GIVE ME A CHANCE (Completed)

16. MARRIED LIFE DAY 1

MATT

Ginising ako ni Jong pagdating sa airport, nakatulog pala ako. Kakagaling ko lang sa meeting with the other Provinvial Board Members. Ginisa ako nung mga kaalyado ni Tina. Alam ko na utos yun ng tatay niya. Na bantayan ako. Kahit pa bantayan nila ako, wala silang makikitang butas sa trabaho ko. Hindi ako corrupt and I fire anyone who works in the provincial capitol kahit kaalyado ko pa yan kung nalaman kung corrupt siya. Wala nang explanations. Tanggal agad.

Ayaw nila yun. ang daming reklamo. Alam ko naman ang batas kaya  magreklamo sila kung gusto nila.

I got off the car and went at the arrivals.Balak kong maghintay sa labas pero nakitat ako ng head security kaya pinapasok ako sa lounge. Pumayag lang ako kasi ang daming nagpapapicture sa akin eh sabi ni Jong breach of  security protocol daw kung tatayo ako sa labas at maghihintay.  So para di niya ako lektyuran, pumasok na lang ako. Tamang tama naman na palabas na ang mga nasa arrivals. Nakita ko na siya kasama si Yaya and yung mga body guards kasunod sila. Maganda naman pala tong napili kong maging Mrs Cruz eh. Sexy at matangkad. Lucy Torres- Gomez, tabi muna diyan at dadaan na si Kristina Fernando- Cruz.  So when she emerged, the people at the arrivals were looking at me and smiling. She did not see me yet. It was Yaya who saw me first. Kaya yun, sinabi niya kay Tina. And she looked at me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. Wala pa akong tulog di pa ako naka pagpalit ng damit. at she is wearing a dress. Yeah, hindi siya simple. Pero hindi naman dun nakikita ang puso ng babae eh.

I approached her. She came to me. She hugged me first so hug  ko din siya. Bakit parang na miss ko tong babaeng to? Siya kaya na miss niya din ako? Haha Matthew, huwag kang engot diyan. This is all acting. Galingan mo na lang ang pag akting mo diyan. I kissed her forehead and I knw everyone's eyes are on us. Yung iba yata hindi pa nila alam na kasal na kami. Yung iba nga I'm sure di rin nila alam na nag on kami. Hahaha. Hindi nga. Pero aktingan na to.

"How are you, How'/s the flight"?

"I'm fine. Okay naman yung flight.  It was raining in Manila. Pero okay lang. Ikaw"

"Okay lang din. We're going to our rented house na. Hindi pa ako nakakabili eh. Wala pang gustong magbenta ng bahay."

She  stopped hugging me and looked at me.

"Bakit kailangan bumili ng house"

"Kasi kukutyain ako ng tatay mo kasi hindi ako nakabili ng bahay na titirhan ng anak niya."

"Does it matter"

She took my hand and we started heading to the car.

"Yes, it matters a lot to me."

"Are you driving"?

"Yes I am driving."

"Hindi ba against the security protocol yan"?

"NAndiyan naman sa likod si Jong and nakabuntot naman mga bodyguards sa atin. Di ba Jong"?

"Pero sir, tama po si....."

"Kampi na sa yo si Jong. Siguro kailangan ko siyang palitan na. HAhaha"

"Ikaw talaga."

"I missed you."

She looked at me. I looked at her. And she got the cue. Kasama namin si Jong eh.

"I missed you too."
And she reached out to hold my hand. Aktingan pero it feels good. I have never had a serious girlfriend before this. Puro dates lang kasi wala akong tume mag seryoso. Now eto na. Seryoso agad. Kasal agad. Tooak ka talaga Matthew.

TINA

Ang laki ng bahay na nirent niya. Ayaw niyang sabihin sa akin kung magkano per month. Yung may ari na mag asawa tuwang tuwa sila sa amin. Siyempre pa cute din kami na sweet kunwari. We share the same room. Malaki ang master bedroom. One queen sized bed, one leather couch, and a toilet and bath na sobrang laki din. My clothes are arranged at the wardrobe room kasama din mga gamit ni  Matt.  May shared office din. And yung guest room nasa baba, dun matutulog ang Yaya niya at yubg tatlo pang maids. Yung servants' quarter kasi puno na. Nandun yung ibang guards at drivers. So definitely puno palagi ang bahay "namin". Di bale wala naman ako palagi dito. Ngayon recess ang congress, ano ang gagawin ko na hibdi political? Na pang newly wed para ma convince sila kahit man lang yung mga maids at itong mga bodyguards namin?

"Manang Estella, nakapag grocery na ba kayo?"

"Yes Ma'am. Nagpa grocery si Gov kahapon. "

" Ah okay. Titignan ko lang yung pantry para samahan niyo ako mag grocery ng mga kulang pa?"

" Sige ma'am. Pag bumaba si Matt, pakisabi nasa pantry ako."

" Sige ma'am"

After an hour

" Nasan asawa ko?"

" Dito. I just checked the pantry. Madami pa kulang kaya mag go grocery kami ni Mg Estella."

" Go with Jong."

" Nandiyan naman bodyguards ko sina Rino.."

" Baka ibalik ka sa Tatay mo kaya kailangan may kasama na kakampi ko."

" San ka pala pupunta?"

" May meeting ako with the provincial board again."

" Maglalunch ka ba dito?"

" Baka hindi. Mamayang gabi na siguro uwi ko."

" Ano pala ang problema sa provincial board at pinapahirapan ka nila?"

" Pinakasalan kita. Mga kaalyado mo ang nagpapahirap sa akin?"

" Sina Tito Roman at Tito Franco?"

" Hmm. Di ka pa kumakain ng breakfast. Kain ka muna."

" Sa office na lang. Or drive thru ng McDo."

" Okay."

" See you later Mrs. Cruz."

And he kissed me sa forehead and gave me a little hug. I hugged him back.

"Wait..."

I took the bag of goodies that I preprared for him to take to his office. Juice, biscuits, egg, Spam. And milk. I asked the maids to cook them so he could bring it to the office. I learned from Yaya that he does not drink coffee. He likes guyabano juice, tomato juice or green mango juice.

"What's this?"

"Your breakfast and snack. I prepared it for you in case you won't eat breakfast today."

"Late na ako eh."

" Sorry you have to.come.pick me up,"

" Husband duty hehe."

" Oh sige, you go na."

He leaned down and kissed me sa lips. Of course I was shocked again. Paglingon ko the househelps were looking at us. So I smiled at him. And he chuckled.

"Yaya, masanay ka na. "

And he looked at me and winked.

" Later, Mrs. Cruz.
