"Babe! Babe! Babe!" Tumatakbong papalapit sa akin si Lianna. Inalis ko ang eyeglasses ko at ibinaba ang mga papeles na hawak ko upang salubungin ang mahal ko.
"Guess what.." kumandong ito sa akin habang nakangiti. She is so happy I can see it in her eyes. She wrap her arms around me and kissed the tip of my nose.
"Seems so happy babe... what could be the reason?" I asked her. Hinawi ko ang konting buhok na tumatabing sa kanyang mukha.
"I got the FHM contract! Oh my ghad babe i am so excited!" She hugged me tighter that I couldn't breathe.
"And who's the covergirl?" I asked her. Natawa ito bigla at kinurot ang aking pisngi.
"Anong cover girl... it's not a girl babe... it will be Mario Maurer the actor from thailand would be the coverboy of the month!." Napatayo ako bigla sa kanyang sinabi. What?! She will be taking photos of a man almost naked?! Damn!
" Akala ko ba FHM?..hindi ba't babae iyong mga kino-cover nila.?." kunot-noo kong sabi sa kanya. jeez! hell yeah i'm jealous here.
Napansin niyang nagbago ang timpla ng aking mukha. niyakap niya ako at naglambing.
"Babe it is okay lang naman eh... he will only be topless..." she said, while staring me intently. hinawakan ko siya sa magkabilang balikat at tinignan ko seryoso.
i can see through her facial expression that she is suppressing her laughter.
"Tell me you're kidding me. " seryoso kong tanong sa kanya.
"Babe..." hinawakan niya ako sa magkabilang pisngi.
"Lianna I am serious!." i hissed at her, hinawakan ko ang kanyang kamay para alisin sa pagkakahawak sa aking pisngi.
"Babe, seryoso din ako na nakuha namin yung FHM contract and makakatulong naman ito sa company di ba.?" she retorted.
"I know but you'll be dealing with a guy model. " nagpakawala ako ng hangin sign na frustrated ako sa usapang ito.
"Babe.. kahit si David Beckham, Chace Crawford o Zac Efron pa ang model.. ikaw at ikaw pa rin ang pagnanasaan ko ano ka ba!. " Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit at mahinang tumawa sa pagitan ng aking leeg.
"Okay na? Pumapayag na ba ang mister ko.?" he tapped my back to ease my demons.
"I am so happy I married you!. " We sealed it with a kiss.
I woke up at six am and Lianna's still sound asleep. When I arrived last night at 8:30pm she's already sleeping deeply. She wasn't aware of my kiss and I just shrugged. Maybe she's tired.
I decided to call her on lunch break but she's not answering. I didn't mind the 10 missed calls.
Rumz told me that I have an emergency meeting at 4pm and I just hate the idea that i'll be going home late again. I missed my wife.
I called her again before going to my meeting but then there was no answer so i decided to call manang nelia.
"Hello manang, anong oras po ba umalis si Lianna?".
"Naku hijo eh hanggang ngayon tulog pa ang asawa mo.. Ginising ko nga kaninang tanghali pero hindi man lang natinag.. Nag aalala na nga ako. Nandun na nga anak niyo sa tabi nito, at nag-alala sa kanya."
"Uhh don't worry manang uuwi na ako ang please check on her again now.. Salamat po"
"Sige hijo titignan ko siya sa kwarto niyo."
