The dinner began the moment they stepped in the dining hall. Maverick's mom and sisters are already there, his friends as well. And as planned, they will sing him a happy birthday song upon arriving at the dining hall. Connor even popped a party poppers. Muntik pa s'yang matamaan noong sumabog iyon, buti na lamang at nasangga agad ni Maverick.
"Dude, careful." Maverick told his friend. Connor immediately apologized. She just smiled and said it's nothing.

Everything happened too fast. One moment, she was watching how her gift fell on the ground and on how Maverick stepped on the sonogram because he's in a hurry to attend to Jordyn. And another moment, she's watching her husband as it worries about his ex-girlfriend who's giving birth at the moment.Her heart aches at the scene she's seeing. She can't help but wonder if he would be like this when it's her time to give birth.Surely, he will. It's his child after all but how about her? Will he feel that scared for her when it was her inside the operating room.She doubts it."Maverick..." She called him. He was near the double doors of the operating room, worried sick.

"Will you please listen to me first?" Maverick asked, stopping her from totally leaving by holding her on her elbow."What do I have to hear, Maverick? I'm not stupid, I know where I should stand in every situation," she said.Ano pa ba kasi ang dapat niyang marinig? Hindi pa ba sapat na sobra na siyang nasasaktan dahil sa nalaman n'ya? Kailangan niya pa bang makarinig ng iba para ano? Para masaktan lang siya lalo? Huwag na lang."Honey...""Maverick naman!" She asked, turning to face him."Just hear me out, please? I don't want you to sleep upset because of me again," he said."Ano pa ba kasing kailangan

Maverick was stunned by what she said. He wasn't saying anything and was just staring at her. So, she smiled and caressed his both cheeks using her thumbs."You don't have to answer. I just really want to tell you how I feel," she said.Maverick held both of her hands that are still in his face, he removed it from there and squeezed."You're making me happy, Emilia. I can't believe a small woman like you can make me feel so much happiness," he said and she couldn't help but roll her eyes from his remark."Ang yabang mo alam mo?" She fired back.Maverick laughed then pulled her to embrace, she can feel the vibration of his laughter from his chest."I like you so much, Emilia. I might not be where you are already, but I assure you that I'm almost there," he said, cupping her face. "Can you wait for me?" He then asked.Without thinking any further, she nodded with a wide smile. "I will," she answered.She knows she's betting on a gamble again but it's Maverick, her husband and the father

"Are you really sure about this?" Sandro asked her from the side. He's her best friend and he's been worrying about the deal she had agreed on; as if may magagawa pa ito."I'm really sure of it, Sands. I told you, you don't have to worry about me anymore, okay?" paninigurado niya naman dito.She was sitting in front of a lighted vanity mirror as a stylist style her hair beautifully. Inaayos nito ang pagkakabitan ng kanyang belo para mamaya."What the hell, Alessandro! Ako ang ika-kasal pero bakit ikaw pa ang tensionado?" tanong n'ya pa nang makita ang paghugot nito ng malalalim na hininga mula sa repleksyon nito sa salamin.Umiling-iling naman ito sa kanya. "You can't blame me, Gian! I'm your best friend and it was a fucking news to me!" asik nito. "Besides, this isn't the wedding you had dreamed of having," he added. She could see sadness in his eyes, he was sad for her.But she just shrugged. "I have never dreamed of any wedding, Sands. I knew from that start that this is my fate" s

"It would be a shame not tasting him."Parang biglang gustong masuka ni Gian ng maalalang pinagnasaan n'ya si Maverick sa mismong seremonya ng kanilang kasal. Kung alam nya lang sana ay hindi n'ya man lang siya tumingin dito.Ang walang hiya! Hindi naman niya alam na napakahambog naman pala ng mapapangasawa niya! Hanggang ngayon ay nasa isip pa rin niya ang mga sinabi nito sa kanya ng inanunsyo na ng pari na maaari na siyang halikan nito."This will only be on papers," sabi nito saka siya hinalikan sa gilit ng kanyang labi.Ang kapal ng mukha! Para namang gusto niyang makasal siya rito. Huh! Pasalamat ito at kaharap nila pari at kanilang mga bisita ng mga oras na iyon dahil kung hindi ay susupalpalin n'ya ito iyong oras din na iyon."Oh, bakit nakasimangot?" Sandro asked, nasa upuan siya na nakalaan sa kanilang dalawa ni Maverick habang ang magaling niyang asawa ay naroon sa lamesa ng mga kaibigan nito, naglalasing."Nagsisisi na ako, Sands," ani n'ya."At bakit na naman.

"How are the two of you so far?" her father asked. They were in his office to talk about their company's merger with Maverick's mom's company."We're fine, Dad," she answered, shrugging. Gusto pa sana niyang idugtong na tulog lamang s'ya buong magdamag ng kanilang unang gabi, but of course, she won't tell that!"I'm glad to hear that, hija. I was afraid that you'll change your mind once you live under one roof with my son," Maverick's mom said."Oh, no po, Ma'am. That is never going to happen," she answered. "We're doing just fine po. Medyo nag a-adjust palang po, but that will never be a problem, right, honey?" she answered, turning to Maverick who's sitting beside her.Nagtaas naman ito ng kilay sa kanya na agad niyang pinandilatan para makuha ang gusto niyang sabihin."Of course, Mom. You don't have to worry, okay? We're fine," he answered, smiling at his mother."That's good. And hija, please stop calling me ma'am, you should get used of calling me mommy or mom. Anak na rin kita s

"These are my friends," Maverick said, introducing her to all of his friends whom she didn't bother to remember their names.Para saan pa? She's sure, at the first place, that Maverick doesn't have any intention of introducing her to his friends. It just happened that he was caught up with this situation, leaving him no choice but to do it."And this is, Vanelope, Easton's wife. Gavin's wife, Morgan and Jorge, Caius'." He added, introducing the three girls sitting at the separate couch from the boys.He then turned to her, "this is my wife, Gianna Emilia." He introduced her to them."Hello," she greeted his friends, trying hard to look genuine with her smile. "I preferred to be called Gian," she said.And she was surprised when one of the girls suddenly jumped to hug her, iyong Jorge."Careful, baby..." a guy spoke, iyong Caius ata na asawa nitong si Jorge.Jorge giggles as she rubs her big tummy. "I'm sorry. I'm just happy to finally meet her." Sagot nito."You already met her in the

The next day was like usual since they got married. Maaga siyang nagising para mag bilin ng ilang trabaho sa opisina bago sila umalis papuntang Palawan sa hapon ng araw ding iyon.Maverick wasn't on her side when she woke up like usual. Laging ganun naman ang eksena nila tuwing umaga simula nang magsama sila, at pabor iyon para sa kanya. She have all the time to lurk on their bathroom and walk in closet without worrying that he might barge in to use the facility.It took her almost half an hour taking a bath at paglabas ng kanilang silid ay naabutan n'ya ang asawa na nasa kusina, kasama si Connor habang nag-aalmusal.Huh! Hindi man lang ako inaya. She mentally said to herself.Luh? At sino ka naman para ayain? Special ka, girl? She spat back to herself. Napapailing na lamang siya sa sarili dahil para na naman siyang baliw na nakikipag-away sa isip n'ya."Good morning, Emilia!" Connor greeted her, napangiwi pa ito ng ngitian siya.
