I Fell In love With A Romualdez (Unedited)

Chapter 12: Are we in Baguio?

Continuation…

We both got out of the tub and pock up our clothes. Gumana naman ka pilyohan ng aking mabuting Asawa na isa respetadong congressman sa Ilocos Norte, hinawakan niya ang aking kamay ng mahigpit at dali dali kaming tumakbo sa loob ng bahay ng nakahubad. Malapit naman siyang ma slide sa kanyang kagagawan buti nalang at dali niyang nabawi ang balanse niya. Tumawatawa nalang kaming dalawa hanggang sa makapasok kami sa loob ng bahay.

“Jusko Ferdinand, apaka tarantado mo talaga kahit kailan, ang ginaw ginaw!”

“Hahaha, achievement unlock asawa ko, tumakbo ng nakahubad sa Baguio!” he said while grinning form ear to ear.

He’s still holding my hand while we went up to the stairs. Kami lang naman tao sa bahay kaya wapakels. Naligo na kami ng sabay sa loob ng banyo kasi may nagtitipid na naman sa tubig at natulog muna kamo pagkatapos magbihis.

I was dazzled by the rays of the setting sun on our window, as I slowly adjust my eyes from the light, I saw the man beside me sleeping like a child in her mother’s arms and care. His hands and legs weight on my stomach and a part of my legs. Bigat naman, mahal. I’ve never really watched him sleep like this. Most of the times his more than awake than sleeping or just half asleep, mostly worried from work.

But as of the moment he seems to be enjoying his peace beside me. Ang pogi naman masyado nito pag medyo messed up yung hair. Hinawi ko yung buhok niya that’s covering his face and adore his peaceful view for a while.

Nagising naman siya di kalaunan at naalimpungatan pa. Bigla naman niya kong hinila papalapit sa kanya and my face was buried to his neck, I can smell his fragrance, amoy Ferdinand!

(usto mo iba amoy mami meldy?)

“Nakatulog pala ko asawa ko?” in a husky voice.

“I think you did, want me to cook you dinner? I’m hungry already.” Sagot ko naman. Kumalasnnaman siya at tumayo nako at nagsuot ng robe at naghilamos na para makababa.

As usual para sa aking mabuting asawa, I cooked dinengdeng for him at dahil oagod ako, dun nako sa piniritong tilapia na may sawsawsawan na toyo, suka, kamatis, at sibuyas na may calamansi. Gumawa naman ako ng strawberry smoothy para sa aming drinks. Pag makarating kami sa ilocos by the next day, papaturo nalang ako magluto ng ibang potahe na galling sa Ilocos. Nagulat nman ako ng may biglang may humalik sa may leeg ko at yumapos sa aking likoran.

“I miss you asawa ko.” malambing nyang sabi. Kumalas naman siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin at tumulong maghanda sa lames ana pagkakainan naming. We sat in a smaller table since kami lang naman kakain at napagkwentuhan yung kahapon.

“Mahal, ano ba kinain mo at ako pinakasalan mo? Marami akong naririnig na marami ka raw babae noon before sa akin?” tanong ko.

Tumingin naman siya sakin, showing his boyish grin at dimple.

“Sasagutin mo Ferdinand oh tututsukin kita?” nagbabanta kong tanong. tumawa lang naman siya sa sinabi ko.

“wag mo ko ko daanin sa poging mong tawa, nako sinasabi ko sa iyo.”

(Tru mami melds, pogi ngaaa, ayieee)

“Mahal, sinabi ko nanga saiyo diba, na since I was a kid, I have a vision of a woman who I will love for the rest of my life, many had come pero hindi nagtugma sa aking gusto.” sabi naman niya sa akin.

He held my hand and said, "kahit ilan pang babae ang dumaan sa aking buhay, ikaw lang at ikaw lang ang mamahalin ko magpakailanman.” He said reassuringly.
