"Mahal, ano na naman bang kasalanan ko?" Marco asked his wife who locked herself in the bathroom.
"Leave me alone! I don't want to talk to you!" Emily yelled behind the door he was leaning on.
"Tungkol pa ba din 'to sa sinabi ko sayo kanina? I told you I was just joking." Marco asked almost laughing.
"Shut up! Ayokong maka-usap ka! Mag-hiwalay na tayo!" Emily's really mad.
A moment ago, they were having their breakfast together with everyone. Emily's appetite was really good. She almost tried all the food on the table. Blame her cravings. She's three months pregnant. Everyone were happy about the good news. Specially Marco who had been so attentive with her. He wouldn't allow her to stay up late at night and over work herself. Very protective. He's always making sure to eat with her so he could give all her cravings. Very thoughtful. And he would always, as much as he can, stay with her every single day.
Going back to their breakfast. It's not Marco's intention to hurt her feelings or whatever it is but Emily really took what he have said seriously. She was on her third plate when Marco teased her. He told her that she might get fat if she would eat that much every day. She just pouted her lip which made him laugh together with everyone. But after they finished their meal, Emily head first to their room and locked herself inside the bathroom.
"Come on! Hihiwalayan mo ako dahil lang sinabi kong baka tumaba ka?"
"Yes, I will! I hate you. Kung mataba na ako sa paningin mo, edi maghanap ka ng seksing asawa!"
"Oy hindi ko sinabing mataba ka. Baka lang naman." And Marco didn't stopped himself from laughing.
"Ganon na rin yon! Sinabi mo na ngang mataba ako, tapos ngayon pinagtatawanan mo pa ako. I hate you, Marco!" Emily cried out loud.
"Mahal, kahit naman tumaba ka, ikaw parin ang pinaka-seksing babae sa paningin ko." Marco stopped laughing when he heard sniffs coming from the bathroom. Emily's crying. "Mahal, biro lang naman 'yon. Oy wag ka ng umiyak. Makakasama sa baby yan."
"You're only worried to the baby. Hindi mo na ako mahal!"
Marco mentally slapped himself. He would always find her so cute when she's mad at him that's why he would sometimes tease her. But looked like he went too far this time.
"Emily, sorry na. At anong hindi na kita mahal? Alam mo namang kahit kailan, hindi mawawala ang pagmamahal ko sayo diba? Baka ikaw, hindi mo na ako mahal." He made sure to sound hurt. "Kasi hindi ka naniniwalang mahal kita hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanngan."
Emily didn't say a thing not after almost a minute, "I'm not fat?" she whispered. Marco knew that she was standing behind the door.
"Syempre hindi! Ikaw na ata ang pinak-seksing buntis dito, eh!"
"Niloloko mo lang ako! Eh ako lang naman talaga ang buntis dito!" Emily hissed.
Marco shook his head, his smile slowly forming.
"Hindi ka talaga lalabas dyan?" He asked rather sounding serious.
"Hindi. Bakit? Sisirain mo 'tong pinto?"
He laughed. 'No. I have key. I can open this door whenever I want.' He thought but said, "Oo. Susuntokin at sisipain ko tong pinto hanggang sa masira." He chuckled and leaned his back on the door. "Pero dahil matigas tong pinto, mababalian ako ng buto at masusugatan. Mawawalan ako ng malay. Dadalhin ako nila tita Henya sa ospital. Tapos mauubosan ako ng dugo." He did sound crazy on what he said but who cares? He would do anything for her. And before he could finish his unbelievable story, Emily opened the door, and because he was leaning onto it, he fell and hit his butt on the floor.
"Ouch.."
"Marco!" Emily went on her knees to check on him. "Okay ka lang?" She asked worriedly.
He wasn't hurt really but he pretended like he was so Emily would forgive him.
"Ang sakit ng likod ko." He lied and smiled to himself.
"Ikaw naman kasi. Ano namang ginagawa mo sa mismong likod ng pintoan?" Emily scolded him. She helped him so he could stand and led him to their bed. She made him sit and caressed his face. "Sobrang sakit ba?" She asked.
Marco nodded like a kid.
Emily kissed his forehead.
"Medyo nawawala na." That's what all he needed from her. "Dito pa, mahal." He pointed his right cheek and tried to stop himself from smiling. Emily did what he told and kissed the other side which he pointed too. "Masakit din 'to." He said referring to his lips.
Emily raised her brow. "Pati yan, apektado?"
Marco nodded again pouting his lip.
"Niloloko mo na ako, eh." Emily mumbled making him laughed. He pulled her on his lap and hugged her by the waist. Emily instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Mabigat ako?" She worriedly asked pouting her lip. She was about to get off from his lap when he didn't answered.
"Biro lang." He chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Syempre hindi. Ang gaan-gaan mo nga, eh. Pwede ka dito sa kandungan ka buong maghapon."
"Bola." Emily said smiling by the way. She leaned her head unto his and hugged him even tighter.
"Sus, kailan pa ba kita binola?"
"Ngayon lang." Emily answered and giggled when he started to kiss her ears. Her ticklish spot. For Marco, it's always been so easy to make her smile, especially after they got married. Simple gestures can already make her happy.
"Ah ganon?" Marco tickled her by kissing her neck and poking her sides.
"Marco!" Emily squealed pushing him and they both fell on the bed, her giggles filled their room.**
