Right Here Waiting

Pigtail

Kiefer

Mika is 4 months on the way. And im really looking forward for the next 5 months. Now, nababawasan na her morning sickness and her cravings hindi na masyado madalas. But her unusual habits nanaman are bugging me.

Flashback

Dumating ako galing practice and manang said she was in our room daw nagpapahinga na. I didn't even bother disturbing her, pagod siguro. Kahit naman nadito lang sa bahay si Mika napapagod din yun kakain, kakanood nang tv. I was eating at the dining and Manang accompanied me.

"Kief, nandito sina Nice kanina"

"Talaga po?"

"Oo, sabi nga sakin ni Tin, pinatawag daw sila nang dyosa mong asawa. Nabobored daw e"

"That's good manang. Im busy kasi this past few weeks, hindi ko na siya nalalabas to ease her boredom"

"Ikaw kasing bata ka, pinapagod mo masyado ang sarili mo. Hinay hinay lang anak. Baka magkasakit ka niyan" Manang really is our motherly figure here in our little home. Kaya nga, kinuha ko siya talaga samin eh.

" Alam mo naman manang diba, I want to give everything to my wife. Especially now na we are having our baby na"

" Ikaw talaga, 17 ka pa lang ata milyonaryo ka na eh. Di magugustuhan ni Miks na pinapagod mo sarili mo. Alam mo din naman ang batang yun, gusto lahat simple lang. Kahit ang pamumuhay, okay na siya sa isang sasakyan lang eh"

"Kaya nga mahal ko yun Manang eh. Iba siya sa mga babae na naging karelasyon ko. Simple is grand para sa kanya"

"O siya, tapusin mo na yang pagkain mo at ilapag mo nalang ang kinainan mo diyan sa lababo, at magpapahinga na ko" Manang bids goodbye at pumunta na sa room niya which is few blocks away from the kitchen.

"Goodnight manang" I said lastly.

Nung binuksan ko ang pinto nang kwarto namin, I found Mika busy looking for something,

"My, akala ko nagpapahinga na kayo ni baby?" I kissed her temple and caress her little bump.

"Eehh, hinihintay ka po namin eh" she hugged me.

"Ano ba yang hinahanap mo?" I asked.

"Basta, basta"

Pinabayaan ko nalang siya. I made my way to our closet, and change my clothes in my sleepwear.

"Yay! Here it is" she gleamed.

Timing naman na nakalabas na ko nang walk in closet and pinaandar ang tv.

"Dy, sit here plith" pointing to the carpeted floor of our room

"Bakit po?" I combed her hair using my fingers.

"Basta, please daddy" Ano pa bang magagawa ko, submisive po ako sa asawa kong buntis.

I sat on the floor, browsing some sports channel to see updates.

"My, san ka pupunta?" I asked as she was about to make her way to our walk in.

"May kukunin lang sa dresser ko" she said.

Nung bumalik, she's holding a comb and colorful rubberbands in her hand. But I didn't bother to ask kung san niya gagamitin.

She sat to the edge of the bed and cross sit. Combing my hair, nakakarelax to. But now, nararamdaman kong she tie my hair using those bands.

"My, anong ginagawa mo?" I asked.

She giggling " Im tying your hair po. Hihihi! Cute mo po"

"My naman, ginagawa mo po akong bading" sabi ko.

"No po daddy" she's still busy doing her thing on my hair. Pinabayaan ko nalang. Few minutes after,

" taarrraaan!" She showed me my face in the mirror.

"Diba bagay kay daddy baby?" She asked our little angel while she caress her tummy. Ancute niya pag ganyan.

"What do you call this my huh? I asked.

"Ponytail po daddy, next time pigtail naman"

Present

See how my wife evolve, and her habits do bother me sometimes. Minsan nga I think na babae magiging anak namin eh. She's not girly as everbody knows, she likes neutrals, black and white specifically, but now she's into yellow, pink stuffs. Ang weird talaga nang mga buntis.

Kakagising ko lang from our siesta, and she's hugging me kaya hindi pa ako makaalis sa posisyon namin. She's burying her head on my armpit, she feels secure daw pag ganyan. My silly wife and her acts talaga. I kissed her temple. And since I have my free hands, I grab the remote and pinaandar ang tv after I put my hands behind my head. My baby is snoring pa. Mamaya pa to gigising. I kept myself busy.

After almost 30 minutes, she woke up na din,

"Goodafternoon daddy" she greeted and gave me a peck.

"Goodafternoon mommy, and baby liit" I kissed her and her tummy tapos bumalik na posisyon ko.

"Are you hungry na my?" I asked.

"Not pa naman po dy, let's stay like this muna" then siniksik niya naman ang head niya sa armpit ko.

We are watching a movie when suddenly I felt her doing something on my armpit.

"My, ano nanaman ginagawa mo?" I asked her curiously

"Huwag kang malikot dy, im busy" She's combing lang naman my underarm hair and tie it again with her colorful bands. And she giggles while doing it.

"My naman eh" I pouted.

"Baby oh, ayaw tayong pagbigyan ni Daddy mo" she said, nagsusumbomg sa magiging anak namin.

"Fine fine my"

She did the same on the othee, nakadagan pa talaga while doing it with my right underarm.

"Tarrann!" She blissfully smiled and clapped her hands.

"And what do you call naman this my?" I asked. Sabayan ko nalang ang mga trip nang mag ina ko.

"This is what you call pigtail daddy, ganda diba?" She laughs.

She's at my left side, I hugged her and said

"My, minsan napapaisip ako"

"Bout what?"

"Nababae magiging anak natin"

"Paano mo naman nasasabi yan?"

"Youre habits are manifestations you know" I smiled.

"But whatever gender our baby will have. I will love her or him in the best way that I can"

"I love you dy" she uttered.

"I love you more my" I replied.

We are now busy watching a movie again when I whispered something into her ears.

"My, pag babae yan, hihirit ako nang lalaki ha, ayaw ko naman walang magmamana nang appeal nang Ravena" then I laughed.

She just punch my biceps nang mahina, and again concentrate to what we are watching.
