberry. There's a brown burberry box tied with a ribbon. Nang buksan ko iyon ay napangiti ako sa nakita. It's a honey colored heritage trench coat perfect for a cold weather and any kind of outfit.
Humarap ako kay Kier na nakasandal na ngayon sa couch at sinalubong ang tingin ko. "Thank you."
Pigil niya pa ang matawa bago ako sinagot, "I love you."
Umirap ako sa isinagot niya. Mamaya ka sa 'kin.
Humarap ako sa huling paper bag. I opened it and it's another box again. Nang buksan ko ay halos mapatalon ako sa tuwa.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Ang ganda!
It's a white small sicily bag. Alam ko dahil ito talaga yung plano kong bilhin once na makauwi ako sa Italy.
And oh, boy. I'm going to use this tonight. Gosh! Mom have the same sicily bag but hers is azure.
Ibinaba ko ang box kasama ng bag bago humarap kay Kier but, this time. I literally sat on his lap and showered his face with my kisses.
He's chuckling while I'm doing it. Gustong-gusto rin. Sa huling halik ay sa labi niya pero mabilis lang dahil niyakap ko siya agad at humilig sa dibdib niya.
"Thank you. You don't need to spoil me, really. But, still. . . thank you, Kier." I whispered.
Napangiti ako nang maramdaman at marinig ang pagtibok ng puso niya.
He hugged me tightly and I felt him kissed the top of my hair, "I know how much you like to collect bags and such. Seeing you happy is my happiness too. This is just small things and I can even give you more than this---"
"Which is tatanggihan ko na." Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap sa kanya pero nanatili ang dalawang braso niya sa likod ko bilang suporta para hindi ako mahulog sa pagkakaupo sa hita niya.
