Death Threat Illusion

꧁♠21꧂

(Previously)

Pumasok na ako sa opisina ko at umupo sa swivel chair. Nasa gilid ko naman sina Can't at Can na prenteng nakaupo. Sumandal at nag-isip.

"Ano ang gagawin ko?" I said as I tap my fingers on the table.

Acereath's POV

Nandito kami ni Toni sa airport at handang pumunta sa bansang Italya. Sumama ako sa kaniya papunta doon dahil doon ila-launch ang bago niyang exhibit and I'm excited for her, I mean who wouldn't be excited for their girls success? Right.

It will take us one week doon, alam ko naman na hindi ako ma bo-bored kasi nandoon naman ang mahal ko.

"Honey, it's time" My girl said as she slips her hands on my hand. In short we're holding hands.

"Aside from your exhibit, what are you going to do in there? Business?" Tanong ko sa kaniya na hindi man lang siya nililingon.

"Mafia things" She smiled that almost melt my heart.

Tumango naman ako. Nakapasok na kami sa eroplano at nasa may bintana siya. I know she likes sceneries.

Inilagay ko ang kamay ko sa likod niya at tinitigan ang magandang view, which is her of course. Ayaw ko man sanang iwan ang trabaho ko pero I don't want my girl to feel sad that she's not my very first priority.

Kaya noong sinabi ko sa kaniya na sasama ako eh, agad nagliwanag ang mukha niya. I love making her happy. That's the best feeling you can achieve.

"You can lean on my shoulder if you want" Saad ko sa kaniya, tumingin siya sa akin at ngumiti. Sumandal din naman siya sa akin at ilang minuto ang lumipas nakatulog siya.

I've been inlove with her since two years ago. I don't even know what we are right now. I didn't ask to court her, for real. I just want the both of us to stay like this. I can say our relationship doesn't have any label but I know we love each other. We've been going on like this since I came back here in the Philippines.

My parents like her, of course they would since they know her when she's still young. But I don't know for Aser. I can see that she doesn't like my girl. The way she treated her as if she's invisible.

Toni won't feel glad if one of my family doesn't accept her. I already talk to her that I would do something about my sister. I did talk to Aser but her responds are few. One word. Yeah, just one word. I ask her plenty of times but in the end she just shrugged and then would say..

"Ang tanga mo, promise"

I close my eyes for a bit. I know she doesn't have a filter on her mouth. Yan ang paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi sa akin na tanga daw ako. Tinanong ko kung bakit ang tanga ko daw tapos sasabihin niya lang.

"Find it out on your own, bobo"

I gladly accept her insults. Ni isa kasing dahilan kung bakit ayaw niya kay Toni ay hindi ko alam. I also ask her best friend Tomi pero tikom lang ang bibig non. Bungangera iyon pero noong tinanong ko na, ayaw mag salita tapos yung mga mata niya ay parang malungkot.

Labing-isang oras ang kailangan papuntang Italya. Gusto ko man sanang gumalaw kaso baka magising ang mahal ko. Tapos kapag biyahe, hindi talaga ako makakatulog. Ganyan ako dati pa, eh bakit pa kasi ako matutulog, masasayang lang yung mga scenery na minsan mo lang makita. Alam ko namang puro ulap lang dito pero pwede ba iyon. Also, I need to be aware of the surroundings, I don't want my girl to be in danger. I might cut myself if something bad would happen to my girl.

Noong may dumaan na isang flight attendant, siguro upang tingnan kung natutulog na ang lahat, tapos noong nakita niya ako, agad siyang bumati ng magandang umaga.
