HEARTS LEGACY: PEARL

10: I LOVE YOU

Hindi ako nakatulog kagabi. Samot sari ang pumasok sa utak ko. Nag-iyakan din kami. Puno ng pangaral si Alex about what happen to her na naging resulta si Kim. Having baby Kim in this house was amazing, but I don't think I'm ready to be a mom. Pano nalang ang pag aaral ko? Si madam?

Ano kayang magiging reaction ni Kirvy?

I stayed up all night. Tanaw ko na mula dito sa bintana ang paparating na araw. Ayoko na munang mag-isip, pero hindi ko kayang mag relax knowing we've been together for more than a month and not even once we used birth control.

"Papasok kapa? Mukha kanang zombie!" Tanong ni Irish.

"Matutulog muna ako. Wala pa akong tulog."

"How I wish I could help you with your dillema. Ang ma e tutulong ko lang talaga ay bantayang wag ahasin ang jowa mo. Wag kang mag alala sasabunutan ko ang kilikili nong bruha." Natawa ako kay Irish.

I must have been dreaming that someone was kissing me. It's quite scary. Suddenly, a flashback came through from what had happened before, and I got scared. With all my power and strength, I kick whoever is kissing me.

"Ouchh! That hurts!" Biglang dumilat ang mata ko ng marinig ko ang boses ni Kirvy.

"Kirvy? Kirvy?" Tawag ko dito.

"Now what? Hahanap hanapin moko after mo akong sipain?" Busangot ang mukha nito at agad kong dinaluhan sa sahig.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito? Paano ka nakapasok?"

"Dinadalaw ka! Sabi ng mga kapatid mo may sakit ka raw kaya nag half day lang din ako kasi gusto kitang makita at ma alagaan. Sa bintana ako dumaan para huwag makita ng kasambahay ninyo."

"Hindi pwede! Malapit na ang exam! Dapat ayusin mo muna ang grades mo!"

"Maayos naman ahh! Dalawang kick out at isang detention will not harm my grades!"

"Kahit na! Wala akong sakit. Hindi lang ako nakatulog kagabi!"

"Insomnia?"

"It's more serious than that!" Umiwas ako ng tingin at bumalik sa kama at humiga.

"Hey, what's wrong?" humiga din siya sa kama paharap sa akin at niyakap ako.

Ohhh, I love this guy!

"I was thinking about US!" Biglang nag-iba ang mukha nito at parang natatae.

"Are you---are you breaking up with me?"

"Hell no!" Why would I!"

"Thanks, God! Then what is it?" Balik higa niya.

"Do you realize that we have been having sex and we--"

"Stop! We never had sex! What we have been doing is love! We're making love! It is not just sex!"

"I know! But you didn't use a condom! What if-- what if--I got pregnant!"

"Yeah, you're right. I forgot about it. But what do I know about condoms? I was a virgin, too, when we were doing it. And I always lost my ability to think with you."

"What it's like to be with me anyway?"

"Unexplainable! It's a wonderful feeling that everything seems right. We were too young to have families, but if ever our love will bless a baby, I would never leave you. I will not run from my responsibility to you and our baby. I will be with you to support you. So, relax, ok? From now on, I will use control!"

"I love you!" I kiss him! I don't mind saying I love him because that's what I feel for him.

"I love you too, P! So much. And someday, I want to marry you and wake up every morning with you and build an army of babies with you."

"Oh, I sure love that. It's you. I want to spend my whole lifetime Kirv, only you!"

And we kissed like no tomorrow. The fire is burning again. But Kirvy always has good self-control.

"Kirvy......"

"Sorry baby, let's stop right now because we don't have any condoms. I still need to buy a box of those things. As long as no gloves, no rubs!"

Sinapak ko siya kasi nawatawa ako sa sinabi niyang no gloves no rub. Baliw talaga. We just end up hugging each other and sleeping together. I don't know how long but it's one of my best sleeps being in his arms. Nagising nalang akong parang may nakatingin sa amin at nag uunahan at nag tutulakan

"Ikaw na Peyt"- Kelly

"Anong ako? Ikaw Kel!"

"Ayoko! Baka sabunutan ako! Si Alex nalang!"

"Ako na nga lang!" Kilala ko ang boses na yun si Irish.

"Ang ingay niyo!" Reklamo ko.

"Hay salamat at nagising kana!"-Alex

"Anong oras na?"

"9pm na! Kanina ka pa pinapagising ni manang Flor kaso hindi ka raw bumaba ng lunch. Late na rin para dinner mo baka daw magkasakit ka!"-Kelly.

"That late? Kirvy! Wake up! Need mo nang umuwi sa inyo! Hoy!" Uga ko dito pero mantika talaga.

"Ano bang ginawa mo d'yan at mukhang pagod? Siguro nag bahay-bahayan kayo ano?"-Irish

"Sira! Nag-usap lang kami oi! Isa pa nagkaliwanagan na kami sa consequenses if ever may mabuo."

"Good! At least both of you know. Pero sa tingin ko good boy naman 'yan hindi kagaya nung tatay ni Kim!"-Alex

Ilang sandali pa ay nagising na si Kirvy at nahiya ito ng makitang naka palibot ang lima kong kapatid sa harapan namin na tila nang aakusa.

"Girls cut it out! Tinatakot n'yo naman si Kirvy eh."

"Hehehe...mabait kami sis. Kay manang ka mag alala na eskandalo atah ng pasukin ka ditong may kayakap na lalaki." dahil sa sinabi ni Kelly ay bigla akong nag-aalala baka magsumbong kay mommy.

"Kirvy, how did you find out where I live?"

"Your sister Peyton, write me a sketch on how to get her. Even a secret door on how to get in using your window."

Naka ngiting nag peace sign si Peyton, na pailing lang ako kasi kahit mahinhin to may talent pala itong magnakaw sa future.

Pag baba namin katakot takot ang tingin ni manang. Ginisa pa nito ng mga tanong si Kirvy. Ang mas sweet eh yung tinanong ni manang "gaano mo ka mahal ang alaga ko?!" Concern din pala siya sa amin. Buti at na sagot ni Kirvy ng tama ang mga tanong nito.

"Whew, graveh si manang."-Kirvy

"I know, late na, Ingat sa pag uwi!"

"I love you, P; come what may, I will always be with you! I will always love you! Think about that!"

And he kissed me. I clung to him and kissed him back. We stayed like that for I don't know how long. When we break the kiss, it's like I miss him already. He waved at me goodbye.

"Graveh naman yang syota mo kung makahigop diyan sa labi mo kala mo may sabaw, mga kabataan nga naman." Natawa ako sa sinabi ni manang. Hahaha kanina pa pala siya nakamasid.

"Si manang talaga. I love you manang." At niyakap ko sya. Ganun kami naglakad pa pasok ng bahay.
