"JC! Come here!"
I stared at her. My wife. I never thought that this will be the end of us, Joyce.
"Hey. Magkakasakit ka." Pinatong niya ang towel sa ulo ko at tiningnan ako pabalik. "Ano?"
"You're beautiful.." Joyce.
"I know! Tara na!"
Nakahawak ang kamay niya sa likod at braso ko. Wala akong sakit pero inaalalayan niya pa ako.
Pagkasara ng pinto ng bahay ay biglang kumidlat at kumulog ng malakas. Napatalon si Kristine habang nakatakip ang kamay sa tainga.
This ain't Joyce, JC.
This is Kristine...
"Are you scared?" I asked her. Tumingin ito sa akin ng may luha sa mga mata.
A typical kind of girl.
Kumidlat muli. "Ahhh!" Sigaw niya at yumakap sa akin.
Hindi naman ganito ang panahon kanina.
Humiwalay siya ng yakap sa akin. Nahihiya.
"Magluluto ako ng pang hapunan pagkatapos ko maligo. Ikaw?" Tanong ko.
Hindi siya gaanong nabasa pero bumakat ang hugis ng dibdib niya sa suot niya.
"You like them?" She asked instead of answering me.
"Do what you want to do." I left her and went upstairs. "Uh... Which room?" I asked myself.
Dumaan sa gilid ko si Kristine at sinundan ko siya ng tingin. She has a curvy body, huh?
Why am I looking at it?
Sinundan ko siya at hiningian ng towalya.
Dumiretso ako sa cr ng kusina dahil gamit niya ang nasa taas. Hindi pa ako nangangalahati ng pagligo ng pumasok siya sa banyo ng walang saplot.
Nung una ay kinabahan ako pero naisip ko na mag asawa naman kami kaya hinayaan ko na lang siya.
"JC?" She attractively called me.
"Yes?-- fvck go out if you'll touch me." Madiin kong sabi.
"Why? I'm your wife." Malungkot niyang saad.
"Yes, but.." Joyce. I still love Joyce.
"But what? Stop thinking about her! She's gone for good! I know you love me! Please show me your love!"
"Go out. " I sighed.
This is it, right? I don't really know. Am I cheating to Joyce or cheating to Kristine? I love Joyce but I'm not a horny man that will just love Kristine because she's there. Hindi naman iyon ang habol ko kung naikasal kaming dalawa.
Sinuntok ko ang pader dala sa emosyong hindi ko malaman. I can be good to Kristine but I can't just touch her! Yes, I'm her husband and I have a responsibility to make love with her but I can't.
I'm not a good husband.
Tinapos ko ang pagligo ko at naabutan ko siyang nagluluto ng ulam.
"Paano ba 'to?"
She's holding a cooking guide and ladle. She's really trying her best to cook for me like a real wife. I'm now guilty. How can I be bad at her while she's doing her best for me?
How am I going to love her back?
I went upstairs to get my clothes but surprisingly there is a pair of comfy clothes in the bed.
