"Are you sure you're gonna be fine along the road? Kanina ka pa suka ng suka e. We can back out if you want to and instead stay at home." my husband uttered worriedly, softly caressing my back. Yes, I'm actually encountering a morning seizure right now.

"What? No. Let's push through it." I said. "Sayang, okay? Gusto ko rin makalanghap ng simoy ng preskong hangin. Tsaka ikaw tong nag-aya no! So pleaaaase, wala lang to love. I can manage." I fixed the pink cardigan that I'm wearing for protective measures.

"You're certain about it?"

"Mm-mmm. I'm 100% sure. Kaya let's go bago pa tayo masikatan ng araw at matrapik sa daan!" I squealed sabay hila sa kanya patungo sa sasakyan.

I let go of his hand when we arrived at his driver's seat. Hindi ko na siya inabala at ako na ang nagbukas ng sarili kong pintuan. I buckled my seatbelt for safety purposes, making sure na hindi masyadong naipit tong sinapupunan ko. I looked at my husband who's actually touching the rosary and making a sign of the cross, asking guidance on our trip before we went off.

After a 30 minute drive, nakalampas na kami ng mga tolling sites at nasa boundary na ng Hilagang Luzon to Metro Manila. We're actually going upwards now and I'm so sure about it. I have never been to Zambales, sa narinig ko rin ay doon rin namamalagi ang mga magulang ni Ogie. Also, hindi ko pa rin sila nakikita personally, pretty ironic isn't it? Well, it's true.

Nakikita ko lang sila sa mga pictures na nasa ibabaw ng shelf ni Ogie and to think na bata pa siya that time, so I couldn't really imagine how smooth our marriage was. Ni walang aberya sa panig ng magulang niya, hindi ko rin naman magawang magtaka dahil sobrang dali ng prosesong iyon at bulag ako sa katotohanang magpapakasal nga ako sa taong mahal na mahal ko.

I think...Ogie has a private, independent life ever since the world began. Maybe his parents let him do what he wants, make decisions for himself, work hard for himself, all for himself. It's a good thing though. Natututo kang tumayo sa sarili mong mga paa nang may natutunan sa bawat pagkakataon na madadapa ka sa daan. Pero iba pa rin yung may gabay ng mga magulang e...but I don't know. I can't judge people like that so easily especially I do not know the real story.

Frankly speaking, ang dami ko pang hindi alam tungkol sa asawa ko. I may be a stalker-like admirer back then but that couldn't be enough on how vulnerable he could show on his wife—I never seen that vulnerability for the past years. I still am lacking of some quality information about my husband and I am so happy he took me to where he came from, I am so happy that I got the chance to know about her parents after such a long time of not seeing them personally.

I noticed that we actually stopped on a...Jollibee branch? In this kind of a provincial road, may pa-ganito na pala sila? I mean, I only know gasoline stations everywhere along the road but not food chains like these. But it's really, really a good thing. Sakto, gutom na rin ako.

We gladly waited for our turn since medyo maraming sasakyan ang nakapila sa drive-thru area. "Hello sir. What's your order for this morning?"

Binaling ni Ogie ang mga mata niya sa'kin. "So, what do you want love? Anything you would prefer to eat?"

"Malapit na ba tayo?" Out of the blue kong tanong.

He jested a laugh with that random question I fired on him...or reply perhaps. "Sa bahay nila Mommy, yes. We'll stay there for the meantime. So, what do you want nga?" he said. Alam kong nagmamadali na ito kasi may mga nakasunod pa sa'min at nilalagay namin sa alanganin ang incharge ng orders. Sorry naman.
