Pagkatapos nilang mamili sa mall ay pumunta na sila sa condo nila Celindra. Pagkabukas na pagkabukas ng pinto ng condo nila ay ang tumambad sa kanila ay si Linda na nakikipaghalikan. Wala ng t-shirt ang lalake at ang damit naman ni Linda ay magulo na.
Sam froze a bit but immediately act. He wanted to put his hand to Celindra's eyes, but when he was about to put it Celindra already got in the condo as if she didn't see anything. Celindra saw Sam is still outside the condo looking at her. Hinatak na ni Celindra si Sam papasok at sinarado ang pinto.
"Don't mind them." Linda said. At tinuloy ang pakikipaghalikan sa lalake. Dumiretsyo naman ng pasok sa kwarto sila Celindra.
"Just put those things in the corner. Wait for me a bit." Pumasok na ng banyo si Celindra para magpalit ng damit. May pupuntahan pa kasi sila sabi ni Sam.
Sam frowned at what happened. Nahalata niyang sanay na si Celindra sa kung anong nakita niya sa labas. Hindi niya ito nagustuhan. He began thinking of ways to get Celindra live with him. Maya-maya lang ay lumabas na si Celindra. She's wearing a plain white off shoulder dress. Her long legs can be seen.
Hindi niya pinansin si Sam at pumili ng sapatos. Pinili niya yung plain white doll shoes na kakabili lang sa kaniya ni Linda. She began to do her make-up. Nang matapos siya ay tumingin na siya kay Sam.
"Let's go?" Tumango naman si Sam. Lumabas na sila at nadatnan nilang nasa sofa na ang dalawa.
"Ah! Ah! Yes!" Linda's voice echoed in the condo. Mabilis na inalis ni Sam ang tingin niya sa dalawang hubo't hubad na nakikipagtalik. Hinatak naman agad siya ni Celindra palabas.
"Sorry about that." Yun agad ang bungad ni Celindra pagkalabas na pagkalabas niya.
"You're used to it." Sam stated. Napangiti si Celindra at tumango. Sumakto namang bumukas ang elevator at may lumabas. Pumasok agad sila.
"Why not live with me? My family already move out, the house will be empty. It's too big for one person to live." Hindi na nagpaikot-ikot si Sam at sinabi niya na ito kay Celindra.
"There's no need. Although, there is such things happening in the condo, Linda took care of me." Sam shook his head.
"Just live with me. Nothing will happen. I don't feel safe if I knew something might happen to you in that condo."
"It's really fine. I already lived there for three year. Nothing happened." Sam frowned but didn't say anything anymore when he saw that he couldn't make her live with him.
It's just that... It made him nervous. What if something happened? What if the man will force her? Hurt her? What if..
Nagulat si Sam ng may biglang humawak sa kamay niya. Tumingin siya dito at tinignan si Celindra.
"It's fine. Let's go okay?" Celindra smiles at him. He calm down a bit but his mind is still thinking of ways how he can make her move out in that condo. He smiled at her. They both went out the condominium.
"Where are we going by the way?" Celindra asked when they are already half way to their destination.
"My house." Celindra looks at him, shock, when he heard him say that. Sam chuckled.
"I just want to let you see my library. I know you will love it." Celindra smile and nodded before looking at the window. They got in the village and Sam stopped at the four storey house. The gate opened and the car went in.
"Mom and Dad lived here for a while when their house is under renovation. Now it's just me living here." Sam said and gone out the car. He opened the door to let Celindra out.
"Good afternoon sir, mam." the man said. Sam gave him the key.
"Tell Manang Dona to bring foods and drink at the library." Sam ordered. The man bowed a little.
"Yes sir." Sam guided her inside the house. Celindra saw pictures after pictures. She felt they are quite familiar but couldn't point it out. Bago niya pa matignan ng husto ay pinaakyat na siya ni Sam.
Huminto si Sam sa pinakadulong pinto. Tumingin siya kay Celindra at ngumiti. "Welcome to my Library." Pagkasabing-pagkasabi nito ay binuksan ni Sam ang pinto.
Pumasok si Celindra na namamangha sa laki at daming libro na tumambad sa kaniya. A coat landed to her shoulders. She looks at Sam who is smiling.
"It's a bit cold here." Celindra smiled at him and look around.
"This part is a bit small, indeed. But above here, there is more space since the whole third floor is occupied with the library. Our family have a soft heart when it comes to books. We get whatever we can get and put it here. Come, I will lead you to the next floor where you can see Draco's books." Celindra's eyes shined and nodded. Sam knew she will like it more.
Marami silang dinaanan at nakita rin ni Celidra kung gaano kaorganize ang library nila.
"There are books that aren't in here. This library is where the newest books that we have is stored. The other books are in the Ancestral house. It is where mom and dad living." Sam said as he guided Celindra around. Finally, Sam saw the sign; 'The favourites'.
"Here we are." Celindra's attention caught the sign.
"Favourites?" she asked. Sam chuckled and nodded.
"Yes. Draco's book is one of our favourites. Our family consisted of seven in total. If I like a book, we will vote if the book will be put in here or not. If the book have a total of four votes we will put it in here, if three then it will be in with the other books." Celindra nodded. She saw books after books inside of the glass. Some are old ones.
"Well, the favourites will be putted in here, so even those old ones are also here." Sam chuckled and continue; "If mom have a favourite book, all of us can only say yes." Celindra saw how happy Sam is and smiles at him.
"Oh, here is it. Draco's section." Celindra looks at where Sam is pointing. She froze.
"Draco's books are special. He always got our points. Seven points. Shawn never and we will not let him read it since he is only seven years old. But whenever I say yes, he will never say no. That's why Draco's books have it's own shelf." Celindra's heart couldn't help but to beat faster. It's her babies.
"Thank you..." Celindra muttered.
