WARNING: SPG!!!
ANG TANAWIN mula dito sa isang five-star hotel na tinuluyan namin ni Roderick ay sadyang nakakabighani. Tila awtomatikong nawala ang pagod ko sa mahigit labintatlong oras na biyahe namin kanina at gusto ko na lang magpakasasa sa ganda ng mga instrukturang tanaw mula sa veranda nitong hotel, dagdagan pa nitong nanghahalinang pinong buhangin ng beach resort sa baba.
"Aren't you going to rest, asawa ko?"
Bahagya akong napaigtad nang maramdaman ko ang paglingkis ng mga braso ng asawa ko mula sa likuran. Sa unang pagkakataon, napangiti ako sa jejemong endearment niya sa akin at okay, kinilig na rin nang slight.
For heaven's sake naman kasi, asawa ko na for real itong lalaking dati lang ay crush ko! It's a rare case at kapag nangyari sa'yo 'yun, maswerte ka na kung tatawagin.
"You need a lot of energy later. You better rest now," bulong nito sa aking tainga dahilan para bahagya akong manginig sa kiliting hatid ng kanyang paghinga.
Okay. As per advice of my gorgeous yet sensual husband, I left the breathtaking view of Amalfi Coast and took a rest. Alas singko ng hapon iyon at nagising ako bandang alas otso y media dahil sa kamay na humihimas sa dibdib ko.
"Rod... ano ba?" I groaned and slapped his hand. Hindi naman siya nagpaawat at tinuloy-tuloy ang paglalaro sa nipples ko na akala mo fidget spinner iyon na pinapaikot-ikutan niya ng kanyang daliri.
"Love, I hate to disturb your sound sleeping but you need to wake up now."
Kinusot-kusot ko ang namumungay ko pang mga mata saka tinapunan siya ng matalim na tingin.
"Are you that horny, Roderick, para istorbuhin talaga ang tulog ko? Alam mo naiisip ko tuloy iyon na lang ang habol mo kaya mo 'ko pinakasalan!" I snapped, but immediately regreted what I said when he pulled back his hand and hurt registered in his eyes.
"Shit," I swore under my breath when I realized how insensitive my remark was! Ito ang ayaw ko kapag iniistorbo ako sa pagtulog e, nagiging mainitin ang ulo ko.
"R-Rod-"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, Krisel, it's okay. I was just supposed to tell you that dinner's ready."
Lumipad ang tingin ko sa lamesang nakapwesto sa veranda. Guilt crept more in me when I saw how it was decorated with so much effort. There were rose's petals scattered on the floor that created a path from this bed on the way to the romantic candlelit table.
Sunod-sunod ang mahina kong pagmumura. I hated myself for ruining our honeymoon this early!
"Come on, let's eat," he smiled a bit, stood up and offer a hand to pull me up.
Napatanga ako sa harapan niya. It still amuses me how Rod changed over the years. I've known him for more than twelve years now, we've been engaged for four years and so I was able to witness him becoming a better and better version of himself every single year.
The old Roderick Tuangco would've scolded or punished me for my bad attitude. But now that he's a changed man, he became more patient and understanding, the reasons why I keep on falling for him every day.
"Hey, don't cry. I'm not mad, okay? Let's eat now, asawa ko. Naririnig ko na'ng nagrereklamo mga alaga mo sa tiyan," he joked to make the atmosphere lighter. That and his sweet gestures overwhelmed me, making me shed a tear. Pinalis niya ang tumakas na luha sa aking mata saka marahan akong niyakap.
Oh God, what's the good thing I did in the past to deserve a man like Rod?
The dinner was simple, romantic and pretty decent. Masasarap ang pagkain plus marami kaming napagkwentuhang mag-asawa. Mula sa mga plano ko ngayong degree holder na ako hanggang sa mga buhay pag-ibig ng mga kaibigan at kamag-anak namin.
