Chapter 21

Days passed by so fast and they are already 2 married for two years now. Annika is doing great in her career that in span of two years, she was able to get the Managerial Position on their department. Everything was because of her hard work and support of her team. Marcus was so proud of her and even treats them out for dinner.

"Congratulations ulit, Ika." bati ni Lou, isa sa mga ka-team ni Annika.

"Thank you, Lou. Kung hindi rin naman dahil sa tulong ninyo hindi ko maabot itong posisyon." masayang sagot ni Annika.

"Naku, girl kahit wala ang tulong namin kayang kaya kasi magaling ka." sabi naman ni Rada. At um-agree naman ang lahat.

"You are really great, sweetheart." puri naman ni Marcus sa asawa. At tinukso naman ito ng lahat na kinainit ng pisngi ni Annika.

"May balak na po ba kayo mag-baby ni Ika, Sir? para po may bagong kalaro ang mga anak namin pag company outing." tanong ni Lou.

"Paano ba yan sweetheart pini-pressure ka na ng teammates mo na magka-baby na tayo?" tukso naman ni Marcus kay Annika. Sabay halik nito sa noo.

"Ang sweet talaga! Sana sinama ko pala yung girlfriend ko." sabi naman ni Chino. At nagtawanan ang lahat. They continue celebrating Annika's promotion and even went to a Music Lounge. Pero ng mag-alas diyes na ay nag-aya na umuwi si Marcus at dahil gusto na rin magpahinga ni Annika ay sumang-ayon na ito.

"Guys, mauuna na kami umuwi." paalam ni Marcus saka sila tumayo na mag-asawa.

"Sir, ang aga pa." hirit ni Rada.

"Maybe next time, gusto na umuwi ng asawa ko para magka-sexy time naman kami." biro nito. Sinaway naman ito ni Annika pero tinukso na sila ng mga katrabaho nya.

"Go ahead sir, mukhang gagawa na kayo ng baby hindi po namin kayo pipigilan." sagot naman ni Chino. Tumawa naman ang iba.

"Salamat sa suporta, Chino. Para mangyari na yung gusto ni Lou sa sunod na company outing."

"Marcus, let's go na. Nakakahiya." saway ulit ni Annika.

"See guys? my wife is really excited to go home. So, see you all tomorrow." hirit ulit ni Marcus na lalong kinapula ni Annika.

"Ang kulit. Tara na. Bye everyone, ingat kayo paguwi." paalam ni Annika saka hinatak na ang asawa palabas.

Nang makauwi sila ay humirit nga si Marcus ng sexy time sa asawa at pinagbigyan na ito ni Annika para di na ito mangulit dahil pagod na sya. They had just one round dahil pagod na talaga si Annika at gusto na nito magpahinga. After doing it, he hugged her and resting her head on his chest.

"Sweetheart." masuyong tawag ni Marcus dito. She just answered him with a "hmm" while her eyes are already closed.

"Can I stop using a condom--"

"Okay. I'll take pills." mabilis na sagot ni Annika.

"No, what I meant was...gusto ko ng mag-baby na tayo." he said. Para naman nawala bigla yung antok ni Annika at napabukas ito ng mata.

"But--"

"2 years na tayong kasal, you have a great career and I'm the same. We're ready to have a baby." paliwanag nito. Napa-upo si Annika sa takbo ng usapan nila. Marcus felt uncomfortable with the reaction that he is getting from his wife.

"But I just got promoted, Marcus. Saka kakatapos ko lang mapagawa yung bahay nila lola at mabayaran ng buo ang lupain namin sa probinsya." she explained.

"Then you are already done with your promise to them. Saka I can help you with your future plans para sa kanila. I am not stopping you on helping them if that is what you are worried about." he holds her hand.

"Hindi naman yun tungkol lang dun. I am not ready yet to get pregnant, Marcus. I have plans but that doesn't include having a baby yet." Nakita ni Annika kung gaano nalungkot si Marcus sa sinabi nya.

"But what about me? what about our plan? diba automatic naman yun sa nagmamahalan na pag-nagpakasal ay bubuo sila ng pamilya..magkaka-anak." She sighed.

"I'm not ready yet, Marcus. I'm sorry." sagot ni Annika saka bumalik sa pagkakahiga. Humiga na rin si Marcus at niyakap ang asawa mula sa likuran nito. Kissing her head.

"Can you at least think about, Annika? Please?" trying to convince her.

"I-I can't promise." sagot nito kay Marcus.

"That's unfair." inis na sabi ni Marcus saka pinakawalan ang asawa sa yakap nito. Natulog silang may distansya at hindi magkaharap.

When Annika wokes up, naramdaman na lang nya na nasa ibabaw nya si Marcus. Kissing her neck and massaging her bre-st.

"Good morning." bati nito kay Annika at saka hinalikan sya sa labi.

"G-Good morning." she hesitantly answered. Naguguluhan ito sa inaakto ng asawa dahil sa pagkakatanda nya natulog sila na hindi ayos.

"We're not going to work today." he said.

"W-What?" and she made him stop on what he is doing.

"Kailangan ko pumasok, first day ko as Manager today." she said trying to get up but Marcus pinned her down to bed.

"No. Your husband is the boss remember? so it doesn't matter if you go to work today or not." and kissed her neck. She pushed him away from her.

"Stop it. Don't act like a kid again, Marcus. We need to go to work. Kung ayaw mo, ako na lang. You stay here." inis na sabi ni Annika.

"I can fire you." seryosong sagot nito sa asawa.

"Ha?" nagulat si Annika sa sinabi nito.

"I can fire you. I'm the boss, my say. Ayaw ko pa nun, you'll just stay here in our house." saka ito umalis sa ibabaw ni Annika.

"What the hell are you talking about?" lalong nainis si Annika sa sinabi ni Marcus.

"What I'm saying is, it's either we continue on what we are doing or you will lose your job." seryoso pa rin sagot ni Marcus. Annika is beginning to worry on how Marcus is acting right now. She's not used on dealing with this. Kita ni Annika kung gaano kaseryoso si Marcus sa sinabi nito.

"Tungkol pa rin ba ito sa pinag-usapan natin kagabi?" nagaalalang tanong ni Annika.

"This is about whether we continue where we left of or you'll lose what you worked hard for?"

"Okay." hindi na alam ni Annika ang gagawin.

"Okay on what? please be clear, sweetheart."

"To continue on what you're doing..."

"Sweetheart, hindi masaya pag ako lang. Come here and kiss me." parang robot na sumunod sa utos ng asawa si Annika. He laid her down to bed and started kissing her neck again.

"I love you, sweetheart."

"I-I love you..too."

To be continue...
