AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEW
Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang aking pinakawalan na'ng sa wakas ay makarating na ako sa bahay. Tahimik ko'ng binuksan ang pintuan. Pero bakit sobrang tahimik naman yata?
Isn't he home yet?
Nagmadali ako'ng pumasok. Subalit ganoon na lamang ang gulat ko dahil sa aking nadatnan.
Napatalon ako sa gulat na'ng salubungin ako ng isang party popper. Tumingala ako at sinalubong ang mga nahuhulog na confetti. Ang iba pa rito'y sinasalo ko gamit ang isang kamay at tsaka muling isasaboy paitaas
Inside was Damon, smiling from ear to ear.
Kunot ang noo ko'ng nilingon siya. "Okay? What's this?"
I was shocked to see he wasn't done yet. Nilibot ko ng tingin ang buong kabahayan, different from what it used to look like.
Napuno ng mga balloons ang iba't-ibang corner ng silid. Naagaw ang aking atensiyon ang malaking banner sa git

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEW"Ano?!"Napatayo ako dahil sa sinabi ni Damon. "Baby.."Napatulala ako, hanggang ngayon ay gulat pa 'rin sa mga pangyayari. Hayyy."Hindi naman magtatagal rito si Lola, dalawang linggo lamang at babalik na siya ulit sa Laguna. Amber, please? Besides, she wanted to meet you. She wasn't present in our wedding, remember?" paglalambing nito.I sighed. "Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko?"Maaga kami'ng umuwi ni Damon, kailangan ko kasi mag-ayos sa bahay at ihanda ang guest room para sa Lola ni Damon. Yes, she's planning to have a vacation in our house for two weeks.I haven't met his grandmother before. Kaya ganito na lamang ang kaba ko. Takot sa kung ano'ng mararamdaman nito para sa'kin.Will she like me for his grandson?"Baby, wag ka na masyado mag-alala. Mabait si Lola, she's the best. And I know she will

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEW"Hija? Ikaw ba'y hindi pa inaantok? Ala'y alas dose na at gising ka pa riyan," sita ni Lola Esther."Ahh, hindi pa naman po. Hinihintay ko po kasi si Damon 'eh," sagot ko naman.Pero ang totoo niyan ay kanina ko pa gusto'ng-guto na ipikit ang mga mata ko. Nasaan na ba kasi si Damon? Bakit ang tagal niya umuwi?Hindi ko alam pero biglang sumama ang kutob ko. No, no, no, wala'ng mangyayari'ng masama. Knock on the woods!"Kung ganoon ay sasamahan na lang muna kita rito. Bakit naman kaya kay tagal umuwi ng asawa mo'ng 'yon ha?" saad nito tsaka ako tinabihan sa couch."Hindi ko 'rin po alam. Hindi 'rin naman po siya nag text or what.

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEWPuno man ng mga katanungan ang isip ko ay pilit ko iyong iwinaksi. Ayaw ko'ng umuwi na may dala'ng pag-aalala dahil sa ikinikilos ko.For how many months of being a married couple, Damon has been taking care of me so good. Kaya ngayon ay gusto ko naman bumawi sa kaniya.I am undeniably lucky with him. I couldn't help but to wonder, kung hindi ba ako nagpapanggap bilang si Amber ay mararanasan ko 'rin ang ganitong pagmamahal mula sa the one ko?I wanted Damon to feel I am not the only one who's lucky in this relationship. He is a good husband, he deserves the best."What do you have there?" tanong nito na'ng makita ang dala ko'ng supot."Ahh, binili kita ng prutas." Inilabas ko ang mga dala mula sa supot tsaka siya pinagbalat."Kamusta? Masakit pa 'rin ba ang mga sugat mo?" tanong ko.He stared at me. "What? I w

