Were now back home.
I texted Uncle Martin at nagpaalam na di na ko makakabalik today sa house Rep.
'Satisfied?' tanong ko sakanya habang naglalakad kami papasok ng bahay.
'Yes, so much. Thank you love.' she said and smiles to me.
Atleast, she's happy, also her tummy.
We entered the house and see new faces.
Eto na ata yung mga new kasambahays.
'Di'ba, buti nalang pinadamihan ko yung empanada.' bulong ng asawa ko.
They greeted us.
"Goodmorning, Ma'am, Ser.'
All of them seems 30's.
They're 5, all of them are Female.
'Nalibot na po namin sila bahay.' Manong roberto said.
'Miryenda po, para sainyo.' ngiti ko sakanila sabay abot kay Manong berto yung plastic of empanada.
'Love, i'll just rest in our.' bulong ng asawa ko behind me.
'sunod ako.' i said.
She left me here.
'Sige po manong, kayo na po muna bahala sakanila.' as i Tapped his back.
I was about to walk on the stairs when i see manang hermie.
'Manang...' as i approached hed.
'Aga mo, kasama mo asawa mo?' she asked.
'Opo, nasa taaa na.' i said.
'Manang...'
'Is that normal?' i asked.
'Ang ano?' she said.
'Ang dami niyang kinakain.' i said.
Tinawanan naman ako ni manang.
'Why?...' i said.
'Umpisa palang yan, marami pang pagpapasensya'ng gagawin mo.' she said...
.
.
.
.
I woke up midnight, i feel her foor bang on my tummy.
'Love sorry..' she said and quickly make bawi by paghaplos ng pisngi ko.
'Sorry sorry.' she said and fix my hair.
'Tulog ka na.' she said..
Im really sleepy.
I don't know what to react, natulog nalang ulit ako.
An hour i think is passed, nagising ulit ako.
Her foot's already on my cheek.
I carely moved it away for a while and i stood up.
I just stared at her, humihilik pa.
I found my self smiling for nothing.
Maybe this is it, the feeling of soon to be Daddy.
I approached her at binuhat siya.
I fix her position at kinumutan na rin siya.
I fix her hair and kissed her forehead.
I also kissed the One of her, her tum, our baby.
Can't wait to Carry you and your mom..
.
.
.
.
A months Passed, kami kami parin lang ang may alam.
The people of the house, our Family, and that Vice Gov palang.
And My wife's tummy's getting bigger.
'Love, are you sure kaya mong magtrabaho?' i asked her while im driving.
'Love you're over reacting, my tum's look like tumaba palang naman, it's not that big pa naman.' tawa niya.
Baka you're forgetting it, dalawa ka na ngayon, if you get tired, our baby will get tired too, if you get stressed, siy—
'Love... I can.' as she stopped me.
Wala naman akong magagawa,
I just nod my head and focus driving.
.
.
.
.
I kissed her.
'Call me if you need anything.' i simply.
'Opo...' she said with her raised eyebrows.
'Ingat ka nagdrive.' as her bye to me.
.
.
.
.
Im now in my chair, in the house rep.
Again, lunch time.
Im just texting her 'cause don't have time naman to kamusta her during my work hours dahil ang daming ginagawa.
After she replied that She's okay, i called her nalang.
'Love, i said im fine.' tawa niya agad.
'Why dont you believe me ba?' she said.
'If i called you means kinakamusta lang kita to you, then you're mistaken. Di ba pwedeng i just want to hear your voice?' bola ko sakanya.
'Tigilan mo'ko Congressman ng 1st district.' tawa niya.
'What are you doing now?' i asked.
'Talking to you, isn't obvious?' she said.
Pilosopo.
'Ganyan ka na ngayon?' i said.
She laughed.
'Im talking to you naman ah.' she said.
'Okay..' i said.
'Sige na nga, eating lunch na when you called.' she said.
'sino?' i said.
'me, of course.' she said.
'Who's asking.' asar ko sakanya.
'So ganyan?' she said.
'You started it Mrs. Marcos.' tawa ko sakanya.
