"Joke lang. Magpasalamat ka pa nga sa'kin at nakakain ka diba? I bet you barely ate anything to avoid your tummy getting upset," he trailed off. I arched a brow on him. "Why do I know all of that? Remember nung pumunta tayo ng Tagaytay tapos nagsuka ka along the way?"
Shit. Nakita niya pala yun! E nasa kabilang kotse sila nun e!
I dropped my spoon and fork. "Grabe, nawalan na ako ng gana. Hiyang-hiya na ako sa sarili ko ha," I jokingly said. Actually, tapos na talaga ako kumain. I opened my Yum burger and started munching.
"You're still the most beautiful woman to me." he took a bite and chewed his food.
Pagkatapos kong babuyin lahat ng kinain ko—joke charot lang. After I ate all my food, nagshare naman kami ni Ogie sa fries at sundae. Leche, para kaming mga highschool students na nag d-date. Nakakaloka, buti nalang walang nakakakilala sa'min sa dami ng taong andito ay maari nila kaming picturan. Oh noes.
"Wag ka na magluto, I won't eat dinner already. Busog na busog na ako." he retorted. "Parang sasabog na ata ako sa pinakain mo sa'kin!"
"Kasalanan mo yun, sabi mo naman kasi sa'kin hindi ka pa naglunch tapos malalaman ko na joke lang yun? Digital na ang karma ngayon," I fired back. Tumawa naman siya sa mga pinagsasasabi ko. It was so nice to hear him laugh like that.
"Can I stop by your office? May kama naman dun, dun nalang ako matutulog," I pleaded. "Boring naman kasi sa bahay. At least alam kong safe ako kasi kasama kita."
"I was waiting for you to say that." he chuckled. "Anytime, love."
Yes! After we ate, agad naman kaming lumabas sa Jollibee. We instantly went inside the car on the same setup. Ogie was humming together with the music in the radio. Syempre, we were known as the Peter Cetera and Cher in our days. Videokeros' videokeras ata to.
"After all the stops and starts, we keep coming back through these two hearts...two angels have been rescued from the fall...and after all that we've been through, and it all comes down to me and you...I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all..."
Parehas naman kaming napalingon at napatawa sa isa't isa. We just impromptu-ly harmonized well with each other. He abruptly held my hand, I can feel his warmth through his skin. He kissed my fingers and handled those with care. Napangiti naman ako sa ginawa niya.
"I love you." he uttered out of the blue. Hindi naman ako nakasagot kaagad dahin abot langit ho ang ngiti ko. Hmmmmmf. "Wala bang I love you too dyan?" he grumpily said.
"Fine. I love you too." Kinikilig kong sabi. "Magfocus ka na nga sa pag-ddrive." Sita ko naman sa kanya.
"Yes, madam." he said, chuckling.
Hindi naman nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa opisina niya. As usual, pagpasok namin ay pinagtitinginan kami ng mga empleyado niya. He told me not to mind them and I just have to hold his hand for security. And I think that's nice. Napangiti nalang ako sa ginawa niya. How many times did this man made me smile? I lost count.
He opened his office door and I jumped on his bed immediately. Damn, ang lambot lambot, parang makakatulog ata ako ng mahimbing nito. Haaaaay. Tinanggal naman ni Ogie ang blazer niya at umupo na rin sa lugar kung saan ay babalik na siya sa trabaho niya.
"Matutulog lang ako, ha?" I said to him. "Baka I'll make creepy and annoying sounds that might disturb you while sleeping..."
"I won't mind." he smiled at me. "Sleep well, love. Andito lang ako, babantayan kita." he uttered.
I smiled as I drifted myself to sleep...
...but disturbed when someone got into the room.
"Herminio Jose!!!!" it was a woman with a stingy, deep voice. I couldn't explain how possible that voice is, but as what I heard, ganun talaga ang boses nito. "Here's the files that you need."
"Hinaan mo nga yang boses mo Zsa, you're disturbing someone who's asleep." Yes, I'm pretending to be asleep right now.
"Oh? Is it your 'friend'?" she said with an annoying tone.
"Stop being so nosy. Si Regine." patay-malisya niyang sabi. "So shush down."
"Whatever, I don't care about your wife as much as you do." she spitted out. "Or perhaps...nagbago ka na? Kailan ka pa naging concerned sa asawa mo?"
"Just...lately. I'm giving her the chance. Naisip ko kasi nagiging unfair na ako sa kanya. She doesn't deserve all of those hate coming from her own husband. Kahit respeto lang ang maibibigay ko sa kanya, that would be a big help." he explained. "So please, don't you dare hurt her. Nagbago na ako."
I heard a slow clap...maybe coming from Zsazsa? "Wow, I can't believe those words just came from your mouth ha. Minamahal mo na pala ang rason kung bakit namatay si Michelle."
Napabuntong-hininga si Ogie. "Nabalot lang ako ng galit at sakit." He reasoned out.
"Are you sure? For fifteen years, ngayon pa lang nawala?" pangungulit ni Zsazsa.
"Hindi ganun kadaling mag move on, yes, fifteen years kong inayos ang sarili ko at kinamuhian si Regine. Naitali ko pa nga siya ng wala sa oras kahit labag sa loob ko. Stupidity and dumbness enclosed me. Pero see, divorcing me never crossed her mind. Nagtiis siya, and she doesn't deserve that. I have to pay her back for what she endured for." sambit nito.
"O, naaawa ka lang sa kanya? Iba ang utang na loob sa totoong pagmamahal, Ogie." she said. "Kung ginagawa mo lang to dahil thankful ka lang sa ginagawa niya, then stop it. Masasaktan mo lang siya."
He paused for a moment. "Mahal ko siya, matagal na. May feelings na ako sa kanya. Concerned na ako sa kanya dati pa. And of course, hindi mahirap mahalin ang isang Regine Velasquez."
"Michelle is listening." Pangungutya pa nito. Tangina, you're pushing my husband on his limits!
"Narealize ko rin na...I shouldn't dwell myself on the dead. Hindi ko dapat nilulubog ang pagmamahal ko sa isang patay na tao. Hindi dapat maging hadlang iyon para magmahal muli. For sure, if she really is listening, naiintindihan niya ako at sang-ayon siya sa mga pinagsasabi ko ngayon. Kung mahal niya ako, hahayaan niya akong magmahal ulit."
"At sa bestfriend niya pa?" She jolted. "Hahayaan ka niyang magmahal ulit pero sa ibang babae at hindi kay Regine."
"Mas maganda nga yun kasi alam niya na sa tamang babae ako napunta. Alam niya na aalagaan ako ni Regine at kasama ko siyang tatanda. Alam niya na mahal na mahal ako ni Regine, at ako rin man."he briefly said.
"How can you be so sure, huh?" nagtanong na naman ito at binigyan ako ng dahilan para bumangon.
"Tangina Zsazsa. Hindi mo ba nakikitang natutulog ako at nagtatrabaho ang asawa ko?" I ran my fingers through my hair. "Lumabas ka dito kung ayaw mong makaladkad pababa ng building na 'to."
