My Husband's Mistress

A Day with Theodore

Eva

I felt something on my hands. It was holding me tightly. As if it doesn't want to let me go. When I'm about to open my eyes, i felt it move and heard a voice.

"No." Then i opened up my eyes only to see a Greek God in front of me. He was sleeping. His eyebrows were in a frown. Pati ba naman sa pagtulog mainit padin ulo mo Wyatt? He keeps on murmuring No. Why? What's wrong?

Nadapo naman ang tingin ko sa kamay ko. Nakahawak ang kamay nya sakin. Hawak na sobrang higpit. Tila ba ayaw nakong bitawan. Ano to? You suddenly apologized and asked me out. Am I dreaming? If yes, please don't wake me up.

I don't know what he's up to. But I'm happy about it. If this is just an act, I'm willing to be the best actress.

Ilang segundo ko pang tinitigan ang muka nya. Grabe. Pano ko ba gagawing hindi ka mahalin? Turuan mo ako Wyatt. Dahil napapagod na din ako.

Ilang saglit pay nagmulat na ang mapupungay nyang mga mata. Ngumiti sya at tinitigan din ako. Pakiramdam ko'y malulusaw na ako Wyatt.

"Gising ka na pala." Tumango lang ako at nginitian sya. Hindi nya ata napapansin ang kamay nya dahil hindi padin nya ito inaalis.

"Oh yeah. We're going out. Sorry I fell asleep." Nahihiya pa sya habang sinasabi nya yan.

"Ha? No it's fine. Hindi naman natin kailangan lumabas Wyatt." Nahihiyang sagot ko. Kinakabahan ako sayo Wyatt umayos ka naman.

"No Penelope. I said we're going out, so we are. Unless you don't want to?" Nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi nya nang sabihin nya ito. Does he really want to go out with me?

"I-i do. I do." Agad na bumalik ang ngiti nya at bumangon na. Saka lang nya binitawan ang kamay ko nang makatayo na sya.

"Bihis ka na? I'll see you outside." Tumango nalang ako at lumabas na siya. Nagsuot lang ako ng simpleng dress at converse. I curled my hair a little, just adding some waves. Ok na siguro to?

Lumabas ako to see my husband wearing a brown shorts, plain blue shirt and black na vans. Why do you have to be so beautiful Wyatt?

"You look wonderful Penelope." I shyly laughed and thank him for that.

"You look nice too." Nahihiya man ay sinabi ko din ito. Ngumiti naman sya at hinawakan na ulit ang kamay ko. Sana ganito nalang kami palagi. If this is a dream, I'm willing to sleep forever.

"Halika na?" I nodded and he lead me out the car. When we reached the car, he opened the door for me and then went to go to his seat.

After almost a year of marriage, this is the first time i ever ride his car. I never had the chance to. Please, do not wake me up from this dream. Please

At umalis na nga kami. Habang nasa kotse, di sinasadyan napatingin ako sa kamay ko. I rememebered how it looks like nung nasa cr ako. Its full of ointment. At wala namang ibang gagawa nun kundi siya... You make me fall in love with you even more Theodore. Konti nalang maniniwala na akong totoo ito.

"Were here." Kakaisip kung anong balak niya ay di ko namalayan na nandito na pala kami.

We don't know what to do first so we decided to watch a movie. Kinakabahan talaga ako. Daig ko pa ang teenager na ka date ang crush nya.

"Hey. I'll go get us some popcorns. I'll be back ok?" He said smiling. Oh how i love those smiles. Tumango naman ako sa kanya at umalis na sya. I just scrolled through my phone while waiting for him. I'm actually messaging my bestie ti tell her that omg I'm dreaming.
