KISSING MY KRYPTONITE

(A/N • UNEDITED: Here's to another year full of love, happiness, peace and prosperity. Thank you for being part of my 2022, and for staying until this new year! Maligayang bagong taon sa ating lahat, sana makatulog kayo nang mahimbing ngayon at sa mga susunod pang gabi ♡)

"See you on Saturday night, love."

If what has been told is true, why do I feel safe just having to hear her voice? If believing everything is the right thing to do, why does it feel so wrong? After my confrontation with the minions, particularly Xiomara, I felt as if I had nothing left in me until I got to talk to my beloved that made me feel fully functional again, like everything seemed all too well.

"Oh my gosh!" bulalas niya nang buksan niya ang bintana ng kwarto niya, natawa ako dahil sa dala niyang flower vase, akala nga siguro talaga niya ay nilooban na sila ng magnanakaw.

"Pineapple," alok ko na parang wala lang sa binili kong cans ng pineapple juice sa labas.

"What are you doing here?! Ez, we have a door right there!" gulat pa rin niyang turan, basang-basa ako sa ulan at alam kong dis-oras na ng gabi pero kasi hindi ako makatulog dahil sa komprontasyon namin ni Xiomara, naisip ko siyang puntahan ngayon.

"Hindi mo ba ako papapasukin?" ngumuso ako, nanginginig na ako rito't inuuna pa rin niya ang panenermon. I risked my life around black just to get in here, I lured him with safe dog treats na pampatulog imbes na gamitan ko ng stun gun.

"What are you doing to yourself?" nagpamewang siya sa harapan ko matapos niya akong dukutin mula sa labas ng kanyang bintana. "The lame of you para magpaulan ulit after mong maulanan kanina?!"

Agad siyang kumuha ng towel at maiging ibinalot iyon sa 'kin pagkatapos ko siyang yakapin saka niya ako inalalayan patungo sa harap ng sariling bathroom.

"I just wanted to see you," sinsero kong saad, hinawakan ko ang isang kamay niya. She feels warm and soothing, as does the way she stares at me.

I want to see her and find hope in her eyes that I can hold onto. I will not give up just like that, for I know that her love is real and unquestionable.

"But I thought we're gonna see each other on Saturday pa?"

"Gusto kitang makita," pag-uulit ko, hinarap ko siya at muling niyakap nang mahigpit, "I missed you so much.."

"You seem different today. Is anything going on?" her sensual eyes scouring mine for something.

"I'm fine," I swallow down my emotions so it won't surface, what happened in the confrontation just doesn't want to leave me alone, and the notion that she is involved makes it much more difficult for me to ignore it.

She tilts her head mildly, then her hand reaches up my face, "Are you sure nothing is up? Your eyes are puffy and red."

"Hindi lang ako makatulog kaya parang puyat agad," ngiti ko, kanina ko pa taimtim na pinag-iisipan kung tama bang sabihin ko sa kanya ang lahat ng sinabi ni Xiomara o itago na lang ito dahil wala rin namang katotohanan, ayokong makapagdulot lang 'yon ng dilema sa kanya dahil kahit ako hindi ko na kinakaya.

Sinalat niya ang noo at leeg ko, nagpipigil luha akong napatitig sa kanya habang dinadama ko ang bawat paghaplos niya. Napakaganda niya, kita at damang-dama ko ang pag-aalala sa mga mata niya, nananaginip na lang ba ako?

"Ez.."

"I'm going to take a bath," umiwas ako't tumakbo diretso sa bathroom niya bago ko pa kwestyonin lahat ng ipinapakita niya sa 'kin at ang nararamdaman ko.
