《Haven In Your Arms (ON-GOING)》Chapter 3

stared at each other for a long time before I broke the silence.
“Uhmm… what took you here, Mickel? I mean… it seemed that you just arrived here in Castile.”
“Yeah, I just arrived and went right through here. I… I and I just wanna see you,” he said still staring straight into my eyes.
“You can still see me tomorrow. I bet you didn’t rest yet,” I said worriedly. Hindi man lang siya nagpahinga muna. Galing pa naman siyang New York City tapos dumiretso pa sa café ko.
“It’s okay. I just really want to see you and maybe we can talk more. Get to---.”
“Tell me, Mickel,” I said cutting him off. “Are you hitting on me?”
Mickel’s lips parted unable to say anything and avoided my gaze. He blinked for a couple of seconds before looking at me again. “Honestly, I like you.”
I froze with his sudden confession. Goodness, I can’t believe Mickel like me. These past for days I was just assuming things and now here he is confessing that he likes me.
“I know we just met last week and we didn’t talk much with each other but I really like you, Lily.”
I still keep silent because I can’t find any words to say. “I…”
“You don’t have to answer that right now. I just want to tell you that and I want to court you,” he said and I can see through his eyes that he’s sincere. “Can I?”
I am still staring at his eyes. I just realized that he got a beautiful pair of amber eyes. It took me a few more seconds before I find the right word to say.
“Y-yes,” I said stammering but I give my sweetest smile to him.
He also smiled at me; showing how happy he is with my answer. He was about to say something but then Tina already went to us.
“Did I disturb something?” Tina asked with that playful smile in her lips again.

“We just talked, Tina.”
“Yeah, yeah,” she said before looking at Mickel. “I’m sorry a while ago, Mr. Martinez. I lied. There are just many gu---,”
“I’m sorry, Mickel. Tina and I will be going now,” I said cutting Tina off. Sasabihin pa talaga na halos lahat ng manliligaw ko dati kinukulit na naman ako ngayon. Goodness, Mickel doesn’t need to know it.
Agad ko nang hinila si Tina papasok sa sasakyan at lumiko na ako sa driver seat. Bago ako pumasok nagpaalam muna ako kay Mickel.
“See you tomorrow, Mickel. Good night.”
“Good night, Mr. Martinez!” sigaw ni Tina at talagang binaba pa talaga ‘yong bintana ng sasakyan para maka-good night lang. I also saw her wink at Mickel. Napailing na lang talaga ako sa mga pinaggagagawa ni Tina.
Mickel just nodded at Tina before looking at me. “Good night, Lily.”
“Ay snobber,” mahinang ani ni Tina sabay sarado sa bintana. Natawa na lang talaga ako sa kanya at pumasok na sa loob ng sasakyan.
I started the engine and before I passed at him I saw him waving at us.
Ilang minutong biyahe lang at nakarating na kami sa bahay.
Nauna nang lumabas si Tina sa sasakyan at akmang tatanungin na naman ako tungkol sa naabutan niya kanina pero naunahan ko na siya.
“Tina, wag ngayon. Matulog na tayo.”
“Asus, ayaw mo lang sabihin sa’kin e. Ano ba ‘yan gusto ko pa naman ng chismis e,” sabi niya at natawa na lang dahil alam niyang hindi ako magsasalita. Sinundot-sundot pa niya ako na ikina-iling ko na lang at nauna nang pumasok sa loob ng bahay.
“Ayaw mo bang kumain ulit? Magluluto ako!” sabi ni Tina noong paakyat na ako sa hagdan.
“Wag na Tina. Matulog na tayo may pasok pa tayo bukas sa café.”
“Ayieeee excited siya na makita bukas si Mr. Martinez. Hindi ka makakatulog ngayon kakaisip sa kanya,” she said teasing me.
Hindi ko na siya pinansin at pumasok na lamang ako sa kwarto.

