Tears Behind Laughters

Wife

"One more shot Alea, give me a firce look." Sinunod ko ang inutos sa akin so i can now go home because i'm so tired.

"That's perfect, you're really good and so gorgeous." Ngumiti lamang ako sa mga papuri na binibigay nila sa akin.

Nilapitan ko si Zain na naka-upo lamang at titig na titig sa akin.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"You." i seductively smiled at him but he gave me a very serious look.

"Don't tease me, babe." mahina kong hinampas ang balikat niya.

"I was just kidding Zain. Anything, except veggies. I don't feel like eating them today." Tumango siya at mas inilapit ako sakanya.

"You look gorgeous as always." naramdaman ko ang pag-iinit ng magkabila kong pisngi dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Hoy mga PDA kayo, respeto sa single." it's Mommy Pie na may dala-dalang milktea and a paper bag.

"Oh eto, i brought you some dress para may pagpipilian ka sa guesting mo tomorrow." she handed me the paper bag.

I smiled at her. "Your man is surely something around here Mommy Pie, just wait for it. anyway, thank you for this."

"Oh siya, nakakadisturbo ako sa inyo ni Zain. Take a good care of her, okay?"

"Of course I will, Tita." Zain and Mommy Pie are blood related. Mommy Pie is Zain's auntie.

Umalis na si Mommy Pie matapos ng maikling pag-uusap namin. Zain knows that I'm really tired so he insist na dumiretsyo na lang kami sa bahay namin at doon na lang niya ako ipagluluto.

"Just take a rest, Aya. Ipagluluto kita ng paborito mo mamaya." he gave me a forehead kiss before leaving my room.

I immediately fell asleep after that.

"Wake up sleepyhead." he's playing with my hair.

"What time is it, Zain?"

"It's already 9:02 p.m."Agad akong napabangon dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Omg, pumunta ba dito si Mommy Pie?" i asked.

"Yes, she said na may plan kayong pumunta ng salon pero hindi ka na niya pinagising sakin and i don't want to wake you up either because you're tired."

"Dapat ginising niyo 'ko" umiling-iling lang siya at patuloy na pinaglaruan ang buhok ko.

"Are you starving?" he asked.

"Yes but I'll change my clothes first"

"Alright" sabi niya kasabay ng pagtango niya.

Namili na muna ako ng damit at pumunta sa banyo upang makapagbihis.

I can't find my favourite shirt, maybe i left it on Zain's pad. I just grab Zain's white shirt and paired it with my banana pajama.

I immediately go to the bathroom, i can feel that i need to eat na.

After scrubbing my body and staying in a tub for awhile, i decided to wore my clothes and get out of the bathroom.

I'm now wearing his shirt and a pajama.

Pagkalabas ko ay nakita ko si Zain na may kausap sa telepono.

"Yes, I need to go, tita. Take care!" iyon lamang ang huli niyang sinabi bago niya ipinatay ang tawag at hinarap ako. Agad niya akong nilapitan at hinapit niya ang aking baywang.
