39

We went to McDonalds and buyed a bucket of chicken, fries, burger and drinks. We were craving for that.


"Where will we go after this?" tanong ko kay Blaze.


Ngumiti sya. "Secret." natawa na lang ako.


"Okay then." kumain ako ng chicken. Chicken will always be the best.


"Daddy, i want baby brother." bigla akong napaubo dahil sa sinabi ni Jieun. Uminom agad ako ng tubig.


Napangisi si Blaze. "Daddy wants it too, Jieun." sabi nya. What the hell? Did he really said that?


"Then when will i have a baby brother, daddy?" Jieun asked innocently.


"Maybe later?" he acted like he's think. Tumingin sya sa akin. Pinanlakihan ko sya ng mata, ngumiti lang sya sa akin.


"Oww, that's too fast." Jieun said.


"There's a process Jieun, i'll make sure i will give you a big brother, okay? Just wait." Jieun nodded. "Okay daddy. Gusto ko na po kasi magkaroon ng kalaro."


"But why baby brother? Don't you want baby sister?" Blaze asked.


Umiling si Jiuen. "I want baby sister too, but i want baby brother more." sabi nya.


He caressed her hair. "Okay, just wait Jieun."


Blaze looked at me. Ngumiti ulit sya. He licked his upper lip. Damn, that was hot. What is he trying to do??


Tinapakan ko yung paa nya. Tumawa sya. Tinapos na namin yung pagkain naman at umalis na rin sa McDonald.


We're now in his car at hindi namin alam kung saan nya kami ipupunta. I don't have really idea. Jieun is sleeping at the back.


"What do you think?" Blaze asked.


Tinignan ko sya. "What do you mean?" tanong ko sa kanya.


He looked at me. "Jieun wants a baby brother." he looked serious unlike kanina. Nagtaka tuloy ako kung bakit bigla sya naging seryoso.


"It means she's expecting from us. What Jieun wants? I want it too. But it's up to you Louise." he said. He's serious. Hindi agad ako nakapagsalita.


"I'll wait for your desicion." he said. Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako at tumango. Hinawakan na yung kaliwang kamay at yung isa nya namang kamay ay nasa manibela. He kissed my hand na parang lagi nyang ginagawa yon.


Pumasok kami sa isang iskinita. Nagpark na sya kaya lumabas na kami ng kotse. Binuhat ko si Jieun nang dahan dahan para hindi sya magising.


"I'll carry her." he insisted. Tumango ako, dahan dahan nyang kinuha sa akin si Jieun at binuhat ito. Naglakad kami ng konti at umistop sya sa isang maliit na gate. Binuksan nya iyon at pumasok na kami.


It's a typical house, hindi sya ganoon kalaki. Hindi rin sya ganoon kaliit. Pumasok na kami sa mismong bahay at sobrang namangha ako sa design nung bahay. It's spacious pero bawat sulok at bawat space sa kabuuan ng bahay ay nagamit. Walang sinayang na espasyo.


Ihiniga muna ni Blaze si Jieun sa couch. At tumingin sa akin.


"So, what do you think?" he asked. Tumingin sya sa kabuuan ng bahay.


"Uhm, it's beautiful. The interior designs are on point. Kung bibili ako ng bahay, maghahanap ako na katulad dito." naglakad ako tumingin pa sa paligid.


"Let's go in the second floor." he said. Tumango ako. Pumunta kami sa second floor at may mga gym equipments na nandoon at sa other side ay may swimming pool naman.


"Wow. Ang ganda!" grabe, sobrang ganda!!


Hanggang second floor lang yung bahay, nung maikot ko yung buong second floor bumaba ulit kami at pumunta sa kwarto. I think this is the master's bed room. Tapos may isa pang kwarto na hindi ganoon kalaki pero sakto na para sa isang tao.


The whole room have minimalist style kaya nagustuhan ko ng sobra. It's simple pero eleganteng tignan. And the bed itself, it's big at halatang pricey. May lamp rin sya gilid na nakapatong sa side table.


There's a walk in closet and of course the bathroom. The bathroom is big!! It's beautiful, there's even a couch inside the bathroom.


"I'm speechless Blaze, this is beautiful. Is this yours? The whole house must be pricey." I looked at him.


"2 billion won." he said. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nyang presyo. (82M PHP)


"Seryoso ka ba??" halos pasigaw ko ng sabi. 2 billion won? Sobrang mahal ng bahay!! Binabawi ko na yung sinabi kong bibili ako nang gantong bahay. Sagad sa kamahalan.


