They have already packed their things up. Sayvel was watching Rayko's back. He's facing the window, making exagerrated gestures with her hand. Tumawag ito sa bahay nila, and surely hindi nagustuhan ng mama ni Rayko na bigla itong magpapaalam na aalis sila na di sinasabi ang lugar at hindi din sinasabi ang dahilan. Mahihirapan talaga itong kumbinsihin ang ginang.
Kanina lang gustong umuwi ng nobyo ssa kanyang magulang tapos bigla na lang pagdating nila magpapaalam ito na aalis sila sa papunta sa di malamang lugar.
Baklang to. Walang consistency.
Mga ilang sandali pa nakita nya ang pagbagsak ng balikat ng nobyo bago ito humarap sa kanya at pilit syang nginitian.
"Mom is not happy" he laughs.
"Of course she wouldn't be happy" she asked trying to put humor in her voice but it came out like a plain statement.
She's too wasted right now
He walks towards her giving her a bear hug.
"Baby" he muttered
"mmm?"
"I love you" anas nito. It gave her the chills that ran through her spine. Why oh why she can't get enough of those words.
She's too overwhelmed that she didn't get to answer.
----
"San tayo pupunta ngayon" she asks. Nagdadrive ngayon ang nobyo at hindi niya alam kung saan sila pupunta. Not that she cares, everywhere is fine with him.
"Sa lugar kung nasaan ang pamilya mo" he said smiling pero nakatingin lang ito sa unahan. He was a careful driver at parati lang itong nasa moderate speed dahil sa trauma nito.
Pamilya? Did she ever had one?
"What family?" she asked again confused.
He laughs. Okay? Sanay sya na sya parati yung nangunguna sa kanilang dalawa, and now hes the one taking over and making decisions. It's a one of a hell of a character development and she's really starting to feel his masculinity oozing out.
Somehow--it felt good.
Kumunot noo niya "Saan ngaa. Anong pamilya?" She inquires impatiently .
"On one condition" he said. Nakita niya na ngingisi ngisi ito. Aba letse.
"Ano yun?" seryosong tugon niya
"I want a baby" saglit sya nitong tinapunan ng tingin . A sincere smile playing on his lips.
"Anoo?!Edi bumili ka ng baby!" she blurts out of nervousness,her eyes is big like saucers at talagang bumilis tibok ng puso nya sa tanong nito.
His laugh fills the night air .
"Makasabi ka parang nabibili lang ang baby sa grocery store!"
She smacked him real hard at his arms
"Babe!" He laughs again at medyo nagsway pa ang kotse ng kaunti.
She crossed her arms, sobrang nakakunit ang noo niya.Pero sa totoo,kinilig siya dun. He wants a baby with her. He's thinking of their future together and it makes her heart warm all over.
"Sorry na" tinitingnan siya nito mula sa gilid ng mata habang nagdadrive. Halatang tuwang tuwa sa kanya kasi di matanggal tanggal ang ngiti nito sa labi
"San nga kasi tayo pupunta" pinilit nyang wag ipahalata na kinikilig sya sa boses nya.
"I already told you my wife"
Nagsitambulan na naman ang puso nya sa tinawag nito sakanya. She exhaled trying to calm her heart down. Damn ,this is torture.
"wala akong pamilya Rayko,alam mo yan simula pa pagkilala mo sakin" halos pabulong nyang usal
"baka meron pero hindi mo lang sinabi sakin " banat nito sa kanya. seryoso na ang mukha nito ngayon
Natigilan siya sa sinabi nito. He knows?!
"ano ibig mong sabihin" napaiwas siya ng tingin
He just smiles sadly. "you know family is not always based on blood relations.Bago kita makilala may kinikilala ka nang pamilya pero hindi mo sakin sinabi" direktang sabi nito.
She felt guilt. She was afraid he'd know at first. It's not that she wouldn't tell him. Ang dami lang nangyari sa buhay nila na hindi niya na nagawang sabihin pa
"I'm sorry" she said looking down feeling ashamed she had forbidden to him to know a very important part of her life.
He felt his hands over her own.
"Don't be. Wag mo nang isipin ang dami mo na ngang iniisip ngayon. You know I really understand why you haven't told me about it"
"How did you know?" She said in a quiet tone
He shrugged "Nung nawala ka I was too desperate to find you. My brother helped me through it, you know you can't underestimate his skills. While were in it, we found your family" He explains like it was just nothing while it was a big weight for her.
Labis nya itong nasaktan nung iniwan niya ito. She made a mental promise to herself that she won't ever do it again. She can't guarantee that she won't hurt him again ,but at least she won't hurt him again that way, by leaving him. Ever.
She sighed. "Kung maibabalik ko lang ang oras,hindi kita iiwan"
He smiles. Wow, someones in a good mood for a person that is eloping. Parang hindi sila tumatakas ngayon eh no
"I wouldn't change a thing babe. Because at that time when you're gone? Al though it was really hard, it dawned to me how important you are to me. How empty I was without you" Tinapunan na naman siya ng tingin as he flashed a charming smile.
Nagwala na naman ang puso niya.
He suddenly stopped the car and kisses her without warning. She was caught off guard. He bit his her lower lip making her open her mouth. He took that chance to devour her mouth.
She returned his kisses with same fervor. Passionate. Yearning. They can't get enough of each other.
"Sorry, I can't help myself" he laughs as he started the engine once more and continued driving.
Hindi siya makaimik dahil nagtatambulan ang puso niya sa ginawa nito.
"For real though, nahihirapan na ako magkontrol sa totoo lang. Gusto ko nang magkababy sayo" pag-amin nito.
Nawindang siya sa sinabi nito. Humalakhak naman ito sa hitsura niya.
"Don't worry , I am willing to wait. After all, I also believe in sex after marriage" namula siya dahil sobrang swabe ng pagkakabigkas nito ng 'sex'
Sinamaan niya ito ng tingin pero hindi niya matago tago ang pamumula ng mukha niya na mas lalong ikinahalakhak ng nobyo niya na ngayon ay walang nang bahid ni katiting ng pagkabakla.
Mga ilang sandali,nakatulugan niya na lang ang biyahe nila
