"Baby..." I whispered at her nang tumigil na ang sasakyan sa mismong condo ko. "Love, open your eyes. We're here,"

I tried not laughing when she just snorted at me in reply. I have no choice but to carry her again. Kusa na akong bumaba at tinignan muna ang relo bago pumunta sa kabilang parte ng sasakyan.

As I opened the car door, I was about to remove the seatbelt when she harshly pulled me.

"S-sino ka?" Medyo mabagal niyang tugon habang nakapikit. "W-wag, p-please."

"It's me, Julian. Lasing ka na, Twinkle." Saad ko sa mababang tono at akmang bubuhatin na siya nang bigla na naman siyang nagpumiglas.

"W-wait." Bahagyang dumilat ang kaniyang mga mata pero mukhang inaantok na talaga siya. "S-si G-Ga lang g-gusto ko...humawak s-sa'kin..."

"It's me, Ga." Lumambot ang expresyon ko sa sinabi niya. "I'm here, you don't need to worry. You'll rest now, okay?"

"Owwwkkiiee." Mahaba niyang tugon at kusa nang ibinuka ang kaniyang mga braso upang buhatin ko siya. "May shashabihin, a-ahko. P-pero secret lang n-natin 'to ah,"

"Ano 'yon?" Nakisakay nalang ako sa kaniya dahil ginamit niya pa ang hintuturo para patahimikin ako pati ang kaniyang sariling bunganga niya.

I don't know she'll be cuter when she's drunk. I just remembered every details she told me way back when we walked down onto our street while having late night talks.

She burped lightly three times until she opened her eyes again and pouted at me while having this mad bunny expression.

Nagulat ako nang bigla siyang sumigaw ng malakas.

"I lab youu! You lab me! We are one big family—"

Kaagad kong tinakpan ang kaniyang bunganga kahit pilit niya itong tinatanggal at patuloy pa rin sa pagkanta. May mga estrangherong napapatingin sa'min tuwing dumadaan sila. I gave them small smile when they looked at me curiously like I'm harassing her.

"Sorry, my wife is just drunk." I explained and showered her kisses on her forehead before pulling her for a hug to carry her. "I'm gonna carry her home now."

They smiled back about what I said. Some even tried to take pictures because of our 'sweet moment' but I refused to expose Twinkle's face on social media. I hate men flocking around her simple picture.

I carried her in a bridal style and locked my car. Pumasok na'ko sa building at kita ko namang nagulat si Manong guard.

"Good evening, b-boss." Saad niya habang nakatungo at tumango lang ako sa kaniya.

Dumiretso na'ko sa may counter desk at kita ko namang nagulantang iyong assistant doon na nagmamanage ng mga bisita na pumapasok dito sa mismong building na'to.

"She's Twinkle Milan, she will stay in my condo unit already. Can you give me a duplicate key in my unit just in case?" Tanong ko at mabuti na lang kaagad niya itong binigay.

Masyado namang malaki iyong ginawa kong condo and it have many rooms and divisions as well, kaya sa tingin ko magiging ayos na sa'kin na siya tumira.

Saktong palapit na'ko sa may elevator nang biglang bumukas ito at nakita ko si Juliette. Napalitan ng gulat ang kaniyang kaninang walang reaksiyong mukha.
