Last Encounter [SEQUEL-COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 29

Look at that girl, that's my wife. Hindi mapaglagyan ang ngiti ko saking mukha sa sobrang kagalakan. See that girl beside me is my world, how could I manage not to have her with me?

My phone suddenly ring that's why my thoughts interuppt. Slowly I took her head out on my arms that she pillowed and the jump out on the blanket that we shared and then erase the distance between me and her vanity to pick up my phone.

Napakunot ako nang makita ang numero ni mama kaya agad ko itong sinagot.

"Who the fuck are you?! Why my wife save your fucking number as baby?!"

Napakurap ako doon. Hindi ko alam kung anong dapat maramdaman ko na a tinaggal na araw ay ngayon ko lag uli narinug ang boses nya. I want to fucking blame him for everything, my life and all but I also remember what my mom's always remind me. It is my father after all.

"Now you wont speak huh? Ang lakas lakas mong pumatol sa baby ko!"

Napabuntong hininga ako at binaba ng tawag sabay hilot sa sintedo. Really? An AM calling just asking me why mom put 'baby' on my number? Ano sila teenager?

Dahil hinfi na ako makatulog doon ay lumabas nalang ako para mag yosi. I am not usually stick the ciggarette on my mouth it was just random if my insomia attacks me, but this time isnt insomia attacks me it was my anxiety.

It's definite.

"Hindi ko alam na nagssmoke ka?"

Napabaling ako sakanya at ang katontentuhang na darama ko ay umaapaw. I dont know of this is love or I am just crazy because everything's that heavy feels light when I see her.

Hinigit ko ang kamay nyat hinila papalaput saakin at doon ko sya niyakap papatalikod.

"Sometimes lang" sabay tingin sa baga ng sigarilyo at tupok non sa barandilya ng kanilang balkonahe.

"Hmm" tango nya, "May problema ba? Napapadalang yung paninigarilyo mo"

Natigilan ako sa pag tupok ng baga dahil doon. She see me.

"David, ano ba ako sayo?"

Humarap sya saakin. Nakatapis lang sya ng tualya habang ang hiblang kanyang buhok ay nakapaloob sa likod ng kanyang tainga at dahil mahangin nililipad iyon. I smiled and wipe the strands that cover her face.

"My wife"

Ngumuso sya at ngumuwi, "Then tell me what's your problem, can you?"

Fumungaw ako saknaya at napangiti tska asya niyakap ng mahigpit. This warm inside of my agony is everything.

"What do you think about the future?"

"Tayo parin kung tayo" walang halaga nyang tugon.

"I am scared"

Nagangat syang tingin ngunit hindi ako tumingin pabalik.

"Scared of what coming next after this. After this serene what will happen"

Ramdam ko ang titig nya at narinig ko ang munti nyang hagikgik bago muli ibalik ang ulo saaking dibdib at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. I cant breathe. Not in literal, I just cant really breathe when she is doing this, she is being gentle and tender unlike to what Ana I encounter here the first time I went.

That time she being so guarded, observant and distant.

"Hindi ko akalaing insecure ka rin. Well, let's just the flow of the wind brought us where should we are?"

Despite of her calming voice I still cany settle my thoughts. It's all about the future and whatifs.
