[Enna's POV]
"Ma'am sale po 'yan," said the sales lady when I took one of the lipsticks sa make up compartment nila.
"Talaga?"
"Opo. Twenty-five percent. From two five, one eight seventy-five nalang," she gave me a courteous smile. "We have tester para makita po ninyo if babagay yung shade sa skin tone niyo."
"No it's okay. Actually I've been using this shade for a while na," I smiled at her. "Can I take it out? Ipapakita ko lang 'to sa hubby ko," I glanced outside of the store where Mikho was. Ayaw kasi niyang pumasok. I told him na may titingnan lang ako and he just nodded and insisted na doon nalang siya maghihintay sa labas.
"Sure Ma'am," she answered after peeking at my hottie hubby outside the glass door.
"Thanks!"
Lumabas ako at tumigil sa har
[Enna's POV]"Mikho..."I whispered ng magising ako. I feel so giddy and nausated kaya agad akong napabangon at tumakbo palabas to head for the bathroom. I puked in the towlet bowl for so long hanggang sa maramdaman ko na ang panghihina ng body ko. Ang sama ng sikmura ko. Nasusuka parin ako kahit wala namang lumalabas.I sobbed and pressed a hand to my belly while limping like a gimp. Masakit na ang ulo at lalamunan ko. Ang hirap ng wala dito ang hubby ko. I'm sure he left early to look for a job. Kahit ayaw kong iwan niya ako ay wala naman akong magagawa. He needs a job for us.Nakakalungkot lang kasi hindi rin siya natulog sa room namin kagabi. Sa living room siya natulog kahit hindi siya fit dun sa sofa. Hindi na niya ako kinausap after that pest incident. Was he mad at me kasi I tried to stop hi
[Mikho's POV]INyour anger do not sin; do not let the sun go down while you're still angry and do not give the devil a foothold.I heaved out, easing the burden in my chest. I have never once shouted nor showed hostility in anyone but I did earlier. My anger was pressed into one like a bolt of lightning. I lost my wallet to God knows where or who. Enna left the apartment without even texting me--only to find that she was out wearing a cut-off shirt without a bra. And she lent the money that was only left of us to a person she doesn't even know! God, I don't know what I'd do with the brat. She seems like a kid masked in an overgrown woman's body.God, forgive me.I knel
[Enna'a POV]HINDIko alam kung pa'nong nangyari. Ang natatandaan ko marami pa akong mga pangarap at hindi ko kaya ang buhay na ganito. Pero kapag tinitingnan ko ang hubby ko para bang lumipad nalang ang mga 'yon sa kung saan. Masaya akong kasama siya kahit poor lang kami. Natutuwa akong pinagmamasdan lagi ang kilos niya, ang simpleng pagtitig niya sa'kin, ang paggalaw ng lips niya, ang paghinga niya, at ang mga ngiti niya. He seldom smiles pero it's so worth it naman kapag nangyayari iyon."Mag-iingat ka,"sabi ko while smoothening his pink polo shirt. Kinulit ko siyang suotin 'to today. I think pink was his color. He seems to like this color too because most of his shirts are pink. Hate na hate ko ang color na 'to pero bagay kasi sa kanya kaya like ko narin."Ay
[Mikho's POV]I COULDN'Thelp but run my fingers through her glossy blonde hair. She looks innocently beautiful in her sleep with her pursed cute little red lips. My little barbie. I don't know how it happened, the brat hasn't only gotten under my skin but she has become a part of my whole being. It's as if I find new meaning in waking up every morning by only seeing her little charming face, by feeling the warmth of her hug, or having to taste a feel of her lips.I thought it would be hard to be around her from the start. This wasn't the life that I'd imagined where I would be. I was going to be a priest. It was absolute. But right now, being with her, I could hardly think of it. It was shoved underground, forgotten. Enna made me embrace this life so easily that my days with her came out natural.
