A Life Beside Him (AlDub/MaiChard)

CHAPTER 5

MAINE's POV

Today is Sunday at mag-isa ko ngayon dito sa kwarto kasi nga Sundays ay for rest day and family day. Si RJ urgent call para sa shooting ng bago nyang TVC. Si Seth Gab naman hiniram nila Nanay namimiss na raw kasi nila. Ung mga kasambahay namin, naka-day off lahat. Ang lungkot lungkot pala pag walang kasama. Bigla tuloy akong nagkaroon ng ME MOMENT ng di inaasahan. Haha

"Love baeb. I'm homeeee" si RJ na 'yun. Ang aga naman atang nakauwi nun? Five pa lang ah. Alam ko hanggang seven pm pa siya. Bumaba na ako ng hagdan para salubungin siya.
"Uyy! Aga mo ata ngayon ah" sabi ko sabay halik sa kanyang labi.
"Maaga pack-up eh" sagot nya habang naghuhubad ng damit pang-itaas
"RJ ano ba!" sigaw ko sa kanya
"What?" takang tanong naman nya
"Dun ka nga maghubad sa kwarto." unti-unti siyang lumalapit sa akin. Ako naman, atras ng atras ng atras ng atras then shoot dead end. Napasandal na ako sa pader habang sya ay mataman akong tinititigan sa aking mga mata.
"Bakit love, natutukso ka ba sa akin?" mapanukso nyang tanong.
Time to get my shts together.
"Neknek mo" tska ko pinisil ang ilong nya na nakapagpaatras sa kanya "Halika na. Meryenda ka muna!" nagtungo na ako sa kusina at nagprepare ng kanyang makakain. Natatawa naman syang sumunod sa akin.
"Kahit kailan talaga baeb! Ang galing mong magpigil. Hahaha. Asan nga pala si Little Tisoy?" referring to Seth Gab.
"Sinundo nila Nanay kanina. Miss na daw nila eh. Di ko na itinawag sa'yo kasi baka kasalukuyan kang nagshooshoot that time." paliwanag ko
"I see" napapatango nyang sagot habang kumakain ng cake.

We're busy munching our snacks when my phone rang. It was Nanay.
"Hello po 'Nay. May problema po ba?"
"Ah wala naman. Gusto ka raw kausapin ng anak mo. Oh eto. Mom?"
"Yes baby?"
"No baby, Mom. Can I stay at Lola Nanay's house tonight?" Awww. Big boy na talaga ang baby ko. Ayaw ng magpatawag ng "baby".
"It's fine with me but ask your Daddy first" I told him then handed RJ my phone. "What's the matter Seth Gab?"
"Dad can I?"
"Hmmm. Okay. Be a good boy ha. We'll fetch you there tomorrow afternoon"
"Thanks Dad. You're really the best."
"Not a big thing 'lil man!" RJ already handed me my phone. "Hello"
"Hello 'nak."
"Nay si Seth Gab po?"
"Ayun, nagtatakbo na. Tuwang-tuwa"
"Ah sige po 'Nay. Ingat po kayo diyan. Susunduin na lang po namin si Seth Gab bukas ng hapon. Bye po"
"Sige. Kayo rin, mag-iingat kayo."
"Opo" then I hung up the phone.

It was already half past seven. Katatapos lang namin mag-dinner. Magkatabi kami ngayon dito sa sofa sa entertainmet room.
"Love movie marathon tayo pleaseee" pakiusap ko sa kanya sabay cling ng kamay ko sa braso nya, patong ng binti ko sa hita nya at sandal ng ulo sa balikat nya.
"Clingy Meng. Haha. Sige. You choose the movie then I'll get foods and drinks lang saglit"
Effective pa rin pagpapa-cute mo Meng! Hahaha
Maya-maya lang, nakabalik na si Love na may dala-dalang rootbeer at chips.
"Still the favorite?" him referring to the movie on screen, Serendipity.
"Yep. Same as our lovestory. It was written in the stars" I answered.

We stayed in our position kanina na naka-cling ako sa kanya. Nasa kalagitnaan na kami ng panonood ng bigla siyang nagsalita. Kaya ipinause ko muna ung pinapanood namin.
"Love next next week birthday na ni Seth Gab. 5 years old. Tapos ngayon April na, by June magsa-start na siyang mag-school" I looked at him. Minsan lang siya magseryoso ng ganito kaya I make sure na when he did, papakinggan ko siya. Especially if it's about our son.
"Oo nga eh. Ang bilis ng panahon Love. I can still remember the first time I held him in my arms. It was as if I have in hand my world, our world. Ngayon ayaw ng magpatawag ng "baby"" I said as I reminisce those wonderful moments.
"Love don't you think its time to give Seth a baby sister or maybe a baby brother" he said nonchalantly while staring at the ceiling
"Hmmmm" I answered
"Diba? To think na malaki na si Seth Gab and magsa-school na rin sya. Tska I can support and provide for our family naman kahit twenty-four pa maging anak natin" nanunukso nyang sabi.
"Srsly? Twenty-four talaga? Loko-loko ka!" I said as I let out a hearty laugh.
"Yes love. Diba sabi mo that's what you want" I chuckled as I remembered the time that I said it to him "So, paano ba yan? Umpisahan na natin. We have all night" he smirked. Then he kissed me with so much love. And what's supposed to happen had happened. No regrets, just love.

The next thing I knew, it was already 8 in the morning and we're naked under the sheets. He was sleeping peacefully while hugging me.

Last night was magical.

Five years. Five years na akong gumigising araw-araw sa tabi ng lalaking ito and yet every morning still takes my breath away like the first time. I touched his eyes, nose and kissed his lips. Then whispered to his ears, ALL MINE. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at me.

"Good morning love" I greeted him.
"Love, I have to tell you something?" he said. Lalo naman akong sumiksik sa kanya. "Until now I still can't believe na ako ung pinili mong pakasalan" he said then he kissed my forehead after.
"Well, you better believe it love, we still have eternity to travel" I said and kissed his lips.
"Happy 6th Anniversary Mrs. Faulkerson" he whispered as he hugged me tighter. For pete's sake we're still naked under these sheets
"Happy 6th Anniversary until infinity Mr. Faulkerson" I said and gaze at his gleaming eyes.
"Baeb, it's getting hot in here" he said then he chuckle. "But wait!" he then touched my tummy "Hey there little one" he amusingly said
"Hayyy RJ, we just did it last night. Ano yan agad-agad? Hahaha" sabi ko sabay hampas sa dibdib nya.
"Edi siguraduhin natin na meron na talagang laman yan" in a snap he's now on top of me.

Once again, it happened.
It was indeed a happy 6th anniversary to the both of us.
