CHAPTER 35

"Hoooon, wake up ka na. I'm hungry." sabi ko habang niyuyugyog si James.

Dito siya natulog sa bahay ni Reljane kagabi. Hindi naman siya nagkaproblema sa damit na pantulog niya dahil may bag naman siya ng mga damit sa compartment ng kotse niya. Ako ang naglalagay no'n doon, hindi naman kasi natin alam lung kailan kakailanganin ng damit kaya mabuti ng may nakahanda.

"Hmm, Hon. I'm still sleepy." sabi niya at tinakpan ng unan 'yong mukha niya.

Ngumuso ako at pumunta doon sa may paa-han niya. I tickled his foot at napabangon naman siya bigla.

"What do you want?" walang kaemo-emosyong tanong niya sa 'kin.

Natakot naman ako at umupo sa may kama. I started crying, ang sungit-sungit niya, ayaw niya kaming ipagluto at pakainin ni Little Alcantara.

"Sorry if I disturbed you. I'm just hungry, but I can cook for myself. You can go back to sleep." umiiyak na sabi ko. Lalabas na sana ako nang yakapin niya 'ko mula sa likod.

He kissed my neck. "I'm sorry, Hon. Stop crying, I'll cook for you and our baby. 'Di pwedeng 'di kumain." nakangiting sabi niya then he kissed my cheek.

Humarap ako sa kanya. "Talaga?! Akala ko ba, ayaw mo?" I pouted.

He gave me a smack on the lips. "Ew, 'di ka pa nagtu-toothbrush!" sabi ko sa kanya at mahinang pinalo 'yong lips niya.

He chuckled. "Bakit, Hon? Nagtoothbrush ka na ba?" he asked.

I silently chuckled at umiling. Hehe, 'di pa 'ko nagtu-toothbrush eh, wi-nash ko lang 'yong face ko. Hihihi.

"See, tie lang tayo, 'di pa tayo parehas nagtu-toothbrush. Anyway, baba na tayo. Ipagluluto ko na kayo." sabi niya at naunang lumabas ng kwarto. Hawak niya 'yong kamay ko at pinaupo niya 'ko sa sofa.

"What do you want to eat?" tanong niya habang nakaluhod sa harap ko.

"I want to eat fruits. Watermelon, apple--green apple, please--strawberries, and dragon fruit! I also want to eat Sinigang na Corned Beef and Sili flavored Ice cream!" tuloy tuloy na sabi ko at pumalakpak.

I noticed that his jaw dropped pero sinara niya rin naman agad 'yong bibig niya then he shaked his head.

"I'll just cook your Sinigang na Corned beef, okay? Then after we eat, take a bath and we'll go to the grocery store to buy the fruits you want to eat and your sili flavored ice cream." sabi niya at pi-nat ang ulo ko. I chuckled.

Aalis na sana siya pero hinila ko siya para ma-hug. Hihi, I just wanted to hug and smell his scent. Hmmm, kahit 'di na naliligo, he still smells good. I buried my face on his neck and kissed him there.

He silently chuckled. "Hon, not n-now. Gutom na kayo ni Little Alcantara--shit." he said. He moaned when I bit his neck. Hihi, I'm so naughty.

Look at this guy. Pinipigilan niya 'ko kanina pero nakayakap rin naman siya sa 'kin. He's baliw.

"Huy, ano 'ng ginagawa niyong dalawa d'yan? Ang aga-aga, Gilberton, Alcantara!"

I stopped kissing him. Tumingin kami kay Reljane and we saw her na umirap kay James.

"Reljane, galit ka pa ba sa 'kin? Bati na kami, huy!" sabi ni James pagkatayo niya. I remained sitted at pinanood silang mag-away do'n. Hihi, they look like siblings.

When they noticed na pinapanood ko sila mag-away, James handed me the remote control of the tv. "Hon, manood ka na muna, magluluto lang kami ni Reljane ng Sinigang na Corned beef." he said before he dragged Reljane to the kitchen.
