Maverick was stunned by what she said. He wasn't saying anything and was just staring at her. So, she smiled and caressed his both cheeks using her thumbs.

"You don't have to answer. I just really want to tell you how I feel," she said.

Maverick held both of her hands that are still in his face, he removed it from there and squeezed.

"You're making me happy, Emilia. I can't believe a small woman like you can make me feel so much happiness," he said and she couldn't help but roll her eyes from his remark.

"Ang yabang mo alam mo?" She fired back.

Maverick laughed then pulled her to embrace, she can feel the vibration of his laughter from his chest.

"I like you so much, Emilia. I might not be where you are already, but I assure you that I'm almost there," he said, cupping her face. "Can you wait for me?" He then asked.

Without thinking any further, she nodded with a wide smile. "I will," she answered.

She knows she's betting on a gamble again but it's Maverick, her husband and the father

    "Are you really sure about this?" Sandro asked her from the side. He's her best friend and he's been worrying about the deal she had agreed on; as if may magagawa pa ito."I'm really sure of it, Sands. I told you, you don't have to worry about me anymore, okay?" paninigurado niya naman dito.She was sitting in front of a lighted vanity mirror as a stylist style her hair beautifully. Inaayos nito ang pagkakabitan ng kanyang belo para mamaya."What the hell, Alessandro! Ako ang ika-kasal pero bakit ikaw pa ang tensionado?" tanong n'ya pa nang makita ang paghugot nito ng malalalim na hininga mula sa repleksyon nito sa salamin.Umiling-iling naman ito sa kanya. "You can't blame me, Gian! I'm your best friend and it was a fucking news to me!" asik nito. "Besides, this isn't the wedding you had dreamed of having," he added. She could see sadness in his eyes, he was sad for her.But she just shrugged. "I have never dreamed of any wedding, Sands. I knew from that start that this is my fate" s

    "It would be a shame not tasting him."Parang biglang gustong masuka ni Gian ng maalalang pinagnasaan n'ya si Maverick sa mismong seremonya ng kanilang kasal. Kung alam nya lang sana ay hindi n'ya man lang siya tumingin dito.Ang walang hiya! Hindi naman niya alam na napakahambog naman pala ng mapapangasawa niya! Hanggang ngayon ay nasa isip pa rin niya ang mga sinabi nito sa kanya ng inanunsyo na ng pari na maaari na siyang halikan nito."This will only be on papers," sabi nito saka siya hinalikan sa gilit ng kanyang labi.Ang kapal ng mukha! Para namang gusto niyang makasal siya rito. Huh! Pasalamat ito at kaharap nila pari at kanilang mga bisita ng mga oras na iyon dahil kung hindi ay susupalpalin n'ya ito iyong oras din na iyon."Oh, bakit nakasimangot?" Sandro asked, nasa upuan siya na nakalaan sa kanilang dalawa ni Maverick habang ang magaling niyang asawa ay naroon sa lamesa ng mga kaibigan nito, naglalasing."Nagsisisi na ako, Sands," ani n'ya."At bakit na naman. Kakatapos la

    "How are the two of you so far?" her father asked. They were in his office to talk about their company's merger with Maverick's mom's company."We're fine, Dad," she answered, shrugging. Gusto pa sana niyang idugtong na tulog lamang s'ya buong magdamag ng kanilang unang gabi, but of course, she won't tell that!"I'm glad to hear that, hija. I was afraid that you'll change your mind once you live under one roof with my son," Maverick's mom said."Oh, no po, Ma'am. That is never going to happen," she answered. "We're doing just fine po. Medyo nag a-adjust palang po, but that will never be a problem, right, honey?" she answered, turning to Maverick who's sitting beside her.Nagtaas naman ito ng kilay sa kanya na agad niyang pinandilatan para makuha ang gusto niyang sabihin."Of course, Mom. You don't have to worry, okay? We're fine," he answered, smiling at his mother."That's good. And hija, please stop calling me ma'am, you should get used of calling me mommy or mom. Anak na rin kita s

    "These are my friends," Maverick said, introducing her to all of his friends whom she didn't bother to remember their names.Para saan pa? She's sure, at the first place, that Maverick doesn't have any intention of introducing her to his friends. It just happened that he was caught up with this situation, leaving him no choice but to do it."And this is, Vanelope, Easton's wife. Gavin's wife, Morgan and Jorge, Caius'." He added, introducing the three girls sitting at the separate couch from the boys.He then turned to her, "this is my wife, Gianna Emilia." He introduced her to them."Hello," she greeted his friends, trying hard to look genuine with her smile. "I preferred to be called Gian," she said.And she was surprised when one of the girls suddenly jumped to hug her, iyong Jorge."Careful, baby..." a guy spoke, iyong Caius ata na asawa nitong si Jorge.Jorge giggles as she rubs her big tummy. "I'm sorry. I'm just happy to finally meet her." Sagot nito."You already met her in the

    The next day was like usual since they got married. Maaga siyang nagising para mag bilin ng ilang trabaho sa opisina bago sila umalis papuntang Palawan sa hapon ng araw ding iyon.Maverick wasn't on her side when she woke up like usual. Laging ganun naman ang eksena nila tuwing umaga simula nang magsama sila, at pabor iyon para sa kanya. She have all the time to lurk on their bathroom and walk in closet without worrying that he might barge in to use the facility.It took her almost half an hour taking a bath at paglabas ng kanilang silid ay naabutan n'ya ang asawa na nasa kusina, kasama si Connor habang nag-aalmusal.Huh! Hindi man lang ako inaya. She mentally said to herself.Luh? At sino ka naman para ayain? Special ka, girl? She spat back to herself. Napapailing na lamang siya sa sarili dahil para na naman siyang baliw na nakikipag-away sa isip n'ya."Good morning, Emilia!" Connor greeted her, napangiwi pa ito ng ngitian siya. Must be his hangover.She smiled back and nodded. "Good

