Chapter 42

“I won’t get up until you tell me the magic word,” Auden growled from the other line. He sounded like a child asking for candy.

Kanina niya pa ako kinukulit para sabihin ang magic word. Pinapabangon ko na siya para mag-ready dahil ngayon ang balik namin sa Bulacan. But this man is acting like a baby. Well, for me he is but not a literal baby.

Kaunti na lang ay bibigay na ako sa pangungulit niya. Inaasar ko lang naman siya na ayoko. Good thing, he keep on persuading me. Galit na ang tono niya. Ang aga-aga ay puro kami ka-kornihan. Bumuga ako ng hangin, wala na akong nagawa pa kung hindi ang pagbigyan na lang siya.

“Good morning! I love you~” malambing na saad ko. I heard some low-pitched and slightly hoarse laugh from the phone. Is he laughing?

“I love you, too. I’m going to prepare as you wished, wife,” he said, like he is a genie granting my wish.
