Can I have this dance

CHAPTER 28

MONTHS have passed eversince I got married to Elieazer. He's still sweet and caring and cold at the same time. We often make love, na kung saan saang parte na ng bahay namin ginagawa maliban na lang sa pool area because I find it dirty to do it in the pool and also, I'm not comfortable doing it outside.

"Hmm, wife what do you think? I want a baby girl" Elieazer said.

Nandito kami sa may balcony ngayon, we decided na maglagay ng mahihigaan so we can view the stars, It was my suggestion that Elieazer willingly oblige.

Napatigil naman ako dahil sa narinig, He's been telling me this for months but I still have no response, marami pa akong inaalam. And having a baby at this times wouldn't be helpful for us—for me.

"Why baby girl? What if baby boy ang ibinigay ni God saatin?" I asked, nakayakap naman ako sakanya habang nakaunan ako sa braso niya.

Niyakap naman niya ako pabalik saka niya hinalikan ang noo ko.

"Of course! a boy or a girl, kahit ano masaya na ako, I will spoil our baby a lot for sure" he smiled at me sincerely.

Napatitig na lang ako kay Elieazer matapos kong makita ang mga ngiti niyang iyon. This is something I would like to remain in my memory forever, not just the feeling of warmth of his embrace but his sweet smiles as well.

"What if..." panimula ko.

His green orbs stared at my hazel ones.

"What if?" He asked..no hint of coldness or so in his voice. "Go on wife, continue" sabi nito.

"What if hindi tayo biyayaan? What if lang naman ha ha!" tanong ko dito, I tried my best to sound like I am just overthinking. I wanna know how will Elieazer react to this. Would he be okay? Or wouldn't he?

"Hmm...I'll be disappointed," He responded blatantly "But if we can't have one, then it's fine" He smiled, but his smile isn't as bright as what I am used to see.

Atleast now I know....

"Why?"

"I've been longing to have a baby, Pero kung hindi naman tayo bibiyayaan edi ikaw na lang baby ko" He joked, jusko! hindi ko alam na may ganitong side pala ang asawa ko.

Mahina ko namang pinisil ang braso nito saka ako muling yumakap dito, Inayos naman niya ang kumot naming dalawa saka kami parehong tumingin sa kalangitan. Nagkwentuhan pa kami ni Elieazer, we even talked about my brother's and my twin Guineth.

Kuya Aster and I have been meeting for quite sometime, I think we're back from being close again. Aiden on the hand cannot be reached, even my bestfriend Trisha. I think those two already eloped, which is fine with me. Kung saan masaya ang dalawa edi support ako sakanila.

"By the way wife, I'll be on a business trip this week" paalam ni Elieazer saakin. "I don't want to leave you here, but this is a very important meeting that I don't want to miss"

"Saan naman?" tanong ko dito saka ko isinandal ang ulo ko sa dibdib nito.

"Paris"

Napatingin naman ako sakanya dahil sa narinig.

"Is Gabriel coming too?" I asked, as I stare at his green orbs.

"Yes, of course he needs to be there" pinisil naman nito ang ilong ko. "No worries wife, I'll finish what I have to finish as soon as possible, so I can go home here" He said assuring me.

"Okay" nginitian ko naman ito saka ko muling isinandal ang sarili ko sa dibdib nito.

We continued talking about some random stuffs, may mga topic na nagkaroon kami ng short debate at may topic naman na nag asaran lang kami, until we both got tired and decided to sleep.
