that evening (jungri ff)

101

"Diana, dinner is ready" I heard Dave's voice outside. Kahapon pa ako hindi lumalabas after namin sa wedding and also sa dinner kasama ang family namin.

It was very simple. Kami lang and then 'yung judge. Umuwi na din sila daddy kaninang umaga.

"Coming" I answered. Wala lang talaga ako sa mood na lumabas. Ewan ko ba, I feel so tired. And I think, I need a rest.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto ay nandon pa din s'ya. Inantay n'ya talaga ako siguro na lumabas dahil kahapon ko pa s'ya inii-scam.

"Are you okay? May sakit ka ba?" umiling ako. Inalis din n'ya ang kamay n'ya na inilagay sa noo ko.

"Come on. You must be hungry" sumunod ako sa kanya sa pagbaba ng hagdan.

Pagdating namin sa dinning area ay nakahain na ang niluto n'ya. We both seated, and started the meal quietly.

"Do you have any plans tomorrow?" he suddenly asked. Umiling ako bilang sagot.

"When will I sign the annulment papers?" I saw he frowned with my question.

"Huh? Why are you so excited about it?" he bitterly laughed. No I am not, I wanted to blurted out. But I chose to pursed my lips.

"Don't worry we'll sign that once we get back home" tumango ako at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

"Should we enjoy our stay here while we are still husband and wife?" kinunutan ko s'ya ng noo. "What do you mean?"

"Come on, let's act like a newly weds" Gago ba s'ya? Gusto nya ba talagang saktan 'yung damdamin ko?

"If that's what you like" Fuck.

"Sure. Get ready tommorow. We will be like a tourist." natawa ako dahil sa sinabi n'ya. Wow ha, did he planned this?

"Saan tayo pupunta?" I asked him.

"It's for you to find out" he even winked! Ang pa fall ha.

"Wash the dishes wife"

"What the frick is that wife?" I cringed.

"Why?"

"You looked so stupid" inirapan ko s'ya at natawa lang naman s'ya.

Gaya ng utos n'ya ay ako ang naghugas ng pinagkainan namin. Habang s'ya ay nakasandal sa ref at pinanonood ako.

"Para kang bobo, ikaw na kaya maghugas dito" hindi ko s'ya nilingon because I felt awkward.

"In another life, I would be your man" natigil ako sa paghuhugas dahil sa bigla n'yang pagkanta. "What are you doing?"

"We keep all our promises be us agaisnt the world" he just keep staring at me.

"In another life I will make you stay," I should be the one who will make you stay, stupid.

"So I don't have to stay you were the one that got away, the one that got away" I pursed my lips.

He makes the atmosphere awkward now!

"You.. should.. be a singer" ang ganda kaya ng boses n'ya.

"I like to be your husband more" umiling ako ng ilang beses bago bumalik sa ginagawa ko.

"I hate this" he almost whispered. I turned around for me to see him but I bumped on his chest.

"Whaㅡ" he suddenly gave me a smack. It was like the kiss on our wedding but it make me stunned.

"Holding you tight like this," he held my wet hands and placed it on his bare face.

"And stupidly let you go after"
