Let Me

Chapter 27

"I warned you."

Pilit na iniiwas ko ang mukha sa kanya. Shet ang lapit kasi tapos nakaupo pa s'ya sa kandungan ko. Jusko ano ba ang nakain ng propesor kong ito?

Isang malaking tukso!

Inangat ko ang kamay saka ako umakto na zinizip ang bibig. Gusto ko sana s'ya itulak kaso hindi ko naman magagawa kasi taksil ang katawan ko.

Ang sabihin mo, gustong gusto mo din! Hoy utak na manyak manahimik ka.

"Aalis na po ako." I was about to stand pero nag pabigat s'ya kaya napaupo ulit ako.

I can't handle this anymore!

Her face softens and looking so vulnerable at the moment. I was caught off guard nang bigla n'ya nalang hinilig ang ulo sa dibdib ko as she wrapped her little arms around my waist. I froze instant. Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko, omg.. Is she planning to kill me?!

"M-ma'am.." Hindi ko alam ang gagawin kung yayakapin ko ba pabalik o hahawakan man lang.

"Stay." She murmured,

I shut my eyes tightly. I let her melt my walls and hugged her back, gently caressing her back.

We stayed in that position for a while not until my shirt is getting wet by something, her shoulder are moving and I can hear her little sobs.

Bakit umiyak?! Oh my gosh! Akala ko ipapasalvage ako pero bakit ako iniyakan? Jusko po

"Why are you crying?" Natatarantang tanong ko. I tried cupping her face with my palms to face me but lalo n'ya lang sinubsub ang mukha sa dibdib ko.

"Have you change of heart?" Her voice is muffled, but it is still understandable.

Sinilip n'ya ako at ng mataman na nakatingin ako sa kanya ay agad din nito tinago ang mukha. Cute.

Change of heart? Of course not.

"Huh?"

"You don't like me anymore?" She said like a kid na para bang nagsusumbong na inaaway ito.

Why is she acting like this? I don't know what happened at bigla s'ya nagkakaganito. Okay naman kami ah?

Hinaplos ko ng maingat ang kanyang buhok while my hand is still at her back. I feel like I am earning a soft spot in her heart, she's giving me path to her her soul.

"It will always be you. Ikaw lang.. Sayo lang."

Inangat n'ya ang kanyang tingin upang sipatin kung nagsasabi ba ako ng totoo. I chuckled softly, her cheeks are red as well as her nose. Sarap kurutin. I lift my hand to wipe her tears,

"Promise?" I am amused, para s'yang bata na sumisinghot.

I don't do promises my love, but for you.. I will.

"Promise." I smiled sweetly na napalitan ng pilyang ngiti. Kumunot ang noo nito,

"What?" Okay back to normal na ang grumpy baby ko, masungit na naman s'ya at bakas ang pagiging intimidating n'ya.

"Let's seal my promise with a kiss." I jokingly said, as expected she rolled her eyes.

"Stupid." Lumayo na ito ng kaunti sa'kin pero nakaupo pa din sa lap ko.
