Night Life in Tokyo

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

For the first few weeks, since I came back to Tokyo, it never felt like I left this place nearly two months ago. I didn't even realize na gano'n na pala ang itinakbo ng panahon since we first met and everything feels surreal for me.

Kung noon boss lamang ang turing ko sa kanya but this time, there's a real connection between us. We're not official yet, but I planned on making it official tonight. Ako na talaga ang magsasabi 'cause I know Trent has been waiting for it for so long, sagot ko na lamang ang hinihintay niya.

Hindi rin naman ako nagmamadali. I'm trying to take everything smoothly na tipong, kikilalanin muna ulit namin ang isa't isa. Like before, nakilala niya ako bilang isang nanny which has a whole different role for him. I'm more than someone who works for him and to think how crazy it went to the point na I was about to fall on depression after leaving Tokyo and then here I am now.

It's still hard to believe na may posible pa rin pala talagang mangyari kahit na noon ay parang imposible ang mga sitwasyon. Maybe that's how fate actually works. If it really meant to be, it will be.

Maaga ako nagising ngayon, just like the usual routine I had before, nagluto ako ng almusal ni Trent. We also shared the same bed na kaya tahimik akong bumaba ng kama ko. It wasn't the first time we shared a bed together, marami nang pagkakataon 'yon at masasabi kong masarap kayakap si Trent though minsan masasaktan na lang ako kapag madadaganan niya sa sobra ba namang laki ng katawan.

They said na kapag malaki ang katawan, maliit ang sausage and that's the opposite of Trent. Kaya naman early in the morning, I cooked a sausage na talaga namang memorable sa akin all through my working experience with him.

There were a lot of things na maraming masasayang nangyari sa akin noon kaya memorable para sa akin ang pagsisimula ko sa trabaho ko no'n. And the fact that I could still remember Albertyne. Naalala ko lang din siya bigla sa nabasa kong article that was something about fashion.

"And here's my future wife." Tumapon naman ang tingin ko kay Trent nang pumasok ng kusina. "Good morning, love."

It's also crazy to hear him calling me from Lav to love and I guess this transitioning wouldn't be normal for me. Para akong bumalik sa adjusting period ko na lahat na lang ng gagawin ko ay kinakapa ko pa dahil wala akong kaalam-alam but now is different.

Some things may have changed but there were still some remained what they are.

"Good morning din, love," pagbati ko. Nilapitan ko naman siya para halikan pero iniwas niya ang mukha sa akin.

Sumalubong naman ang kilay ko sa ginawa niya.

"What's going on?"

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet," he reasoned.

I pouted. "'Yon lang naman pala. Hindi naman big deal."

He laughed. "You just wanted to kiss me 'no?"

"Of course, at alam kong gusto mo rin but you're so being maarte right now. Magmumog ka na lang muna kasi I'm about to finish your breakfast."

"Our breakfast," he corrected. "You don't work for me anymore so it's our breakfast."

"Sorry naman! I was just getting carried away. Alam mo naman na nasa adjusting period pa rin ako ngayon. Kahit sabihin na nating I was here before, I came here not a nanny na so I'm so confused pa."

Napangisi na lamang si Trent after gurgling. "I've missed you—hearing all these rants every morning made me remembered all those first weeks you have in here. I'm glad we're now starting a new phase of our lives."
