Arrange To You (Tagalog)

"Hey Celestia! Come back here!" rinig ko pang sigaw niya.

I turned my back to him for one last time and bid my goodbye.

"See you sa piyesta, Clayton! Look good and let out your charms, okay?" I signalled him a thumbs up and waved my hands to him.

Nakabusangot pa rin siya nang makita ko at kinakaway rin ang kamay niya. It's really Clayton ever since, and ever ever would.

"Uungusan ko pa yung Wayde na 'yan, makikita niyo!"

He's really witty as ever. Napailing-iling nalang ako habang tinatahak ang daan kung nasaan si Wayde. When he saw me, he immediately handed the helmet and ride his motorbike.

Nang masuot ang helmet ay kaagad akong sumakay sa motorbike. He drove in silence until we went back. Kaagad akong dumeritso sa sala at inihilig ang likod ko 'run. I reached out for one pillow and put it in my lap. "Thanks for showing me the place! I'm excited to attend the event!" malaking ang ngiting ani ko sa kanya.

"You're welcome, enjoy the event next week, then." Wayde said. He seems different today.

We were interrupted when Wayde's phone rang. Kinuha nito iyon sa bulsa at walang emosyong tinignan ang hawak na gadget. His lips formed into thin line, and his eyes were damn serious.

"Excuse me," paalam niya sa akin at umalis.

He walked outside and continued the call. Nakalagay ang isang kamay nito sa bulsa habang ang isa naman ay hawak-hawak ang gadget. Their conversation must be important.

Inayos ko ang pagkaka-pwesto ko sa sofa at unti-unting pinikit ang mga mata ko. I want to take a little nap for today. Wala naman na akong gagawin mamaya at gusto kong bawiin yung oras ng kulang sa pagtulog ng mga nakaraang araw. I've been having bad habits of sleeping late, lately and it's not good. I took out my phone and played some relaxing music to doze myself in a deep of slumber. After minutes of listening to it, I squeeze my eyes shut and let the peacefulness conquers my dream.

Mas hinila ko pa ang kumot pataas para mabalutan lahat ng katawan ko. This thick comforter really feels good when sleeping. I shifted my position to the other side and hugged the pillow beside me. Ahh, what a cold night to sleep under the breezy environment.

"Hmmm..." I groaned when I felt a touch in my hair. Mas lalo lang pinapasarap niyon ang tulog ko. It feel so good.

If this is a dream then I would want to stay longer. Nagpatuloy ang paghahaplos sa buhok ko. It's so tender and caressing with care. Hindi ko tantiya kung ilang oras na akong nakatulog.

I just saw myself comfortably sleeping in the sofa with a comforter all over my body. May bolster na rin akong hawak-hawak at maraming unan sa gilid ko. It's one of the best sleep that I had after so long. Nag-inat ako at nabitin ang kamay sa ere nang makita si Wayde. How long have I been sleeping here?!

Makulimlim na ang kalangitan at siguradong magsisilabasan na ang mga uwak. I massaged my left shoulder and the another. Wayde didn't seemed to notice me. As usual, his eyes are busy reading with some paperworks, while playing the ballpen between his index and ring finger.

Napagpasyahan kong dumeritso nalang sa kusina at baka maabala ko siya. Tumayo ako at pinagpagan ang sarili, I also folded the blanket and put the pillow where they belong.

I was about to head in the kitchen when he spoke. "I made a soup, just re-heat it. Wait for it to boil before you off the stove, or the soup might dry out. "T-Thank you, Wayde," nahihiya kong tugon sa kanya.

Minsan rin ay naaasiwa ako dahil sa mga normal na mga bagay na ginagawa niya pero hindi ko nakasanayan. There were big adjustments that I made, and it amazed me despite that people might see it as little things. But for me, it's a stepping stone to learn.

I on the stove and started to re-heat the soup. Umupo ako sa bar stool habang hinihintay na maluto ang sabaw. I was actually facing the sala kaya kitang-kita ko si Wayde na abala sa ginagawa.

His forehead sometimes turned to frowned when he reads. His elbow is place above the coffee table and his knuckles is press down in the side of his head. Ngayon ko lang din napagmasdan ng matagal ang mukha niya.

"Now I know kung bakit ka talk of the town," bulong ko sa sarili. Mainting to lower my voice to not disturb him.

Siya talaga ang tinaguriang crush ng bayan. I could have make him my crush too if we're not living in the same roof! I mean, I do have crushes, but only when I'm far away from them. I don't do crush if I know that someone or he's my friend. Sayang! pero baka pwede na kapag naka-alis na ako rito.

Pero wala naman sigurong masa, Celestia, kung palihim mo siyang gusto di'ba?

Tumahimik ka nga! Sigaw ng isang panig ng utak ko.

"I know I'm handsome so quit staring. Staring is rude, Celestia," tinapos nito ang sinulat sa papel bago ibinaba iyon.

He turned to my direction, and like he always did the side of his lips rose. Napalunok at napa-iwas ng tingin. Tinitigan ko nalang ang pinapainit ko na para 'bang makaka-solve iyon ng problema ko.

Gusto ko nalang malunod sa kumukulong tubig!

Oo na, crush ko na talaga siya!