'What if palitan ko nalang ulit yung name ko dito sa office ng
"Franze Jillianne Reyes"? Mas bagay.' she said.
'So ganyan talaga?' i said.
'Ginantihan mo Mr. Marcos.' as she laughs.
Napailing nalang ako.
Speaking of it, Finally, her name there is placed to Reyes-Marcos na.
Ewan ko nalang if some guy went there, makipag usap pa sakanya like they're flirting.
But the Rings, we'll get it in two days pa.
After we talked, i ate lunch na and be back to work.
Jillianne ' s Pov.
'Come in.' i said as i heard a knock on my office' door.
It's Angelo.
Tinaasan ko lang siya nang dalawang kilay to ask.
'Just need your Signature, Ma'am ' ngiti niya.
He held the papers.
I get it and checks it.
'Wow, Reyes Marcos na.' bulong niya.
'Yeah, It finally came yesterday.' tawa ko sakanya.
This is Good, para alam na ni Kap. Miguel na—
'You're again teasing me to that guy ah.' i said.
'Of course not.' tawa niya.
I haven't talk to Miguel about Sandro and i yet, and i think wala namang problema about it
'It's just that if Miguel see this, he should avoid being here Alway than his Baranggay.' he said.
'Grabe, Mabait naman yun tao.' as i defend him.
Miguel's such a good young Kapitan.
I see his performance, he's nice.
'Are you really sure you wouldn't tell this to your Husband?' he asked.
'For what?' i said whili finishing the paper im checking.
'Baka magselos lang yun.' i added.
Exactly Ma'am, wag mo n—
'Angelo stop calling me Ma'am, how many times i've to tell you? We're friends.' tawa ko sakanya.
He rolled his eyes.
Ps, he's not a gay, talagang he just know how to vibe.
'Okay, Jillianne. If he knew that that Kapitan's making a way to be close to you, mas lalo kayong mag aaway.' he said.
'He's not making diskarte naman.' as i Deny.
'Yes he is.' he said.
'Fine. Im already married, tsaka di ko naman siya type, he's too young for me.' i said.
'Finish that papers na, i need it now, naghihintay na si Heart sa office ko.' pagmamadali niya sakin.
'Heart?' i said sabay tingin sakanya with my pang asar eyebrows.
'My.... Secretary.' he said.
'Heart?' i said.
'oo nga..' he said.
'Your.... heart's beat?' asar ko sakanya.
He laughed.
'Corny..' he said.
Of course, mana sa asawa to.
I held the papers back to him and left the office.
A minute passed, nahilo ako bigla.
Maybe because of the temperature.
I take some free breaths and try to call manong Roberto para magpasundo na.
I feel so tired too already.
Sandro's Pov.
It was around 4pm when i see manang hermie's message.
"Nandito na sa bahay asawa mo, nahilo raw kaya maaga umuwi.'
Since then, I can't focus here in work.
'Is she okay now?' as i texted Manang.
A second passed, she replied.
'Oo, nakakapagtrabaho na siya sa laptop niya eh.'
Nako, kaya nga umuwi galing trabaho kasi nahihilo, tapos magtatrabaho oarin pagdating sa bahay.
'Ok, just tell me if she need anything. if she's craving, itext niyo po sakin, i'll buy after my work.' reply ko sakanya.
'Kanina, nagtatanong siya sakin kung may apple mango raw na stock. Baka apple mango.' she replied
'Also, wag mo kalimutan ang ginisang bagoong, yun ang kapareho nun.' she added.
I off my phone and focus on work.
But i really cant.
I simply approach uncle Martin and said mh excuse.
I left the house of the representative and drive on the public market to find Apple mango's.
I took so long to find it and the Bagoong.
After that, dumaan na rin ako sa flower shop.
I buy her a bouquet of sunflower.
Sunflower suits her now, tumatanda na eh.
I didn't call anyone in the house na pauwi na ako, i'll just her.
It's already 5pm nung napark ko yung sasakyan sa loob.
I entered the house with the flowers and mango's.
Nakasalubong ko si Manang.
'Ang Aga mo.' she said.
