I was woken by the unfamiliar sensation from my neck, that's when I found out that Tyler is smelling and nuzzling it.
"Do I wake you up?" he asked and it was like the most stupid question I had ever heard.
"Isn't it obvious?" I asked with my brow arched.
Sino ba naman ang hindi magigising kung may lalaking inaamoy at sinisinghot ang leeg mo? Umagang umaga naman para sa kamanyakan ng asawa ko.
"I just missed you," he defended himself.
"Miss? As if hindi ko alam na ilang minuto ka lang naligo, tapos bumalik kana dito sa tabi ko. So, paano mo ako namiss?"
Miss daw eh. Samantalang, bago siya maligo ay hinalikan niya pa ang labi ko. Take note! Wala pa yatang thirty minutes na naligo siya.
"Hay! 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 minute, 45 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 second, 25 millisecond, and even just a blink of my eyes without you I'm seeing, I already missed you."
Oh? Napanganga naman daw ako sa mga sinabi niya. Pati millisecond na 'yan nadamay pa.
"Ewan ko sa'yo," sabi ko at tumayo na ako paalis sa kama. "Magluluto na ako, anong gusto mo?" tanong ko rito habang nagpupuyod ako.
"Ikaw?"
"Tyler naman! Seryoso ako."
"Ang init ng ulo nito. Bipolar ka?"
"Bahala ka nga sa buhay mo!" sigaw ko rito at padabog akong lumabas ng kwarto.
Bakit ba ganito ako? Gusto ko na tuloy isipin na buntis nga ako. Kaya lang wala naman akong morning sickness na nararamdaman. Hindi nga rin ako nagsusuka.
I was back to reality when I heard the sound of the doorbell.
"Baby! May tao sa labas!" I shouted.
Napatunayan ko na bipolar nga ako. Kanina padabog akong lumabas ng kwarto and then now, I called him baby. What the hell is happening to me.
I heard Tyler closing the wooden door as he stepped into our house.
"Sino 'yon?" I asked while I put cheese spread in the bread
"Delivery man. Para raw sa atin?" he said an unsure and I took a step toward him.
"Gift certificate? Worth 500 000? Kanino galing yan?" naghihisterikal na sigaw ko.
"Kay Tita Miriam at Tito Lex," he answered.
I was really shocked. Sinabi ko na sa kanila na ang presence nila sa kasal ko at ang pagtanggap nila kay Tyler bilang asawa ko ay sobra sobra na.
"You're crying!"
I was back to reality when he screamed and suddenly hugged me.
"I thought I was never been enough, and I would never been loved. B-but this is so much to absorb," I said between my sobs.
"Hush baby, you all deserve this. I'll call Tita Miriam for you," he said and kissed my forehead before he headed to our room.
Now, I can tell that this was almost perfect. I have my loving husband, my caring family, the perfect in-laws and God as our shoulder. And when I tell family, I refer to Jess' family.
One thing is left before I consider this a perfect life. I have been hoping to finally forgive and thank my poster parents. Soon enough, when I have the courage to do so. Sa ngayon kasi, hindi pa ako handa. Step-by-step procedure, hanggang sa magawa ko nang makalimutan lahat ng sakit na naidulot nila.
"Baby!" Tyler called out and I made my way out of the kitchen. "Yes po, ma'am. Ito na po si Taliyah," Tyler continued as he handed me his phone.
"Tita," I said as I sign the it was me who's speaking.
