My eyes widened. "A-A wh-what?!" gosh, tumindig balahibo ko don.

"I won't repeat myself." he said. He intently looked at me before speaking again. "Do you have herpetophobia?"

Yes, I do. I have a phobia of reptiles. Baka mamatay na ako kapag nakasama ko pa sa iisang bahay mga 'yan.

"Yes."

"Do you want me to move them?" he offered.

Kahit nanginginig ay isinara ko yung last bag na pinaglagyan ko ng gamit ko. "Nandoon na sila?"

"Yes, I moved them earlier before going here." he answered.

Kahit gusto kong ipaalis doon, inisip ko rin na dalawa kaming titira doon and I need to respect what he wants to be there with him.

I smiled at him. "It's okay, hindi ko nalang pupuntahan kung nasaan man sila."

"You don't need to push yourself---"

I cut him off. "Nakacage naman sila diba?"

"Yes, they do. Except my bunnies, they free roam, they do not belong in a cage." he said as a matter of fact.

Tumango ako. I love rabbits naman, they're cute.

"Okay, good." nakahinga na ako ng maluwag. "Bakit ka nga pala nandito?"

Kanina pa siya nandito at nakarating na kami sa mga pets niya pero hindi ko pa alam kung bakit siya nandito.

"You're taking so long to pack. Kaya nandito ako para mahiya ka naman na pinaghihintay mo ako." bumalik nanaman yung kayabangan niya. Kumuha ako ng unan at ibinato sakaniya, of course nasalo niya yun.

Oha, binabato ko lang ng unan yung isa sa pinakamayaman sa buong mundo. Ako lang 'to.

I smiled sarcastically at him. "Sorry ha, hindi ko naman sinabing hintayin mo 'ko. I can drive, you know."

"Do you know the address of our new house?"

Napaharap ako sakaniya. "Our?"

He cleared his throat before finding an answer for my question. "We will be staying at that house, so dapat lang naman na sabihin ko na 'our', diba?"

I bit my lower lip and his gaze followed it, agad ko namang itinigil 'yon at umiwas ng tingin sakaniya."I mean, s-still....awkward..."

He scoffed. "What do you mean awkward? Come on, we're not a couple and you don't like me, right?"

"Buti naman aware ka."

He just rolled his eyes and stood up. "Bilisan mo nalang dyan, ayoko ng naghihintay."

I just mocked his words habang palabas siya. Chineck ko mga gamit na nadala ko and wala naman na akong nakalimutan, nag iwan pa rin ako ng mga gamit ko dito because for sure babalik naman ako dito.

I called the maids to help me with my luggage, kinuha ko na yung handbag ko at sumunod sa kanila pababa. Nakita ko naman sila sa living room na nag k-kwentuhan, na-sense yata ng dragon na pababa na ako kaya tumingin agad siya saakin na pababa ng hagdan.
