Wedding

Maaga palang ay sinundo na ako ni Thorn sa bahay. Kasal na ni Dria bukas were flying to the Maldives today. Isa ako sa bridesmaid, sila mom invited rin pero susunod sila bukas ng umaga because of daddy's meeting with the foreign investors.

Her wedding will happen before sunset so surely makaka abot pa sila.

I sat near the window while Thorn is in front of me. Esaia got us an exclusive jet. Enzo was with us and some unfamiliar faces.

Sa buong oras natulog lang ako. Thorn was assisting me when I fall asleep. Kahit na noong nakarating kami sa Maldives natulog ako ng makarating sa aming cottage. Thorn wake me up for the rehearsal.

Umopo ako sa bakanteng upoan ng mag break na. A woman sat beside me and touch my wrist.

"Why aren't you socializing with the young ones?" She asked.

"I'm not in the mood po kasi, mas gusto ko pang matulog."

She smiled.

"When I was pregnant with my first son, I have awful symptoms of pregnancy..."

"Masakit po bang manganak?"

"Sobra, bogbog sirado nga ang aking asawa sa akin, makakatanggap kasi siya ng suntok pag titigil sa paghilot sa aking balakang."

Natawa ako.

"Ano pong reaksyon niya?"

"Mas kinabahan pa sa akin. Aligaga hindi alam ang gagawin."

I imagine Thorn in that situation. His nervous face, his calculated moves will vanish, mangiging aligaga rin kaya siya. I giggled silently at the thought.

Umalis si Lola upang magpahinga. Si Thorn ay lumapit sa akin mula sa kanyang mga pinsan.

"Let's swim?"

Humikab ako.

"Can we rest? I want to cuddle with you..."

Nilingon niya ang mga pinsan niyang tinawag siya he shook his head before turning back to face me.

"Let's rest, then..."

Tumayo ako at inakay siya patungo sa room namin.

Hinapit niya ang aking bewang at bumolong.

"The baby wants to sleep..."

Tiningala ko siya. I misunderstood his statement I pinch his abs.

"Thorn, I'm not pregnant..."

He look at me amused.

"Dalhia, you are my baby..."

Nag iwas ako ng tingin nang mag init ang aking pisngi. Tinulak ko siya at naunang naglakad. Narinig ko ang mahinang pag halakhak nito.

Ng makita ang kama agad akong lumundag at niyakap ang unan. Thorn went inside the second ma before me. He lay down beside me and wrap me in between his arms. I struggle closer to his body until I fell asleep.

Nagising akong wala si Thorn sa aking tabi. Nakita ko siya nasa bintana msy katawagan.

"She's sleeping..."saad nito.

He said something on the phone but I didn't hear it. Umopo ako at nakita ang oras. It's past six-thirty. Nilingon ako ni Thorn, agad niyang pinatay ang tawag at nilapitan ako.

"Did I wake you up?" he asked softly.

Umiling ako.

"Sino ang tumawag?"
