The Couple

DJ is with his friends Lukas and Vineto. " Woah. Staying in abroad makes you more popular man!" Lukas hug DJ. " Late again Lukas? " Vineto commented. " Well you know I am a family man now so my wifey first before anything else." Lukas proud voice can be feel. Vineto eyes widened in disbelief. " I cannot believe that the player Lukas just said that. Who are you really? " DJ laughingly ask. " But seriously man. I didn't believe it also at first. I am afraid of commitment, I am afraid I might hurt her so I avoided her. But destiny wins and we met again. The rest is history. " Lukas seriously replied. " You're lucky man..." DJ answered while the image of Fei appeared on his mind. His jaw tightened while he remembered her.

This will be the year before graduation for DJ . Fei is second year college and is new in the city. She is pretty and witty that she became popular and DJ being the only successor of Del Ruiz Corporation is a nerd. He didn't join any kind of sport because he finds it useless, he cannot use in business. He is just the quiet one and wears thick glasses. DJ is the one who follows rules and Fei is not. She is not that smart, but she is the leader of cheering squad for basketball. She has the warm smile for everyone.

It is dinner, Madam and Rea are waiting for DJ who just came late. They have their dinner silently. " As a wife you should take care of your husband. Do not let the maid take care of him specially that he is drunk..." Madam speaks after eating. " Yes grandma. " is the only anwser of Rea.

Rea and DJ are in their room and as ordered by Madam Del Ruiz she didn't ask any of the maid to touch her husband. DJ is not that drunk this time unlike the last time. He doesn't want to do anything and think anything. He is just upset about everything but he cannot do anything because he loves his grandma so much. Let her do what she wants is what he is thinking right now. DJ is tipsy this time and he accidentally threw some wine in his clothes that is why he smelled like one.

DJ throw his self on the bed and Rea sighed. She stare of the big body of DJ in the bed. She silently sit beside DJ and started to remove the upper button of his polo sleeve with a cold emotion. "Fei..." he murmured. He is now ***** in the upper part of his body. However Rea didn't even blink an eye. She get a tshirt in the drawer and gently put on his head first. She needs to let him in sitting position for him to wear so she pull him gently by sitting in his lap and hug him while pulling forward to her so it looks like he is hugging her, his hands are at the top of her shoulders. She manage to do it fast but little did she know that DJ almost didn't breathed. This is the first time that his body and her body have that close physical contact, she smells nice. " Is she really this innocent ? Why am I expecting more?" DJ thought. After changing his clothes , Rea decided to sleep on the big sofa that facing their bed.

The sun hits Rea's face on top of the king size bed. She was a little puzzled how she got in the bed, of course it was her so called husband doing. She is really confused how DJ treated her cold last night then the next day he will be this sweet. " Rea is lucky to have you as a husband 'panda face'..." she thought.

It is early and everybody are not awake yet incuding the maids. DJ being in abroad for 3 years didn't yet adjust in his own country timing. He wakes up and saw this little innocent woman sleeping on the big sofa. He is supposed to walk towards the shower and passed through her but he stopped infront pf her. " Beauty can be deceitful, David Johnson.... how can this beautiful creature in front of me can do all the tragic incidents that happened to Fei...?" he even questioned his self now. DJ gently put his arms under Rea's little body and put on top of their bed before going to shower. " It will be a problem if grandma will see her in the sofa." DJ talked to himself as if giving an excuse to his action.

Rea is busy on her small garden when a visitor came. It is her mother, Rea's mother, Mrs. Carpio. They went to the master's bedroom and closed the door to make sure no one hears what they are talking about. " You are wrong. I thought you said he will not live here. " Rea stated. " I miscalculated it. I did not expect that Madam Del Ruiz will insist on having a great grandchild and David will return." Mrs. Carpio hissed. " These things are not in the contract Mrs. Carpio. From the first place , I do not care about these matter, I hate surprises." Rea's cold emotion alerted Mrs. Carpio. " Look , I will pay more... I can even let your papa have a medication in Abroad. Trust me he can be cured... And just think about 'her' .... she has also suffered ..." Mrs. Carpio's eyes are filled with tears.

" Why would I even care about her when from the first place she had chosen this. She knew he didn't love her. She knew he will not look at her, but why would she even enter a marriage with this guy? Is it because of money ? Is it because of Mrs. Carpio, her mother? .... Is it really possible she has fallen in love? " Rea thought while not being affected by Mrs. Carpio's teary face.

" I am Roa Dominguez, not long ago when I am a stranger in everyones life. They have their own lives while I am living happily in my innocent world far from them. I am a tourist guide in a valley where it is not that popular. We are only a thousand plus population in that area and most of the population are seniors. Why?
