Every Step Away

One of his arms is on me while the other is holding the spatula as he cooks. He knows that I don't want to eat canned foods without actually cooking it more kahit ready to eat pa. It doesn't good taste for me.

"Do you have plans today?" tanong niya saakin.

I nodded, still snuggling him.

"Making you go to work?" tanong ko.

He looked down on me and smirked.

"Try harder, babe."

I groaned.

"I'll be fine here. I'll just design your house."

"Then I'll supervise your planning."

Umirap ako. Makasurpervise ito! I doubt if he can understand what I am doing! Designing a house is very complex! Hindi lang yon plano kung anong magiging parte ng bahay! Of course, it includes even the smallest details in the house!

"Kapal! Naiintindihan mo ba ang ginagawa ko?"

"Yup, you're drawing a line, another line, and more lines."

Tumawa ako at inihiwalay ko ang aking mukha sa kanyang dibdib upang makita siya. His eyes are full of humor and he's smirking while looking at what he's cooking.

"Seriously? After all these years, that's what you think I'm doing?!"

"Isn't that?"

Oh my god! Bigla atang sumakit ang ulo ko! My precious degree and license! Hindi ko ma-imagine. A lot of people think we're taga-drawing and now, here is he thinking that what I am doing is just doing more lines!

"Are you looking down on my job, Mr. CEO?"

I heard him laughed a little.

"Nope. It's hard to draw a lot..."

"Of lines?" patuloy ko.

Ngumisi siya lalo. Hindi ko mapigilang matawa. He kissed my forehead while I'm laughing.

"You're not allowed to supervise me then!" I said to him, acting angry but failing because I cannot help but laugh.

"You can't make me go to work as long as you're clinging this tight on me..." he said.

Napanguso ako at napasin ko ang mahigpit kong yakap sa kanyang bewang. Napagtanto ko kung gaanon magkasalungat ang ginawa ko. I'm forcing him to go to work but I'm holding him tightly.

"Hindi ka ba kailangan sa trabaho?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"It's okay. Nandoon naman si Ate..."

Sumabay ako sa mga hakbang niyang ginagawa dahil hindi pa rin kaming naghihiwalay. He's refusing to let go of my waist too.

Naalala ko ang kanyang kapatid. Well, she's one of the last people I saw before I left two years ago.

"How is she?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Ayos lang. She's good. She's married already."

My jaw dropped. Oh! Really? I don't know a lot about her pero para single siya noong panahon na nakikipag coordinate ako sa kanya.

"That's... wow." tanging kumento ko.

Ang bilis naman ng panahon!

"She's pregnant too..."

Tumango ako at ngumiti sa kanya.

"You'll gonna be a tito! I cannot wait." I said to him while he's now busy cooking fried rice.
