Battered Wife

Chapter 2

Nastress talaga ako sa kakaisip ng mga gagawin sa Birthday party ko. Double celebration pala ito ng baby ko at birthday ko. It needs to be a blast.

"Honey, don't stress yourself out, chillax ka lang nga diyan."

"Honey kase one week preparation nalang, birthday ko na." I sighed and thought what flowers would be a better design on the stage. "Maybe pink roses will do."

He chuckled "Just like our wedding's flowers huh." He patted my head. "Ikaw talaga honey napaka stick to one mo pagdating sa mga things and do's."

"Oo naman honey, kaya nga stick to one ako sa'yo e." we laughed at my biro. Hays ano pa baa ng dapat ko'ng gawin? Ay oo ng pala, the drinks. It must be light drinks lang kase ayokong may malasing. Ma-stress pa ako dun.

Umalis muna si Anthon papuntang office niya to settle some things out. Ako naman e needed to work out thins para sa grand celebration ko.

"My theme would be pink in all aspects of color. And the guests are needed to wear pink para naman uniform. Great idea."

I spent the whole afternoon deciding what should be the things needed for my birthday, and my baby's second month should look like.

Boung hapon din akong natulog at inantay si Anthon. Tumawag siya anf told me that he will be coming home late kase maraming inasikaso sa opisina which is understandable, he is the boss and boss gets to work work work hard for the company.

Nagising ako ng may kamay sa tiyan ko ang humaplos.

"Honey your tummy is getting bigger." Sabay haplos sa tiyan ko at buhok ko. He really is a great husband and dad.

"Yes honey, and lumiliit na sa akin ang mga damit ko."

"That is why I bought you these." TInaas niya yung mga paper bags. Mga mamahaling damit ang dala niya. He knows my sizes when it comes to clothes, kaya alam niya ang bibilhin. "Tinawagan kita to come with me mamasyal at mamili but you were sleeping naman pala kaya pala ayaw mo'ng sagutin." At nag-pout pa siya.

"Ang cute mo talaga honey. Haha napasarap ang tulog e, pasensya." Napakamot pa ako.

"Sleeping is good for you kaya okay lang honey." He then kissed my forehead. "Magbibihis lang ako."

He then went upstairs and nagbihis siya. I looked at the clothes he just bought and told myself how lucky I was to be his wife. "Swerte ko talaga." I whispered in between chuckle and tears.
