Kahit Kailan

Chapter 042 Sign

Taho, around Q.C.

"What's your schedule for tomorrow Mommy?" Daniel asked as he drove Kathryn home after their taping.

"May appointment ako sa Aivee in the morning, tapos hapon meeting with Ate Wheng. Ididiscuss namin yung mga schedule para sa mga naka line up na cover ko for magazines Daddy." Kathryn answered while fixing her self in the shot gun seat of Daniel's car. Inayos niya ang pagkabit ng seatbelt.

"Magazines? Ano ano mga yan?" he asked right away. "Wala namang FHM?" direcho niya.

"Ahm, di pa nababanggit ni Ate eh. Pero alam ko meron for Metro and Mega, magkasunod yun. May tatlo pa daw pero di na niya nasabi sa akin over the phone." ngiti ni Kathryn habang kinakalikot ang cellphone niya.

"Ahh okay." he nods while driving "Basta walang FHM ha?" inulit pa niya.

Nginitian lang ni Kathryn si Daniel. Alam na niya ang ibig sabihin nun. Hindi naman bago kay Kath ang tungkol doon, Daniel has always been very vocal when it comes to those kinds of matter. May restrictions talaga siya doon. Hindi lang dahil ayaw niyang makita ng lahat ang katawan ni Kathryn pero dahil sa gusto niyang protektahan si Kathryn. He also thinks it is unnecessary for her to expose her self in that manner.

Ang bawal ay bawal. Batas ni Ford yan.

"I know. Kaya nga I turned down their offer eh. Kinukulit na nila ako a week pa lang since I returned." sabi ni Kathryn.

Ngumiti si Daniel. Ngiting panatag at tagumpay.

"Kulit din talaga ng lahi ng FHM na to eh noh, how long have they been after you Mommy? 18 ka pa lang ata nililigawan ka na. Inantay ka lang maging legal." iling niya.

Tumango si Kathryn at wala ng ibang sinabi pa.

They were silent for about a minute before Daniel suddenly took her hand.

"Thank you Mommy." he kissed the back of her hand as he continued to focus on the road.

"For what?"

"Kasi ni rereserve mo ang part na yan ng sarili mo exclusive lang para sa akin. I feel really loved." sabi nito na wari ay kilig na kilig.

"Of course you are loved." Kath gently caressed his face while he was driving. Sinundan naman ito ng muntik halik ni Daniel sa kamay ni Kathryn.

"So, have you decided for the date Mommy?" pagiiba ng topic ni Daniel pagkaraan ng ilang saglit.

"Hmm, pwede siguro after na lang ng serye Daddy." tungkol iyon sa kasal nila.

Lumingon si Daniel sa gawi ni Kathryn "Tagal naman nun." he pouts.

"Eh kasi napaka busy natin parehas eh, di natin mapagsasabay ang preparations for our wedding and yung serye." she explains.

"Sabagay. Sige right after we finish Kahit Kailan, yung wedding na natin. So that's about 7 months from now Mommy. May naisip ka na bang theme for our wedding?"

"Beach wedding!" Kathryn beams. "Napaka meaningful kasi ng beach sa atin eh. We had good times sa beach and it's relaxing di ba? Don ko din kasi naramadaman ang unang spark with you." Kathryn grins at Daniel, recalling that scene by the beach during their Growing Up days.

Inalala naman ni Daniel gaano siya nagpipigil ng kilig nung mga panahon na yun kay Kathryn. It was only months that they've known each other then, and it was the first time his heart raced frantically the moment they had eye contact. May kakaiba siyang naramdaman nung nga panahon na yon. Feelings he did not have for anyone from his past.
