In The Name Of Gun, Die

special Chapter 2

Five years had passed, at lima na din ang anak namin. Diyos ko! Hindi naman ako ginagawang palahian ng asawa ko pero taon taon na lang akong nanganganak. I also remembered when i had my first labor and i told  Rix that i won't be having any of that. Sinabi kong hindi ko na gustong manganak pero heto tignan niyo at lima na anak ko.

"Chan! Can help your sister?" I asked my almost seven years old son to help his third sibling to draw, Mikhaela is three and she loves to draw. I roamed my eyes at puno na ng pintura ang pader na gawa niya. "Mom, I'm seeing Arik can it wait?"

Akala mong sobrang tanda niya magsalit eh pitong taon lang naman ito. Manang mana talaga sa ama. "Why? Didn't you and Arik met awhile here?" Ako na mismo ang lumapit sa anak ko ng hindi ito gumalaw. "Yeah, but he told me to be there now Mom. We're busy. I love you" agad namang itong tumakbo palabas ng mansion at sumakay agad sa kotse ng bodyguard niya.

"Hay! Di ko na alam gagawin sa mga batang ito---oh? You're early"

"Hows my wife? Kids?"

"Si Mika nag pipintura nanaman sa taas ng pader, si Chan umalis pupuntahan si Arik while Hebrew is busy reading the two tulog. Oh ikaw bakit maaga ka?" Pumulupot agad ang mga braso niya sa akin.

"I know you're tired here. I took a week leave, ako muna magaalaga sa mga bata. Hmmm? What do you like to eat? Im cooking"

Nagisip muna ako, minsan na lang kasi ako makatikim ng luto niya. Hmmm aha i know! "I want buttered spicy shrimps"

"Okay, I'll cook that. Wait me in the kitchen magbibihis lang ako" tumango ako at pumasok sa kusina, agad akong kumuha ng plato at nagslice ng cake. "Hey? Hungry?" Umiling ako, habang nagsimula na siyang balatan ang hipon ay gumawa ng sinabi ko. Kahit naka-t-shirt ito ay bakat na bakat pa din ang katawan niya. Sana hindi na lang siya nagabala magdamit.

"Stop staring sweet, i may not finish my cooking and take you here instead"

"Behave na ako" matapos ang labing-limang minuto ay nakahain na ang hipon sa harapan ko. I scoop some shrimp at ipinalaman sa cake na kinakain ko. Hmmm this taste good! "What?---masarap kaya"

"Are you pregnant?"

"Me?"

He nod. Wait, me pregnant? Well, i didn't had my period last week. Hindi naman ako iregular at laging tama ang period ko---oh no!

"Sweet, i think you're pregnant again" umiling iling ako sa kanya, not that i don't want it but ayoko na talagang manganak! It hurts ya know!

"Rix naman eh! Mahirap manganak eh--" i didn't plan to cry but my sobs started growing wild at naiyak na talaga ako. Rix on the other hand wrapped me to his muscular arms, why does he had such physique? Nakalimutan ko ang pagiyak ko ng maamoy ko siya good! Ang bango ng asawa ko!  I sniffed him again ang again when he pull away from me. I whined because of that "wag kang lalayo Cavill, isa" i warn him, natawa na lang ito at binuhat ako para maupo sa kandungan niya.

"Good"

"We need to see your doctor Sweet, you might be pregnant again. Damn!"

Tumango na lang ako at pinapak ang hipon sa cake ko. Ng matapos kami ay nagbihis agad ako para pumunta sa OB, naabutan kong kausap ni Rix ang dalawa naming anak Hebrew and Hael.

"Hey, sino magbabantay sa mga bata?" I ask "Tita Fhe will be here soon" i nod. Maya maya ay dumating na nga si Aunt Fhe

"Sige na hijo. I'll take care with this cuties"

"Thanks Aunt--- Brew, Hael papakabait ha. And please don't paint around honey. Ibibili ka namin ng canvas"

"Okay!"

