Tiki Love

One Hundreth and Second

"Are you happy?",

"Of course, I am!", saka niya hinalikan si Elmo bago humiga.

Nasa kwarto na sila at naghahanda sa pagtulog.

"1 down , 2 to go!",

Taka naman ang sumunod na reaksiyon ni Julie.

" Irog, only one to go!", pagtama niya pa sa mapapangasawa saka tumagilid paharap kay Elmo.

"Tapos na tayo sa binyag, now its the wedding that we're preparing for",

"2 to go pa, Baby!",

"What do you mean?",

"Marami ka bang nainom tonight, Irog ko?!", natatawang sabi pa ni Julie.

"Tapos na yung birthday ko, tapos na yung birthday mo, and the twin's birthday isn't coming until next year",

"I know, I know! What I'm trying to say is that, we still need to get your exhibit done", saka pa hinila si Julie para yakapin.

"M- Moe! Hindi na natin kelangan gawin yun",

"There are other things that need to be prioritized right now",

"Baby, it's your dream. You've been wanting that to happen ever since, we can still do it",

Kumawala naman si Julie sa pagkakayap nito.

"I don't know. I haven't painted in a while",

"Hindi ko din pa natatapos yung ibang nasimulan ko"

"I'm sorry"...saka  hinawakan si Julie sa mukha.

"Kung hindi siguro ako dumating sa buhay mo, I'm sure maraming plano na ang nagawa at natupad sa mga pangarap mo", malungkot na sabi ni Elmo.

"Irog, don't say that! You and the twins are the best thing that ever happened to me",

"I may have lost some opportunities along the  way, or may mga bagay akong hindi ko na magagawa pa, but I have no regrets",

" Mas magsisisi ako, if I didn't give our relationship a chance", saka hinalikan ang noo ni Elmo.

"Thank you!",

"No, thank you!", sagot pa ni Julie.

"I love you, Moe! Ikaw pati ang mga bata ang pinakaimportante sa akin ngayon. Don't ever feel responsible or  guilty about those things na hindi naman na mahalaga sa kin kung nangyari ba o hindi.",

Hindi sumagot si Elmo, instead he leaned forward to Julie and kissed her.

"Mas mahal kita, Baby! And you know that",

"Few months from now, you will officially be Mrs. Julie Anne San Jose-Magalona",

"Hyphenated talaga?!" ngiti ni Julie.

"Oo naman. I don't want you to lose that San Jose. You made that name popular on your own. So I want you to keep it.",

"Salamat, Irog", saka niya muling hinalikan si Elmo.

"Kung pera lang yung thank you mo, ang yaman ko na hehe!", biro nito.

"I will be forever grateful, Moe! Sa lahat ng ginawa mo, sa mga ginagawa mo ngayon, at sa mga gagawin mo pa in the future!",

"You're welcome, Baby!"

"Always, Always!",

"Now I deserve a kiss don't you think?", tease ni Elmo.

"You deserve more than a kiss, Magalona!",

Julie pulled up her nightie as Elmo kissed her passionately. 

And for a good one hour and a half, they made love.
