NOPI 67: My Most Precious Blessing

After waking up at 6, after taking a bath and brushing my teeth, the moment I opened my laptop and saw the School Forum..

My post was at the very top.

*

Napamulat na ako ng mga mata ko nang makaamoy ako ng mabangong luto.

Someone's cooking? I thought my brothers would bring some dishes from the cafeteria?

Bumangon na ko't lumabas ng room saka dumiretso sa kusina.

What I saw wasn't even a part of my imagination.

An angel. There's an angel in the kitchen.

The angel's wearing a blue apron - my apron, holding a spatula, humming a tune and was smiling..

It's her. Sephine's cooking something in our dorm room's kitchen and the guys were just watching her.

"Ah, hubby's here~" sabi ni Ed dahilan kung bakit sila napatingin sa akin

The moment my eyes met Sephine's black orbs, I was speechless.

"Can you guys.. leave us for a moment?" tanong ni Sephine dahilan kung bakit ako nagising sa pagde-day dream

On cue nama'y nagreklamo ang mga barkada.

"Eyyy~ Mauubos ni hubby ang luto mo, Seph!" - Ed

"I know right?! He's the King of Jealousy after all!" - Ken

"And selfish, right? He'll finish them all!" - Rico

Dadagdagan pa sana ni Rod ang mga ipinangsisigaw nila pero agad ko na siyang sinamaan ng tingin dahilan kung bakit siya napalunok.

"Ahehe, we'll leave. We'll leave, okay?" sabay hila ni Rod sa ibang boys saka sila lumabas ng kusina't isinara na ang pintuan

Nang makalabas na sila ay hinarap ko na kaagad si Seph na sa kasalukuyan ay naglalakad na papunta sa akin.

"Seph, I'm sorry, I--"

Napanganga ako nang bigla niyang isabit ang mga kamay niya sa leeg ko't hinila... at hinalikan sa labi.

"..............." - me

"Stupid Charles. I thought you were smart? Bakit ba hindi mo ako pinapatapos sa pagsasalita at agad nang gumagawa ng iba't ibang conclusion?" tanong niya kaya naman hindi pa ako nakapagsalita

Lumapit naman siya ulit saka ako hinalikan sa noo.

".............."

"Stupid, stupid Charles. Bakit ba negative lahat ng naisip mo ha? Hindi ba pwedeng dahil sobrang na-move ako sa ginawa mo eh hindi ako nakasagot?" tanong niya ulit kaya naman hindi pa rin ako nakapagsalita

This time, she kissed me on the tip of my nose and smiled.

"I can't believe you did that just for me. Hearing your apologetic voice, I just couldn't help it and made my way here" sagot niya

"Then.. you're not angry at me but felt moved instead?" tanong ko't agad namang siyang tumango

"When I arrived with the others, they told me you were asleep, probably because you were busy deciding whether to post the thread or not up until 4am. I wanted to do something for you, so nagdecide akong magluto" sagot niya kaya naman napangiti na ako

"Thanks, Seph"

"No, thank you. Thank you, Charles. No one has been this nice to me. You're.. you're so unbelievable" sabi niya't unexpectedly.. a tear dropped from her right eye which shocked me

This time ako na ang humalik sakanya. Pero sa kanang mata niya lang.

Soft little and quick kisses.

"Why are you crying so suddenly?" bulong ko't agad naman siyang natawa

"Maniniwala ka ba kapag sinabi kong tears of joy 'to? How could you shower me with so much love and affection? It's overwhelming me to the point of tearing up" tanong niya kaya naman napangiti na ako

"You're mine and I'm yours. As long as you love me, I would pamper you to the ends of the earth. I was reflecting about us lately and I thought that maybe I had to go through the pain of losing someone important to me.. in order to meet someone new"

"My sister.. I think she led you to me instead of leading me to you. You.. You're the most precious blessing I have ever received in my whole life, Seph. I'm only nice.. to you" dagdag ko

"I love you, Charles" sabi niya't agad na akong niyakap kaya naman niyakap ko na din siya, burrying my face on her neck and shoulder.. making sure to inhale her sweet strawberry scent

"I love you too, Sephine"
