Promise In The Wind

✥ 35

LISSIE

Kanina ko pa nararamdaman ang walang tigil na pagyugyog ni Zach sa balikat ko. Paulit-ulit, walang tigil, makulit. But I don't have the energy to move, o kahit ang idilat man lang ang mata ko ay parang kakailanganin ko pa ng pwersa. Ganoon ako kahina ngayon.

We just went home from our one week honeymoon last night. Wala akong ibang gusto gawin ngayon kung hindi ang matulog maghapon. I just feel like lying in our bed the whole day. Ewan ko ba. Imbis na relax at energetic ako ngayon dahil galing kaming bakasyon, mas pagod pa ako. Isn't it amazing?

Moving is the only thing I don't like doing today. But it seems like this sexy husband of mine won't let me have that freedom.

"Ano ba, Zachary?" inis na tanong ko habang pilit kong idinilat ang isang mata na patalikod ang higa sa kanya.

His scent was a mixture of pine trees and the ocean air. As if the smell of the Island embraced his entire soul. I felt him kissing the side of my neck that made me giggle.

"Zach, ano ba!" I hissed.

"You better wake up, baby." he murmured. "I have a surprise for you."

"Ano?"

Humalakhak siya. "Surprise pa din ba kapag sinabi ko sa'yo?"

Siniringan ko siya bago ako pumikit ulit. Pilosopo!

"Hey, I said wake up. Mamaya ka na lang ulit matulog." dinig kong sabi niya.

"Hindi ba 'yan makakapaghintay bukas?" I asked with my eyes still fully close.

"I guess not."

His long slender fingers started caressing my hair. It was slow and gentle, making my eyelids become heavier. "Stop doing that if you really want me to jump out of this bed,"

He let out a soft chuckle. "You really love me doing this to you, don't you?"

"I do," I replied in a hoarse voice. "Kaya puwede bang bukas na lang 'yang surprise mo?"

"As much as I want to let you, my wife, my surprise for you can't wait any longer."

Huminga ako ng malalim bago iminulat muli ang mga mata.

"Fine." I said giving up.

I knew him better. He wouldn't leave me until he would get what he wants. That's Zachary, my ever kulit husband.

"You really are the best," he said with a grin on his face.

My face turned into a sour expression. "Huwag mo na akong bolahin. Sasama na nga, e. Maliligo na muna ako."

Tumawa siya. "Take your time." aniya bago nagpunta sa couch at ipinatong ang dalawang paa sa center table bago binuksan ang tv.

"Kumain ka na ba?" I asked all of a sudden.

Muli siyang tumingin sa'kin. "Just a cup of coffee. Mom prepared you a special breakfast downstairs. You want me to bring it here, instead?"

Ngumiti ako. "Yes, please." Tumango siya at aasta na sanang tatayo para umalis. "Love..."

He slightly raised his thick black brow. "Yes, baby?"

"Gusto ko ng fruit salad," walang alinlangang saad ko. I feel like eating fresh cut fruits dipped in a sweetened milk. Oh, just by thinking of it makes me salivate!

Ngumiti siya. "Is that all?"

"Yes, thank you." Lumapit ako sa kanya at mabilis siyang hinalikan sa labi.
