Waves Of Emotion

Chapter 11 Feel complete

Bella

All things went well; I’m back to my shape. I have passed my resume and applied some job vacancies, ma online man o walk in. One morning I receive a call from one of the company na inaplayan ko.

Hello Mahal, good morning; bungad ni Marco sa akin nong tinawagan ko sya sa phone.

Mahal, natanggap na ako sa inaplayan ko noong isang araw, remember the big company na sinabi ko sayo na i want to be part of that company? I’m already hired and will start soon, after ko ma comply ang mga requirement na ina-ask nila.

Well congratulation Mahal, you did well. Will talk to you later okay, I’m still in the middle of a meeting.

Ah okay sorry for disturbing you, drop ka na lang sa bahay later. Bye bye, love you. Love you too; rinig kong usal ni Marco sa kabilang linya.

Excited na ako makapag start ng trabaho, magkaroon ng sariling career, sariling pera, be a totally independent woman. Nothing I would ask for, I feel I’m a lucky person on earth at the moment.

When I started working, things are still going smooth between us, we are both busy with our career but we always find time for each other.

What’s the updates with you too? Tanong ko sa aking dalawang kaibigan while we are in a bar hanging out, drinking a little bit, it’s weekend. Ang mga lalaki nasa kabilang table nag-uusap, mukhang may problema si Jetro.

Ako same parin, relationship with no label, I don’t know, like I want something more, di ako secure on what we had now. Unlike you and Marco, you are both secured with each other, kitang kita namin ang happiness and connection nyo both. I guess it is what it is; wika ni Rylie sa amin ni Inah.

Ikaw naman Inah? Jetro looks problematic there. Turo ko kay Jetro kausap ang mga guys.

Jetro proposes to me but I was caught off guard, di pa ako ready, bago pa lang kami, diba? Dami niyang babae before, sympre may pagdududa parin ako, so I decline his proposal. I know I hurt him. Kita ko sa mukha ni Inah ang kalungkutan at pagkabahala.

Ah kaya pala problemadong look sya ngayon. I was shock sa narinig, di ko din inexpect na gawin ni Jetro yun.

Mali ba ginawa ko girl? Like I need time for it, marriage is a forever thing, ayokong magkamali; Inah explain.

Yeah you are right, you should be sure of yourself first, yong walang ng bawian, walang balikan or any hidden baggage. Pag-usapan nyo nalang mabuti, explain yourself to him. Advice ko kay Inah.

We will just enjoy this night, bihira lang tayong magkita kasi we are all busy. Sige sayaw tayo dun, hayaan natin ang mga boys sa problema nila; Rylie said. Pumunta kami ng dance floor.

As we had plan, we just enjoyed the night, we drink alcohol but not as bad as before, may limitation na, like just chill and not to die. Unlike before we drink like wala ng bukas.

Hinatid ako ni Marco sa bahay, while on the way home nag-uusap kami.

Ano ba pinag-usapan nyo kanina ng mga boys, Mahal? I’m curious sa side ng mga boys.

Hhha, ikaw talaga, its boy’s thing, let it be. Huwag ka ng magmarites pa.

Hmm, I want to know, promise I will not talk to Inah and Rylie, just the two of us.Trying to convince him to spill out some juicy news or chismis.

Hmm may magagawa ba ako, eh knowing you ayaw mong papigil? Well Jetro, wants to marry Inah kasi na trigger sya nong admirer ni Inah na taga Davao, he is Manila right now. Kaya nag-propose sya kaagad but Inah decline, he feels Inah wasn’t in love with him.

Mahal, bago pa naman sila, Inah explain to me na may doubt pa siya kay Jetro. And Jetro should give enough time for the relationship to blossom, baka naman at the end magkahiwalay lang kung ipinilit.

Yeah you’re right, Jetro felt threaten with the other guy, he is possessive you know, but I know his serious with Inah for him to decide on such serious matter and his in love with her, never seen him acted like that way before.

Well, they can sort that problem soon. It’s still up to them. Saad ko balik kay Marco.

How about Javer, Mahal? What's your opinion on him with regards to Rylie? Because Rylie doesn’t feel secure with him. Do you guys talk about that too? Tanong ko kay Marco fishing some information kasi boy’s talk in their own.

He never talk yet, he will come around when he wants our advice, kaming mga boys di kami ganun ka chismosa, hhaha

Talaga lang hah, nag-uusap kaya din kayo pa-secret lang. I’m trying to reason out. He always says im a marites.

