The warmth of his love

NAKAUPO lang ako sa kulay itim na sofa dito sa bahay. I'm waiting for him to came home. Like a normal wife waiting for her husband to came home for a dinner.

Kanina ay kinapalan ko na ang aking mukha at pinaki-usapan si Patrice na iuwi ako rito sa bahay namin sa La Ilya.

And I thanked his kindness for driving me home.

The door opens. Niluwa no'n ang isang taong eksayted ko makita. Ang dahilan ng pag-uwi ko.

It is man in his mid-Twenties looking good at his White long sleeves and black pants and a pair of black shoes.

His eyes widen. "V-Vanya..." He looks surprise. Bahagya pang nakaawang ang bibig at gulat na gulat.

I feel my knees were shaking. Para akong napako sa aking kinauupuan at hindi makagalaw.

I smiles. I'm home, My home.

Tumayo ako at tinakbo ang pagitan namin. Yinakap ko ito at sumubsob sa kanyang dibdib. Naramdaman ko ang pagyakap nito pabalik.

Mahigpit ang yakap nito pero hinayaan ko lang, I love his warm hugs.

I love this feelings. The feeling of home.

No one feel likes home except for him.

He cupped my face. "Ba't hindi mo sinabi na uuwi ka? Dapat sinundo kita. Sino nag-hatid sa'yo?" He asked and looked at me. "Hush. Tell me, What's wrong, Baby?" He lifted my chin.

I suddenly remember what happened earlier. The scene in the restaurant, It feels the worst nightmare I ever had.

Parang nanikip ang aking dibdib at tila may nakabaon sa aking lalamunan.

My tears fall from my eyes. "I'm a-adopted..."

Ang mga bagay na mabilis na nakukuha ay mabilis ding mawawala, 'yan ang sabi ng iba.

When I was young, I am showered with love and care from my parents. In just one cry, I can have what I want.

Named it, Bags, Shoes, Jewelries, and other expensive thing I could have. I never heard a 'No' from them kaya siguro ako nasanay na walang humihindi sa akin at sumusuway.

I'm the only child kaya sobra-sobrang pagmamahal ang bunuhos sa akin. Sobrang Saya ko pa nga dahil do'n. I can get whatever I want.

I'm a spoiled kid. They let me became a brat, Iyon siguro ang naging problema sa kanila. Hidni nila ako pinapagalitan, Spoiled na spoiled ako.

"What?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito. "How did you know?"

"Tito and Mommy's having an a-affair" Humikbi lang ako sa kanyang dibdib habang yakap n'ya ako. "I...I just discovered it earlier."

"Hindi kita pipigilan umiyak, Just cry. Cry it all, Baby."

Oh,

This is my home, I can smile, laugh, even cry here. I can show my real me, What's inside of me, What's beating inside my heart, what I really want.

Ang tahanan ko.

Comfort and Care from your love ones really great help to ease your problems. Isang yakap lang na mahigpit, Sumasarap na agad ang pakiramdam.

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard

Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours

The stakes are high, the water's rough

But this love is ours

Nangingibabaw lang ang kanta Mula sa radio ng sasakyan na sinasakyan namin ni Adrien. He looks serious while driving.

Ang isang kamay nito ang pinangmamaneho samantala ang kabila ay hawak ng mahigpit ang aking kaliwang hita at pinipisil.

I looked at him and examine his face. What on earth I did on my past life to have this most precious Man I've seen in my entire life?

I'm lucky to have him And his lucky to have me. We are both lucky to have each other.

I believe that the most precious things in the world is not the money, A expensive car, a big House, nor fame but Love from your love ones.

And I've got my own Love. Nakuha ko na ang pinakamalaking blessing.

"Are you okay, my Bebu?" He gently asked as if he were talking to a kindergarten.

I nods. "Yeah, As long as you were here...I am okay. " I whispered.

I saw how her ears turn pink and he even bites his lower lip to force himself to not smile nor smirk. "Damn it." He said under his breath. "Tss, Do you wanna eat?" He asked, Changing the topic.

Kagabi ay iyak lang ako nang iyak habang kinukwento kay Adrien ang lahat, Nasa gitna ako ng mga hita n'ya habang nasa likod ko siya at nakayapos sa akin.

He just listen, Kisses my cheeks, and hugs me tight, Cheering me up. Medyo gumaan naman na ang loob ko but still, I still cannot accept that I am adopted and they having an affair.

Ang daming revelations, My mental health can't take that, Mabuti na lang at nand'yan si Adrien para damayan ako.

Tumango ako. "Let's drive thru to the Bee!" I giggles softly like a child excitedly waiting for my food.

He chuckles. "That's Jolibee, Baby" He pinched my cheek. "You're so cute,"

I pouted. "But my eyes we're puff, What's cute about it?"

He held my hand and bring it to his lips and gently kisses it. "Everything's cute about you, Every inch of you, The whole you. You are the prettiest, I love you, Baby." He praises me like I am a goddess he's worshipping.

I felt my heart just melts. Hindi pa naman ako nakakakain ng paru-paro pero bakit parang puno ng mga ito ang aking sistema?

Here he goes again, Tama bang magpakilig ng ganon? I'm not ready pa nga e! He is making my heartbeat goes crazy.

He pinched my hand. "C'mon, Say it, Say you love me too."

I looked at away, Acting like I didn't hear what he said. I secretly smiles when I saw him pouted. The big boy is sad and disappointed.

Napailing na lamang ako. Sonrang Arte talaga nito, He is so Extra.

He pinched my hand again, Bumagal din ang takbo ng sasakyan. "Ah!" He groans.

Napatingin ako sa kanya. Nanlaki naman ang aking mata nang makitang hawak nito ang kanyang dibdib.

"What happened?!" I spoke.

He pouted. "My heart hurts, I need your 'I love you', Baby. Please," he begs.

I rolled my eyes. "Akala ko naman kung ano na!" I said, Ang lakas pa din ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Akala ko kung ano na ang nangyari sa kanya.

I moaned when he hardly bites my hand. "Adrien!" Sigaw ko.

What the heck is he doing? That hurts! Kagatin ba naman.

He playfully grins at me. "You're a bad girl,"
