Couldn't insert the random record (6 mins lang yun so ewan gano ko katagal ito i-type and reread again to look back) I have saved last night when my husband and I were genuinely conversing as the file is too large so let me make some kwento nalang... 😆
I dressed up and went to town bc I wanted to go to church and mainly to go ukay before meeting my husband. Di ko na ikkwento yung usapan namin ni lord but let's focus on the point na I was actually looking for a certain type of shoulder bag—black with gold details—bc I needed to replace my year old bag.
We happen to pass by an ukay shop selling preloved statement bags and there it was, hanging on a hook from the ceiling, a black Christian Dior Saddle!
My husband said it was pricy and that I have to think about it pa, ng ilang beses. Nakapag-walking and grocery na kami and I still couldn't get it out of my mind so i asked him to heklp me na tawaran pa, that we would go back sa stall. It was already closed then, so I told to myself na "ah okay, then it's not meant for me". When we got home, I showed my husband how much the real price of it online—6 digits.
I dressed up again since I needed to go home to our compound for Easter lunch, and that maybe baka lumabas kami after... but they didn't pick me up, saying mag-taxi nalang daw since they're not done preparing; my brother even questioning why did I dress-up eh sa bahaylang naman daw ang punta ko. It was because I was contemplating if I should go to town, dropby in the church... and then at the stall... and then maybe check the bag again. But with that feedback from my brother and the time constraint, I decided to dress down and then umuwi samin. So again, "okay it's not for me". nakwento ko pa siya sa bahay during our lunch.
Past 5PM and I still haven't received a message from husband na pa-out na siya, since that's his routine. My parents also kept asking kung otw na ba siya bc they wan't to have dinner with him since wala siya nung lunch. At almost 6PM, "Hi babe, andito ako sa work mo, nalimutan ko", again, opart of his routine to pick me up at work and nawala sa isip niya na it was sunday. Basta, ang tagal lang niya dumating sa compound, tapos when he arrived at home sabi niya kanina pa daw siya and dumaan pa kila lola nakipagkwentuhan.
While waiting for dinner, he even told me that i should mention the CD bag to them and its original price, which i already did during lunch. Tapos biglang nag-joke na, kaya ako natagalan kasi I binalikan ko yung bag ko. I didn't believe himat first bc he's not that type of guy to buy expensive 'wants' unless that's for house equipment. So i brushed it off and we didn't talk about it again.
On our way home, he casually said "binalikan ko yung bag na gusto mo pero wala na, kaya i bought your second choice" and I didn't know how to react bc I didn't have a second choice! I did check another bag, a coach one, but it wasn't really a type=-type na gusto kong bilhin kahit na it was slightly cheaper. I was anxious. My feelings are everywhere idk but I didn't wanna hurt his feelings!!! I couldn't tell him na there's no second choice and i was fine about the fact na it's just the saddle or none since na-accept ko naman na it wasn't for me. HUHUHUHAHAHA
After settling at home since nag-ayos pa kami ng mga things na inabot from the package. I love being loved! So going back, while I was fixing the books na kinuha ko from my original room, he then again mentioned "nahihiya na ako, pano kung di mo gusto? Kasi parang mas excited ka sa pasalubong" (yes, sino di maeexcite sa detergent powder, dishwashing liquid, etc haha they know me talaga taga-laba and taga-hugas, lalo na i'm such a wifey now). Anyway, so there it was again, the anxiety building up and not wanting to hurt him. He went out of the house and kinuha niya, I wasn't looking parin but he tried getting my attention, "sorry babe nakuha na kasi yung gusto mo kaya itong second choice mo kinuha ko" BUT THERE IT WAS THE CHRISTIAN DIOR SADDLE IN HIS HANDS, IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!! 😍🥹
Kaya pala he wanted me to mention sa bahay! He just wants everyone to see I'm happy pero hindi niya ma-timing and it was still a perfect moment for us alone in our own house. "I know you wanted it. And you deserve it. Happy ako na nakikitang happy ka" huhuhu and ayun, kinwento niya pano niya binili but he still didn't want to tell how much was he able to haggle! Hahaha! Tinatamad na ko mag-type but grabe din talaga the build-up, my husband is so smart when it comes to surprises!!! I love being loved!!! Thank you, G! Blessed and grateful as always! 💜☺️
