DE LOUGHREY [TDH - III]

Chapter 35

ADA MARGARETTE

We spent a week in France and all we did was visit the famous spots and restaurants in Paris. Iain and I were guided by some French friends of his, while we are currently dining in a Restaurant, he kept having phone calls from work and I was just savoring all the delicious foods that we ordered.

Literal na buhay prinsesa ako ngayon at walang ibang ginawa kundi ang mag demand kay Iain ng mga gusto ko.

"Kain ka na, puro ka cellphone." sermon ko na para bang matanda pa ako sa kanya.

"Baby, chill. Enjoy the view and eat your food. I'm fine though." aniya at binuklat na ang napkin at pinatong iyon sa lap niya.

Hindi ko na siya pinansin at tinapos nalang ang pagkain ko. Lahat ng sulok na naaabot ng mata ko ay puro magagandang spot, sobrang maaliwalas at payapa ng lugar na ito.

Ilang oras ang makalipas ay bumalik na kami sa hotel na pinags-stayhan namin dito sa France at nagpahinga. Pagod na pagod ang mga paa ko sa kakalakad, buti nalang at komportable ang kama kaya kahit papaano ay nabawasan ang pagod ko.

"My parents wants to meet you." sabi ni Iain at sumandal sa wall habang naka-fold ang dalawang braso.

"Huh? Bakit?" naguguluhang tugon ko at nagsimulang kabahan dahil alam kong hindi ako magugustuhan ng pamilya ni Iain.

"I told them you were pregnant and I wanna marry you before you give birth." diretsahang sagot niya at kumindat pa.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang wala lang kay Iain na mami-meet ko ang parents niya when in fact, dapat man lang ay mabahala rin siya dahil alam naman naming dalawa na magiging tutol ang pamilya niya gaya ng mga napapanuod ko sa mga movie.

"Paano kung ayaw nila sakin?"

"They will like you. Just trust me, I got it all fixed before you knew. All you just need is show up and talk to them naturally, baby." lumapit siya sakin at sumandal sa headboard ng kama at inakay ako palapit sa kanyang braso.

"Paano kung malaman nila na 18 palang ako tapos sobrang tanda mo na? Baka magalit lang sila sayo kapag nagpakita ako roon." nagsimula na ang pago-overthink ko at klase-klaseng sirkumstansya na ang pumasok sa isip ko.

"My parents have 7 years gap, I don't think that's an issue in my family. Besides, I think Mom will have a hard-time getting close with you but I know she will. She's a materialistic and self-centered person, but I won't let her get in you." he assured me and kissed my forehead.

"Wala ka bang kapatid?" pangu-usisa ko at napatingin sa kanya.

"I have a half-sister, she's 20 years old from my Mom's side." he responded with a light face.

"Ibig sabihin mami-meet ko rin siya?" excited kong tanong at abot tenga ang ngiti nang malaman iyon.

"You'll meet everyone, baby." simpleng tugon niya at ipinikit ang mata.

"Sige." kunwareng tipid kong sagot pero sa loob ko ay nagaaway parin ang kaba at saya dahil sa mga magaganap.

"I love you." bulong niya.

"H-ha?" kabadong sagot ko.

"I love you so much."

"Hahaha." nerbyos kong tawa.

"I love you more than anything in this fucking world."

"Wuvwuv you too." pa-cute kong sagot at nag-finger heart pa. "Ligo kana. Gusto ko amoy mo kapag bagong ligo, napaka-fresh."

He grinned at me and stood up. He took a shower and I just laid comfortably at the bed while waiting for him to come back.
