ToGetHer Forever

Special Chapter (dos)

It's been few days and Kristene can feel that Vincien is being distant with her. Araw-araw itong late nang umuuwi and sometimes, he brought his paper works at home. Late na rin ito nakakatulog and knowing Vincien, he's keeping it to himself. That's Vincien's attitude since then.

But right now, she wanted to comfort her husband and maybe she can help with what Vincien is facing right now.

Maagang pinatulog ni Kristene ang kanilang mga anak bago sya bumalik sa kwarto nila ni Vincien. And just like the other nights that passed, Vincien is in his working table, working his ass off.

She walk towards Vincien and hugged him from behind while resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Mi Rey?"

Vincien looked at her through his shoulder. "Hmm?"

"You okay? You want me to help you?"

Vincien cupped her face and kissed her cheeks. "I can handle this Mi Amor."

"How about coffee? Do you want me to make you coffee? Even sandwich? Baka kasi nagugutom ka."

Vincien shooked his head as response before he averted his gaze on the pile of papers. "I'm okay Mi Amor. Don't worry."

But somehow, Kristene is feeling uneasy that's why, he sat on his lap and kissed him on the lips. She felt Vincien responding to her kisses but he suddenly stop and slightly pushed her.

"K not now please. I have a lot of things to do. I'm really sorry hmm?"

Pinagkatitigan nya ang kanyang asawa bago sya tumango at tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa hita nito. "If you need anything don't hesitate to tell me okay?"

Vincien smiled and nodded at her before going back to work.

Kristene lay down on the bed while looking at her husband's back. Still the same Vincien she knows. He doesn't want to tell what's happening at work if he can still handle it all by himself.

And instead of getting angry or pissed at her husband, she actually understands him. Just like how she choose to understand her husband few years ago while waiting for him to come back. Pinagkaiba lang ngayon, magkasama na sila. At hindi nya hahayaang magkahiwalay sila muli kahit kailan.

She can't sleep and still wait for her husband to finish doing those paper works til midnight. And when Vincien lay down on the bed beside her, she immediately hugged him and nuzzled his neck while gently nipping it.

Then Vincien groaned, "K not now please."

Napatigil si Kristene sa ginagawa nya at agad na nag-angat ng tingin kay Vincien na halatang aburido at iritado.

Her lips thinned while looking at her husband who's eyebrows are furrowed while his eyes were closed.

She took a very deep breath before she climbed off the bed and without notice, she went outside of their room and went straight to their children's room.

She can't help but to shed a tear. Yes she do understand her husband but somehow, she felt pain in her chest. Hindi naman sya perpekto o manhid. Nasasaktan pa rin sya kahit gaano nya naiintindihan ang sitwasyon.

And from there, she sobbed silently while lying down beside her daughter Vreen. She gently caress Vreen's hair, same as Vincent who is sleeping peacefully. She took a glance at Kriscien who is also sleeping soundly before she closed her eyes until she drifted to sleep.

Morning came. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was already in their bedroom. For sure Vincien carried me back here.

She glanced at her clock on the bedside table only to find out it's already 6:30 in the morning. Vincien is already taking a bath as of the moment so she hurriedly went downstairs to prepare breakfast for his husband and children.
