Lay Me By Your Side

....

" Love, wala pa din eh" malungkot na sabi ni Sarah

" come here, " i made her sit on my lap . . we're in my office, after ng shoot nito for another endorsement na nasa vicinity lang naman, kaya dumiretso na ito dito
" we will try harder, ok . dont worry, baka di lang pa talaga natin time" sabi ko habang hinahawakan ang baba nito . Naiiyak na nga ito, she's very emotional when it comes to this . . She was delayed kaya akala namin, she' s pregnant, pero again, false alarm lang pala

Huminga ito ng malalim at isiniksik ang mukha sa leeg ko " yeah , i guess hindi pa talaga time . . pero we will try again"

" oo naman, gusto mo ngayon na agad???" biro ko dito . . hinampas naman ako nito at medyo napangiti ko na din

" puro ka kalokohan, . . " akmang tatayo na ito ng pigilan ko

" dito ka lang, i could still work kahit youre seated on my lap ., mas masarap kayang magtrabaho lalo na kapag ganito ka intimate sa akin"

" sus, binobola mo pa ako . . pero di ka ba nabibigatan sa akin?"

" Nope . .malapit ko naman na ito matapos, then we could go home na , i know miss na miss mo na ang kambal " i told her saka ko ito kinintilan ng halik sa noo . . she looked at me, and i can see in her eyes the sadness and longing to have another baby . .

i stopped typing on my laptop at hinawakan ang magandang pisngi nito . .

" Youre so beautiful" sabi ko saka siniil sya ng halik . . agad naman nito tinugon ang halik ko at mas lalo pa nitong hinigpitan ang kapit sa batok ko

" Matt . . not here"'she told me when we break our kisses . . we were both panting for breaths

"uhm ..pwede naman eh"

"heh!!tapusin mo na yan at nang makauwi na tayo" sabi nito saka niyakap na lang ako

" ok, youre the boss eh" sabi ko sabay patuloy ng trabaho

I remembered how sad she was when Nadine told us that we only have 30% chances on bearing another child . . Dahil, sa complications ng muntikang pagkunan ni Sarah nung pinagbubuntis nito ang kambal, mahirap na para sa ito ang mabuntis ulit..

I hugged her tighter nang biglang maalala ko ulit ang sinabi sa amin ni Nadine . .

i finished my work at tinitigan na matiim ang mukha ng natutulog kong asawa . .Di ko naramdaman na nakatulog na pala ito, malamang napagod ito sa trabaho . .

Dahan dahan akong gumalaw at tumayo na buhat buhat ito . .

Maayos ko syang inilapag sa couch, she was sleeping peacefully, i could stare at her angelic face forever.

i stood up and made a call ....

.

" Love , wake up" i said to her as im giving her kisses all over her face

Her lips formed a smile at dahan dahan nitong minulat ang mga mata

" hmmm . hi" she said sleepily

" wake up now, we're heading home" i said

"what time is it?"

" 5"

" huh? nakatulog ako ng mhigit na 2 hours??
