A Night with a Stranger

Chapter 12

"Baby, wake up. Breakfast is ready." sabi ni Light habang finishing ang dalaga.

"Hmmmmmm." Jam responded but just covered her face again.

"Babyyyyyyy, wake up." Light said again and kiniliti ang dalaga.

"I'm still sleepy pa kasi." inis na sabi ni Jam.

"It is already 11:00 in the morning baby. You need to get up because we will go the Church, right?" sabi naman ng binata.

Walang choice ang dalaga kundi ang bumangon na. Bagot na bagot siyang lumakad paglabas ng kwarto at nakita iyon ni Light. Binuhat niya ang dalaga papuntang Dining Area.

Light prepared the scrambled egg, spam na nasunog, hotdog na kulang na lang masunog na. Tiningnan ni Jam si Light.

"Baby, I know it was not good as yours but I tried my best." pa cute na sabi ni Light kay Jam. Jam smiled to assure him that it was alright.

"It is okay ,babe. I do not mind." she said. Sinubo niya ang karampot na scrambled egg and kulang na lang talaga ng asin maging dagat na ito but still kinain niya pa rin. Light made an effort to prepare food for her. Ayaw niyang ma disappoint ang binata.

"What? Why are you staring at me like that?" tanong niya sa binata ng tinitigan siya nito habang sinusubo ang pagkain.

"Nothing. I am just enjoying the beautiful view in front of me." he said sweetly.

"Sos.Napaka- bolero mo talaga."she said while blushing.

" I am telling the truth, baby. You are the most beautiful creation of God in my eyes. You are the greatest blessing I received from Him, " he said with complete sincerity.

"Babe naman eeh. You made me blush."

"That is the purpose baby. hahahaha."

" Tse.. kumain ka na nga lang diyan. Pupunta pa tayo sa simbahan." saway niya sa binata

" Copy, My Lady." he said.

They spent their weekend together. They savored those moments. Pagkatapos nilang pumunta sa simbahan ay pumunta sila sa isang beach resort.

"Whoaaaaaaaah!!! Ang ganda." namangha sambit ni Jam sa kasintahan.

"Do you like it?" he asked

" I don't just like it. I love it, babe. Thank you." he said and hugged him.

"I know it, babe. You are always welcome. Whatever makes you happy, I'll give it to you." he said.

"Babe naman eeh. Yan ka na naman. You made me emotional na naman." mangiyak-iyak niyang sabi.

"Sorry, baby. I just love you so much. Mwaaaah." he said and kissed her on the forehead. They intertwined their hands as they walked into the seashore. The breeze of the sea enveloped them.

" Baby, wait for a minute. Let's take a photo together. This is worth cherishing." Light said to Jamaica. As he counts 1,2,3.... he clicked his camera and kissed Jamaica. He takes her pictures as well. When Jamaica picked the seas shells, he took a picture of her. Lahat ng mga ginagawa nila sa beach resort na iyon ay well documented. They enjoyed the moment.

Exam week nila. They were both busy preparing for their exam. Hindi muna sila masyadong nagkasama since magka-iba naman ang course nilang dalawa. However, Light never forgets to check her if she is still fine or not.

"Hey , baby. How are you? How was your exam?" tanong ni Light sa dalaga ng nasa sasakyan na sila.

"It was like a hell, babe. Nahihirapan talaga ako sa Calculus namin eeeh. I do not know if I can make it. I am afraid na mabagsak ako at mawala yong scholarship ko." frustrated na sabi ni Jamaica kay Light.

"Come on. It is okay babe. Calm down okay? It will never happenn. You are smart and I know you can make it." he said with conviction to lighten up her mood.

"Haist."

" Alright, how about giving to a warm hug? Or where do you want to eat?" he asked.

" I just want to sleep babe." she replied

"Alright but you need to eat first. Come here. Let me hug you. Do not be sad na baby." he said and hugged her tightly. After that, pinaandar na ni Light ang kanyang sasakyan para ihatid ang dalaga sa tinutuloyan nitong apartment. Mas malapit lang kasi iyon sa university nila kaysa Condo niya. Hindi niya na lang muna ginising ang dalaga sa mahimbing na tulog nito. He opened door in her apartment and slowly carried her para hindi ito magising sa mahimbing na tulog. He laid her on her bed and looked at her with admiration.

"I love you so much, my lady." he said and kissed her. Pagod din siya at inaantok na rin kaya mas pinili niyang doon na lang muna magpapalipas ng gabi.

"Hoy, bakla. May hindi ka sinabi sa akin ano?" sabi ni Josh kay Jamaica nong magkasama silang kumain sa canteen.

"Ang alin?" nagtatakang tanong ni Jamaica.

"Na kayo daw ni Fafable Light Assher Del Mundo." mahinang sabi ni Josh.

"Saan mo naman nalaman yan?" patay malisya niyang sabi.

"Naku, kalat na kalat na sa buong campus na nilalandi mo daw si fafa Light."

"Hayaan mo sila. Magsasawa din ang mga iyan." sagot niya sa kanyang kaibigan.

"Sabagay Inggit lang ang mga bruha sa beauty mo. edi nganga sila, lalo na yong feeling magandang Alice. hahaha."

"Baliw ka talaga. Kumain ka na nga lang diyan." she said.

Nag kwentuhan pa sila ni Josh ng bigang lumapit si Alice at ang mga kaibigan into.

"Look who is here. A commoner who hides the facade of an innocent woman but she is really slut and a bitch." sabi ni Alice as kanya. Hindi niya lamang pinansin ang dalaga.

"Oh. come on. Why don't you say anything?" patuloy pa ng dalaga

"Hoy, ingrata. Tigilan mo young kaibigan ko.." ani Josh.

"Shut up, ugly gay. I am not talking to you."

"Ayy ikaw baba_____

"Josh, no. Let's go." pigil ni Jamaica sa kaibigan na sugorin si Alice.

"Eeh sumusobra na sila eeh."

"Hayaan mo na."aniya

"Oooh, ang bait naman." nang-uuyam na sabi ni Alice sa kanya.

"Alice, ayaw ko ng gulo." sabi niya kay Alice.

"Ayaw mo ng gulo pero ikaw mismo ang pumasok sa gulo. I told you. Stay away from him." galit na sabi ni Alice.

"He is not yours, Alice. Bakit pinagpipilitan mo ang iyong sarili sa taong ayaw sayo."sabi niya sa dalaga.

"Wow, lumalaban ka na. Don't you know who I am? I am the queen bee in this university."

"Wala akong paki-alam kung sino ka man pero sumusobra ka na." sabi niya kay Alice.

" Ah, ganon. Waala ka pa lang paki-alam ha." sabi ni Alice sabay sabunot sa buhok niya. Habang si Josh naman ay nakikipagsabunotan sa mga kaibigan ni Alice. Other students are just looking at them because they are afraid to associate to their fights. Sakto ding dumating si Light kasama ang mga ka team mates niya sa basketball. He hurriedly ran them and inawat si Alice.

"My gosh, Light you are here. Inaway ako ng babaeng yan."madrama sumbong ni Alice sa binata.

"Cut the crap, Alice. I know her more than you are. I already warned you not to hurt my woman."galit na sabi ni Light kay Alice.

"Baby, are you okay?" tanong ni Light kay Jamaica. Tumango lang si Jamaica as her response to him. Light looked at all the students inside the canteen and looked angrily at Alice.

"Dare to lay a finger on my woman, or you will mess up. Do not ever hurt her or you will face the consequence." galit na sabi ni Light. Bago pa man makapagsalita si Alice ay umalis na si Light kasama si Jamaica.
