Disguise Inlove With You Pare (COMPLETED)

XXXIV. Late night visit

I snapped out of my trance when my phone vibrated again. This time, I paused the movie at saka ako nagpasyang sagutin.

Unknown number. Sino naman kaya ito?

With a deep sigh I pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" Malumanay na bungad ko. Trying to hide the nervousness I'm feeling.

"Ahl--" I heard the person from the other line said but his voice was suddenly replaced by a loud static causing my body to shiver.

Damn, why does this scene looks like a scene from a thriller movie?

Slowly, I put down my phone and stared at the time. It was now 2:59 am.

I was startled when I heard a knock on our front door.

Oh shit. I cursed under my breath bago tumayo at dahan dahang naglakad patungo sa may pintuan. Nang makarting ako sa pintuan, agad kong kinuha yung baseball bat na nakalagay sa lalagyanan namin ng payong sa gilid ng pinto. Okay, you must be wondering kung bakit may baseball bat kami sa gilid ng pinto. Well, it's for security purposes. You'll never know when an intruder will go to your house katulad nalang ngayon.

My grip tightened on the baseball bat habang humakbang ako papalapit sa pintuan upang buksan ito.

I breathed heavily before my other hands landed on the door knob.

Okay Ahliv, what ever happens you must tackle the intruder. He must not kill you. I reminded myself.

I counted up to three before I finally pulled the door open.

"Waaaaaaaaah!!" Sigaw ko nang buksan ko ang pinto habang inangat ang baseball bat at ihahampas na sana ito sa tao sa harapan ko ng masinagan ng ilaw mula sa loob ng bahay ang kanyang mukha.

My jaw dropped kasabay ng pagbaba ng kamay ko na may hawak ng baseball bat. My face went pale. This is so not happening. Nakakahiya.

"A-alex?"

His eyes were as wide as mine. He must've not expected this kind of welcome from me. Few awkward seconds later, he burst out laughing.

My cheeks heat up from embarassment. At talagang tinawanan pa talaga niya ko ha?

"S-sorry. A-kala ko intruder eh." Pagpapaliwanag ko, kahit na parang gusto ko nalang maglaho na parang bula dahil sa kahihiyan.

"It's okay. Atleast alam ko na ngayon na kaya ipagtanggol ng girlfriend ko ang sarili niya incase someone break in to her house." He said. I can sense some amusement in his tone.

Pero teka nga. Hindi ba at dapat ay nasa Ireland siya ngayon? Anong ginagawa niya dito? Specially at this time. Hello alas tres na kaya?

"Shouldnt you be in Ireland?"

He smiled bago inangat ang mga paper bag na bitbit niya. Teka, may mga dala pala siya. Masyado kasi akong naka focus sa mukha niya kaya di ko napansin na may dala pala siya.

"Sinabi mo sakin that you'll stay up late today when we talked online kaya naisipan ko na surprisahin ka. I called you, pero medyo mahina pala ang signal dito." Nag nod naman ako. Kung ganun ay siya pala ang tumawag sakin kanina. Pero teka bakit hindi yung number niya yung pinangtawag niya?

"It's because I lost my phone in Ireland, kaya bago na yung number ko. Don't forget to save it okay love?" Sagot niya sa tanong ko na napalakas ata kaya narinig niya.

Lumapit siya sakin at niyakap ako.

"I missed you so much."

"I missed you too Alex."
