A Love That Started In A Gym Dug Out

CHAPTER 25

                  

Tamie's POV

We definitely had a very long tiring hot night. Now that our marriage is consummated, I felt somewhat secured. Nakakaloka, I lost it but I'm happy yet afraid. There is still pain that he doubted me pero I somewhat accepted it, it's what they perceive me to be. On the lighter note, it will always boil down to Zeke trusting me. Hopefully, hindi lang trust ang nagain ko that night.

I am slowly seeing drastic changes in me. In my dress up, make up, actions and even decisions. I am becoming cautious of everything now. Sobrang affected ako sa mga magiging reaction ni Zeke towards my action. Little by little, love changes me. But in all positives coming in, I am still reminding myself on where I stand. This is still temporary, yes I am hoping this won't end but I still need to be fully equipped, I expect worse to come. It's not always rainbows and unicorns.

Andito na kami sa Hacienda Santiago, yung hacienda nila Zeke. Ang paraiso para sa akin. Kanina, tawa ako nang tawa, naglolokohan sila Mama at mga kapatid nya. Tampong todo todo sila Tita Gelli dahil nga sa hindi paginvite sa kasal namin.

"Hwag na nga kayo magtampo, kapag nagpabinyag kami, invited kayong lahat." Mama

"Sana lang wag makalimutan ng Ate." Tita Gelli

"Ai nako Gelli,pangako na nga." Mama

"Bakit hindi na lang kayo ang bumisita sa Bacolod? Aba ate, hindi mo pa nadadala ang manugang mo duon ah." Tita Gelli

"Sa bakasyon siguro ng mga bata, Tamie, kelan baa ng bakasyon nyo?"

"Mga ilang lingo na lang po Mama." Sabi ko

"O ayan, ilang lingo na lang, mag antay ka naman Gelli, hindi porke't maganda ang manugang ko hihilahin mo lang kung saan." Mama

"Ay grabe ang Ate." Tita Gelli

"Ako po? Hindi nyo tatanungin kung kelan ang bakasyon?" Zeke

"Naku, for sure si Tamie ang masusunod kaya wag ka na lang tanungin! Hahaha" Tita Gelli

"Hon, inaaway nila ako." Sabi ni Zeke sabay yakap sa akin.

I am really amused by his actions at di ko pa din masanay ang sarili ko that he can be so touchy. I saw Mama'a eyes twinkled. I know she felt the happiness we have right now. Sana lang talaga this won't end.

After lunch, the guys needed to go to be able to catch their flight. I never knew a big family can be this happy. Malaki ang pamilya naming but we never had laugh together or not in my fading memory of them. I have not even bond with my elder siblings. I laughed at the thought.

Past 3:00 pm, may dumating na bisita. This house is so warm it attracts visitors to come every now and then. It was Auntie Victoria with her husband, son and daughter in law. I met Auntie Victoria in our wedding, isa sya sa mga bisita.

"Oh Zeke, kumusta?  Where's your wife?" Auntie Vicky

"Hi Tita, Hon." He called me

"Hello po." I said then kissed her cheek

"Haii hija, you look different today kesa nung wedding mo." Auntie Victoria

"Aii, kasi pow ala ako make up ngayon." Sabi ko

"No, I mean, you are more beautiful today." Auntie

"Auntie, my wife is always beautiful, no doubt about that." Zeke seemingly proud

"Haii naku Zeke, mana ka sa Papa mo talaga. Anyway, I'm with Dave and Marisse. Dave will be trained by your Dad." Auntie Victoria

"Oh, so he'll work here. That's nice." Zeke
