Chapter 47: First

Chapter 47: Marriage

Angelica

It was a busy day, ngayon lang kami natapos ni Walter. We had to take calls from different people and tell them about our relationship, his secretary and my secretary couldn't do it by themselves so we needed to help din, so did the whole family, including mine, they were asked a couple of questions, kulang na nga lang magpa press conference na si Walter. We just finished eating dinner at his office, it was already 7 in the evening and pauwi na din kami. Walter was silently driving habang hawak ang kamay ko.

"Sleep, malayo pa naman tayo sa bahay love" he said, "Wag na, I already took a nap kanina." he just nodded and continued driving. For the meantime, I'm staying at their house kasi 3 days na lang pupunta na din kami sa New York, I already went to my condo kanina to grab some things, pinadala na din sa bahay nila. It was a tiring day, but nakapag pahinga na naman ako kanina, the road was still busy, kaya medyo traffic talaga. When we arrived nagulat kami nang may ibang naka park na sasakyan sa labas nang bahay nila. Pagpasok namin sa bahay nila agad kaming sinalubong ng isang katulong nila "Sir nandito po sina Sir Alex, Sir Leandro, at Sir Christian, sumunod na lang daw po kayo sa backyard, may naka handang pagkain na po doon, kayo nalang po hinihintay"

"Sige, Felice. Pakisabi na lang kay mom na we'll just change, susunod din kami" Felice nodded at umalis na din sa harapan namin, Walter hugged me tightly and kissed me, hinampas ko ang dibdib niya ng maghiwalay ang aming mga labi "Gago ka, baka makita tayo. Nakakahiya"

He chuckled "So what, it's normal. We're a couple"

"It's PDA"

"It's not PDA, nandito tayo sa bahay"

I just rolled my eyes at him at nauna na sa kwarto namin, we just freshened up and changed, agad na din kaming bumaba na magkahawak ang mga kamay. We went out to the backyard and saw his family along with our friends. "Nandito na pala ang bagong kasal, musta baby making?" biro ni Alex sa amin, agad ko syang nilapitan at binatukan, sabay yakap sa kanya, "Baliw ka talaga kahit kailan Alexandro" I thought he was gonna get pissed, but he just chuckled, is it just me or may nagbago sa kanya?

He looks kinda stressed out. I went to Tita and kissed her on the cheek binati ko din si tito, at mga kapatid ni Walter. I sat beside Grayn, and we all started eating, the men started talking about business. Kami naman nina Grayn at Tita ay nag-uusap na tungkol sa pangalan ng bagong kapatid nila Walter. I was busy talking with Tita and Grayn, ng namalayan ko na nasa garden sila Alex and Walter nag-uusap. They looked so serious, I wonder what Alex's problem was. Nang bumalik na sila, umupo na sa tabi ko si Walter.

"Nako ate and kuya, I saw your interview kanina, and I saw that Marga she's so malandi talaga and you know what, she's already famous on social media, I heard she fainted daw"

Natawa naman ako sa sinabi nya. "Yes, she did faint" I got my phone instead of telling Grayn about it baka marinig pa ni Walter. When she knew the reason why Marga fainted tawa nang tawa si Grayn, she stopped laughing when she saw someone, he was a teen, I think ka age nya lang si Grayn.

"Kuya!" lahat kami lumingon sa tinawag nyang kuya, it was Leandro.

They had a handshake and nagulat nalang ako nang lumapit sya kay Grayn at hinalikan ito sa ulo "I missed you" laglag ang panga namin ni Walter sa ginawa nito.

"Hoy! Cyan lumayo ka nga sa kapatid ko, hindi dahil kapatid ka ni Leandro papayagan na kitang ganyanin kapatid ko, pag yan nabuntis tatamaan ka talaga sa akin!" we all laughed at Walter's reaction, I hugged his waist to try and cool him down. "Pabaya.an mo na yang kapatid mo Walter, she knows what she's doing, besides your dad and I allowed her" natatawang sabi ni Tita.

"Hi Ate Angelica! I heard a lot about you from Kuya Walter. I'm Cyan Theodore Matthews, I'm Kuya Leandro's brother, half-brother, son of his dad, Kuya Walter talked non-stop about you when he lived with us in the US. In almost everything we did, he always mentioned you and-

Walter covered his mouth halatang napipikon na kay Theo "I'll allow you to go and date my sister as long as you shut that talkative mouth of yours, alright. Now go to my sister and talk to her as long as you damn want" he released Theo and agad naman itong pumunta kay Grayn, for the whole night he was like Grayn's puppy, he didn't move an inch away from her, nakasimangot naman lahat ng kapatid nya.