'Opo, hatid ko lang po 'to kay Jillianne.' ngiti ko sakanya.
I was about to step on the staircase when she speaks.
'Wala siya.' she said.
What? I thought she's...
'San po siya pumunta?' i asked.
'Nagpacheck up daw.' she said.
She didn't even told me.
Jillianne 's Pov.
'according to the result, sinabayan lang ng init kaya ka nahilo.' the dra said.
'So, how's my Baby?' as i worry.
'It's healthy, and don't worry, it's normal to feel that hilo when you're pregnant.'
'Just don't forget to relax, and don't stress yourself to maintain your baby's health.'
"We Can do ultrasound na if you want to see your Baby.'
I left my Dra's lab at lumabas na ng hospital.
I was about to call manong Berto para magpasundo but i forgot that i forgot my phone in my office earlier.
Suddenly, a beep of a car i heard infront of me.
It's Sandro's Car.
Dinoble check ko pa if that's him, but why he's here.
He beep again.
.
.
.
He's now driving.
'Love..' tawa ko sakanya.
'What.' he deeply said.
I forgot what i'll sayd.
A second passed,
'Im calling you, you're not answering.' he said.
'Yan, that's what i'll say. Daan tayo saglit sa office, i forgot my phone.' i said.
He just stays silent at hindi ako sinagot.
Nagtampo na.
Of course my phone's not on me, pano ko siya masasagot.
He stopped infront of the Capitol.
I waited him to open me a door as he always do but nothings happen.
'Dito ka nalang?' i asked.
He ignores me.
'Hintayin mo nalang ako dito, mabilis lang promise.' i said and got out of his Car.
Mabilis akong naglakad to enter the capitol , nabunggo ko pa si Angelo.
'Uy sorry..' i said and help him to get the paper na nahulog sa floor.
I held it to him and see someone's with him pala.
Maybe this is the Heart's beat of Him.
Omg.
She looks cute.
'Hello..' i sweetly said.
She looks like a Disney Princess.
Fresh and bright.
'Heart Firmerio.' as she held her hand.
"Jillianne" i said and shake her hands with my two hands.
I can smile with all my teeth by just looking at her.
Paglilihian pa yung Secretary k—
'Shhhh.' paglaki ko nang mata kay Angelo.
'May date kayo?' nakangiti kong taong kay Heart.
'Ah hindi apo, nagpapasama lang si Sir na ibigay yung papers sa mga brgy officials.' she said.
Abah, pumaparaan Angelo Ventura..
I see Angelo faising me a eyebrows with wider eyes.
'Ah... Sige na, i'll just get something sa office ko.' as i said my goodbye to them.
'Bye, Heart, i'll see you next time.' i said.
'Finally.' bulong ni Angelo.
I hit his shoulder and left them na.
Papasok na ko ng office when i see Kap. Miguel leaving it.
'Miguel?' as i noticed him.
'O there you are.' lingon niya sakin.
He approached me and held something.
It's my phone.
'Thanks.' as i get it.
'Why you're here...?' i simply asked.
'Im calling you, you're not answering. You're secretary 's not here naman daw, i tried to call you and i heard it ringing inside your office.' as he explained.
I just nod my head.
'Coffee?' he asked.
'No.' i said and i heard an echo.
It was Sandro's voice who also said no.
I see him behind me.
'You get it?' he asked.
I Showed my phone to him.
'Then let's go.' he said.
I feel his hand on my Back.
'We'll go ahead.' as my bye to Miguel.
He gently care my shoulder while walking but firm.
.
.
.
'What's that Miguel doing there?' kunot noo niyang tanong while driving.
'I don't know, naabutan ko nalang nandun.' i said.
'Is that took you do long?' he said.
I laughed.
'No, it's was Angelo.' i said.
'You know, he has a Secretary who's so lovely and pretty. Crush na crush niya.' as i shared to him.
'Diba kapitan lang yung Miguel? Then why it seems lagi siyang pumupunta don?' he ask.
'Love, are you jelous again?' tawa ko sakanya.
'Stop teasing me, you know what am i going through.' he said.
