Problem

WEEKS passed by quickly. Tumawag na ako kay Aunt Lauren at sa mga magulang ko, sinabi ko sa kanila na maayos kami rito. Tinotoo nga talaga ni Lazarus ang sinabi niya noong gabing iyon. Kinabukasan no'n ay ang hirap maglakad matapos ang magdamag na ginawa namin.

First, second and third days with him were okay but not until the other days. Whenever he went home from work, he would go directly to our room and face his laptop to manage something, businesses, emails and anything related to his work.

Binibigyan niya naman ng oras ang mga bata, at gabi-gabi bago matulog ay ako naman ang bibigyan niya ng oras kahit alam ko namang pagod siya.

He was out to work all day but when he's here? He'd be too busy working and typing on the keyboard of his laptop. I let him. Pero lumipas ang ilang araw na sa tuwing umuuwi siya ay hindi na talaga siya nakikipaglaro sa mga bata. Mas inaatupag niya pa ang pagtatrabaho kahit na nandito naman siya sa bahay.

I wanted to work too but I had duties and responsibilities as a mother and that was to take care of the kids. I could work. Perhaps I would just wait for the two to grow older. Felt like I was one of the historical women in history, who, as a wife, would stay at home and do the things a woman would do inside and outside of the house.

Lazarus didn't hire someone as maids or anyone to help me with the household chores. It was not that hard for me because the house had complete equipment and things such as washing machine, vacuum cleaner and more. Way more easier but I didn't like it.

It's not like I was complaining to do it, but I just felt like I was someone unimportant to him. Who would've thought that a billionaire like him would let me work these things? Sure, he was helping me with the household chores and the kids every night. But that's just too much for him, he was tired of working in his company all day. He should rest. I would thought that he was somehow punishing me. Every day punishments with his stubborn prideful kids, and every night with his naughty and wildly active habit.

Wearing a loose baby blue cropped top and black simple shorts, I tied my hair up in a messy bun. I was cooking for our dinner and my babies were playing at the living room.

Malalaman ko naman na dumating na si Lazarus mula sa trabaho niya dahil maririnig ko ang ingay ng mga anak ko. Abala ako sa pag-fried ng chicken na request ni Zon nang naramdaman ko ang matigas na brasong pumulupot sa baywang ko.

His rough hand was caressing my exposed stomach because I was just wearing my cropped top.

"I missed my baby. . ." he whispered sexily under his hot breath, kissing my neck leisurely.

Napaatras ako nang may iilang mantika ang tumalsik kaya naramdaman ko kaagad ang matigas niyang dibdib sa likod ko.

"You smell so good," he complimented after breathing my neck and hair in.

Inahon ko na ang fried chicken at inilagay sa isang bowl na may strainer at may lamang mga fried chicken din. Sunod kong inilagay ang frying pan sa sink. I turned off the stove before facing Lazarus.

He looked so tired, eyes so soft and gentle. Kaya ako na mismo ang nagtanggal ng tie niya. I unbuttoned three buttons of his long sleeves white shirt to at least make him feel the freedom from work.

"Change your clothes. I'll prepare our dinner," I said, serious and gave him a swift kiss on his strong jaw. "Please, ayaw kong manatili ka sa kuwarto," pahabol ko bago siya tinalikuran at inilapag ang bowl na puno ng fried chicken sa kitchen island katabi ang ilan pang niluto kong mga pagkain.

"Cali baby." Malambing niyang tawag sa akin at naramdaman ko ulit ang paglapit niya kaya hinarap ko siya. Nakatalikod na ako sa mga pagkain na nakalapag sa kitchen island ngayon.
