I WAS BUMMED the whole day home but knowing it’s Gabriel’s birthday, I didn’t want to ruin his special day. After all, it only comes once a year.
He just wanted a simple dinner with me so I cooked Tuscan Butter Shrimp and baked asparagus and potatoes. Nagpaturo ako kay Edward kasi paborito ito ng asawa ko. S’yempre, bumili na rin ako ng nineteen fifty-one Penfolds Grange red wine. Unang birthday n’ya na magkasama kami. I want it to be perfect. So whatever worries I have, I set it aside.
I wore the simple haltered dress he bought me before I got pregnant. It was red and I think it suited perfectly for the occasion. Inilugay ko ang buhok ko at may bahagyang alon-alon ‘yon sa dulo. I think I looked alright.
Pero alas otso na ay wala pa rin ang asawa ko. I texted him but he was not answe
