Heart of the Sea

XXXIX

Preparing for our wedding was very difficult. Sebastian and I argued a lot kasi marami kaming bagay na gusto at ayaw pero hindi kami nagkakakaunawaan. But in the end, he'll give in. Oo, siya talaga. Wala siyang choice!

When our wedding day finally came, I was a nervous wreck. Palagi akong nagpapanic at nag-ooverthink lalo na nung papunta na kami sa simbahan. Bumalik lang ang aking poise nung binatukan ako ni Kelsa.

But the wedding was amazing. It went well and everybody was happy, especially me. I am officially Mrs. Mya Lacson.

We also got married in Dimasalang. Gusto ko kasing maikasal sa lugar kung saan ako ipinanganak, at para rin nandun ako kinasal sa lugar kung nasan si Tatay.

We stayed in Dimasalang for a week before moving to Davao. Dito na kami titira pero nangako kami kay Donya Tanyang na babalik dun kapag nanganak na ako at malaki na ang bata.

Now, Sebastian and I are almost eight months married. We're both happy and contented of what we have right now. And I'm pregnant!

It all happened so fast. I remember the night where I gave my all to Sebastian. It was painful yet amazing. I am happy that I gave it to the man I love the most. And now, I am pregnant with Mr. Sebastian Colt Lacson's child.

"Bakit ayaw mong malaman ang kasarian ng bata?" Tanong ni Kelsa habang nagpapafoot massage kami.

Kelsa's in Davao too, of course. We hired someone else to manage Alde Apparel Alaska. Kung malaki na ang anak ko, babalik ako sa trabaho.

"Ayaw rin kasi ni Bast. Gusto naming masurpresa." Nakangiti kong sabi.

Kelsa switched her foot before speaking again. "So bought unisex clothes?"

I grinned. "Yup," I said. "and Sebastian was so excited. Nung two weeks pa akong buntis, nagshopping na siya kaagad ng mga damit at gamit na pambata."

"Well, masasabi mo talagang masaya si Sebastian sa bata," She chuckled. "I'm happy for you, My. You deserve this."

I smiled at her. "Thanks, Kelsa."

She grinned at me. "Even though we're bestfriends, don't forget about my salary, okay?"

Tumawa ako bago hinaplos ang tiyan ko. "Oo naman basta ikaw ang Ninang ng bata, ah?"

"Shempre," Sabi niya. "nako, mukhang sa batang ito ang bagsak nn sweldo ko." Biro niya.

Humalakhak ako. Magsasalita pa sana ako nang tumunog ang cellphone ko na hawak hawak ko lang. I smiled when I saw my husband's name.

"Hm, yes, Bast?" Sagot ko.

"Hi, baby. What are you doing? Are you at home?" His voice was husky.

"Yes, I'm at home. Nagpapafoot massage lang. Kelsa brought two foot massagers." I said.

"Girls?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, Mr. Fancy Pants," I teased. "what time are you coming home? Did you eat lunch already?" I asked before checking the time on my watch.

"Yes, my wife. I'll be home soon, I'll just finish my work." Sabi niya. "are you done eating?"

"I'm done eating," Sagot ko. "skip your work and umuwi ka na. I miss you." Walanghiya kong sabi.
