Married Life

Kathryn's POV

"Coming!" I shouted as I walk to the sala to open the main door.

"Hi!" Si Arisse at si Trina agad ang bumungad saakin pagbukas na pagbukas ko pa lang ng pinto.

"Kayo pala. Let's go inside." Pagkatapos ko silang yakapin, inaya ko na sila sa loob.

It's been a while since we had a day for us, three.

Ang huling bonding namin was noong birthday ko pa. When DJ invited them for my surprise party.

Naging busy kasi sila these past few days and we only communicate through texts or sa social media accounts namin.

"So, what are we going to do today?" Trina asked me.

"Diba dapat ako magtatanong niyan? Kasi kayo pumunta dito?" Nakangiti kong tanong sa kanilang dalawa.

"On point," Pinaupo ako ni Arisse sa tabi niya. "... but gusto naming malaman kung anong gusto mong gawin. Para sigurado kaming mag eenjoy ka." She added.

Wala naman akong maisip na pwede naming gawin.

Bukod sa matulog and kumain, I don't have any idea that will be fun and exciting today.

"Hala. Sige okay lang saakin kung kayo mag suggest," Tumayo ako para ayusin yung mga gamit ni Sky sa lamesa sa harap namin. ".... Baka kasi hindi kasi kayo maging masaya sa suggestion ko," Kinuha ko ang bag niya at inilagay lahat ng mga gamit niya. ".... And I don't want you two to leave the house without smiles on your faces." Bumalik ako sa pag kakaupo ko sa tabi ni Arisse.

"It's okay. That's why we're here. Para maging happy ka naman. Kasi sure kami na ang kukulit ng children mo." Sabi saakin ni Arisse.

They've always been good friends to me.

And I'm happy that they're happy with me.

"So, anong gusto mong gawin, Mrs. Ford?" Tinanong ako ni Trina.

"I want to eat and to sleep. Lagi na lang kasing masakit ang katawan ko eh. I want to rest." Sabi ko naman sa kanila.

Eat and sleep. That's what DJ and I usually do whenever we're free. Free from work and free from our children.

We spoil each other with food.

We cuddle, we kiss all day.

We tell sweet things to one another as if we haven't know all of that yet.

To eat and to sleep is a really good thing to do, especially when you're with someone you love.

"I like that idea. So what are we going to cook today?" Tumayo silang dalawa.

"I have lasagna sa fridge, initin na lang natin. And pa deliver na lang tayo ng iba." I reached for my phone on my pocket.

This is what DJ and I used to eat.

Nag papa-deliver na lang siya because he doesn't want me to get tired of cooking.

"Where's tita Min nga pala and your kids?" Tinanong akoni Arisse nang nasa kitchen na kami.

Nandito kami kala mama for now. Wala naman kasi kaming kasama sa bahay namin. And mahirap na baka 'pag manganak ako, walang makaka tulong saakin.

"Sa taas silang lahat. Natutulog." I answered habang kinukuha ang lasagna sa ref.

Nilagay ko sa pan and pinasok ko na sa oven. Masarap kainin ang lasagna 'pag mainit pa.

"Mango shake?" Tinanong ko sila nang makita kong may fresh mangoes sa kitchen.