    Emilia roamed around the beach. Siya lang mag-isa at hindi na nag aksaya pa nang lakas na ayain ang asawa dahil una, busy ito sa telepono at alam niyang tungkol sa trabaho ang ginagawa nito. At pangalawa, hindi rin naman niya gusto ang makasama ito. She rather be alone as she enjoy the magnificent views in front of her.Alam na alam naman niyang labag din sa loob nito ang tumuloy sa trip na iyon pero wala silang magagawa pareho kundi ang sumunod sa gusto ng mga magulang nila.Alas tres na ng hapon at hindi na ganun katirik ng araw at dahil wala pa naman siyang gagawin ay naisipan na lamang n'ya ang mahiga sa sun lounger na nakapwesto malapit sa beach. She took off her cover up shirt, revealing her white bikini before lying down the lounger.The place was nice and peaceful, dahil na rin sa iilan lang ang mga bisitang naroon. Kaya naman, hindi na niya maiwasan ang mapaidlip. At kung hindi pa lumamig ang pakiramdam n'ya sa paligid ay hindi pa siya magigising.Madilim na nang magising siy

    "I'm not assuming things, Engineer De Chavez. You're creeping me out, that's what's on my mind." She fired back.But Maverick didn't react and instead, held her on her shoulders and turned to face the show. He stayed behind her, arms around her shoulders."Are you trying to kill me?" She asked, feeling more awkward about their position."Stop with your imagination, Emilia. We're here to see the show," Maverick answered."Yeah. We're here to watch the fire dance, not you being so clingy on me," she butted in.Maverick released her and when she looked at him, his brow was already arched and his arms were crossed to his chest.

    "Is this okay?" She asked Maverick, showing the bread knife."That will do," he said and took it from her hand and with a blink, Maverick tore his shirt open.And she don't know why, but seeing him topless in front of her, up close, makes her mouth dry. Hindi naman ito ang unang beses na nakita niyang hubad si Maverick, pero bakit parang iba ang dating nito ngayon sa kan'ya.Must be the alcohol. She convinced herself."Are you done?" She asked and tried to help him remove his shirt. Nanginginig pa ang mga kamay n'ya ng hilaan iyon paalis sa braso nito. "May kailangan ka pa?" Tanong n'ya ulit.And Maverick being Maverick, inirapan siya nito tapos ay itinuro ang pinto. "I'm good here. Labas ka na," ani nito."Uh...sige..." She said, trying really hard to fix her eyes in his face but she couldn't, her eyes kept on gliding down his body.Damn that abs! He fucking have eight packs!"Labas na, Gianna Emilia." Maverick

    "Will you please listen to me first?" Maverick asked, stopping her from totally leaving by holding her on her elbow."What do I have to hear, Maverick? I'm not stupid, I know where I should stand in every situation," she said.Ano pa ba kasi ang dapat niyang marinig? Hindi pa ba sapat na sobra na siyang nasasaktan dahil sa nalaman n'ya? Kailangan niya pa bang makarinig ng iba para ano? Para masaktan lang siya lalo? Huwag na lang."Honey...""Maverick naman!" She asked, turning to face him."Just hear me out, please? I don't want you to sleep upset because of me again," he said."Ano pa ba kasing kailangan

She just smiled and said it's nothing.Everyone greets him, from his mother, his eldest sister Krista, his Ate Maureen and Laureen, who are twins and his friends; from the guys to girls."Happy Birthday, Mave!

    Dim lights, scented candles, and a table set romantically. It was the scene she came to the moment she stepped in their unit.And behind those is Maverick who's nervously smiling at him with a bouquet of flowers in his hands."What are these?" She asked.Maverick took a step closer to her and handed her the flowers. "I don't know what exactly I've done wrong for you to get mad but still, I want to apologize. I'm so sorry, honey, if I get you upset. I promise I won't do it again," it said.And she was stunned in her spot.How?How could she stay mad if he's like this?No, Gian. You can't. Remember, he's still in love with his ex!She told herself.But when did we win against ourselves? Never, she thinks."I'm not mad," she said, accepting the bouquet."But you're upset. I'm sorry, hon. I didn't mean to do that," Maverick said.How can she react to that without hurting herself even more? So, in

She told herself as she wiped away the tears that kept on falling from her eyes.It has already been three days since that conversation between Maverick and Connor happened but she still mourn about it.

    Maverick being too clingy and sweet becomes normal for Emilia. It no longer makes her feel awkward nor surprised butkilig, always.Maverick turns out to be different from who he was trying to appear at their wedding; he was not arrogant nor snobbish. He is actually a very sweet and thoughtful man. And she's thankful for having him as her husband."Hon..." Maverick called her. He was on his working table inside their room while she's on the bed, laying."Hmm?" She responded with eyes closed. Lately, she's been feeling sick a lot.

    "Ano na namang kalandian 'to, huh?" Sandro asked her the next morning, showing off his phone in front of her. And on it was her instagram post from last night."Ano! Sagot, Gian! Landian pa ba 'to o totohanan na?" Tanong pa ulit nito."Bakit ba kasi?" she asked instead."Sagutin mo na lang! Bruha ka. Ano na ngang ganap sa inyo?""Calm down, Sands. You're overreacting again," she said."Overreacting your face. Sumagot ka, ano na ang nagaganap sa inyo. Hindi na 'to sa papel lang alam ko. Hindi na rin basta tikiman 'to.
