RIZTHE dessert table for Mrs. Roberts was set. To be honest, it looked really glamorous and I have to commend my staff. Ang gagaling nila. I didn’t have to be here but since this is the first big event for Sinful Temptations, nakiusap ako kay Justin na payagan niya ako. I just have to bat my eyes a few times . . . and maybe throw in a few kisses and he said yes.“Adora, do we have extra boxes for the giveaways?” I added another box this morning bilang pasasalamat kay Mrs. Roberts. It’s free of charge.“Yes, ma’am. Everything is set,” nakangiting sagot niya sa akin.I have two guys helping Adora and me. Malaki naman ang budget ni Mrs. Roberts para sa amin. She really wants us to do this for her event. Black and gold mostly ang decorations niya. Doon ko ibinagay ang sweets.Since it’s a buffet, standby lang ang crew para ma-refill ang mesa. We can’t put everything out dahil hindi kakasya lahat. Maliit lang ang dessert table and it’s perfect dahil hindi masyadong makalat.“Oh my God! T

JUSTINNEEDLESS to say, my wife looked shock. Alam niya ang tungkol sa pagpapakasal ni Nanay kay Papa at legal na pag-ampon sa akin, but this part of my life is something I’ve never shared with her.Nagmano siya kay Dad at nagpakilala. Now we’re in the middle of dinner at nagtatawanan silang dalawa. Hindi na ako nagtataka na nagkasundo sila. My father has always been charming. Sabi nga ni Nanay, iba ang charm ng politiko and at the time, he wasn’t a senator yet. She knew he was going places and will make a difference in the people’s lives.“So, are you planning to get married again?” tanong ni Dad kay Riz.Uminom ng tubig ang asawa ko at ngumiti. “We haven’t really talked about the details, but maybe after the baby is born?” Tumingin siya sa akin. We do talk about it sometimes before going to sleep at night but there’s a lot going on at the moment so we haven’t really sat down and discuss it further.“I think it’s a good idea if you do it after the baby is born. You’ll have plenty of

JUSTIN, A few weeks later . . .NAKABALIK na kami sa Maynila at galing ako sa shop ni Riz. We ate lunch together at kararating ko lang sa office ngayon. Nasaan ba si Rowan at paano nakapasok ang babaeng ito rito?“What are you doing here?”“Hi, honey,” malandi niyang bati sa akin. Ang akala ko ay tumigil na siya sa panggugulo pero hindi pa rin pala.Si Veronica ang nadatnan kong nakaupo sa aking mesa. Sinadya niyang ipakita ang lace underwear niyang kulay pula. Maiksi ang damit niya at hapit na hapit. She was trying to seduce me by showing her cleavage too, but sad to say, wala akong nararamdaman para sa kaniya. There’s only one woman who can arouse me without doing anything—ang asawa ko lang.“Don’t call me that. Kung may kailangan ka, sabihin mo na para makaalis ka na.” Naupo ako sa swivel chair at binuksan ang laptop. Wala akong balak tingnan siya.Veronica stood up. Ang akala ko ay aalis na siya pero lumigid lang pala siya para tumayo sa may gilid ko. Sumandal siya nang bahagya sa

RIZI WAS told someone is looking for me. Hindi ko naitanong kung sino pero sumenyas ako sa staff na lalabas na ako. Nagpaalam ako kay Justin at nang matapos ang tawag ay pinuntahan ko ang client. I made sure that I look presentable. I’m currently wearing a sleeveless, above the knee maternity dress. Si Reysa ang pumili nito, magenta ang kulay. Feeling niya kasi baby girl din ang ipinagbubuntis ko. I matched it with flats in the same color and it has a rhinestone on top.“Good afternoon, ma’am. May I help you?” bati ko sa kaniya.Nakatalikod siya sa akin kaya hindi ko makita ang kaniyang mukha. From the back though, mukha siyang mamahalin. Her hair looked neat at mukhang alaga sa salon. Even the suit she wears looked expensive. I couldn’t tell if it was Dolce or Versace. Pare-pareho lang naman ’yon sa paningin ko at hindi ako mahilig sa gamit na branded. I like them, but I don’t need to have them. Basta komportable, okay na sa akin. At siyempre, kung may magbibigay, hindi ko tatanggih