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEWLate na ako'ng nakauwi kagabi dahil may urgent na meeting sa company. So, I decided to sped the whole day with Damon in the hospital."Do you want anything? Let's watch movies? Or you want to eat something?" I asked.He smirked at me. Kasunod ay sumenyas ito sa akin na lumapit ako sa kaniya."I want cuddle," he said, pouting. Kaagad ko naman siyang niyapos, sino ba naman ang makakatiis sa ganitong klaseng lalaki?"Bakit ang clingy mo? Siguro may kasalanan ka sa'kin noh?" he said suspiciously.I raised one eyebrow. "What?" I asked innocently."What did you do?" he asked and crossed his arms."What? What did I do? You said you want cuddles so I give it to you, and now you're suspecting me? I can't believe you, husband," I said.He pouted again. "Sorry naman po, naninigurado lang. Baka kasi binabakuran

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEWIlang linggo na ang lumipas na'ng magkaroon kami ng pagtatalo ni Mom. And I must say things changes, they absolutely do.Unlike before that Mom and Dad weren't giving a sheez for me at all, their eyes were on us. Hindi ako tanga para hindi mahalata na pinasusundan niya ako araw-araw. Kaya naman natuto ako'ng maging maingat sa mga galaw ko dahil roon."Baby, can we talk?"I was doing something in my laptop when Damon approached me. "About what?" I asked."Nothing, you were just like so bothered and problematic about something nowadays, no I mean- matagal ko na'ng napapansin. Is there something bothering you?" he asked.

AMARIE’S POINT OF VIEWDamon was fast asleep as of Nine in the evening. I was lying on the bed with him while brushing his hair up using my fingers and humming a song.I was in the middle of doing that when my phone rang.I was curious to see Feri’s name on top of it. I immediately answered the call, thinking it must have be urgent.“What’s up?” bungad ko.“Hey, cous. Is Mister CEO with you?” she asked.My brows furrowed. “He is, why?” I replied.“Well, uhh. You know, I was just looking forward to catch up with you? Same old. Bar, party, drink, unwind.” I bit my lower lip in hesitation.“I am not hearing his voice, so I assume he is asleep? Yea, come on Amber!” sigaw nito sa kabilang linya.

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEWWe went back to the Manila right that night. Dad warned me and tried to stop me, but I really convinced Damon hard just to get out of the place.Many days had come and I must say that I and Damon become busier regarding the company.Desidido na ako'ng umamin sa kaniya. Naghihintay lamang ako ng tamang panahon at nag-iipon ng lakas ng loob.Damon is a great guy indeed, I just can't..I don't know where to start. I don't want to hurt his feelings. Pero 'yun lang ang tanging paraan ara malaman niya ang totoo."You go and rest, ako na ang bahala dito. Masyado mo naman kasi pinapagod ang sarili mo," I said.I am not stupid to know he is not feeling alright. Ilang gabi na'ng halos wala siya'ng tulog dahil sa trabaho. Between one to two am na siya kung umuwi, and then get up in four in the morning. Sino ba naman ang hindi ma s-stress?"I'm f

AMARIE'S POINT OF VIEW"N-Nico..""Ynigo, ano ba?! M-Masakit sabi!" Halos kaladkarin na niya ako papasok sa kaniyang kotse. Nang mabuksan ang pintuan ay padarag niya ako'ng ibinalibag sa backseat. Napadaing ako nang tumama sa pintuan ang ulo ko. Subalit 'di kalauna'y napapikit nang marahas niyang isara ang pintuan ng kotse. Madilim ang kaniyang mga mata, 'di man lamang ako magawa'ng tapunan ng tingin. Dire-diretso niyang tinungo ang driver's seat tsaka binuhay ang makita ng sasakyan. "Y-Ynigo, saan tayo pupunta?" He shouldn't drive at this state. He's fuming mad, masyadong delikado! "Ynigo!" "Slow down!" sigaw ko nang walang pag-iingat ang naging pagmamaneho nito. I kept talking to him in the car, trying to cool his head. "