"Walter para kang gaga dyan, stop looking at Theo like the second he's gonna move away from Grayn, you're gonna chop him to pieces"

"Baby naman, she's our princess, we protect her, and that Cyan is a boy, he's dangerous- "And so are you, yet my parents allowed me to date you"

He pouted, parang damulag I giggled and kissed him on the lips "You're like a baby damulag" he just laughed at what I said. Umalis na din sila Alex, Leandro, at Christian when it reached 10. May trabaho pa kasi sila, si Christian naman ay hinahanap na nang anak, Cyan is going to sleep here sa bahay nila Walter, sa guest room, alangan naman sa kwarto ni Grayn, gusto nya pang mabuhay kaya sa guest room sya matutulog. They decided to go straight to the entertainment room kasi gusto pa daw nilang manood ng movies.

Kami naman ni Walter ay umakyat na sa kwarto namin, I was shocked when he started kissing me the moment we went inside his room. I kissed him back, and then it happened. The moment I woke up I felt like a thousand trucks run past me, my body hurts. When I looked at the time it was 12 in the afternoon, I was that tired huh. We slept at 3am, and Walter is nowhere to be found. I slowly got out of bed, fixed myself and took a shower.The moment I got dressed, I got out of the bathroom, I saw Walter on our bed, sitting with a wide smile.

"Does it hurt?" agad ko syang nilapitan at sinabuntan, "Of course it hurts, gaga ka, even peeing hurts you moron!" He didn't stop me from pulling his hair, he just hugged me tightly, nang ma bawasan na ang inis ko sa kanya< I sat beside him, he was hugging my waist "Let's eat our food at the terrace, pinahanda ko na kay manang while you were in the shower." I smiled when I went to the terrace. There was sinigang, broccoli, and rice. We started eating and somehow I felt better, he also made me drink pain relievers. He decided to go to his office tomorrow, and mamayang hapon na lang kami lalabas, we'll go straight to Felix's house. We decided to watch movies na lang, while we were watching he had to do some work on his laptop kaya nama ay ako lang ang nanood. I got emotional when the movie finished, namatay kasi yung babae, she was sensitive to sunlight, but because of the man she loved she got exposed to sunlight, she did a lot of fun things together with the man she loved, pero lumala yung sakit nya dahil ilang beses syang naarawan, so she died, but I knew on her last days she was happy, because she got to spend it with her father, her best friend, and the man she loved. Walter hugged me and kissed my head when he saw me crying. "It's okay love. Don't cry. At least she died happy, not miserable" he caressed my back and comforted me.

"You should go change, it's 2 na, we'll still visit Nostra's kid right" I nodded at what he said, agad naman akong nagbihis. I just wore a simple white blouse, jeans, and nude sandals. When we got out of his room, the whole house was quiet, na sa kanilang sariling mga kwarto ang magulang at mga kapatid ni Walter. Sinabihan na lang ni Walter si manang na umalis kami incase his parents look for us. We rode in his car and drove to Felix's place.

I rang the doorbell when we reached Felix's home. Si manang ang nagbukas ng pinto at pina pasok kami "Manang is Felix and Lucio home?"

"Ay opo ma'am na sa basement po ang mag ama tinuturuan po ni Sir Felix ang Señorito na gumamit ng baril. Puntahan nyo nalang po sa basement." Tumago naman ako kay manang at pumunta na kami ni Walter sa basement. There we saw Felix and Lucio.

I went to the intercom and spoke. "Lucio?" Lucio looked so serious when he looked at us, but when he clearly saw my face, he put the gun on the table and removed his gear, he ran up to us and hugged me tightly "I missed you Mama"

I smiled, mama pa din talaga ang tawag nya sa akin, kasi ayon sa kanya I'm still his mom, because he raised me. "My sweet Lucio, I missed you too" I bent to reach him for a hug as well. He broke our hug and handed out his hand to offer Walter a handshake. "And you must be my mama's boyfriend Walter Grey RIvera Arkinson, I heard a lot about you mister, and I am a fan of your work, I always see you on tv too, and mama talks a lot about you too. I'm Lucian Arterio Cosa Nostra." Walter looked amazed when he shook Lucian's hand "Nice meeting you young man, your mama uhm told me you're 7,is she sure about that?"

Lucio nodded "She sure is"

"Call me Tito Walter." Lucio just nodded and went back to me. Felix and Walter went to go talk in the backyard, while me and Lucio went to the kitchen, and we started eating the cake Walter and I brought on our way here. Lucio and I talked about his studies and his recent achievements. He told me about the award he just got in a Mathematics contest. I was happy and proud of him, at a young age he has so many achievements already. When Walter and Felix came back I was relieved to see no bruised or bleeding body parts. We decided to stay for dinner as well, I was also the one who tucked Lucio to bed. When we went home, I asked Walter kung ano ang pinag usapan nila ni Felix, but he just told me it was a man to man talk and no matter how much I forced him to tell me about it, hindi talaga siya pumayag.
