"Isa! Kapag ako nadapa ah!" I warned Primo and Ella kasi naka blindfold pa ako!
"Kapag nadapa ka edi lagot kami sa boyfriend mo!" Ella said. "Malapit na bebecakes."
Tumigil kami at tinanggal nila sa akin ang blindfold. I saw Jance in front of me holding a bouquet of daisies and sunflowers.
"Happy anniversary, baby." He said and walked towards me. "Did you like what I did to my house?"
"Ang cute but why are we in your house?" I asked and Ella and Primo sat on the couch.
"I was thinking.. as an anniversary gift if we can you know maybe live together? Only on weekends."
"Huh?"
"Kapag friday ay susunduin kita sa inyo when our jobs are done then live together until sunday. I have two rooms, baby."
"I'm not quite sure eh, I mean I don't know if I'm ready." I explained.
"Please? Minsan lang you can refuse naman pero can we try lang?" He asked kaya pumayag ako.
"Oh tara hinihintay na ako ng boyfriend ko sa restaurant." Ella said then walked out of the house.
Once we arrived ay double celebration pala since nanganak si Eloise last month and makikita na namin ang baby girl!"
"Anong pangalan niya?"
"Penelope Louise Buenafe." Eloi answered. "You guys can call her Penny."
"Aww Penny!" Kinuha ni Estella si Penelope at pinakita kay Oscar. "Bibigyan mo ako ng ganito or hihiwalayan kita?"
"Calm down, woman." He answered kaya natawa kaming lahat. "Primo kunin mo na nga yung anak mo."
We all knew that Oscar didn't want kids pero alam din naming lahat na kapag gusto ni Estella ay sinusunod ni Oscar, no matter what the request is.
"Ella, trust me you don't want to go through childbirth. Super sakit at mapapasabi ka na lang kay Oscar na huwag na huwag uulitin. I yelled all of that at Primo but he refused until he saw how painful it was."
"SINILIP MO!?" Eric yelled at natawa si Primo.
"Of course, I had to know why. Muntik na nga akong mahimatay when it happened." Primo said kaya tinignan ko si Jance.
"Bakit ka nakatingin sa akin?" He asked.
"Do you want kids?" I asked.
"Your choice, baby."
He said and drank his beer. All night he's been asking me if I wanted something new for his house pero I told him na pwede namang hindi na. He refused to listen kaya I asked him if he can stop using his phone while we celebrated.
"Okay baby, sorry." He said.
Binigay sa akin ni Primo si Penelope kaya tinignan ito ni Jance. We were so happy with Penny.
Since I agreed with Jance's proposal on me living with him ay napansin kong binibigay niya lahat sa akin and I wasn't exaggerating when I say everything.
"I painted your room." Jance said when I walked in the house.
Kakagaling ko lang sa lunch with my family and he was home all day.
"What color?" I asked and removed my shoes.
"Neon blue." He said kaya natigil ako. "It's pretty."
"But I don't like blue." I complained but he didn't say anything.
Pumasok ako sa kuwarto to see the room was painted a light yellow with shades of dandelions. I loved yellow, it was a warm color to see. Something about it makes my stomach twirl.
"Jance!" I called and he answered.
"You like?"
I smiled a little then went to lay on the bed.
"Thank you, I love you!"
"Love you too, my yellow."
