Chapter 30.1 - Normal Day

I woke up on Amion's arms. He's already staring at me as I opened my eyes. Nahiya ako kaya agad kong tinakpan ang mukha gamit ang isang kamay.

"Stop staring!" I hissed.

I heard him let out a soft chuckle. Mahina kong pinalo ang dibdib niya bago umupo. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nakapulupot pala sa bewang ko ang isa niyang kamay. Inalis ko 'yon ngunit binalik niya ulit. He's staring at me while doing that, inoobserbahan ang magiging reaction ko. Hinampas ko ang kamay niya, naiinis na dahil ayaw niya 'kong bitawan.

Sa huli ay ngumisi ito bago ako pinakawalan.

"You see, I can't let you go."

I stared at him. May kung ano siyang ipinapahiwatig sa sinabi niya. He can't let me go but he actually did it, isn't it ironic?

"But you just did.." I uttered.

Nakatingin lang ako sakaniya, naghahanap ng kasagutan. Slowly, his face suddenly softened as his gaze were gently comforting me.

"Because I realized that you needed it.. and you don't know how much I'm scared of the things I can do for you."
