Beatriz
Days and weeks that have passed we're like a normal mag-asawa day for me and Jho.
She often cooks for us as I am more busy with work. She cleans the house, go to market and do what an ilaw ng tahanan would do. My part, as I have said, is working for our future. Though, we both accepts clients for different accounting services, I am more busy with the formulation of our company.
"Busy mo naman, love. Kanina pa kita tinatawag para kumain." Jho said as she massaged my forehead. Maybe, she've noticed that I'm really stressed out with these papers.
"Sorry. Masyado na ata akong nilamon ng trabaho." I pulled her and made her sit on my lap.
"Bakit ba ang sipag sipag mo, ha? Naghihirap na ba tayo?"
"Oo. Ang takaw mo kasi eh. Jokey, may pinaghahandaan lang." Napatakip naman ng bibig si Jho.
"Don't tell me.." Ok, I'm confused right now. "Magkakaanak ka na?"
Natawa naman ako. "Saan nanggaling 'yun?"
"Sabi nila kapag daw subsob sa work, may pinagiipunang baby." I laughed again. Pinalo naman niya ako indicating that she's serious kaya mas natawa pa ako.
"Seriously? Paano ako magkakaanak? Buntis ka ba?"
"Oy, hindi ah. Paano naman kaya?"
"Kung gusto mo naman na, Jho. Okay lang sa'kin, I'm more than prepared." Pang-aasar ko sa'kanya.
"Tigilan mo ako Beatriz, ha. Halika na. Gutom lang 'yan." At hinila na nga niya ako papuntang kusina.
"Paanong more than prepared ka, Beatriz eh baby company pa lang natin nababaliw ka na."
"Uy, hindi makamove on si Jho sa topic. Gusto mo na talaga magkababy, ano?"
Sinamaan lang naman niya ako ng tingin.
"Pero tama ka nga naman, mga 3 years pa siguro, babe. Unahin muna natin si baby company para rin naman sa future ni baby De Leon."
"Ay. Ewan ko sa'yo, Beatriz." Iniwan niya ako sa may table at inihanda na ang kakainin namin.
That's the everyday scenario of our home. It's either me fooling around then she'll get pissed or her joking and I'll get annoyed. But in the end, just like what our friends say, magsusuyuan at maglalandian din lang kami.
It's very highschool, actually, pero I won't get tired of us being childishly inlove with each other.
"Now, I got to idolize dad more for building his own company by himself. Napakahirap!" Reklamo ko while we're eating.
Jhoana chuckled and looked at me habang nakapalumbaba. "You're cute, babe."
"I know you're so inlove with me pero I don't get the connection of me ranting here then you telling me that I am cute."
She chuckled again and pinched my nose.
"Kasi simula nang inaasikaso natin si baby company, lagi ka na lang nagrereklamo pero you'll still end up doing what needs to be done." She said and continued eating.
"Ganoon talaga kapag mahal mo, ipaglalaban mo hanggang huli. Walang kasawaan, walang hirap hirap."
"Ano ba 'yan, Beatriz, don't talk when your mouth is full."
Ngumisi naman ako and pinunasan ang labi ko.
"Pero you know, I just thought baka it would be easier for us to start our company if mama didn't used her connections." Jho said.
