I watched my husband as I lay limply inside the bath tub and he was washing me delicately. Like I was something made out of porcelain. Na any minute, maaaring mabasag.
Pinagmasadan kong maigi ang bawat kilos niya. Namumugto pa ang mga mata niya sa iyakang naganap sa pagitan namin kanina lang. Never kong na-imagine na hahagulgol nang ganoon ang asawa ko sa harap ko. Iba kase 'to eh, pa macho effect palagi. Pa-cool. Yung tipong, akala mo hawak niya ang mundo sa palad niya. Happy-go-lucky. Pero ibang Ram ang nakita ko kanina. Vulnerable. Breakable.
I extended my arm and laid a hand on his neck. He smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes. Hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip niya and it frustrates me.
"Say something.." I croaked. Masakit ang lalamunan ko matapos kong magsis
