"I'm tired, let's just talk tomorrow." She said.
His jaw clenched. Alam niyang kanina pa sinusubukan ng binata na pahabain pa ang pasensya, and she was so close on giving in to him. Pero nagkagulo pa rin ang isip niya. So many why's on her head.
Why did he gave her the heirloom ring when she declared to him from the very beginning that they won't last.
But he's trying to make their marriage work and so she is, does it mean she will remain as Benjamin forever?
She can't answer that just for a minute nor over night. Kailangan niyang pag-isipan ng mabuti, kung nahuhulog na ba ang binata sa kanya...o siya ang nahuhulog rito.
"Can't we just make it up? For today?" He tried once again. She shook her head.
Not now, Heixon. I'm so confused. I'm scared that I would say things to you that made me regret after.
"Let me talk to myself first. My mind is in turmoil right now." She said instead.
"Why can't you talk to me then?" Giit pa nito.
Hindi niya mapigilan na mamangha sa binata. She was amazed by his patience. How did he stand at all? He's a Benjamin and that's a surprised.
"Please..." she pleaded him to let her go.
Unti-unting lumuwag ang pagkakahawak ng binata sa kanyang kamay. Bahagya siyang nalungkot roon pero pinilig niya iyon dahil ito naman ang kagustuhan niya.
He sighed. "Get inside."
Tumango siya. She even tried to smile at him but she can't.
Tinalikuran niya ito at tuluyan ng binuksan ang pinto.
"H-heixon..." she muttered.
Gulat na gulat siya sa kanyang nakita.
Kung kanina ay marami siyang iniisip ngayon ay naglaho ang lahat ng iyon na parang bola.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this. Gusto kong magka-ayos tayo agad para naman masaya tayo ngayon. But I guess... I failed?" Saysay ng binata.
Pero gulat at mangha pa rin siya sa paligid.
Their living room was full of flowers, pati sa staircase may bulaklak. Nakapatay ang ilaw sa sala dahil may maliliit na ilaw galing sa Christmas lights and candles. May isang round table na may dalawang upuan ang nakaayos sa gitna ng living room. Everything is so romantic. Napatakip siya sa bibig sa gulat.
"Oh my ghad..." Mahinang usal niya.
"Did you like it?" Tanong ng binata sa kanyang likuran.
Nilingon niya ito. "Are you kidding me? I don't like it! In fact, I love it!" She exclaimed in awe.
He flash a relief smile. "Thank God, at least you love it even tho we have a problem---"
She kissed him. Hindi na niya gustong marinig pa ang saaabihin nito kaya hinalikan niya ang binata.
Halatang nabigla ito pero agad siyang hinapit nito papalapit.
"Thank you..." She whispered.
"Happy monthsarry, wife-baby." He miled genuinely at her.
"I'm not really expecting this, oh my gosh. Thank you so much." She hugged him tightly. Heixon hugged her back.
"You know, no one did something like this for me." She said.
"Then, I'll do this often to you. But please...don't cry. You don't have to cry, Cleo."
But her shoulders were shaking na because of her sobs.
"Why wouldn't I? It's my first to be surprised like this!" She whined like a child.
Heixon caress her back to calm her down.
"Sshh, don't cry. Hindi pa nga nagsisimula ang gabi natin umiiyak ka na. And I surprised you not to make you cry, but to celebrate our tolerance with each other for one month." He said to her.
"Heixon, why are you like this? You love me right?" Diretsang tanong niyabsa binata. She was looking directly at his eyes for her to know is he was telling the truth. But just like before, Heixon would just look at her like she already knew the answer.
"I told you, I wouldn't say it if you confess to me."
She groaned. "You know me that I won't say it first, you know--- I mean, wala akong sasabihin!" Agad na bawi niya.
Heixon chuckled. "Keep on denying, then. Sige ka baka mamamatay na lang ako hindi mo maaamin ang nararamdaman mo."
She rolled her eyes at him. "Then, I'll throw a party on your burial."
He chuckled. "Silly." Then he pinch her nose.
Hindi na lang siya nagreklamo dahil sinurpresa naman siya ng binata. Palalagpasin niya ito.
"Let's eat, shall we?" Aya ng asawa niya sa kanya.
"Okay." She smiled at him. Hindi niya alam kung guni-guni lang ba iyon o totoo na nakita niyang natigilan ang binata sa ngiti niya.
It's rare when she smile. She doesn't smile to anyone. She's a brat, she know that pretty well.
Heixon escorted her to their table. She rolled her eyes while smiling when he pulled her a chair.
"Not bagay sayo maging gentleman." She teased him.
Napakamot naman ng ulo ang binata. "Come on, I wasn't use to this."
Even in the dim lights he saw his face turns red. Is he blushing?
"Of course, hindi ka naman gentle. You fuck me hard---"
"No, no, no...we are not talking about sex here. Not now. Let's celebrate first, okay?" Pigil sa kanya nito.
She secretly laughed at him. She even glance at the bulge between his pants. Oh lala! It's alive! I repeat it's alive!
"Cleo, don't." He warmed helplessly.
"So you're rejecting my sex now? You don't want me na?" She was clearly teasing him and he knew that. Pero nukhang sineryoso naman ng binata ang biro na.
"Come on, wife-baby. I'm trying to stop myself right now from taking you. Please, behave." Mariin na sabi ng binata. Oh, she can see the veins on his arms it's actually turning her on.
"Behave. Isa." Nagbilang pa ito. She can't help but to laugh loud.
"Okay, okay. Let's eat first...bago tayo magkainan." She seductively said to him the last words. She saw his eyes dilated in lust. How long will you endure this torture, Benjamin? I was born for this.
"Cleo. Dalawa."
She chuckled. "Okay, okay. Behave na po, master."
"Good. Or else..."
"Or else what?"
"Or else you will be carrying our first child soon. Ready or not ready."
Napalunok siya.
