"Salas, Jenalyn D., BBA in Culinary Industry Management," the master of ceremonies announced.
 
It made me feel bittersweet. Heto na 'yon! Malayo na rin ang narating ko. I wipe the tear that was trying to escape as I step up onto the stage. I've made it!
 
Ang galing mo, Alyn. I am so proud of you! Wala kang magulang na gumabay sa 'yo, pero nagpatuloy ka pa rin. Wala sila, pero ginawa mo pa rin ang makakaya mo.
 
Napatawa ako noong tumayo pa ang asawa ko habang pumapalakpak. Siya ang nagsabing apelyido ko pa rin sa pagkadalaga ang dapat na ilagay sa aking diploma. It made me love him more with that thought.

He had the most loud and warm applause. Si Josue ay ganoon din. My grandparents-in-law were so proud, too. I noticed how tears rolled down their faces. It's as if they were crying over my small victory. Hindi ko na tuloy maampat ang luha sa mga mata ko. I could feel how proud they were of me.
 
"Proud na proud ako sa 'yo," basa ko sa buka ng bibig ni Tita habang iginagawad sa akin ang diploma. I saw Tita wiping her tears out. I smiled at her.
 
I hugged the diploma tightly against my chest as soon as it landed on my hand.
 
I'm so proud of you, Jen.
 
Wala mang honor o award ay naramdaman kong masaya sila para sa akin. Deukalíōn was awarded the Summa Cum Laude, and Clytius received the Magna Cum Laude. They were awarded with the best thesis, nag-tie sila. I am not envious, though, because they work hard for it and deserve it.
 
 

"You don't have to feel bad that you didn't receive any awards. I knew how well you had put in an effort, and that is enough for me. You've made me really proud, baby." Jacques told me. "As I've said before, win or not, I'd still love you."
 
I was so overwhelmed by having a husband like him. He has been so good to me over the past years, and I feel so blessed to have him.

Naghanda ang buong villa pag-uwi namin. Our blockmates went with us, too. Napansin ko lang kung gaano nila igalang ang asawa ko. Tuwing lalapit siya sa amin ay tumatayo at nagbibigay-pugay ang mga kaklase ko. Hindi ko iyon binigyan ng pansin dahil abala ako sa mga bisita. Maging ang mga guwardiya ko ay naroon din para makisaya.

Natapos ang handaan bandang alas onse ng gabi. My husband didn't drink, though. Ako lang ang uminom. Tawa ako ng tawa habang buhat niya ako. I was kissing and nipping his neck, tanda ko.
 
"Baby, everyone is still awake," he murmured at me.
 
"Bakit? Asawa naman kita, a! Wala namang masama." Ngumuso ako. Napansin ko ngang bukas pa ang lahat ng ilaw sa buong villa. Senyora and Nǎinai were giggling at the stairs, paakyat na rin sila.

"I suggest you teach her how to tone down her voice while you are both doing it, Yǎ kè." I heard Nǎinai's calming voice while saying it. Narinig ko ulit ang tawanan nila ni Senyora.
 
Nag-init ang pisngi ko. Itinago ko ang mukha sa dibdib ng asawa ko. "Am I really that loud?" Bulong ko sa kanya.
 
Nang silipin ko ang mukha niya'y pigil ang ngiti siyang tumango.
 
"Huwag na nating gawin 'yon dito," bulong ko ulit.
 
"We can still do it. You just have to keep quiet," he said, biting his lips.
 
Ngumuso ulit ako. "Hindi ko mapigilan kasi..."
 
His chest then vibrated, stopping him from laughing out loud. "I will teach you how to do it."
 
Ginawa nga niya ang sinabi niya. Every inch of my body is always begging for his touch whenever we are alone. Sobrang init ng katawan ko kapag kasama ko siya.
 
"We are on a honeymoon stage. It is normal," paliwanag sa akin ng asawa ko noong makatapos kami ng ilang rounds. Pumayag akong takpan niya ang bunganga ko habang gumagalaw siya sa ibabaw ko. Ayaw kong ako ang magtakip, mas hot kasi kapag siya.

Lagi kong itinatago ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya tuwing matatapos kami. Sobrang tindi kasi ng pagnanasa ko sa kanya kapag ginagawa namin iyon. He would always brush my hair with his hands and lull me to sleep, saying "I love you" before sleep could pull me off.

Inabot kami ng dalawang taon na ganoon. Habang tumatagal pa nga kami ay mas tumitindi ang nararamdaman namin para sa isa't-isa. Halos hindi na kami mapaghiwalay.
