Bella Donna Madrigal
IT WAS IN the middle of the night when I suddenly woke up. I felt like I was deprived of water for a week, tuyo ang lalamunan ko at pagod ang buong katawan ko. Napaahon ako sa pagkakahiga sa pag-aakalang nasa kuwarto ko ako at kama ko ang hinihigaan ko. Pero kakaupo ko pa lang ay naramdaman ko na agad ang pagpulupot ng kamay sa aking tiyan at ang pagbangon ni Rive sa tabi ko.
Kunot ang nuo at agad iritabli ang mukha ang nakita ko. His face was like one awakened from his sound sleep. I was cold when I tried to sit down on the bed but when he buried his face on my neck and hugged me tightly, biglang nakaramdam ako ng init galing sa katawan niya.
“Where are you going?” he asked hoarsely and his tone was filled with distress. Natigilan ako kaya napaangat siya ng tingin
