NOPI 58: I Know Your Secret

NOPI Chapter 58

Sephine's POV

"Anyways, I have some duties to attend to so I really need your help. All the other guys aren't here and you're our only salvation. Please heal him and make sure he returns back to normal" kumunot na ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Ed saka siya sinamaan ng tingin

Why do I feel like I fell right into his trap or something?

"What's with that look, Seph? I really have plans, okay! I'll leave you guys now. Okay? Okay! Thanks, Seph! Love ya, see ya! Bye!" tuloy tuloy niyang sabi at agad nang tumakbo paalis ng dorm nila kaya naman literal akong napanganga

This.. goofball! Tsk!

Whatever. I wanted to see him anyways. If he's sick, then all the more that I needed to see him.

Kumatok na ako sa pinto ni Charles at naghintay na may sumagot. Nang isang minuto na ang nakalipas at wala paring sumasagot ay pumasok na ako only to be shocked to the very core to see so many pictures of me at his wall.

Not me as in Josephine, but me as in Sephine.

Napatabon na ako ng bunganga ko gamit ang kanan kong kamay at lumapit na dun sa napakalawak niyang wall.

Hinawakan ko na ang wall gamit ang kaliwang kamay ko't tinignan na ang mga ito.

Me eating ice cream, reading a book, talking to my cousins, laughing and so much more. There are pictures where I know he took them but there are also some where I don't. Was he.. taking stolen pictures of me?

Napangiti ako nung makita ko 'yung magkahawak naming mga kamay, yung mga bracelets namin with our initials, 'yung pagkain namin nung pinakauna naming date, at napakarami pang iba.

This time, binaling ko na ang tingin ko sa lalaking natutulog sa kama niya ngayon.

Charles looked peaceful in his sleep. Although he was sweating and was frowning slightly because of his fever, he still looked handsome. I couldn't help but smile.

This.. damn, why is he so damn.. cute. *blushes

Umiling na ako't tinignan ulit ang mga pictures.

Looking at them hindi ko napansin at nagulat nang may biglang humawak ng kamay ko kaya naman napatingin na ako sa may ari ng napakainit na kamay na 'yon.

"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?" tanong ko pero umiling na siya't ngumiti

"Do you like it? I was supposed to surprise you but I guess you found out about it first" sagot niya kaya naman ngumiti na din ako saka tumango

"I was so surprised. I love it," sagot ko

"You're welcome. Why are you here? Did the mischief doer brought you here through force?" tanong niya kaya naman natawa ako kaagad dahil sa tawag niya kay Ed

"Anong gagawin mo kapag sinabi kong oo?" tanong ko

Nagulat nanaman ako ulit dahil bigla niya nalang akong niyakap.

"I'll make sure to award him when he returns" bulong niya kaya naman natawa na ako saka siya niyakap pabalik habang hinahagod hagod ang likuran niya

Silence enveloped the whole room. We were just embracing each other silently busy listening to beatings of our own hearts.

I don't even know why but our heart's beating in perfect sync.

Para bang walang nangyaring iyakan nung isang araw. Haha

"That's enough hugging, you can burn me with your temperature. Go back to bed," kumalas na ako't hinila ko na siya pabalik sa kama niya

Tahimik lang din naman siyang sumusunod at bumalik na sa kama pero nakapatong ang likuran niya sa headboard ng kama niya.
