Basta't Kasama Kita

"Baby, I'm home," ang tawag ni Greg pagpasok n'ya sa kanilang unit. "Where are you?"

"Bedroom."

He went to their room to find her in bed but still in her work clothes.

"O, how are you feeling now? Sorry kung hindi agad ako nakauwi ha. That presentation took longer than I expected."

"It's okay."

He sat next to her and touched her forehead. "Ano na ang pakiramdam mo? Wala ka namang lagnat. Sabi ni Chary you didn't look good when you came back from lunch. May nangyari ba?"

"Hay naku Greg!"

"O bakit?"

"Magresign na kaya ako?"

"Ha? Bakit naman? Ano bang nangyari?"

"Medyo nagkasagutan kami ni Lauren."

"What? Why?"

"Alam mo medyo selosa naman ako when it comes to other girls showing you they like you pero napipigilan ko naman 'yun eh. Kaya lang para sabihin sa akin ni Lauren that she's warning me that she's gonna do whatever it takes to make you notice her eh ibang usapan na 'yun."

"What? She said that?"

"Oo."

"Anong sinabi mo?"

"Don't worry hindi naman ako nag-eskandalo pero I said some things to her. Gosh! I feel so stupid! Alam kong hindi ko s'ya dapat pinatulan kasi client natin s'ya but it's getting personal. Iba 'yung sabihin n'ya sa akin na may gusto s'ya sa 'yo at iba rin 'yung sasabihin n'yang I should be warned kasi aagawin ka n'ya sa akin."

Sandra looks so stressed out but he couldn't help but smile. He feels elated that Sandra would fight for him like that. "I love you, baby," he sweetly said then kissed her on the lips.

"Obvious ba na mahal na mahal din kita?" she asked after the kiss.

"Oo, halatang-halata na patay na patay ka sa akin."

"Pasalamat ka talaga..."

"I am thankful every single day that God gave me a chance to be with you. I thank Him everyday because I know you love me back. And I thank you for fighting for me. Ako rin naman, kung dadating ang pagkakataon na someone would want to take you away from me, they would have to kill me first before they can have you."
