CHAPTER TWELVE
Hindi lahat ng happy ever after ay peak moments. May mga time na boring talaga iyon o aatake ang boredom.
Nakapag-post na sila sa gate ng Wanted: Housemaid, maging sa Classified Ads, pina-publish na rin iyon ni Jude. It was about five hours ago at wala pang pumupunta sa bahay nila para mag-apply. Therefore, nakaupo lang sila sa ilang long bench sa tabi ng pool, sa ilalim ng puno at nakatunganga lang talaga.
It’s the most peaceful scenario that Ellen could ever imagine, being in Jude’s arms, just sitting, watching the gentle wave ripples of the swimming pool water kapag humahangin ng kaunti.
“Wala ba tayong gagawin today?” tingala ni Ellen kay Jude.
“I don’t want to go out,” he grunted. Hinigpitan lang nito ang pagkakayapos sa kanya.
“Me too,” ngiti niya. “Ayoko naman ma-bored.”
“Getting bored of my company?”
“Of course not,” nguso niya. “Kaya lang, are we just gonna sit here all day?”
“Yeah,” he breathed out. “We can also talk you know.”
“Talk about what?”
“I think we have really met years ago. Don’t I look familiar?”
Tinitigan siya ni Ellen. “We’ve met? Paano mo nasabi?”
“I’m the pirate guy,” he grinned. “Well, pinormahan kita noon. You’re in a witch costume, uhm, sexiest witch back then.”
“That Halloween?”
He grinned. “Best Halloween, right? You met your future husband.”
Nawala ang ngisi ni Jude dahil sa kakaibang hitsura ni Ellen. Napatulala lang ito.
“What’s wrong?”
“That day, namatay sila Mama.”
Napapikit si Jude. “My. And we are supposed to visit her, right?”
“Yes, dear.”
He kissed her cheek. “We will. Let’s just get our rest for today, hm?”
“Opo,” ngiti lang ni Ellen. Then, something popped up inside her head. “Ang swerte mo, no?”
“I really am.”
“I mean, look, hindi ka nahirapan sa panliligaw, you instantly had me for a wife ha? Samantalang magkandarapa yung mga kaklase ko nung college.”
“Well, if it’s fate, they can’t beat me, no matter how much pa yung kandarapa na gawin nila.”
“Ligawan mo kaya ako?”
His eyes widened. “Are you serious?”
“I just want to see kung papasado ka nga talaga kung nanligaw ka.”
Naningkit lang ang mga mata nito. He released her para magkaharap sila. “Well, dear wife, if mangyayari iyan, that means, maghihiwalay na naman tayo ng bahay. No way.” Yumakap na ulit ito sa bewang niya.