I took a bath, change into my sleep wear and I did my night care routine before going to bed.
Akala ko hindi ako makakatulog agad gaya ng sabi ni Tina pero noong naramdaman ko na ‘yong lambot ng kama ko ay nakatulog ako agad. ‘Cause I know, I will definitely see Mickel tomorrow.
-----
Maaga akong nagising pero as usual nauna pa rin si Tina sa’kin.
Nakatalikod siya sa’kin habang nagluluto ako naman ay pumunta sa ref at kumuha ng tubig na maiinom.
“Gising ka na pala, so kamusta ‘yong tulog natin?” Tina said without looking at me but still I saw her teasing smile at me.
“I sleep well last night.”
Tumuwa lamang si Tina sa sagot ko. I thought she will tease me again but it did not happen.
“Bacon at hot dog ‘yong niluto ko, Lilies. At isa pa pala, I cooked fried rice for us,” she said happily.
Well, fried rice is our favorite breakfast. Magluto man kami ng kung ano-anong ulam para sa agahan namin hindi talaga nawawala ang fried rice.
“Should I make coffee for us?”
“Wag na, Lilies.” Sabi niya sabag lapag noong mga pagkain na niluto niya sa mesa. “Halika na Lilies. Kain na tayo. Nagugutom na talaga ako.” Hindi na talaga ako hinintay ni Tina. She just prayed silently before digging in. Natawa na lang ako sa inasta ni Tina.
Umupo na rin ako at taimtim na nagdasal bago kumain. As usual andami naming pinag-usapan ni Tina habang kumakain. Hindi talaga nawawala ang kadaldalan ni Tina kahit saan.
Matapos namin kumain ni Tina pinauna ko na siyang mag-ayos dahil ako na ang maghuhugas ng pinagkainan namin. Madali lang naman ako natapos dahil hindi naman marami ‘yong huhugasan ko.
After that I went upstairs; to my room and took a shower. Hindi naman ako masyadong nagtagal sa pagligo at nagbihis ako agad.
I just wore a plain white t-shirt partnered with my tight jeans together with my brown coat.
Hindi na ako nagtagal pa sa kwarto ko at bumaba na ako. Nakita ko si Tina sa sala na alam kong kanina pa ako hinihintay.
“Tara na, Tina.”
“Grabi ha ang tagal mong mag-ayos, Lilies. Halika na nga umalis na tayo.” Ani niya sabay hawak sa braso ko palabas ng bahay at siya na rin ang nag-lock sa bahay.
Papasok na sana ako sa driver seat ng pinigilan niya ako. “Ako ang magmamaneho ngayon, Lilies. Kaya doon ka sa passenger seat.”
Hindi na ako umangal pa sa kanya. Kasi alam kung matatagalan pa kami kapag umangal pa ako. Kaya pumunta na ako sa passenger seat habang siya naman ay nagsimula nang maneobrahin ang sasakyan.
Pagdating sa café ay nauna nang lumabas si Tina sa sasakyan. Hinanap ko pa kasi sa bag ‘yong cellphone ko baka kasi nakalimutan ko. Buti na lang talaga nakita ko kaya ayon lumabas na ako.
Nabigla pa ako noong biglang tumili si Tina pagkalabas ko. Ano bang nangyari sa kaibigan kong ito?
I frowned with her sudden squealing. “Are you okay, Tina?”
“My god, Lilies. Ang aga ng manliligaw mo.” Sabi niya sabay turo sa direksyon ni Mickel sa loob ng café.
Nakita kong nandoon siya sa dating pwesto niya kung saan siya naghintay noong absent ako. Paano ko nalaman? Sinabi ni Tina sa’kin.
Papasok na sana kami sa loob ng café nang napatigil kami dahil sa pagdating ng dalawang sasakyan sa magkabilang gilid namin.
Sa kaliwa namin ay ang sasakyan ni Alfred at sa kanan naman ay ang sasakyan ni Bentley. Sabay pa silang lumabas sa sasakyan nila.
Hindi ko tuloy maiwasan na tingnan si Mickel sa pwesto niya. And I gulped when I saw him staring at us outside.
“Oh, oh. Ang aga naman ng mga manliligaw mo, Lilies,” bulong ni Tina sa’kin na diniinan talaga ang salitang mga. Sumabay pa talaga silang tatlo ngayong araw.
Napahawak na lang ako sa’king sentido. Sumakit ata bigla ‘yong ulo ko.
