~ Two months later ~
It is almost their wedding day. Lea made up her mind to await the babies' arrival before having their marriage. Though it was not the main plan but Aga concurred anyway. He wanted to marry Lea before she could give birth but things occured. Financially, they weren't prepared enough yet. Don Arnaldo offered his help but Aga refused once again. He wants to give Lea the wedding of her dream through his own effort. It might not be that grand in comparison to his previous one but his emotions are poured upon this wedding. He is getting married again but this time around would be to the woman of his life.
Both of them woke up with two babies crying at one same time. Lea took Simon while Aga has Psalm in his arms. Sleepless nights overwhelm their first days of being parents to their twins. Both of them concurred to name the twins Arnold Simon and Psalm Arnold. It was derived from his dad's name Arnaldo. Whilst Simon is named after Lea's dad, Psalm is her grandpa's first name as well. They take turns at night while Lea has all the chores during the day. Aga got accepted to another company with the same position, and fortunately has a good pay. It helped him a lot to provide their needs. Inspite of Lea's persistence to go back working once the little ones are six months old, Aga doesn't want her to. He has been telling her to file resignation instead. It was yet a blur as Lea cannot envisaged herself being at home. Motherhood is the best job she ever had but seeing Aga does all the working, she feels the need to help him.
"Babe, ako na dito. Just go back to sleep. Maaga ka pa bukas", she tells him.
"I'm fine. We both have plenty in our plates tomorrow. You'll check on the wedding planning pa. How's it going, babe?", he asked.
"It's going pretty well naman. Jason and Emma are always just a phone away. Besides, Jason has a lot of connections. Magagaling na wedding planners yung nirecommend niya, babe"
"That's good to hear", he hums a lullaby to their little Psalm.
"Why are you so good at putting them back to sleep?", she asked and Aga chuckled at her question.
"It's better that you know I have them three on my side", he proudly responsed.
"Nagkakampihan kayong apat ha", she jested.
He pulls her waist gently, "We can always make our fourth one. Besides, Eli wants a baby sister eh"
She rolled eyes, "Palibhasa hindi ikaw yung magbubuntis eh. Ang galing mo lang gumawa, di naman ikaw yung mahihirapan for nine months. Atsaka, maawa ka naman sakin, babe. Di madaling magbuntis lalo na at my age"
"Well, in that sense, it may help you decide to file resignation na. Mahirap magbuntis as what you've said", he jested but Lea seems not convinced of his alibi.
"Are you serious? May balak ka talagang dagdagan pa? Dios mio"
His snicker fills in the solemn moment settled around them. It feels so comforting for her to be standing next to the man of her life. As she looks back those times her world was like a never ending bumpy road, she could say it was all worth it. Life has taught her a lot and she never regret any of it. Though it was tough but finding him was the best part.
