I turned off my phone pagkatapos kong sinend yun sa kanya at naisipan kong matulog na rin because may class pa tomorrow, I mean later. I'm also glad that tomorrow's thursday kasi sa 11am pa naman class ko, so I have enough time to sleep.
Just as I was going to close my eyes, tumunog ang phone ko. Kaya, I grabbed it from my bedside table at tinignan kung ano meron.
I got surprised when I saw a text from Juan.
Text Message Notification
Juan GDL - Eva, please don't sleep yet. I'm outside your house •6s
Dumilat ang mga mata ko upon reading his message kaya I immediately tap his message tapos I also tap his name, para matawagan siya. After a ring, I heard Juan picked it up.
"Huy, nasa labas ka?" I asked him right after he answered kagad. Ba't ba siya nasa labas?
"Yes, I am. Can you go out?" He whispers in a husky voice that made him sounds na kakagising niya lang. Don't tell me, he slept inside his car and been waiting outside of our house? Oh God.
"Okay. I'll be down in a minute" Inend ko ang tawag and I quickly get up from my bed para pumunta sa closet to get a hoodie. Isinuot ko iyon and lumabas ng kwarto.
When I walked out, lahat ng main lights namin dito sa bahay we're off except nung chandelier namin sa living room na ngayon yellow-dim na yung ilaw for overnight purposes, para naman may konti pa ring ilaw and nakikita pa namin yung dinadaanan namin.
Dahan-dahan akong bumaba sa stairs since my parents are already home and so they wouldn't wake up. Or else, patay talaga ako nito. This is my first time that I'm going to go out at passed midnight just because of a guy. Usually kasi, in times like this, it's all about academic thing yung reason ba't ako lumalabas ng bahay sa madaling araw. And this one is different.
I reached at the end of the stair tapos I walked to the main door and carefully and quietly kong inunlock yung mga lock ng pinto namin.
Once I finished unlocking it, lumabas na'ko and also closed the door back din baka mamaya, may bababa tapos mapapansin na nakabukas yung pinto. Tumungo na'ko sa gate namin and again, tahimik ko rin binuksan yung gate trying not to make loud sounds.
Damn, I feel like a bad girl.
Nabuksan ko na yung gate and also closed it too. Hinanap ko ang sasakyan ni Juan, and I saw his car sa unahan, nakapark. Just next to our house. So lumapit ako doon and I knocked the front seat's window.
I heard it unlock kaya binuksan ko na yung pinto and hopped inside.
"Hey"
"Hey, why are you here? It's almost 1 a.m na Juan and we still have classes tomorrow" Sabi ko sa kanya when I get in.
"I was here pa kanina Eva. And talaga bang you don't feel bad at me?...on what I said?" He asks as he stares at me. "I'm still worried pa rin kasi"
Hinawakan ko naman yung mukha ni Juan and shook my head. "Hindi nga. And why would I too? The reason nga kasi why I didn't reply and answer your calls, it's because I don't really know what to say. I did not really expect it. You just caught me off guard Juan"
