Chapter 17

Lucius and I toured the house. There's a master bedroom and 2 other bedrooms that has separate bathrooms. There's a small gym, mini library, 2 office, a kitchen with a pantry and a separate dining room, 2 living rooms for guests and own use, a garage that can fit 5 cars, and 3 vacant rooms that can be used as storage room or anything that we like in the future.

I like the master bedroom comfort room. Malaki din naman ang comfort room ng ibang kwarto at separate comfort rooms, but the one in the master bedroom is huge. Connected ito sa malaking walk-in closet. The comfort room itself is big. It has a built in bath area, a shower room, and even a steam room.

"It's beautiful." Sabi ko kay Lucius nang tanungin niya kung anong tingin ko sa bahay. Because some walls are made of glass ay maraming natural light na pumapasok, making the inside bright. The furniture and wall colors are bright, but it blended well with each other. It's not as luxurious as the Alberto's residence, but it's classy.

"We can stay here from now on kung ready ka na." Sabi niya.

"How about our things?" I haven't packed anything yet. Althought the house is already fully furnished, wala pa roon ang mga gamit. I don't have a lot of things that I want to bring since hindi ko naman ginagamit ang karamihan sa mga gamit ko simula ang umuwi ako galing ospital, but my clothes are not here.

"Your mom already sent some of your things here yesterday. Ipinaayos ko na sa closet ang iba. We can check it now para kung may iba ka pang gustong dalhin ay makuha natin."

"How about you? Have you move your things na?"

He nodded. "Some. Ipapadala ko pa 'yung iba na nasa penthouse. Hindi ko nilahat since we can stay there once in a while. You shouldn't bring all of your things too para kapag bumisita ka sa bahay ninyo ay may gamit ka. We'll just buy you new things."

"We'll go to your penthouse sometimes?" Tanong ko. I look forward going there dahil hindi ko pa tio nakikita.

Lucius moved to my back and hugged my waist. Napakapit ako sa braso niya nang ipatong niya ang kanyang baba sa akin balikat. "Probably. Our penthouse is nearer my main office so if I'm busy with work, we can stay there para hindi malayo ang byahe."

I smiled as he said that it's our penthouse. I felt welcomed there dahil sa sinabi niya. "I like that. You won't get tired travelling far especially with busy traffic hours."

"Yes, so let's move some of your things there too." Sabi niya bago ako dinampian ng labi sa pisngi.

We stayed like that hanggang sa mapagdesisyunan namin na buksan ang mga regalo na nasa isa sa mga bakanteng room. The floor is littered with it kaya paniguradong matatagalan kami.

After hours of unboxing ay halos nakalahati na namin ang mga regalo. There are clothes, small furniture, kitchenware, clothes, accessories, and other things. We separated each types and decided to postpone it. Magtatanghali na kasi so we decided to eat out.

"Tesoro, aren't you busy with your work?" Tanong ko habang nasa kotse niya kami. He is driving around habang wala pa kaming naiisip na gustong kainan.

He glanced at me. "I took two weeks of leave. I already settled the important matters bago pa man tayo ikasal, and I left the management to someone competent so you don't have to worry."

"But isn't two weeks too long?"

"Why, you don't want to be with me anymore?" Tudyo niya.

"Of course that's not the case. But it seems a waste dahil wala naman tayong importanteng gagawin. A week is too long fro lazying around."