But not as loud as you girls na halos isigaw na.hhaha. Sumimangot lang ako kasi totoo naman, we girls like chismis.

We end our evening just like that. We do chismis together, siyang kachismisan ko, tagakinig ng mga rants ko, shock absorber ko sa trabaho. I can say, all in one na ang boyfriend ko.

One day, wedding anniversary ng parents nya, so as usual andun ako.

Happy anniversary Tita Tito; bati ko sa kanila while i hug and kiss them both.

Thank you Bell, come here, ipakilala kita sa mga kamag-anak namin.

Lahos present mga relatives nila tito at tita, mga ganitong event sila magkakasama. Ang iba kilala ko na ang iba di pa.

This is Bella my manugang, girlfriend ni Marco. Bella sila ang tito ni Marco, sa father side nya. Pakilala nya sa akin sa lahat ng relatives nila. Nakipagkumustahan ako sa lahat, nilibot ko na ata ng family circle nila, proud si tita sa akin.

Maraming gusto makig-usap sa akin, maraming tanong, nabusy din ako ka entertain sa kanila, halos di na kami nagkasama ni Marco. After ng event, nag alisan na halos lahat saka na kami nakapagsulo ni Marco.

Mahal sobrang busy mo kanina ah; natatawa niyang saad sa akin.

Oo nga eh, di ako tinantanan ng mga kamag-anak mo, di pa ako tapos kausap ang isa, may isa na naman kumausap sa akin.

Yeah, they like you, para ka tuloy kakandidato sa pagkamayor lahos kinamayan mo na lahat, hhaha.

Oo nga eh, nahihiya naman ako umayaw, bakit di mo ako kinuha dun? Ni di ka man lang lumapit sa akin.

Haha, I saw you enjoyed talking naman with them kaya pinabayaan na kita. Moment mo na yun to know them all. Have your food first parang di kana nakakain masyado kanina sa daming mong kausap. He is really caring, my welfare is his priority.

Mahal dito kana matulog, kasi gabi na, kinausap ko na mama mo at pumayag na siya. Sabi nya sa akin na parang wala lang.

Ha, how about your parents, baka magalit yun? Ayokong abusuhin ang tiwala ni parents niya sa akin.

Nah di magalit yun, sila nga may gusto na dito ka na tumira sa bahay namin eh. Come on finish your food para makapag pahinga na tayo

Paalam muna ako kay tita, nakakahiya. Pinuntahan ko mama nya sa kusina, busy sa ka instruct sa mga katulong.

Tita, dito daw ako gusto matulugin ni Marco; paalam ko sa kanya.

Ah oo nagpaalam na si Marco sa akin kanina, kasi nakapagpaalam na daw sya sa mama mo and his not feeling well daw para magmaneho.

Ah yun ba, di ko siya natanong kanina kasi na busy ako. Sige tita I check ko nalang siya para maka-inum ng gamot.

It’s okay Bella, you can rest now. Matutulog na din kami.

Sige tita, goodnyt po, humalik ako sa kanya. She kiss me and say goodnight as well.

Mahal, you’re not feeling well ba? Sabi ni tita, sorry di ko nahalata kanina. Sinapo ko ulo nya. Okay naman, di mainit.

Nah, alibi ko lang yun kay mama, para di magtaka kung bakit dito kita pinatulog, but actually they really wants to you to stay here. Ahh kaya pala, magaling din ang lalaking ito.

Mahal wala akong gamit eh, underwear lang dala ko sa bag.

No worries, you can use my things, just wear my t-shirt. Kumuha sya ng kanyang damit sa closet at binigay sa akin.

Malaki yun kasya sa akin as a dress na, pumasok na ako sa banyo, nag half bath lang, naligo na ako kanina pag-alis ng bahay. After I’m done tumabi na ako sa kanya sa kama.

I miss you; he kissed me torridly and hugs me so tight like his insinuating on something.

Mahal we can’t do it here, maririnig tayo ng mga magulang mo. Usap ko sa kanya sa mahinang boses kasi I know what he wants to happen.

Who says, we will just keep quite while doing it. I lock the door already. Come on, I missed you so much.

That night we made love again, it’s been a while since we last do it. And I’m so happy to experience it with the one I truly love. I feel complete as a woman.