"Sobrang mahal nito!!" sabi ko pa sa kanya.


He chuckled. "It's still worth it because it's beautiful."


"Oo nga pero ang mahal pa rin! Grabe." hindi ko makapaniwalang sabi. Para akong nawala ng hininga sa presyo. Putek, wala pa nga akong ganong pera. At tsaka yung apartment namin ni Jieun, renta lang rin yon.


"So did you like it? The whole house?" he asked.


"Syempre malamang oo naman, ang ganda. Kaso mahal talaga." pagpupumilit ko. Tumawa ulit sya.


"This house will be useless if you'll reject me again so." he pouted.


Bumilis yung tibok ng puso ko. "W--What do you mean?" tanong ko sa kanya.


"Do you want to live with me? With Jieun?" he asked. Napakamot sya sa batok nya as a sign na medyo nahihiya sya.


Parang mawawalan ako ng hininga sa tinanong nya. Hindi ko alam pero naiiyak ako sa tuwa. Hindi nya alam kung gaano ako kasaya sa tanong nya.


"Kainis ka!" hinampas ko sya braso. Bumuhos ang luha ko na hindi ko na napigilan.


"Hey, why are you crying?" agad na naalarma sya at niyakap ako.


"Did i say something wrong? What is it Louise, tell me." hindi ako nagsalita at umiyak na lang sa dibdib nya. My heart is so happy. Hindi nya alam kung paano nya ako napasaya sa tanong nya.


I rejected him twice dahil wala sa sitwasyon. He asked me in out of nowhere so I was shocked. But now? It's the perfect time. I thought he will not gonna ask me again because of what I did. I'm so happy, i'm really happy.


"Maybe i know the answer already, it's okay. I can wait." i heard him said, i can sense to his voice that he's disappointed and sad.


Lumayo ako sa kanya at tumingin. I'm right, he's sad.


"Pakasalan mo na rin ako." deretsang sabi ko sa kanya. Sya na yung nagulat sa sinabi ko.


"D--Do you mean-----"


"Oo, gusto ko. Gustong gusto ko." humagulgol ako ulit sa iyak. "Akala ko hindi muna ulit ako tatanungin. Nakakainis ka!" hinampas ko sya dibdib nya.


"Fvck, i'm so happy right now Louise!" he said. He hugged me tight and kissed my head.


"You don't know how much i'm so happy right now. I think i'm gonna cry." he chuckled. I hugged him back.


"Thank you Blaze." i sincerely said.


"And thank you too Louise. You made me happy. I feel like i'm the happiest person right now." his voice is shaking. I let go of the hug to look at him.


He have tears in his eyes. My heart melted. He's really happy.


"I'm happy too Blaze, hindi mo rin alam kung gaano ako kasaya ngayon. Sobrang saya ko. I never said this before. But i fell inlove with you since the day i met you. You were dangerous. You hurted me physichally but in your words too. I was scared, yes. But there's a part of me, that I know there's something about you." i smiled reminiscing the moments years ago.


"When you accused me being a user, it's actually hurted me. But realizing na hindi lang pala ako yung pumunta doon to ask you questions. Nasabi ko 'aaahh, kaya pala'. They tried to invade your privacy. And i'm sorry for that because i don't have any idea. I was selfish back then kasi hindi ko inisip yung side mo. All i want is your answers to pass my grades." he's just looking at me and he's listening carefully.


"The day when the prison was bomb, I was so worried at you. I thought you died there. I cried actually." I chuckled. "When you kidnapped me, there's a part of me that I'm angry because you are forcing me that time but I was really happy because you are alive." I wiped my tears.


"In that 6 days that i stayed with you, i never thought that i will love you kahit ang bad bad mo sa akin noon." tumawa ako nang mahina.


"Until now Blaze, until now. I still love you. I tried to have a relationship, i tried blind dates. Pero wala, hindi nag-work. I thought there's a problem with me. Pero meron nga, kasi nakakulong pa rin ako sayo. Kahit pinush away mo ako noon, na nakalaya ako sayo, nakulong naman ako kaso ikaw pa rin. Ikaw pa rin." huminga ako ng malalim.


"Our first meet was not good. But i will always thank and reminisce that moment kasi kung hindi kita nakilala noon, wala tayo ngayon. Wala si Jieun. Thank you sa lahat Blaze."


I kissed his lips. "Let's complete our family." and that's when his tears fell down.


He hugged me tight. "Thank you so much."


Thank you rin Blaze, salamat.
