"Wax's Nightmare"

Wax Miguel

As much as I wanted to prolong my time to be with her on our hot bed, damn, I have to wake up and kick some ass today. My term as the mayor in Lemery has come to an end. Uh, well, I still have less than a year to finish. But I can't wait to be free. Even for a while.

Pupungas-pungas akong bumangon. I miss my wife already. I grinned. I'm always missing her. Kung pwede ko lang siyang ilagay sa bulsa ko, I will put her in there then maybe she can play with my... Agad akong napailing though it makes me hard. Loving my wife was like a breath of fresh air. She always makes me feel so special and clean too. Hindi ko alam kung paano niya iyon nagagawa sa akin.

Tumayo na ako at hinanap siya sa loob ng banyo. It's still early. "Love?" I scanned the bathroom; she's not here.

Ang sunod kong binuksan na pinto ay ang walk-in closet. "Love?" I scanned the room too. Wala rin siya.

Nagsuot ako ng pantalon at T-shirt. I went out of our room and looked for her in Anjeline's room. "Love." The room was empty so I closed the door.

Naririnig ko sa labas ang malakas na tili ni Miggy. Napailing ako. Hindi naman sa napapraning ako kapag hindi ko nakikita si Anjelous. Hindi lang ako matahimik kapag hindi ko siya nakikita pagmulat ng mga mata ko. She's like my vitamin. I need her like a drug. That's me. I love her so damn much I can't breathe without her. You can't blame me. I lost her once at hindi ko na gustong maulit pa iyon. The pain I had endured was fucking painful. I hate it.

When I first held her, I knew right then something has changed. When we first kissed, I despised to let her go from my arms. I found her. She went to me. Now, I can't stop loving her.

Pagkababa ay dumiretso agad ako sa labas. Naabutan kong naghahabulan sa garden sina Anjeline at Miggy. Miggy's laughter filled the place. My little boy. I smiled at my children.

Anjeline stopped and waved at me. "Good morning, Papa!"

I squatted and opened my arms. "Where's my morning kiss, babies?" nakangiti kong ungot sa dalawa kong anak.

Nagtakbuhan sa akin ang dalawa. Anjeline came first to give me a kiss on my cheek followed by my toddler Miggy.

"Where's your Mama, sweetheart?"

Natigilan si Anjeline. Ngumuso at nag-isip. "She said she's going to the grocery po, Papa," inosenteng sagot niya sa akin.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Nang ganito kaaga? Without even telling me before she left? "Sinong kasama?" I controlled my voice. I don't want to scare my baby.

"Mmm, she's with Ate Ephie, Papa," nakangiti niyang sagot.

Ginulo ko ang buhok ni Miggy at tumayo. Dahlia held his hand and went to play again. Nilingon ko ang tauhan kong nakatayo malapit sa gate. I really hate this feeling. Damn it. "May bantay ba ang asawa ko?" mataman kong tanong sa kanya.

He nodded. "Yes po, Mayor. Sina Michael po ang kasama nila."

I went back to our room and got my phone. I immediately dialed her number and waited patiently. She picked up but I asked her abruptly. "Where are you?!" I controlled my anger a little.

Hindi siya sumagot but I can hear her sighs.

"Anjelous," I grimly called her name.

Hindi siya ulit sumagot. Kumukulo na ang dugo ko at para na akong sasabog na bulkan dahil sa galit. Pero mahal ko siya. Hindi ko kayang magalit sa kanya kahit limang segundo man lang.