I just stop talking to him.
Sumumpong na din yung kilay kong salubong.
.
.
.
.
We arrived in home not talking.
It's 5;40pm already.
Nagkita na kayo ng asawa—
'Kasama ko po.' ngiti ko sakanya kay manang.
'Tanungin niyo nalang po siya kung gusto niyang magmiryenda, pumunta po muna ako sa kwarto.' i said before i left her.
Sandro's Pov.
I straightly take a sit in our sala first.
Im so annoyed.
I don't know why that kapitan's going there in my wife's work.
He's just a Kapitan, if he needs something to say, sa secretary or lower employee muna dapat siya dumidiretso, But no.
Don't Let me just caught him talking to my wife wrong...
I get my phone and check some works, i've wasted a time for nothing.
'Alexander..' suddenly manang called me.
'Hm manang, yung mga employado po kamusta? I asked while im still on phone.
'Mabuti, kayong mag asawa? Nag away kayo?' she asked.
"Hindi po.' i simply said.
Baka mamaya pa lang.
'Asan po pala dumiretso?' i said.
'Nagpapalit na siguro nang damit.' she said and
Suddenly, we heard some footsteps on the staircase.
Pababa na siya.
I act like i didn't see her and focus on my phone.
'Manang, pwede pong pakisamahan ako sa mga employado? I want to know them.'
They left me here in sala.
I sighed..
Wala man lang balak mag apologize.
I stood up and move in our room.
I take a fresh enough and lay on our bed.
Im just wondering, hindi pa kaya niya nakikita yung flowers and plastic of Mango's sa study chair dito sa room?
Maybe not yet, di pa niya ako kinakausap eh.
And, i want her to apologize muna.
Duh, i need to be like this sometimes.
A minutes passed feels like an hour alone here.
Ang tagal naman niyang pumasok dito.
Kanina pa ako nagmumukmok but she still not noticing me.
Tsk.
I stood up and left our room.
I see her in the kitchen with manang.
I walk on the stairs and she noticed me.
'O love, natulag ka?' she said.
Wow, how can she act like nothings happening.
I ignored her and stay in the sala.
I just watches some old movies.
Suddenly she sit besides me.
Pasimple naman akong dumusog palayo.
'What's that movie? ' she simply Ask.
'Oldies? Like you?' she said.
Nag aasar pa.
'Uy, can you here me?'
'Ferdinand Alexanduuurr, yuhoo.'
I look away and keeps igmoring her.
'Love naman, what's that? Mood swings?' she said.
Wow, ako pa may moodswings.
'Love...'
'Darling.. hey..' as she move her hand on my eye's view.
'Stop.' mataray kong sabi.
'wow you're talking?' she said.
I ignored her.
'Are you really not going to talk to me?' she said sabay pag taas sakin ng kilay.
Abah bahala ka diyan.
Ganyan ah, okay. You know about Miguel, he's so—
'Stop.' i deeply said.
Her kulit isn't funny anymore.
'Talk to me na kase, if you don't want then just talk to that movie your watching.' she said.
'Sungit mo!.' bulong niya.
'What are you expecting me to react? Umalis ako from work to spend time with you here pero wala naman ang nadatnan." I said.
'You didn't even told me na magpapacheck up ka.' i added.
'I just thought you're busy, di ko naman alam na uuwi ka...' she said.
'Sorry.' she finally said.
I simply stood up and went in our garden.
I smiled all minutes there.
Ang tagal magsorry!
Hooo, i survive being like that.i almost forgot na bunti nga pala siya.
Wait, buntis nga pala siya.
Her emotions changing too fast.
I take deep breath at pumasok na ulit sa loob ng bahay to face her.
I see her still in the kitchen but without manang Hermie.
She caught me looking at her.
'I cooking adobo, can you taste it?' she simply said.
Ayos, her mood seems okay pa.
I approached her and taste it.
'How's it?' he asked.
I just nod my head and smile.
'It tastes good, better than mine.' i said.
She just show sweet smiles to me.
'So... Let's eat? Gutom nako.' i said and simply touch her back.
