Kanina pa pinagmamasdan ni Andrius si Gretel simula ng makauwi sila, waiting for her to ask him questions about his past.
Inihanda na niya ang utak at puso niya sa mga pwede nitong tanungin. He's no saint, he must admit. He had affairs with women, he was young, curious and adventurous.
"B-Baby, wala ka bang itatanong sakin?" He asked Gretel ng umupo ito sa kama nila. Gretel glanced at him and smiled mischievously.
"Why? You wanna talk about it?"
Napalunok si Andrius sa nerbyos at agad na umupo sa tabi ng asawa.
"Y-You see, n-normal lang naman iyon sa mga lalaki---"
He pressed his lips tightly ng mapansin ang kakaibang ngiti at titig ni Gretel sa kanya. Like saying 'talk and you're dead'.
"Huhuhu! What do you want me to do? It is already a part of me. And since ikinasal naman tayo wala na kong naging babae." Andrius hugged her tightly and buried his face on her chest para hindi niya makita ang reaksyon ni Gretel at pasimpleng tsansing na rin.
"How can you say that you loved me for 25 years when you've been f*cking women while you're away?" There's sarcasm in her voice.
"Baby! I loved you so much and nasa conditions ng Lolo mo na hindi dapat kita makita hangga't hindi ko pa namimeet ang expectations niya! I need distractions from missing you so much dahil kung hindi baka mabaliw ako at puntahan kita dito para itanan!"
"Then, pumunta ka sana dito, sasama naman ako sayong makipagtanan." She said.
Natigilan si Andrius sa sinabi ni Gretel, he's breath was totally taken away. Gretel just said that to him with a serious face.
"Eh di natameme ka? Sino ba kasing may sabing sundin mo si Lolo? I can decide for myself, kung itinanan mo ko noon baka may limang anak na tayo ngayon." I playful smile formed on Gretel's lips while teasing Andrius na hanggang ngayo'y tulala pa rin dahil sa sinabi niya.
His heart and mind was not prepared for that!
"Uy! I was just kidding!" Gretel snapped her fingers at his face.
Agad namang umasim ang mukha ni Andrius and pinned her down on their bed.
"You're so mean!" Andrius pouted at her.
"Well, I was young, malay mo diba? Pumayag talaga ako in case?" She grinned.
"Hmmm, cheeky. Want do you want for dinner? I'll cook!" Andrius said slightly pinching her cheeks.
"Nasa menu ba yung Andrius?"
Nagdilim ang mukha ni Andrius at mas inilapit pa ang mukha niya kay Gretel.
