Marriage Advice No. 1



I turned off the faucet, as I can't hear clearly the speaking voice behind the bathroom door. "Ha?", I said. "Alam ko na 'yung sinasabi mong clone. Siya 'yung Tatay ni Rey. Magiging scavenger sila. Blah blah." "Anak ng clone si Rey?" I said, but actually I was pertaining to the other clone, Fin. I did not correct him. We were talking about these before I enter the bathroom to take a bath. 


Months ago, I started to entice him to watch this amazing saga. "Panuorin mo 'yun. Maganda istorya nu'n" I told him. And just days ago, he surprised me, "Maganda 'tong movie. Ayaw mo panuorin." and then, seeing Rogue One playing on the screen.


I watched it again with him. All of the trilogies and saga. 


Now, here, we're down to the latest trilogy, which I admit was the least I fully understand among the saga, the very reason why we had the conversation that he is now continuing while am taking a bath, boy, I never thought he would be this hooked. 


"Dapat kasi may panuorin muna bago yan para maintindihan natin lalo. Parang ang layo ng laktaw." I suggest. He continued to tell the background story of Rey. "Tapusin ko lang paliligo ko. Mamaya na." he continued speaking as he walks away from the bathroom door.


I smiled and laughed. I realized he is so into it already. Maybe more than I was or I'll ever be. Because I wouldn't be so eager to talk about it with someone inside the bathroom. I would wait.


"Maganda pala 'to. 'Di ko 'to naappreciate dati." he, too, said these words I said when he told me to watch Spiderman, his favorite.


And that, maybe, is one of the things that would never be taken for granted in marriage. Bringing in your different world to combine. Not going in to his world or him to yours but combining your both worlds together. 


I maybe too early to give marriage advices but isn't the honeymoon stage is the sweetest? So am writing this also for myself in the future. Maybe I'll need it. Maybe we'll need this.


I wanted to remember that though he is Spiderman and I'm a Skywalker, we both love our worlds together and that it's perfect!
