Pagkaggising ko sa umaga, hinanda ko ang puso't isipan ko sa lahat ng maririnig ko kay Harry. Of all people, he's that person that made me feel like family.
I stepped out of the bathroom with a fresh and clean mind. Matapos magbihis at nagpatuyo ng buhok, nagpunta ako sa kuwarto ni Tyler para gisingin siya.
I wonder if he's awake already. I want to be the first thing he sees today before I leave. Dahil sa kaniya, gumaan ng lubos ang loob ko sa kabila ng mga natuklasan ko. He's my lifeline and I can't help but depend on him to the point that it scares me.
Kumatok ako ng tatlong beses, pero walang sumagot kaya pinihit ko na ang seradura ng pinto at walang pahintulot na pumasok.
Napangiti ako nang nakitang natutulog pa pala si Tyler. For a few moments, I just stood there and watched him in awe. Ang sarap niyang pagmasdan habang natutulog. Peace and warmth enveloped my heart. Natutukso akong huwag nang umalis at manatili nalang.
I climbed on his bed and reached him.
"Tyler, gising na," bulong ko habang tinatapik siya.
Hindi siya umimik kahit na napansin kong nagbago na ang ritmo ng paghinga niya. I softly planted a kiss on his cheek. He groaned when he felt my lips.
"Inaantok ka pa?" tanong ko.
He lightly nodded with his eyes shut and pulled me into his arms before locking me to him. "You should sleep more," he breathed and kissed my temple.
"Tyler," I called out.
He groaned again, ignoring me.
"Tyler," I whispered while giggling. Mas lalo niyang hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap sa akin.
"Are you leaving?" tanong niya sa malalim na boses. This husky morning voice, ang sarap sa tenga.
"May mga aasikasuhin ako," pagpapaalam ko sa kaniya.
His eyes opened wide. Nagkatitigan kami at nag-init ang mga pisngi ko. His dark eyes always make a way to capture me.
