Maine's POV
This is the kind of morning that I wanted to wake up to every day, I check on the time and smile because malapit na palang mag good afternoon. As I looked at RJ's side only then I realized that I am alone in the room. Kahit kelan talaga, hindi ko naunahang gumising ang asawa ko.
I went out of the room after I changed and I found RJ in the lanai tinkering on his phone. “Good morning” I greeted
“Good morning Love” he greeted back beaming sweetly.
“Ang aga mo namang nagising” I said
“Maaga ko kasing pinapunta yung caretaker para makapamili ng food natin” he replied “Mabuti na lang at maaga akong nagising bago pa sila dumating” he said
“Bakit naman, wala naman tayong ginulo dito sa bahay para ayusin nila, hindi naman tayo nagkalat” I said
“Yes I agree, walang kalat, except for that one piece of cloth floating in the swimming pool” he said and I felt myself blushing as I recall what happened in the swimming pool last night
“OMG, nakakahiya” I said
“It’s alright, hindi naman nila nakita. Natanggal ko na before they arrived. How was your sleep?” he asked
“Sarap ng tulog ko, hindi ko namalayan na halos tanghalian na pala hindi mo man lang ako ginising” I replied.
“Ang sarap ng tulog mo eh. Also, alam ko namang napagod ka kaya hinayaan na muna kitang magpahinga” he replied in his signature naughty smile. He gently pulls me to sit on his lap
“Bakit ikaw, hindi ka ba napagod?” I asked as I puts on my head on his shoulder
“Ako pa ba? Pinaghandaan ko yata ‘to” he brags
“Mukhang praktisado ka ah, sino pinag-praktisan mo?” I asked
“Wala ah, since we’ve met, behave na ako, I don’t play around anymore. My mind was pre-occupied of my thoughts of you kaya wala na sa isip ko yang mga ganyang bagay” he said
“In love na ako sa yo, hindi mo na ako kailangang bolahin” I said
“I am telling the truth, my heart like you already the first time I saw you” he said “In Calatagan as well as when we met again with our Dads to talk about the arrangement” he said
“I don’t believe you, do you remember how we bicker that time? Yung sa Calatagan, what I remember is someone who is taking advantage of a drunk woman” I asked
“Ang hard mo naman sa akin. Back then in Calatagan, I’ve been watching you from my cottage, I find you very beautiful but very sad too. Both of us are not in our right frame of mind then kasi naman, marami na rin naman akong nainom when I approached you.” He replied “Yung meeting naman regarding the arrangement, pagpasok mo pa lang sa restaurant stunning ka na kaso parang nagpapak ka ng ampalaya for breakfast at sobrang bitter ka, hindi tuloy ako nakapagpa-cute sa yo. I find you so fierce that time, kahit sa Daddy ko wala kang takot sabihin ang opinion mo” he added
“Turn-off ba?” I asked
“Nope but intimidating. Mabuti na lang hindi talaga si Kuya RD, kasi sa sobrang bait at tahimik nun, hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin nya” he said
“Why do you love me RJ?” I asked
“Because my heart says so” he replied
“What makes you heart say that?” I asked again
“Because my heart knows that you are God’s gift to me, I do not know how, basta ang alam ko, bigay ka ng Diyos sa akin. You’re stuck with me Mendoza Girl, as long as Faulkerson, Jr. lives, he will never leave your side” he said
“I know that my love, we are stuck with each other for the rest of our lives” I replied before I grab his lapel for our first kiss for the day. I felt his hand underneath my blouse and it begins to travel from my belly upwards when we heard my stomach growling.
“I’m hungry” I said beaming while our lips are half inch closer.
“It’s late for breakfast but still early for lunch, which would you prefer?” he asked
“Kahit ano, as long as it is you” I flirtly replied
///
We agreed to try the beach and wait for the sunset. We have been staying inside the house since we wake up this morning, most particularly inside the room where we had our first meal of the day at around one in the afternoon.
“I miss my Celestine” RJ said while we are sitting at the shore, enjoying the sea breeze touching our faces. “I called Rizza to check on my little angel this morning but as soon as I talked to her, the more I missed her” he uttered. I can no longer deny RJ’s attachment to Celestine kung hindi kami na-in-love sa isa’t isa, malamang it would be hard for both of them to be separated from each other.
“I miss her too” I said while playing on the sand.
“But it seems she does not misses us at all” RJ said chuckling
“Bakit naman ano ba ang sinabi sa yo” I asked
“Wala nga eh, samantalang before pa mag-didikit kay Rizza ang batang yan, everytime I checked on her kapag nasa office ako laging sinabing ‘come home na dady, I miss you already’. But now it’s different ‘I’m ok daddy, don’t worry about me’. Imagine that” he frustratedly said and I can't help but smile, kahit upset 'tong asawa ko pogi pa rin.
“Selos ka kay Rizza? Pasensya ka, lamang sa girl stuff si Rizza kesa sa yo” I said
“I still remember that first time she held my hand. Grabe ang connection namin na naramdaman ko. That’s why I thought she is my daughter, akala ko ‘lukso ng dugo’ yung feeling of connection ko the first time I saw her. Yun pala, itinuturo na sa akin ng universe na sya ang connection ko to you. Kasi hindi mo naman ako papansinin kung hindi ko mahal si Celestine” he said
“You are right, your love for Celestine is a big factor but that does not dictate my feelings towards you. Kasi kahit gaano mo kamahal si Celestine, kapag ayoko kasi, ayoko talaga. Kaya nga I decided to stay single for the rest of my life, ayoko nang umasa that someone will still seriously love me despite the package. There were few who show interest in me, most of them si Celestine ang ginagamit para mapalapit sa akin, pero ayoko talaga eh, parang naka-lock yung puso at isip ko. Yun pala naka-reserve ako sa yo. I saw your sincerity and that is another big factor” I declared and he held my hand tightly.
“I promise to take care of you and Celestine” RJ said as he kisses my temple “I love you both so much” he said before we share another passionate kiss at sunset.
Richard's POV
Both Maine and I woke up early to attend mass, it helps that we hit the bed early last night. Today is the last day of our honeymoon, sobrang bitin. I wanted to spend more time with Meng, she deserves that, but I know that we have our personal errands to attend to. By her special request, we practically spend almost half of the day outside our vacation house. After mass we had breakfast and roam around San Fernando to check on its beautiful places at the same time makabili na rin ng mga pasalubong.
We have to go to Bulacan tomorrow so we need to leave after breakfast. I have a strict instruction from Tatay Teddy that we pass by their house before we go home in Laguna. I received text from him last night to remind me that we should not forget to pass by Bulacan because of an important thing that we need to discuss. I did not inform Meng, about the text message anyway Tatay Teddy did not mention what the discussion will be all about but it somehow gives me a little fright and I believe this concerns Celestine and I don’t want to worry her.
****************************
I felt that little fright too, nakakaloka ang pagiging spoiler ni Tatay Teddy. But what ever happens I trust that you'll stay by your wife's side Faulkerson, Jr., she will need you this time more than ever. 👫