[Enna's POV]SOBRANGsaya ko na mahal rin ako ng hubby ko, kaya lang I don't understand why he won't still touch me. Naiinip na ako. I always wear skimpy clothes during our bedtime pero he would only kiss me and pull me to sleep. Hmmp! If he's not going to touch me, I'm going to do it for him.I bent my nape and teased my hair with my fingers. Sinuot ko rin yung cut off cropped top shirt ko making sure na litaw yung mga nippies ko. I wore the skimpiest panty I have at lumabas na ng kwarto. Nakaupo parin siya sa sofa kung saan ko siya iniwan kanina. He said matutulog na siya after an hour but it's three hours already at may binabasa parin siyang mga papers ng students niya."You said you're sleeping after an hour." Tumigil ako sa h
[Enna's POV]"Selena! Eh Janno Gibbs mo na ang Anda Lucia nitong si Enna. Mamaya mahuli pa ito ng hubby niya malagot din tayo. Ayokong ma bad shot dun,"lumapit si Shakira sa counter kung saan nakatayo si Selena. Selena was counting money."Oo na oo na. Sandali lang, bakla!"Selena flipped his green bangs at binalingan ako."Ito na ang kita mo today, Enna.""Thank you!"I smiled and took the two hundred and thirty pesos. Sobrang sakit ng neck ko kasi marami rin akong customer at pagod rin yung hands ko pero I'm happy kasi may pandagdag na naman ako para sa ring namin ni Mikho."Sige na ganda. Pwede kanang chumurva. Ipagluto
[Enna's POV]NAGULATako nang may nag-park na dalawang heavily tinted na mercedes SUVs sa front ng apartment namin. I looked at my hubby. He was sweating at hindi siya mapakali. Ayaw naman niyang sabihin sa'kin kung bakit. Ayaw nga niya akong pababain but I insisted.Hmmp!This doesn't look like one of Papa's vehicles.Who are these people?"Mikho..."Kumapit ako sa kanya. Biglang sabay sabay na bumukas yung doors ng SUVs. I almost dropped my jaw when I saw the guys who went down from the first vehicle.Geee!They were all unbelievably gorgeous gorgeous men! They stood motionless in front of us. Blangko ang muk
[Mikho's POV]"Enna..."I rammed into her hard while my eyes were fixed into her beautiful face, her little beguiling eyes lethargic as they gazed back at me. God, but my Enna looks so perfect that it hurts to look at sometimes."M-mikho..."she whined, gripping her little hands tightly around my neck."K-kaya mo pa ba, p-palangga?"I worriedly asked with my labored breath. She was panting, her breathing shallow, and barely moving on top of me."I'm tired...but okay lang kasi I'm about to come na... pero p-romise me last mo na 'to ngayon ha...? Pagod na kami ni baby..."she pouted.Tumango ak
[Enna's POV]"Papa!"gulat at sabay sabay na sabi ng mga anak namin. Mikho came in with a bouquet of flower in his hand at may bitbit din siyang cake. Excited na nagtatakbo naman si Natsu sa Papa nito, sa likod nito si Meme na agad ding napatayo para salubungin ang Papa niya."Papa!"si Natsu na nagtatalon pa. He must have missed his Papa so much. Kinuha naman ni Meme ang cake sa kamay ng Papa niya saka ito nagmano at humalik sa pisngi ni Mikho. Inabot ni Mikho si Natsu at kinarga na tuwang tuwang ding nagmano. Sunod sunod nang pumila ang mga anak namin para magmano at humalik. I was surprised yet hindi ko mapigilan ang matawa. Ganito kasi lagi ang tagpo kapag ka nandiyan ang Papa nila, para silang pumipila para mag flag ceremony. Ganyan sila ka pormal pagdating sa Papa nila.
[Enna's POV]I couldn't swallow dahil sa sikip ng dibdib at lalamunan ko. I had been staring at the book for a very long time now.Ang bad bad niya! How could he make me so frustrated and so happy at the same time? Nakahiga parin ako sa bed because my body was literally weak dahil sa mix of emotion. I still don't understand what was happening, I felt like I just woke up from a dream. And bigla nalang sumulpot si Ate Cassie at kasama pa si Lizzie!"I swear I don't know about this Enna. Hindi ko din alam kung papa'no niyang nalaman ang mga suppliers natin. Wala akong choice kundi aminin sa kanya ang plano natin nung araw na nagsusukat tayo ng gown because he already knew na pala everything before hand hindi lang niya ini exp
[Enna's POV]"Basta pupunta po kayo 6PM bukas Tita ha? Pakisabi nalang din po kay Shakira. Bye po ingat!"I dropped the call at sumunod sa hubby ko sa meat section.I invited our closest friends para sa birthday ni Mikho bukas and now were doing the groceries. He just want an intimate dinner tomorrow. Ito na kasi talaga ang nakasanayan niya tuwing birthday niya. It's also a way of our family bonding kasi magluluto kami with the family. I know they have the entire hotel para maghanda sa kanya pero you know my hubby. Hindi naman siya ganun. Simpleng tao lang siya. And I'm super duper excited na on Monday, a day after his birthday for our big day! Mukhang clueless naman ang hubby ko kaya I did not worry na."Adrienna?"
