Chapter 10 – A Typical Husband
That was embarrasing. Monique said to herself. Parang gusto na niyang mawala na parang isang bula nang dahil sa ginawa niya.
She just kissed Nick! At kung hindi ito tumigil para i-off ang apoy sa stove, she’s sure they’ll do something beyond just kissing hungrily with each other.
Why are you complaining? He’s your husband anyway. Her other mind said. Shit. She didn’t even expect na magagawa niya iyon. Well, she was overly eager and happy to see his husband coming back to her.
“Hey, you can take a seat. Ihahanda ko na lang ‘tong niluto sa mesa para makakain ka na.” He said and smiled at her and just continued preparing the food. Hindi niya alam kung napansin ba nito na pulang-pula na ang mukha niya dahil sa paghalik niya rito kanina.
“O-okay.” It was really awkward. Naglakad na siya papunta sa dining table at umupo. Huminga siya ng malalim. Even though she felt embarrased at what she did, she didn’t regret it. She was too happy seeing Nick again. Nagpapasalamat siya sa mga alak na nainom niya kagabi, sa club and hell, she would even thanked the guys who cooperated to dance with her in the club. Dahil doon, naprovoke yata si Nick para kunin siya at iuwi siya sa bahay nila—kasama ito.
Did he forgive her for everything rude she did to him?
Ilang minuto ay dala-dala na nito ang niluto nitong pagkain at nilapag sa mesa. She gotta admit, Nick was really a good cook.
“Eat and tell me if it’s good. I just experimented it with the available sources in the fridge. Sasamahan kita.” Sabi nito pagkatapos ay umupo itong kaharap siya. May dala-dala itong coffee.
“T-thank you.” She sheepishly said. Mas lalo tuloy siyang nailang nang nasa harap na niya ito. Naalala na naman niya ang paghahalikan nilang dalawa sa kanila kanina.
She held the spoon and tasted the food. Napangiti siya. It was really good. “Uhm, i-it’s good. Since two weeks na rin hindi ako nakakain ng matino.” She took another bite. His husband is really an expert in the kitchen. Parang nahihiya tuloy siya kasi kababae niyang tao, mas magaling itong magluto kaysa sa kanya.
Napahinto naman ito sa pag-inom nito sa coffee and looked at her with full of concern. “Why? Dapat hindi mo ginutom ang sarili mo, Monique. Kaya pala nang buhatin kita papunta sa kwarto mo, medyo gumaan ka. Kaya pala medyo payat ka na ngayon.” Pinagalitan siya nito as if he was her mother.
Napayuko naman siya. Yes, nang mawala ito at hindi ito umuwi sa kanina, aminado siyang napapabayaan na niya ang sarili niya. She was damn getting her life miserable because she thought Nick actually left her.
“Sorry.” All she could say. She doesn’t want to meet his gaze at her.
She could hear him sighed. “I’m sorry too kasi iniwan kita. But at least, the house still looked okay. Mabuti na lang walang nasunog sa kusina. As I thought of it, baka nasunog na ang mga frying pans, or even the ceiling kasi ikaw lang dito mag-isa.”
Napaangat naman ang ulo niya nang sabihin nito iyon. Anong akala nito, hindi siya marunong magluto? “A-anong akala mo sa kin, hindi marunong magluto? I can cook!” she raised him an eyebrow.
Nick just chuckled. “Oh, no. No, wife. Wala akong sinabing ganun. Akala ko kasi medyo magiging magulo ang bahay kasi ikaw lang mag-isa.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “You better not insult me.” Then she continued her food although she could see amusement formed from his eyes.
