THE RAIN IN ESPAÑA

76.

"Luna, Adi invited me to drink and he also wants me to go. I'm letting you know as well as I am asking if I can go?"

1 hour pa lang since kakauwi namin galing sa 2 days trip and kabababa lang niya galing hagdan. So, napatingin ako sa kaniya from where I am at.

I'm playing with Estella right now. She just woke up from her 2  hours nap. Kaya, nilalaro ko siya. Samantalang yung daddy niya, parang kaka-akyat lang ng hagdanan para magbihis tapos ngayon magpapaalam na aalis na. Eh, kakauwi nga lang namin. Pero, atleast nagpaalam siya. I mean, dapat lang no, asawa niya ko eh.

"Bakit kayo mag-iinom? Eh, kakatapos lang semanasanta. May saltik ata si Adi ha."

"I know."

Tignan mo, alam pala niya tapos magpapaalam pa sakin. Nahawaan na siya ni Adi. Hay nako.

"Eh, yun naman pala eh. So, bakit, ka pa magpapaalam?"

"So, you don't want me to go?"

Malamang.

At chka, andaming pwedeng araw para mag-iinom. Bat ngayon pa, kung kailan kakatapos lang ng semanasanta?

"Yes."

I approached Kalix and kissed him on the cheeks.

"You can re-schedule Adi's plan. I'll tell Adi, do you want me to?"

He's staring at me while I'm saying that. After awhile, he shakes his head as a reply and kissed Estella and I's forehead.

Estella giggled at what her Daddy did to her.

Hmmm, halatang Daddy'd girl. Pag kasi ako ang gumagawa sa kaniya niyan. It's either she would just laughed or no reaction.

"You don't have to. I will talk to Adi. Besides, I don't want to go either." He smiled at Estella when he saw his daughter reaction.

Tignan mo 'to.

For a moment, I could feel that Kalix was dancing with me while I was carrying our daughter.

At the same time, whilst he was dancing with me, he brought his face closer to the side of my neck.

And said.

"I love you, Luna. Without you, I've got no reason to live."
