I Married A Criminal

'Oh yeah!!!! But ma'ma!!! I'm inlove with this criminal!!!!'

Na pairap na lang ako sa kabaliwan netong kaibigan ko, bigla bigla na lang kakanta ng hindi ko nga alam kung nag eexist ba yan o gawa-gawa niya lang.

"Seryoso ka na talaga jan Lyn? Hindi mo ba kilala si Noel? Sikat na gangster yun noon noh, mamaya mapatay ka nun eh." na tawa ako sa sinabi niya, ang oa naman neto manliligaw palang nga eh, hindi ko pa naman pakakasalan. Hindi PA.

Yeah I have plans, I really like that dude, hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ko yung pag sali sali niya sa gang na yan, pero inexplain niya lang naman.

"Look If you really don't want me in that gang, I will leave, thats a promise, just give me a little bit of time."
"Bakit ka ba kasi sumali sali jan? Ayan tuloy lagi kang may kaaway at na papahamak!"
"Long story."
"Then make it short."
"When I was just highschool, I really love fighting, one day I was fighting with those random dudes, I actually forgot what's the real reason, cause men It's been 4 years, oh well back to the story. They saw me fighting, and told me I'm great, well I know that, but the thing is, I have alot of debt to them so, I have no choice but to listen to them, or else, I'll get arrested."
"Ikaw? Mag kakautang? Eh may mayaman ka pa nga ata kay bill gates eh."
"It's not money Lyn, you know nothing."

"Oh tulaley ka jan? Na realise mo na ayaw mo sa kanya?"
"Na realize ko na mahal ko siya, gotta go."

I tap her shoulder first and stood up I think I have to talk to him, maybe It's time, hehe, he's been courting me for more than a year and, I think he showed enough love.

"You're crazy!" I heard her say, I just laugh a bit, yeah, I really am inlove with a criminal.

"Noel. Can we talk?" I'm here at their so called hide out, well yeah, I'm here just for you to know, he's like the second leader of their gang so he has the power.

"Witwiw anjan nanaman si ms. Ganda."
"Sexy. Come to dade."
"Pag ganayan ang shota ko lalagyan ko bakod yan."

"All of you! Shut the fuck up!" he come near me and smiled.

"Hi, what brings you here, wanna go at our office?" I nooded, I've been there for so many times, there actually good, fun to be with, It's just that, they really love fighting.

"I actually have to tell you something." I smiled, he let me sit at the sofa first before he does.
"Mm?"

"About, y-you, courting me."
"I won't stop Lyn, If thats what you want I'm telling you, I won't stop."

Eh? He got it wrong, but HAHA this is fun so I played with him HAHA.

"Sorry, Noel." I stood up pero kunwari lang noh, I know he won't let me leave.

He held my hand and let me sit again, hold my cheeks and kiss me torridly. I push him a bit, hindi ko pa nga na sasagot naka kiss nanaman, yeah NANAMAN!

"I want you to stop courting me."
"What?! No, I alre-"
"Sinasagot na kita."

His eyes became big and look at me shock, I laugh a bit and smiled.

"It's more than a year, and that time, you prove me that you deserve to be love."

He hug me, so tight, yun na ata yung pinaka mahigpit na yakap niya sakin, and so as I, I hug him too.

5 years, yeah 5 years kaming almost perfect relationship, when our anniversary came, he dicided to marry me, I mean to propose.

"Babe, we've been together for so many years, and I can't, I won't let you go away from me, babe, please, please marry me." I was shock, he bend his knee, and the other on is like, ugh I can't explain, he's like in proposing position.

"Y-Yes!"
"Yes?! Yes!!!" he hug me so tight, binuhat niya pa ko at inikot ikot. That was the best day, of my life, our life.

"Congrats, ma'am, sir, buntis po si misis." na pangiti ako, finally, after 3 months of being together, I finally got pregnant, and I'm happy, yeah ako lang yung happy, Noel don't like kids that much, but what can we do, nandito na eh, pero para sakin the best to.

"Sabi ko naman kasi sayo mag paabortion ka na! Tignan mo malas pa ata yang batang nasa tyan mo!"
"Watch your mouth Noel! This is not just my child, just to remind you anak mo din ito!"

He got mad, kasi my tummys getting big na so I have to leave the company for a while, na gagalit siya kasi siya nanaman yung mag papakabusy para sa business namin, mawawalan nanaman siya ng time for his self daw psh.

"I gotta go."
"Where are you going? Diba may meeting ka with Mr. Smith?"
"Gang matters."

Then he left, gang matters? When did he start to joing that kind of organization? Gosh ang tanda tanda niya na sumasali pa siya jan? What if hindi na lang bugbugan o sapakan ang mga ginagawa nila jan?

I waited for hours for him to come back, na katulog na ako ng marinig kong may tumunog, I search in our room and I saw my phone ringing.

"Yes?"
"Ma'am, Mr. Johnson did'nt showed up earlier, binawi na po ni Mr. Smith yung shares niya sa company, we wasted his time daw po kase."

Na pabuntong hininga na lang ako, Mr. Smith's share in our company is 40% malaking kawalan yun para samin, I think I have to go and get back to work again, but before that, I still have to talk to Noel.

"Mm, I'm taking over tomorrow don't worry, I will fix this." I hang up the call, saktong dumating naman si Noel na may pasa pa sa mukha.

"So you joined your gang again? Or. Different gang na?" while leaning at the wall, and holding my baby, yeah my tummy.

"I never left."
"What?!"
"I lied to you when I told you I already leave the gang."

Nag lakad siya pa alis so I followed him this is so unbelievable, he lied just because of his fucking gang.

"Hey I'm not yet done talking to you!"

Humarap siya at pilit akong isinandal sa pader, I must admit that hurts.

"I can never leave that gang, pwede ba?! Shut the fuck up kung ayaw mong sapakin ko kayo nyang anak mo."

And I slap him, how dare he? Say that to me.

Na gulat ako ng bigla niya akong sapakin, ok lang sana kung sa mukha pero sa tyan pa mismo. Hindi lang isa o dalawa, maraming beses hangang sa mapahiga na lang ako sa sobrang hina.

I panicked when I felt blood on my private part, shit no please.

'Hang in there baby, please hang in there, don't leave mommy.'
