"Kuya, just place it there na lang."

I pointed the place inside our walk-in closet, for the mini-sofa. Kakarating lang kasi ngayon nung binili naming mini-sofa pati na rin 'yong vanity chair. All set na ang walk-in closet, mga gamit na lang namin ang kulang. Before magstart ang classes naming dalawa, tsaka kami lilipat. 'Yon ang napag-usapan.

"Okay, kuya. Thank you." I once nod towards the delivery boy before he left. I closed the door and sat down on the couch, waiting for Aj to come home. His band are just having a meeting for their upcoming gigs this month. Actually, kakarating ko lang din dito dahil nga dineliver 'yong sofa and chair.

I decided to clean our unit habang wala pa si Aj. I cleaned off the dusts na makita ko. I cleaned the floor using broom and mop. I fixed our bathroom by putting our toiletries near the sink and on the shower rack, ganon din naman ang ginawa ko sa guest bathroom sa may malapit sa kitchen. I also fixed our kitchen, by putting the frozen groceries inside the refrigerator and the other groceries inside the kitchen cabinet. Pinunasan ko rin naman ang sink, sa may part ng lutuan, tables at kung ano pang makita ko duon sa kitchen. 

Kumpleto na ang gamit namin dito sa bahay. Mga personal na gamit na lang namin ang kulang. I sat on the couch at the sala muna to take some rest. Aantayin ko na lang makauwi si Aj para dalawa kaming mag-ayos ng room namin. Wala pa 'yong bed sheet sa kama dahil ayaw naming ilagay hangga't hindi pa kami lilipat kasi maaalikabukan lang.

I leaned my arm on the headrest of the sofa and put my hand on my head. Nag-iisip isip ako kung ano pa ba ang pwedeng ilagay sa condo para hindi boring tingnan. Inikot ko ang mata ko sa buong unit, It felt really surreal. I'm finally living with the love of my life, pakiramdam ko, mag-asawa na tuloy kami. Ang funny lang. 

Umayos ako nang upo nang marinig ko ang pagbubukas ng pinto. I saw Aj with his guitar and its guitar bag on his back, he looked tired. Wala akong alam kung ano ginawa niya buong araw, kasi hindi naman siya nagtext or tumawag. Hindi rin siya nagrereply sa text ko kaya baka sobrang busy. He placed his guitar on his side and sat beside me, letting out a heavy sigh. He leaned both of his arms on the headrest of the sofa and looked up, closing his eyes. 

"Are you okay? Tell me about your day." I placed my hand on his thigh. "Makikinig ako." I looked at him. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He massaged the bridge of his nose at umayos siya ng upo, facing me. 

"Wala namang nangyaring masama o ano. Pagod lang." He pulled me on my shoulders, para mayakap niya ko. "Okay na 'ko." He kissed the top of my head. 

"Are you sure?" I looked up to him.

"Yes, baby. I'm okay na." Malumanay niyang sabi.

"You should rest. Kumain ka na ba? Gusto mo magluto ako? Merienda lang." Sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa dibdib niya, while holding his arm with my hands. 

"Kumain na kami nila Sean sa labas, bago kami umuwi." He caressed my hair. 

"Okay, sige. Ano gusto mo gawin? Gusto mo magpahinga? Kasi, you should rest. You've done enough today." I looked up to him again.
