Maaga akong ginising ng alarm clock ko today. It is still seven o'clock in the morning but I am really planning to wake up early. It's Sunday and I will be going to the church. Umuwi kami kahapon from Ilocos at exactly 12 noon. Nag-swimming pa kasi kami ng half-day at nag-bond since my family and friends were there. Thanks to Ryseann, he really brought everyone yesterday.

Gabi na rin kami nakauwi and I immediately went to sleep. Sobrang pagod ko din kasi and my body needs rest. Ngayon nalang ako ulit nagising and feeling ko naman sapat na rin ang pahinga ko.

I checked my cellphone and hindi ko napigilan ang pagngiti ko cause Ryseann's messages surprised me.

From: Engineer Santos
Message: Nakauwi na ba kayo future wife ko?

From: Engineer Santos
Message: I asked Kuya Hans and he told me na nakauwi naman na daw kayo. I'm home now future wife.

From: Engineer Santos
Message: Maybe you're asleep now. Thanks for the day Rish. Sweet dreams and rest well. See you tomorrow.

I am about to reply na natulugan ko na siya kagabi and magso-sorry na din sana ako cause I feel a bit guilty. I just agreed na magpaligaw na ulit sa kanya last Friday. I am opening my heart to him again and I am more ready to love him again. I will never be afraid this time cause he promised to keep me for our lifetime.

I know he will.

Another messaged from him popped up.

From: Engineer Santos
Message: Good Morning future wife!

Tss. Napangiti nalang ako sa message niya. I tapped on the keyboard of my cellphone to construct a reply for him.

To: Engineer Santos
Message: Good morning Ryseann. Are you busy today?

Akala ko he will reply pa but seconds passed and lumabas ang contact niya sa phone. Bigla akong kinabahan kasi bigla nalang din siyang tumawag. What if pangit ang boses ko kasi kagigising ko palang? Argh! I am starting to get conscious again.

"Hello."

[Good Morning future wife. How's your sleep?]

"It's good. Nakapahinga naman ako nang mabuti. I-ikaw? How was your sleep?" I asked him.

[My sleep was great cause I kept on dreaming about you.]

Wala sa ayos akong napairap. Nakahiga palang ako sa kama ko but I feel like jumping already. Kung pwede nga lang magpagulong-gulong pa ako dito sa kama ko eh. I can't hide my kilig whenever he speak sweet words towards me. Hindi tuloy ako kaagad na nakasagot sa kanya dahil sinubukan ko pang pigilan ang kilig ko.

"Uhm... are you busy?"

[No. Why did you ask?]

"Let's go to church and let's attend a mass. That is kung libre ka lang naman and if okay lang naman sayo. Uhm... it's fine kung hindi—"

[Okay. Mag-ayos ka na future wife. Mag-breakfast ka ha?]

"Yes. Thank you Ryseann." I smiled when I ended the call.

I start taking a bath after I ended the call. I showered tapos nagsabon ako nang nagsabon. Routine ko naman ang magtagal sa CR but this time, I intentionally extended my time. I made sure na walang matitirang ni isang dumi o alikabok sa katawan ko. I really want to make my skin soft and smooth. Nagbabad pa ako sandali sa bath tub and after that, I did my skincare routine.
