"Lal, ikaw na bahala magdala kay Ate Nhila ng pasalubong ko sa kanya ha. Saka after nito, pahinga ka na rin muna. Magkita na lang tayo bukas."
"Sigurado ka? Limang araw din akong pahinga nung umalis ka, pahinga ulit?", natatawa niyang tanong sakin.
"Oo nga. Teka, parang ayaw mo a. Sige ka, bukas dirediretso na trabaho ko. Baka mamaya saka ka magrerequest ng pahinga."
"O sige na. Oo nga pala. Salamat sa bagong damit at sapatos. Regards kay— alam mo na."
"Drive safe, Lal. Salamat."
I took my duffle bag at my luggage habang pinapanood ang pagalis ni Jalal. Dito na ko sa harap ng building nagpababa dahil nagusap kami ni Sarah na sa condo ko na lang siya maghintay. Habang papunta ako sa lift lobby I saw Richard.
"Gerald. Nakabalik ka na pala—"
"Yeah."
"You're going to see her? We can take the VIP—"
"No. I'm good. She's at my condo."
I saw his surprised look. Well I guess, Sarah didn't mention that I live here too.
"Wait— you live here too?"
"Yup."
I saw him na tatango-tango.
"Well I guess, I'll go ahead. See you around."
Tinanguan ko lang siya saka naglakad na papunta sa lift.
Halos hindi ako mapakali when I reached the door of my unit. I punched in my code at ang masarap na amoy agad ng niluluto niya ang sumalubong sa akin.
"Babe? I'm home!"
I saw her on the kitchen busy sa paghalo at pagtikim ng niluluto niya. Nilingon niya ko saglit saka ako naglakad palapit sa kanya. Niyakap ko siya nang mahigpit mula sa likod and I felt her hand on my cheek.
"Namiss kita."
She put down the ladle she's holding and turn off the stove so she can face me. She gave me a long-lingering kiss on my lips.
"Namiss din kita. How's your flight?"
I scoop her up and helped her settled in one of the bar stools. Her hands on my neck.
"Sobrang tagal ng five days, Babe. Kung alam mo lang how much I wanted to go home para makasama ka. Nasa panaginip kita gabi-gabi. Ganon ako ka patay na patay sa'yo. Ganon kita ka-miss. And I end up fantasizing about you— aw!"
Hinawakan ko agad ang tenga ko na pinilipit niya.
"Ikaw talaga!"
"What? I'm just being real, Babe. Hindi mo alam kung gaano kalungkot na hindi kita kasama. Na hindi kita nahahalikan nang ganito."
I kiss her lips while my hands caressing her thighs. My kisses went down to her neck. How can she smell this good kahit na pinagpapawisan at galing sa pagluluto?
"I missed this—"
My hands slid inside her shirt. Ngayon ko lang din napansin na she's wearing my shirt pala. I stopped kissing her for a while saka siya tinitigan.