---------

"As you can see here Mrs. Cavill--that's your baby. He's three weeks old now. Healthy naman siya, I'll just give you vitamins tulad ng dati"

I don't know if I'm going to cry because of happiness or the fact na manganganak nanaman ako after nine months. Natungo nanaman ako habang nagaayos ng bestida.

"Hey, you're not happy?"

"Hindi sa ganoon, is just that--sigh, Rix mahirap manganak" niyakap naman niya ako at hinaplos ang ulo ko. "Don't worry. Last na ito. I just want us to have a big family. Im sorry, last na ito sweet" i hugged him too.

"Deal. Last na to!"

"Yes ma'am!"

We went out the room at pinuntahan ang Ob ko. She's writing some prescription for my intakes. After my check up we went to the mall to buy my daughter her canvas. Probably we bought ten of them, muka kasing kulang ang dalawa sa kanya sa hilig niyang magpinta.

"Mauna kana, kukunin ko itong canvas ni Hael" i nod at him bumukas ang pinto at bumungad agad sa akin ang mga batang nasa sala, Aunt Fhe is carrying my youngest child Drayven. While Hael and Hebrew is busy eating their food.

"Oh buti nandito na kayo---Arik! Wag kong asarin si Hael--- Arik!" That's Lilac and yeah that s
Her son Arik na best friend ni Chan. Silang dalawa naman kasi ang malapit ang edad no wonder at nagkakasundo sila.

"What's going on? People? My PTA ba?" Tanong ko, eh parang Parents Association itong mansion dahil sa kanila.

"Wala, tinawagan kami ng asawa mo na pumunta dito. May balita daw"

"Hoy Loir aba sinabi kong tignan mo tong anak natin eh!" That's his wife, Leignah. Napakamot naman ng ulo itong kaharap ko at gad na lumapit sa asawa niya at kinuha si Zayn. "Opo, ito talagang asawa kong pinakamaganda!"

"What's the news?" Alec, while holding a woman. Teka iba nanaman to ah! Parang blonde ang kasama niya last week tapos brunette na ngayon? "Ewan. puede ella entender filipino? / She understand filipino?"

"Yeh.."

"tú mujeriego/ you womanizer!" I said as i slapped his arm. Napaka!

"So guys, what's the news? Buong buo tayo oh?" I looked up to Rix, bahala siya magsabi. Nagugutom na ako eh.

"My wife's pregnant again" i looked at them, laglag panga? Talaga ha. Kumurap kurap sila, tanging si Aunt Fhe lang ang nakabati agad sa amin.

"Pota, hanep! My paliga na si Rix!"

"Your mouth, Cordovez! May mga bata----congrats Cat, Rix pang anim na yan ah?" I smiled to Lilac. Nga eh!

"Taragis pre, galing mo shumot!" Rix smirked at him "of course, wala sa lahi ko ang sablay" the room filled with laughs and greetings from my friends. I'm so grateful i have this kind of family i can say.

They stayed here until dinner's over. Our children already sleeping up to their rooms while I and Rix stayed in the library. Gumagawa kasi ito ng papeles tungkol sa kompanya.

"It's late now sweet. You need to sleep" pero umiling ako, lumapit at umupo ako sa kandungan niya "ugh sweet" umungol ito ng maupuan ko ang kanya, He's growing so fast, tindi talaga!

"Let's sleep na. You said you'll have your week leave. No works for a week right?"

"Okay then. Let's go" he lift me up like a bride. Tumaas agad kami sa kwarto namin at maingat niya akong ibinaba sa kama habang siya ay tinatanggal ang damit niyang suot. "Done"

Nahiga na kami, i can feel his heat, body heat consuming my coldness. Nakakarelax ito at parang may sarili akong sauna. "Hmmm" mas humigpit pa ang yakap ni Rix sa akin, mayat maya ay hinahalikan niya ang tuktok ng buhok ko.

"I love you so much Wife."

"Hmmm love you--Rix"

Before finally closing my eyes and dream my happy contented life.

Tapos na talaga. Last na yan. Thank you!
