Us Happened

Pink Lines

Mika

"Nanaaaaa!" Nagmamadali akong tumakbo sa sala para puntahan si Issa. Kung makasigaw naman tong batang to akala mo bibitayin.

"Isabella why are you shouting!?" Pinaweymangan ko siya when I saw her laying at the carpeted floor watching television. Nakaturo siya sa tv at tuwang tuwa. When I checked what it was nakita ko ang magaling niyang tatay.

"Tsss. Issa naman, pang-apat na beses mo na ginagawa sakin yan ah. Do I have to lecture you now about the man who cried wolf? Tsk." Sermon ko pero nginitian lang ako ni Issa. Mana sa tatay niya galing mangdistract. Hindi ko alam kung kabubwisitan ko ba ang commercial ni Kiefer for Milo, sa tuwing ipapalabas sa tv at makikita ni Issa titili siya. Ako naman si aligaga, matataranta.

Loko lokong Kiefer kasi yan, kaya pala ako niyayang magpakasal ulit kasi iiwanan niya kami mag-ina.

...

Dinner was good. No, actually it was one for the books. Hindi ko alam kung paano nagawa nila Kiefer na pagsama-samahin ang mga mahal namin sa buhay ngayong araw na ito. Our friends, teammates, families. Nakakatuwa lang all of us are laughing in the small function hall.

Naguwian na din yung iba, although the whole resort was blocked for everyone who attended the wedding.

Kinuha muna nila Mama si Isabella, saying this should be our quality time. Me and him.

"Babe.." He nuzzles my neck. "Hm?" The cold temperature of the city has been defeated by the warm hold of my only one. After the sweet dance of love with rhythm only the two of us can hear with our hearts used up all our energies, the best way to recover from it is drawing our bodies close together and cuddle.

"Where do you want to go? For our honeymoon?" He asked and tightened his grip on me.

"I don't really have any place in mind b, anywhere will do. Basta andun ka, andun si Issang makulit perfect na yun." I'm not really the type to ask to much. Mama taught us to he thankful for what we have and be grateful for anything that we will be receiving. Be it big or small, a good thing or a bad thing it's all blessings. You just have to appreciate it and so right now, I'm contented.

My little angel is healthy, this man beside me loves me and our families are safe. What else can a woman ask for right?

"Cheesy naman ni misis." Biro ni Kiefer. Inirapan ko siya although he won't really see it because his head snuggling in the nook of my neck. "Babe ang totoo niyan, I'll be in Lithuania next week. For a month, with the team." Napabangon bigla ang kalahati ng katawan ko.

"And why you only telling this to me now?!" I roar. Ang laki ng mata ko sa kanya. Okay lang naman sakin ang umalis siya, I understand his career pero ang nakakainis next week na siya aalis pero ni hindi niya nasabi sakin to.

"Babe...kasi.." "And it's gonna be for one whole month?!" I may sound really exaggerating right now but I'm jusy gonna miss him so much.

"I'm sorry my baby.. I love you." He said to comfort me. Niyakap niya ako and pats my head gently.

"I'm gonna miss you but trust me babe, it'll be real quick, I'll be back here with you before you know it." Kiefer assures me, I'm not really the type to cry over everything but right now, I feel like it.

"You better be. I'll kick you ass you moron!" I spurt out making us both giggle.

"I'll be a good hubby. You be my good wifey here alright?" Kiefer made me look at his face by holding my head with both his hands. "Always. Bumalik ka agad. Papayag pa naman na sana ako sa Junior mo." I smug, laki nung ngiti ni loko.
