Chapter 25

Chapter 25

As days go by, I'm more curious about that woman who I concluded to be affiliated with Hrist. I wanted to ask Clajj but I don't have the right to be interested and involved in their matter.

"What are you thinking?" Clajj asked after surprisingly hugging me from behind.

I smiled before shaking my head and traced his hand around my waist. "Nothing, just random thoughts."

Clajj tighten his hug as if he couldn't get enough despite our close distance. "I really like your smell, it's addicting."

Natawa ako sa ginawa niya at lumayo ng kaunti para makita ang buo niyang mukha. "Kahit ba hindi ako nakaligo ng tatlong araw, aamoyin mo parin ang buhok ko?"

"Hon, knowing you, you won't endure not taking a bath that long." He lowly uttered.

"Given a situation nga lang." Sabi ko at lumayo sa kaniya.

"Of course, I'll still smell your hair."

I stared right into Clajj's eyes and sincerity was evident. I shrugged only to hide what I truly feel. This moment is so surreal. Us... having our time here in the tree house, doing kinds of stuff we desired without restraint 'cause in here, I made myself believe that I can do anything.

"Next weekend, will you come with me? Pupunta tayo sa isla ng La Societe."

Namilog ang mata ko sa tuwa pero saglit lang iyon nang may maalala. "Uhh— wala kang tutorial sessions sa Sabado? O baka may mga gagawin? I'm aware that you know how much I want to go there but let's not push it if our schedule's packed."

"Don't worry, we won't push it." He assured with a smile. I nodded and we continued our date for the day since both of us deserve to have a good time.

I didn't expect my Monday to be like this... being welcomed with such academic workloads. Dumagdag pa iyon sa sunod na mga araw kaya sinabi ko kay Clajj na baka hindi na matutuloy ang plano niya para sa amin dalawa ngayong darating na Sabado. At mas lalo pa kami naging abala pareho sa sumunod na linggo.

Though despite of being busy, Clajj and I still go home together, and we see each other during our vacant time. Minsan sa library kami nagkikita, sa school ground, at sa kung saan pa na tahimik.

Kahit isang college student si Clajj ay hindi niya pinaparamdam sa akin na abala ako sa kaniya. Surprisingly, he always have time for me. Ni minsan, hindi siya gumagawa ng bagay na ikaseselos ko. Hindi siya gumagawa ng bagay na ikakamali ko ng pag-intindi.

We sometimes fought about petty things but at the end of the day, he will apologize to me and asks for forgiveness even though I'm the one who was at fault.

For me, Clajj is a total package!

"Hi, did you wait for me that long?" I asked Clajj right after I draw near him. Kalalabas ko lang bahay dahil may plano kami para sa weekend na 'to. It supposedly last last week, pero ngayon lang matutuloy.

"Hindi naman," nakangiting sagot ni Clajj at kinuha mula sa akin ang string bag. "May dadaanan muna ako sa tree house bago tayo tumulak ng La Societe. Okay lang ba iyon sa'yo?"

"Oo naman! Walang problema iyon sa akin." Pagtatapat ko sa kaniya at kinuha ang helmet na palagi kong ginagamit tuwing sumasakay sa motor niya. "I already secured the locks of our house, and I think we're good to go."

Tumango si Clajj at ngumiti sa akin. Isinuot na niya ang helmet bago sumakay ng motor at iyon din ang ginawa ko. The ride was smooth and slightly slow, yet i don't have any complain since the morning Sun feels good to my skin.
