When the Sun hides

Eleven

I stretched my arms and moved to the other side of the bed. I was looking for a pillow to hug when I noticed that I was alone in this huge bed. I opened my eyes, the right one first to confirm. Wala na nga akong katabi.

I put some clothes on before stepping out of our room.

A mouth-watering smell of sinangag and fried bangus was my direction towards him.

"Good morning." I greeted him and stood beside him. He glanced down at me and put a peck on my lips.

"Good morning, Langga." I blushed. He looked so sexy wearing an apron.

"Ang aga mo magising." Sabi ko pa.

"Gusto kita ipagluto ng breakfast." Kinikilig ako. "Happy anniversary." Sabay halik ulit sa akin.

Oo nga pala. Today is our fifth year of being together.

"Happy anniversary. Ano'ng gusto mong gawin today?" I asked.

"Marami akong gustong gawin sayo" sagot niya naman habang may nakakalokong ngiti sa mga labi.

"Ha?" Kunwari hindi ko nalang pinansin ang ibig niyang sabihin.

"I want to cook foods for you. Ako muna ang in-charge sa kusina." Ah. Ayun naman pala. Haha. Assuming ka masyado, Cat!

"Confident ka na sa cooking skills mo, ha." Sabi ko pa. Ngumiti naman siya sa akin. "How can I help?" Umiling siya bago sumagot.

"Upo ka lang doon. I can manage this." And he smiled at me. I did the same and went to the living room. Nagpunas punas at naglinis nalang muna ako.

Ang ganda ng panahon.

A good day in a good place with the best man. Can life just always be this perfect?

Few more minutes and he called me, saying the food was ready.

"Hmm. Masarap nga." I commented after having a spoonful. His lips curved upwards. "Ang galing mo na talaga magluto."

"Ang ganda ng panahon. Gusto mo turuan na kita mag-swimming." Suhwestiyon niya habang nakangiti pa rin sa akin. Mabilis akong tumango "How's work? Ayos naman ba?" Tanong niya pa.

"Okay lang. Medyo busy lang kami kasi may bagong Operations process. Ikaw? Kumusta?"

"I'm fine. Some events are postponed dahil nga may sakit sina Josh at Justin. Pero may konting advantage din dahil nakakapagpahinga kami."

"Kaya ikaw, matulog ka ng maaga. Huwag mo rin kakalimutan inumin ang Vitamins mo. Kumain ng gulay at uminom ng maraming tubig."

"Opo, Ma'am. Noted po." Sagot niya habang tatawa tawa. Napangiti nalang din ako.

"Parang ang sarap lang mahiga buong araw ngayon." Sabi ko.

"We can just stay in bed." Sagot niya naman agad. I narrowed my eyes as I noticed his salacious smile.

"Naku, tumigil ka nga." I know what he is thinking.

Pagkatapos namin kumain ay nagpalit na rin ako ng damit. I wore my swimsuit dahil nga may swimming lesson kami ngayon. I checked myself on the mirror. Medyo tumaba na talaga ako. I have baby fats already. I really need to do some exercise and dieting.

Hindi ko alam pero mas naging body conscious ako nang dumami na ang humahanga kay Ken.

From the doorway of the living room adjacent to the garden, I saw him enjoying the water. His tanned skin was glistening under the light of the sun. His toned abs and proof of his workout are visible and I am so lucky to be the first to see it. His wet hair made him look sexy. His pointed nose is what to be envied for. And his Cupid's bow lips are so damn attractive. He is like a Greek God. He was only clearing off the waters on his face but it looked like he was modelling and doing a TV Commercial. No matter what he does, he's always picture-perfect.
