"Sarap naman non", he said smiling when the kiss ended.
"Paraparaan ka eh"
"Di ko kasi kinaya eh. Totoo ba 'to? Sinasagot mo na 'ko?"
"Hmm-yaw mo?"
"GUSTO! Naniniguro lang"
She smiled.
"Weakness ko 'yan eh"
"Alin?"
"Yan, yang ngiti mo. Ang ganda eh"
She didn't answer instead she smiled wider.
"Nilakihan pa. Ang swerte ko. Totoo ba? Girlfriend na kita?"
She didn't answer still.
"Oy, bakit di nasagot? Nagbago na isip mo?"
"Eh baka pag sinagot ko 'yan mawalan ka uli ng malay"
"Talaga. Lalo na kung may kiss", he said winking at her.
"Ay nako"
"Hahaha. Joke lang. Sige na.. Gusto ko marinig uli. Di na ko mahihimatay"
She faced him and cupped his face.
"Oo, sinasagot na kita", she said smiling.
"Sarap", he uttered before passing out, again.
"Sinasabi ko na eh. Hay naku, Richard. Bahala ka diyan"
"Richard? Tumayo ka na diyan"
"Ayaw talaga?"
When she got no response, she leaned closer but not to kiss him. Her hands travelled from his foot up to his knee slowly caressing it's skin. She saw him bite his lip. She smiled.
"Kaya na pala magkagat labi ng mga taong nahihimatay ngayon no? That is so hot", she said with a sultry voice as her hand continue to travel on the skin of his leg, to his thigh, up to his....
"DEI!", he screamed sitting up.
I guess I have my own way on how to wake up my sleeping Richard.
Dei laughed out loud.
"Ayon, nagising din"
"Dalawa na kaming gising, Dei"
"Hala"
"Ikaw eh. Pa-shower na lang ha?", he asked.
"Sige", she answered chuckling.
"Pagtawanan pa ako", he said scratching his head as he went to her bathroom.
"O? Bakit ganyan ka maglakad? Para kang may pilay", she teased.
"Nang-asar pa, mamaya ka sakin"

An hour later Richard's parents came to his unit, followed by Jani and his girlfriend to congratulate the new couple.
"Dei, ang sarap nitong kare-kare mo", Rio said, while eating.
They were on the dining area. The newcomers eat, while Dei and Richard sat with them.
"Yes Dei, this tastes so good! Anong sikreto mo?", Shiela- Jani's girlfriend- asked.
"Mani. Nasa mani talaga ang sikreto", she answered.
Richard Jr., Jani and Richard Sr. coughed in unison then they all drink a glass of water.
"Are you guys okay?", Shiela asked.
Jani nodded.
"Oo iha"
"Yeah. Ka-kain lang kayo"
"Kanina ka pa inuubo?", Dei whispered to Richard massaging his back.
"I'm okay, love"
She turned red upon hearing what he said.
"Hala, namula. Okay lang ba? Na love ang itawag ko sa'yo?"
She nodded, keeping a smile but her lips failed her.
"Eeeeeehhh ang sweet nila babe", Shiela said to Jani.
"Hmm.. Richard ha? Alagaan mo kapatid ko"
"Opo"
"Naku, subukan niya lang lokohin si Dei at kalimutan na niyang may nanay siya"
They all laugh.
"Aba? Hindi ako nag-jojoke. Seryoso ako"
"Ma, hindi ko sasaktan to", he said and hugged her infront of her kuya, infront of his parents. She is damn lucky.
She hugged him back and buried her face on his chest to hide her biggest smile.
After dinner they chat for a little then Jani said he will take Shiela home before it gets late, even Richard's parents bid their goodbyes as well, but before they leave, Rio handed Dei an envelope.
"Bago ko malimutan, debut na ni Angel next month. She wants you to be there Dei. At sobrang happy niya daw for you and Richard. Wag ka daw sana manawa", she said giggling.
Dei smiled and took the envelope.
"Dei, punta ka ha? You're a family now"
"Opo ti-"
"Mommy. Mommy na, simula ngayon", she corrected.
"Mommy", she whispered teary eyed.
"Dei, anak", Rio, said hugging her tight.
"Una na kami", she said after their hug.
"Thank you po", she said as she gripped her hand.
"No, thank you Dei. Thank you"
They both smiled.
"Asan ba ang CR ni Richard dito? Nasira ata ang make-up ko, bata ka, pinaiyak mo 'ko", Rio joked.
"Richard, asan ba ang CR mo?"
"This way Ma", Richard led his mother on the bathroom but before her mother could enter, he called her.
"Ma, yung sa birthday ni Angel...a-attend pa ba si Jessica?"
"Oo, didn't Angel inform you about her presence?"
"She did. Pero Ma-", he said looking at Dei who's chatting happily with his father.
"Richard, may problema ba?"
"Wala, wala Ma"
Wala naman sigurong magiging problema.