JUSTINI JUST picked up my wife from her shop at napansin ko ang pananamlay niya. I was half an hour late but I did tell her earlier that I am going to try and cut my meeting short which I did. Na-traffic lang kami dahil sa construction at isa pa ay nag-umpisa na ang rush hour.I held her hand and caressed her palm. “What’s wrong?”Umiling lang siya at humilig sa dibdib ko. We are on our way to a Greek restaurant. Kapag sa bahay kami kumakain ay napipilitan siyang magkikilos. Her tummy is getting bigger. Kung puwede nga lang sa bahay na lang siya at hatiran ng pagkain sa kama ay gagawin ko. I’d rather have her on bedrest para masiguradong walang mangyayari sa kanila ng baby. I know I’m being over the top pero siguro ganito talaga kapag first time maging daddy. Naghahalo ang tuwa at takot pero lamang ang pag-aalala sa mga puwedeng maging komplikasyon.“May nangyari ba sa shop? May masakit sa ’yo? Tell me.” Hinaplos ko ang braso niya.Narinig ko ang pagbuntonghininga niya. “Do you know

RIZ“SHE came to see you?” Hindi ko napigilan ang pagkunot ng noo ko. Plano ba talagang manggulo ng mag-ina na ’yon at sa parehong araw pa nagpunta?“Baby—”“She came to see you. Kailan? Were you even planning to tell me about it?” Halos mag-isang linya na lang ang kilay ko sa inis.“Pagkabalik ko kaninang lunch sa office, nadatnan ko siya at—”“Kausap kita sa phone pero hindi mo binanggit. Ibig sabihin, wala kang planong sabihin sa ’kin.” Humalukipkip ako. Kung ang simpleng bagay na ’yon ay ayaw niyang sabihin, ano pa ang itatago niya sa sunod?“I was going to tell you tonight, but when I picked you up, you were upset. I don’t want to make you even more upset by telling you that my ex came to see me.”“Did she kiss you? Seduce you? Ano’ng suot niya?”Gah! She’s not exactly ugly. Hindi naman ’yon magiging girlfriend ni Justin noon kung hindi siya maganda. Men are visual creatures. Kaya nga mas madalas na gamitin ang ulo sa baba kaysa ang nasa taas dahil unang nagre-react ang alaga nil

RIZMAAGA akong nagising dahil excited akong magpunta sa OB. Today we’re going to know if we’re having a boy or a girl. Honestly, kahit naman ano’ng gender ay okay lang sa akin. Pero pakiramdam ko talaga, girl ang baby namin.Tulog na tulog pa si Justin and took the whole day off for this. Hindi ko siya ginising pero nagluto ako ng breakfast para sa aming dalawa. Bacon, eggs, and toasts ang pagsasaluhan namin. Coffee sa kaniya at apple juice para sa akin.I put the food on a tray at kumuha ako ng isang tangkay ng rosas mula sa plorera. Pinutulan ko ’yon ng tangkay at saka inilagay sa maliit na basong may tubig. Tinodo ko na ang effort.Inilapag ko ang tray sa side table at umupo sa gilid niya. Sometimes I still can’t believe we’re married . . . that he married me. Sana payapa na lang palagi ang buhay namin at walang problema, pero alam ko naman na kakambal na ’yon ng pagiging masaya. Hindi puwedeng maging masaya lang, darating at darating din ang problema.Pero hanggang narito si Just
Fake to Forever Chapter 65
JUSTINWE arrived at the clinic ten minutes early. Sometimes, I can’t believe I’m going to be a father. Parang kailan lang ay puro trabaho ang inaatupag ko. Now I have a wife and a baby on the way and I can’t wait to start having sleepless nights.Waking up to the baby’s cries in the middle of the night . . .Changing countless diapers . . .There are so many things to do and I know some are not looking forward to it because they do not want their routines to change. But for me, I’m looking forward to it. I can’t remember when I got so excited like this.“Hey, are you okay?” Riz was looking at me funny. I smiled at her and caressed her cheek. “Excited ka, ’no?” tudyo niya sa akin.“I’m excited and I can’t wait to meet our baby. Matagal pa ba? Gusto ko nang mapuyat.”Riz laughed. “Sa lahat ng magiging ama, ikaw lang yata ang narinig kong excited mapuyat. Don’t worry, we will take care of our baby together so you would have enough energy to go to the office.”I leaned forward and whispe
