The Mayor's

CHAPTER 22

_

"Two more days, I'll be home. What do you want? hmm?"

I closed my eyes tightly because of how I'm longing in his embrace. It was just four days but I really miss him. Sa ilang beses niyang pabalik balik sa Manila ngayon ang pinakamatagal niyang uwi. Apat na araw siya doon.

"Wala, gusto ko lang umuwi ka."

"You really miss me that much, huh?"

"Hindi naman," I denied. He chuckled at the other line.

"You don't miss me at all?"

"Oo," I said firmly.

"Okay, How about I'll extend my stay here-"

Agad nag-init ang ulo at mata ko sa sinabi niya. Ang kaninang pinipigilang pag-iyak ay tuluyang ng kumawala.

"Edi sige! Dyan ka!"

"Hey, I'm just kidding. Ang init naman ng ulo ng Misis ko. I'll be home-"

"Bahala ka!" I ended the call.

He tried to to call me again but I didn't answer it. When he realized all his calls I didn't answer he texted me.

From: Gideon.

Hey, love. I'm sorry. I won't extend my stay here cause I'm miss you even so you don't miss me haha. I love you so much. I'll be home okay? I'll be you in two days with your favorites cake. I love you and our baby.

Ang kaninang galit at pagtampo ay agad nawala nang mabasa ng mensahe ni Gideon. He really know how to melt me with his damn words!

Ako:

Ok.

I replied.

From: Gideon

Haha, Love you.

I sighed heavily. I always remind myself to be more patient and understanding when it comes to his works. His work is in Manila and I know he's trying to manage his time to be here with me. Hindi ko lang talaga mapigilan ang mga mood ko lalo na kapag wala siya.

Especially now that I'm five months pregnant, medyo may kalakihan na ang tiyan ko at nakakaramdam na maseselang sintomas. Gideon wants us to be wed this year but I suggested next year will be fine. Saka na lang pagkatapos kong manganak.

Ilang beses na rin siyang nagpaalam sa akin na ipakilala niya ako sa magulang niya but I refused and he respected it. Way back he also tried but again I refused because of my insecurity.

Alam kong ito na ang tamang panahon para doon dahil iisa lang naman ang patutunguhan ng relasyon namin ni Gideon. And for that, I assured him we will met his family after my birth.

He is so patient with me and he granted all my requests, and I should do it also with him. I should be equal to our relationship. Dapat nga hindi na ako magalit kapag umaalis si Gideon dahil trabaho naman ang pinupuntahan niya roon.

I wiped my tears immediately and typed a reply to him.

Ako:

I'm sorry, I'm just so moody right now. but yeah, I miss you. Take care always.

Ilang segundo lang ang pag send ay naka reply na agad siya.

From: Gideon

I know, I love you. Take care too, take a rest okay?

Being five months pregnant is really hard, it's really difficult to adjust the changes and for that I took my maternity leave, umuwi din muna ako ng San Jimenez para doon makapagpahinga at hindi maistorbo si Gwen.
