"PRIVATE resort niyo to?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko sa kanya. Papunta kami ngayon ni Miguel sa magiging cottage namin ni Cibrina.
Sina Cibrina ay nasa likod lang namin sila at naglalampungan. Yes po, naglalampungan po sila. Pero tabi kami ni Cibrina na matulog ngayon dahil pinilit ko siya.
"Yes, my dad build this resort for my mom so that they can spend their time together, away from the city and away from work." Paliwanag niya.
Magkahawak ang aming mga kamay habang naglalakad dahil ayaw niyang bitawan ang kamay ko.
"Wow, your dad is amazing." I said and stared at the water. It's amazing to see this kind of view and I want to cherish every second I spend in this place.
"Yes he is and that's why I want to be like him. A perfect husband for his one and only wife." He answered and pulled me closer to him. He wrapped his hands around my waist.
"A perfect husband..." Bulong ko sa sarili ko.
Will I able to meet someone like that?
But come to think of it, I don't want to have a perfect husband. I just want someone who will stay with me. Someone who will help me to overcome my pain. Someone who can protect me from my mother.
Aanhin ko ang 'Perfect Husband' if he can't even understand my pain and my past?
And with that, my tears unconsciously fall down.
"Are you alright? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me?" At hinarap ako ni Miguel sa kanya at pinupunasan ang mga luha ko.
"Nothing." Mahinang sagot ko at umiiling.
"Then why are you crying?" Tanong niyang muli. "Napuwing lang ako."
"Nandito na pala tayo." Pagiiba ko ng usapan para itigil niya na ang pagtatanong kung bakit ako lumuha. Bumitaw ako sa kanya at pumunta sa harap ng pintuan ng cottage namin.
"I better rest first. Medyo inaantok pa ako. I'll catch you up later." Sabi ko kay Miguel.
Pero bago ako tuluyang nakapasok sa loob, may humila sa kamay ko at bumulong. "Haihai, there is definitely something wrong with my baby kaya sasamahan ko siyang matulog. Baka hindi to makatulog kapag hindi ko dinamayan. Si Kuya na ang bahala sayo basta no sex before marriage ah. Kahit kuya ko yan, pepektusan ko siya kapag may ginawa siya sayo."
Halos mabulunan ako sa sinabi niya. Kinurot ko ang tagiliran niya dahil sa sinabi niya. "Maghohoneymoon na kami ni Boss para wala ng katakas saakin to." Aba't dinagdagan pa.
"Witch naman. Akala ko ba no sex before marriage? Bakit inuuna mo na ang honeymoon niyo?" Ito talaga ang rupok pagdating sa boss namin. Konti nalang bibingo na talaga to saakin.
"Inaadvance na namin kasi kapag kinasal kami, baka hindi na kami magkatime para magkahoneymoon. Pero ikaw, hindi ka pa pwede kasi hindi ka pa ready. Naiintindihan mo ba?" May point naman siya. Hindi pa ako ready para sa mga ganyan.
"I understood. Pero please wag mong siyang hayaan na magiwan siya ng mark sa katawan mo lalo na sa neck mo..." At nilapit ko ang bibig ko sa kanyang tenga.
"Special day mo pa naman bukas diba?" Bulong ko sa kanya. "Okay. Noted yan." She said and chuckled as she head out.
"Don't forget our dinner at 8pm." Sabi ni Miguel kina Cibrina at Boss namin.
"See you later, Haihai~" Cibrina said at umalis na sila.
Umupo ako sa sofa at pinahinga ang likod ko sa sandalan. Si Miguel naman, nakasandal lang siya sa pader at pinapanood akong magpahinga. I released a deep sighed before signalling him to seat with me.
He gladly obliged me and sat beside me. "I will let you to hold me dahil dinala mo sa lugar na to but only for today." Sabi ko sa kanya na ikinangiti naman niya.
"Then thank you for allowing me to hold you, my love." He said and slowly walking towards me. Pero imbes na umupo siya sa tabi ko, bigla niya akong binuhat, a princess hug.
At naglakad na ito papunta sa isang pinto. Binuksan niya ang pinto gamit ang isang kamay niya at pumasok kami. It's a room with a king size bed.
Dahan dahan niya akong inihiga sa kama at inayos ang blanket. "Sleep." He said at lumapit siya sa inverter na aircon.
"I can't sleep." At tinignan siya. I really can't sleep. My mind is kinda excited right now and I don't know why. Maybe because of the view or because I'm alone with Miguel.
My mind is always excited when I'm alone with Miguel because I might embarrassed myself again in front of Miguel.
"Are you sure about that?" Tanong niya at naglakad na siya palapit saakit at umupo ito sa gilid ng kama. "Yes." Sagot ko sa kanya.
Bigla niyang tinaas ang blanket at pumasok at humiga katabi ko. Bigla niyang hinila ang katawan ko palapit sa kanya at nilagay ang ulo ko sa dibdib niya. "I heard from someone that when you rested your head to someone's chest and hear the heartbeat, it will make you relax."
"Really? Sino nagsabi niyan? Iniscam ka ata eh?" Pabirong wika ko sa kanya at pinikit ang mata ko.
I can clearly hear his heartbeat and I think it's making me relax and sleepy. I can also feel his breathing with made me more sleepy.
"My father said that and I think it's effective because you're getting sleepy, right?" He said and lifted my chin so I can face him.
"Yes, it's effective and I'm getting scared of this method." At tinanggal ang kamay niya sa baba ko para makaiwas ng tingin.
"Why?" Tanong niya.
"I might get used to this." Mahinang sagot ko at yumuko.
"Then I'll do it for you." Napatingin akong muli sa sinabi niya. Alam ba niya ang sinasabi niyan.
"You sure about that? Baka iwanan mo rin ako bandang huli niyan." Lalo na kapag nalaman niya na ang meron sa buhay ko.
"Who knows? Maybe, I'll be the one who'll wait for you as you walk at the aisle wearing your dream gown." And chuckled. Napatingin ako sa sinabi niya.
"Stop joking like that. Baka umasa ako."
"Don't worry, I'll keep you by my side at the rest of your life kaya pwede kang umasa."
And my lips parted.
