(Breakfast @ Riders’ Veranda)

Jio Cantiller: Ui Jigs, congrats. 2 months palang kayong kasal, ah. Totoo palang malala ang hormones ng kambal ng tadhana. Can I touch her belly?

Hindi na hinintay ni Jio ang sagot ni Jigger at akmang hahawakan na ang tiyan niya. Hindi pa siya nakapagreact nang . . .

Jigger Samaniego: Hoy Jio! Lumayo ka kay Nova. I don’t want you touching her and my daughter.

Itinaas ni Jio ang kanyang kamay.

Jio: Hey hey. Calm down. Hands off na ako. K?

Tumawa si Jio and patted her head. Umiwas siya.

Nova: Don’t touch me. Baka ma-influence mo pa ang baby ko.

Tumawa na naman ito.

Jio: Ok. Ok. Be a good girl, Nova, ah. Para naman hindi na magalit si Jigger sa mundo.

He motioned to kiss her head.

Jigger: Don’t dare, Jio.

Jigger had a threatening, authorative voice. Ah. The man I fell in love with.

Lumayo na ang unggoy sa kanila. Minutes later, she felt strangely empty. Like something was missing.

Jigger: Hon, are you ok? You look down . . .

Nova: Jigger . . .

Bumukas ang door ng Rider’s Veranda. Trigger came in and walked towards them. Kumuha ito ng upuan at nakiupo sa kanila ni Jigger. Her spirits were suddenly lifted. Ahhh. Si Trigger nga pala ang pinaglilihian ko.

Nova: Trigger!!!!

Trigger said hi to her and then nakipag-usap ito sa asawa niya.

Trigger: Jigs, bumisista daw tayo sa Rancho, sabi ni Mommy. May pinamili daw siyang baby shoes, clothes at crib. Ui chocolate cake. Pahingi ah.

Looking at him eating Jigger’s untouched chocolate cake, she couldn’t resist the urge to poke him, especially his cheeks. She kept on poking him.

Nova: Trigger. Trigger. Trigger.

Hindi rin niya maintindihan kung bakit gusto niyang sinasabi ang panagalan nito.

Jigger: NOVA!

Trigger: Hi Nova.

They said in unison. While Jigger’s voice was threatening, puno naman ng pagtataka ang boses ni Trigger. Binalingan ni Trigger si Jigger.

Trigger: Jigs, ako pa rin ba ang pinaglilihian ng asawa mo?

Jigger: Shut up, Trigger.

Trigger: I really miss Yeti but thank God, she’s still in Manila. Ayaw ko siyang magselos. Yeti . . . Sana Jigs, hindi ikaw ang paglihian niya kapag nabuntis siya. Baka pumangit ang baby ko.

HInawakan ni Jigger ang kamay niya.

Jigger: Nova, we’re going home.

She wanted to say no but she didn’t have time to react dahil mabilis na naglakad si Jigger, hawak ang kamay niya.

Trigger: Ui Jigs. Akin na lang tong chocolate cake ah. Tinatamad akong mag-order, eh.   <-------- pahabol pa ni Trigger bako sila nakalabas.

Nova: Trigger . . . < ------- sabi niya bago sila tuluyang nakalabas ni Jigger.

They rode Jigger’s car. Ayaw daw nitong si Koolio ang gamitin nila dahil baka makasama sa baby. She watched Jigger as his beautiful face became darker by the minute.

The next day, habang naglilibot sila ni Jigger sa Riding Club, she felt that strange emptiness again.

Kumapit siya sa braso ni Jigger.

Nova: Jigs, hon. < ---- she said with a charming voice.

Jigger: Hmmmm?

Nova: Jigs, tawagan mo si Trigger. I want to see Trigger.

 Jigger’s face darkened again. He brushed his hand through his hair in frustration.

Jigger: Bakit ba Trigger ka ng Trigger? Bakit di nalang ako ang paglihian mo? Magkamukha lang naman kami ah?

His voice was only slightly loud but it made her feel very very sad and lonely. Tears rolled down her face. On a normal day, baka tinawanan na niya ang sarili niyang drama. Damn! How does pregnancy make women so sensitive? Nakakahiya.

Nova: Eh si Trigger ang gusto kong makita eh. Bakit mo ako sinisigawan? Bakit ka galit? I just want to see Trigger.

Nakita niya na Trigger was heading their way. May dala itong dalawang maleta.

Nova: Trigger . . .

And she started walking towards him. But Jigger grabbed her arm. She turned around and he kissed her passionately and lovingly, just like the first time.

When that very long kiss ended, they were both smiling.

Nova: Well, magakamukha nga naman kayo. Puwede na sigurong ikaw ang paglihian ko.

Jigger hugged her.

Jigger: Good.

Binalingan nito ang kakambal na dumating na sa puwesto nila.

Jigger: Oh Trigger. Saan ka pupunta?

Trigger: I can bare this no longer. I miss Yeti so much. Kailangan ko na siyang puntahan sa Manila. Para makagawa na rin kami ng baby namin.

Jigger: Bye. Huwag ka munang bumalik rito hangga’t hindi pa nagnganganak si Nova.