[Enna's POV]From: AteCassieThe dresses are already here for fit. Saan na ba kayo? Please don't let Mikho come over here. Baka 'pag nakita siya ni Sari hindi na 'yan paalisin.Me:Kakaalis lang namin sa hospital, Ate. I stayed after Papa's dialysis kasi may diniscussed lang iyong endocrinologist niya after. Ten minutes diyan na kami.I replied to Ate Cassie while my hubby was talking to me."Enna are you listening to me? Kanina ka pa naka hawak diyan sa cellphone mo,"parang naiirita niyang untag sa'kin.
[ Enna's POV]" JUST like what happened sa amin ni Mikho. Hindi naman naging madali para sa'kin na tanggapin ang lahat ng nangyari sa buhay namin. I know darating din ang time na magiging okay kami ni Ate. Ang importante I get to spend time with Papa until his last days and okay narin kami ni Mama. Nagkausap na kami tungkol sa nangyari noon at sinabi niya sa'kin ang totoo. That she tried to accept me kahit bunga ako ng sekretong relasyon ni Papa sa iba. Though cold siya sa 'kin wala din naman siyang ginawa para saktan ako. At ngayon alam ko na ang totoo, it was more than enough for me. At kahit anupang gawin ko, pamilya ko parin sila."I smiled habang nagkikwento ako kay Ate Cassie.Few days ago, sinamahan rin ako ng hubby ko na dalawin ang puntod ng totoo kong ina. A part of me wanted to see her.
[Enna's POV]" PALANGGA, natatakot ako. Maybe they will do the same thing again kagaya ng ginawa nila noon. Bakamadamayang mga kids,"I breathed out while Mikho was squeezing my trembling hand. It wasn't easy to ignore the trauma that my family had left sa puso at isip ko. Kapag nakikita ko itong bahay, lahat ng mga masasakit na pagpapahirap nila sa'min ni Mikho ang naiisip ko. Natatakot akong baka mangyari muli iyon. I know na ini-expect na ni Papa na nandito kami. I just pray and hope na sana maging okay ang lahat. Sa totoo lang, mas nangingibabaw parin iyong takot ko kaysa sa pag-aalala ko sa kalagayan ni Papa. Mabuti nalang at behave lang ang mga kids na sinabihan na ni Mikho na dadalawin namin ang lolo nila. Sana lang hindi nila maranasan na mapagtabuyan or ang hindi ma welcome ng family ko. They we
[Enna's POV]HINDIako makatulog at hindi ako mapakali. Hindi ko naiintindihan ang nararamdaman ko. I promise may hubby na titigilan ko na'ng mag smoke pero I think I need this now to wear off my tension.After my two sticks, na hiningi ko sa guard sa baba, I decided na pumasok na ulit sa suit namin. Sana hindi naramdaman ni Mikho na nawala ako sa tabi niya. He can easily feel pa naman.I carefully sneaked inside the main door pero nagulat ako ng ang mukha agad ng hubby ko ang nabungaran ko. He had just woken up but he looked angry already."You've been smoking again, Enna,"he said rigidly na parang alam talaga niya ang sinabi niya at madilim akong tiningnan. Hindi ko alam
[Mikho's POV]"Are you okay, palangga?"I held Enna's hand tighly when we entered the hotel, looking at her eyes earnestly. This is one of the ways that I wanted to do to show her how much I love her. Sobrang mahal ko siya kaya kahit mahirap gagawin ko ito hindi lang para sa sarili kundi para sa kanya.Karga ko si Yuri habang bibit niya ang natutulog nang prinsesa namin. Sari had been too bubbly and energetic since the flight kaya maaga itong nakatulog."I'm okay. Huwag kang masyadong mag worry, okay?"she squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile.I was happy that she's trying so hard to reach out to our kids and she was trying so hard to look even stronger. Nag aalal
[Enna's POV]"You're a greedy greedy old man. Don't you know that?"sabi ko habang binubutones ang white polo shirt ng hubby ko. He looks a hundred times hotter with his clean-shaven face. I shaved his face and para tigilan na niya ako sa pangungulit, I did something para matuwa siya because he can't take me since I'm still very sore. Sobrang hapdi pa kaya and I know I more than made him happy by doing that."Do I look like an old man to you?"nakakunot ang noo niyang tanong. He was taking it seriously.I bit my bottom lip para pigilan ang tawa ko. I combed my fingers through his wet hair. Gosh, he doesn't know how gorgeous he looks with his age. Even without his effort ang dami dami ko paring kaagaw sa kanya.
