The Desperate Marriage

Ours

Agad ko siyang tinalikuran after saying that words. She was stiffened with it. I had enough of her attitudes. I know she's goading me and blaming for everything my fault was. I can accept if she needs freedom but I can't accept if that guy will ever replace my place. Sinusuwerte siya. I won't never give my wife to anyone else. Not ever.

Sa wakas, we are now here in mansion. My son was so excited to see his own room. I design it with avengers characters in the entire room as his favorites marvel movie.

"Wow. Daddy this is amazing!"

Manghang-mangha ito nang makapasok. I'm glad he very much like it.

"Do you like it son?"

I asked him kahit alam kong nagustuhan niya. His eyes were dancing with happiness.

"Opo."

Mabilis siyang umakyat sa kama at nagtatalon talon sa tuwa. I smiled happily. This room is adjacent to our master's bedroom. May secret passage dito. Para anytime ay pwede namin siyang mapuntahan dito sa kwarto.

"You won't sleep with your Mom?"

I asked. Usually sa ganitong edad attached pa ito sa nanay tuwing natutulog.

He shakes his head off. I frown.

"I'm a big boy na. I can sleep on my own."

Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. I remember my childhood memories. Parang ako lang. I used to be independent even though I was feared with my nightmares.

"Well sounds good, little boy. Come on give Daddy a hug!"

He laughed while running towards me and I scoop him immediately as I reach him in my arms.

Zea POV

He's really unstoppable when he made decisions. Wala na akong magagawa pa kundi pumayag sa ganitong set-up. Para din naman 'to sa ikabubuti ng anak namin. Besides hindi naman kami mamumuhay like husband and wife. We just want to have Nathan a happy and complete family even if its not. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan kami magiging ganito. Hindi ko alam kung magiging okay ba talaga kami. Ang plano kung magpa-annul ng kasal ay hindi pa nga nauumpisahan.

When I looked at the whole masters bedroom ay halos nagbago lahat ng kulay at disenyo. Siguro sa mahigit apat na taon marami ng nagbago sa pamamahay na ito. Maganda parin naman pero wala na ang dating kasiglahan at kasiyahan. The aura was dull behind those colorful curtains and light ceiling of the whole entire room.

I walked out to the room to scan around the mansions and I saw him with the Nathan on wide and spacious living room.

"Mom. Come join us with Dad. Were playing snake ladder."

Ngumiti ako Kay Nathan remembering those time together with his father nung kami pa lang dalawa sa pamamahay na ito. We always played snake ladder for killing time and boredom.

"Sige."

So I join to them pretending that were okay in front of our son. Lage siyang nakatingin sa akin at naiilang ako sa pakiramdam na may ibang kahulugan ang mga tinging yon.

"Yehey I won! I won!"

Masayang nagtatalon talon si Nathan nang marating nito ang tuktok ng laro. We both claps our hands cheering for him.

"I dare you Dad to kiss Mom!"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Nathaniel sa hamon ng anak. He smiled secretly at my view. Namula naman ang pisngi ko sa pakiramdam na maghahalikan kami. Naalala ko tuloy nang may mangyari sa amin nung mga nakaraang linggo. That passionate making love was so ecstatic to think about. That time I suddenly missed out that weren't okay and I was hunger for her love. And I'm always tempted with that desires of him.

Then he dipped down his head towards me for a kiss. And I close my eyes waiting for his lips to land on me and it did. That was a peck kiss, still the familiar of its tingling sensations brought back. Andun pa din ang excitement. Nothing's change.

After that, we spend another time of funny games until we got tired and decided to have dinner.

"Daddy I love shrimps. Sabi ni Mommy love nyo daw po yong dish."

He spoke to his Dad. Nagluluto ako dito sa kusina at sila panay ang pangungulit. Patapos na ako sa afritada dish dahil yon ang parehas na gusto nilang kainin ngayong dinner.

"Really? Namana mo pati mga hilig ni Daddy hah? Don't you know that your Mom is allergic with shrimp!"

They're talking as if I wasn't exist here. Natatawa lang ako sa kakulitan ni Nathan. He's asking a lot of things about his Dad and those boys-thingy-things or whatsoever. Jamie was amusingly answering everything he asks.

"Really? What's allergic Dad? Is it bad for Mom?"

I chuckled softly upon hearing that concern question of him. I am now imagining their amuse faces. Nakatalikod kasi ako sa bahagi ng mesa kung saan sila nag-uusap. Napapangiti lang ako all the while.

"Yeah. Its when she feels itchy, her face will get red and find hard to breathe."

"Really? But she never told me about that. But its masarap Dad! How Mommy have that sickness?"

Tumawa ng malakas ang ama sa mga matured and innocent interest nito.

"Enough boys. Dinner is ready. Nathan arrange the table. Diba I already thought you how to do it na?"

Nakangiti kong bungad sa kanila whilst taking chance to arrange the dish on the table. Masigla itong sumang-ayon sa sinabi ko at magiliw itong kumuha ng mga placemat. Masayang namang tumutulong ang asawa ko sa pag-aayos.

But I was avoiding his eyes every time na nagtatama ito.

Everything was set into place. And were happy taking our dinner together. It feels home and delightful. Pakiramdam ko buo ang pamilya ko na walang bahid na pag-aalala at balakid sa aming pagsasama. Ang pinakamahalaga ay masaya ang anak ko sa nangyayari ngayon.

Kalimutan muna ang problema. This time, this is ours. Me, my husband and our cute little kid.

Bahala na sa mga susunod na araw.