'I'll just prepare this.' she said.
'Ako na, you'll get tired fast.' i said.
'No, i want to do this to make bawi about earlier.' she said.
So i let her.
Akala ko sasapakin na 'ko after ko siyang tirayan eh, buti nalang...
We ate together.
.
.
.
.
As the night goes.
8pm, im still here on sala checking some works.
While Jillianne, i told her na mauna na sa Room kaya she's already there for a Minutes.
I waited many more minutes bago ako sumunod.
I off my laptop and st it aside.
Nakita na naman siguro ni Jillianne yung flowers dun.
I went upstairs and go in our room.
I see her laying on our bed just using her phone.
When she caught me, she drop her phone beside me at tumalikod sakin.
I simply lay on our bed.
'Tatalikuran mo nalang ako?..' bulong ko sakanya.
'Diba galit ka.' she said.
'No, diba we talked about it na.' i said.
'Galit ka eh.' she said with her baby talk.
Seems her mood starting to swing.
'Sabagay, you didn't say thank you pa.' i simply said.
'Thank you? I said sorry.' she said and turned around on bed to face me.
I look on her chair para mapatingin rin siya.
I caught her looking at it.
'Aww thanks..' she said.
She was about to hug me pero tinalikuran ko siyang higa.
'Ay nagtatampo yung Mister ko.' as she tries to move my body paharap sakanya.
I see her by my eyeside looking at me.
'Ang pogi mo.' as she tap my cheek and fix my hair
Pumikit naman ako and i ignores her.
'Si Congressman nagpapalambing...' as she simply pinch my tummy.
She tickles me.
I laughed and stop her.
'You're so silly.' i said.
She just stares me with her smiley face.
'Ano? Napopogian ka parin sakin?' i said.
'you're so cute.' as she pinch my cheeks.
Naglilihi nga naman.
.
.
.
.
Jillianne 's Pov.
I woke up in the middle of the night.
Bigla akong nagising 'cause im hungry for unknown reason.
I was about to leave our bed pero nagising ko ata siya.
'Love...Why?...' he sleepy asked.
'Nagugutom ako, i'll just eat.' i simply said.
'Hm maybe there's still food na natira kanina sa niluto mo.' he said.
'Samahan kita?' he added.
'Ah no.. ako nalang.' i said.
'Wala kang kasama, manang's already sleeping, also the other employees.' he said.
I see him nagkukusot ng mata.
'Im okay love, just sleep there..' i said and hold his two shoulders para itulak siya pahiga ulit.
'Love okay lang, samahan kita.' pagpilit niya.
.
.
.
.
'Kain ka na.' he said and held the foods na ininit niya.
I smiled to him to thank him.
He made his coffee para naman daw sabayan ako kahit papano.
A second passed, nakakatatlong SUBO palang ako but i already stopped.
It TASTES BAD.
'What's wrong?' as he noticed me.
'Ang alat.' i simply said.
'I didn't add anything naman dun sa niluto niyang adobo, ininit ko lang.' he said.
'Hindi naman ah.' as he tasted the adobo.
He tasted it again at hindi naman daw talaga maalat.
'It's so good, not that matamis masyado and not that maalat.' he said.
But why i tasted it maalat.
Im really hungry, pero ayoko naman yung pagkain.
Napainom nalang ako nang tubig.
'Let's order nalang, ehat do you want?' he suddenly said.
I think, im craving for
"Sinigang.' i said.
Napatingin lang siya sakin ng madiin.
'That's not in Grab.' he said.
Napabuntong hininga ako and said
'let's just sleep.'
I smiled to him.
Itutulog ko nalang.
I stood up and held my hand to him.
'Tara na.' nakangiti kong aya.
'Alam ko na, just sit back there.' he said.
He stood up at dahan dahan akong pinaupo.
He walks away.
'I'll cook it nalang!...' he shoutly.
'Love wag na!.....' as i stopped him.
He left me here at sinundan ko naman siya.
He really cooked it.
Where can i found someone like him?
Nah no, he's one, only one.
(Teka lang, sinusumpong nanaman ako ng katamaran)
