He's Mad

40: Save me hubby!

My dear husband...you're misunderstanding something. Sila ay naiinggit dahil lahat nang mga babae sa resort kanina at sa beach ay nakatitig sa'yo. It's not like gandang ganda sila sa Asawa mo! And my so ever possessive husband might have known or not what's PDA pero kung maka dikit siya saakin ngayon wagas!

He's staring at me intently, the wind was blowing and it makes my hair a mess. But Jhiro was looking into my eyes like he just saw an angel. I felt shivers up then down to my spine when he encircled his arms around my waist. Tucking some strands of hair fanning my face behind my ear, holding my chin and kissed my forehead. God, em I in heaven?

If that's the case then please. Let me stay here. In a paradise with him.

Maghahapunan na nang ipaliwanag saakin ni Jhiro ang balak niya. It's hitting two birds with one stone daw.

Basically, work is not going too smoothly he said. He's been stressed out dahil sa isang investor na gusto niyang makasosyo but the latter was having a vacation with his wife. It's too awkward to chase him by himself kaya naman naisipan ni Jhiro na isama ako. At first He doesn't want to tell me about this pero nagpumilit ako. It's a sudden vacation kaya alam kong something was off.

He'd been thinking na isekreto ito dahil baka isipin ko daw na chaperone lang ako sa trip na Ito. I just laughed. Ay nako, Jhiro! Sa mukha mong mala artista level kahit ayaw ko, mukha pa rin akong chaperone kapag kasama mo! Tho. I didn't said it out loud. Baka kasi ma bad trip nanaman siya saakin. Alam nyo naman yan. Topakin.

So we're supposed to greet Mr. and Mrs. Lee here sa restaurant.

" Oh! Hi Mr. Mijares. Glad meeting you here! " Dinig kong sabi nito. He looks kind and bubbly kaya naman hindi ko maimagine kung paano niya nireject ang proposal ni Jhiro, which is nakakagulat. He's around 50, I guess at patawarin ako pero kahawig niya si Santa. Ay bad ka talaga Chiyo!

" Well, I was really planning to persuade you but I guess I need a break too. " Pag aamin ni Jhiro sabay hila saakin sa tabi niya.

" oh? Is she your rumored wife? Nice meeting you iha. " baling saakin nito at nag smiled. Tumango naman ako at nakipag kamay. I heard him laugh and it's kinda funny dahil ' ohoho ' ang tunog nang tawa niya. Oh diba!? Santa?

" No! No! I don't want to be here! I want Mommy. Bring me my Mommy!! Waaaaah-! "

Napalinga kaming tatlo nang marinig namin ang sigaw na iyon. Then I saw a granny I think around 50. She look troubled while looking at a kid around 5 na nakasalampak sa sahig. It was a little boy na nakasuot nang cute na super man shirt. I was about to go there to help nang makita kong lumapit si Santa— I mean si Mr. Lee sa kanila. He carried the little boy at tinapik tapik ang likod nito. At first nagpumiglas piglas pa Ito. Lalapit na sana ako dahil sa awa sa dalawang matanda, but Jhiro grabbed my hand at marahang umiling.

" Last summer... that kid Mom died. I think that's the reason why they brought him here. To remind him of the good memories. " Marahang sabi ni Jhiro. Napakagat labi naman ako at naramdaman ang kurot sa dibdib ko.

It must've been hard for him...
Napaka bata pa nito pero wala na siyang Ina. Oo, mayaman sila at mayroon siyang dalawang Lolo at Lola na mag aalaga sa kaniya. But...it's still hard without a Mom. And I know too damn well what it's feel like. Iba kasi ang kalinga nang isang Ina, at mararanasan niyang mabuhay nang wala ito sa murang edad.
