The next day I woke up finding myself snuggling in to her. I smiled from the sight of her adorable sleeping face so close to me.

"Hmmm..." I moved a bit but she hissed. I must've disturbed her sleep.

"Magandang umaga marikit na binibini."

Napangiti ako ng sa paggising nya sa umaga ay unang mga katagang lalabas sa bibig nya ang magpapatunaw ng kalooban ko. She's so effin sweet.

"Kagigising mo palang yan ka na agad. Tss." Sabi ko pa habang nakadungo sa dibdib nya at namumula.

"Kinilig ka naman."

"Tsk. Tayo na nga. May lakad pa'ko."

"Hmm? Where?"

"Going to check on the site. Hindi kasi ako nakadalaw kahapon."

"Wala ka bang taong binilinan dun?"

"Meron syempre. My trusted engineer and architect. But I still want to have an update with the operation. And I want to see how everything is going there myself."

"Hmm..." Tango-tango nyang sagot.

"Pero pwede ka ba sa lunch? I told you yesterday I want to introduce you to someone right? And also, you miss Diego and Patrick. Gusto mo silang makita at ganun din sila. They are free this afternoon. What do you say?"

"Of course! I'm in! Mabilis lang naman ako sa site. Miss ko na rin sila." Malaki ang ngiti na sagot ko kaya mahina syang napatawa. She kissed my head and I automatically closed my eyes by her action.

"Well then go. Medyo late na din kaya kailangan mo ng maghanda. Uuwi din muna ako para magpalit. You take shower and I'll ask someone to prepare our breakfast."

"Okay."

Bago ako umalis sa tabi nya ay binigyan ko muna sya ng halik sa pisnge. Pagkatapos nun ay nagtungo ako ng banyo para makaligo at makapaghanda.

"Yes mom, dad. I told you, kami na nga ulit."

"Aww! That's good! I always knew you will find each other again. That's so adorable."

"Mom, para ka namang bata." Iiling kong sabi habang nakangiti.

"What's wrong? I'm just stating facts here. Right hubs?"

Napakagat ako ng labi para pigilan ang pagtawa dahil sa endearment ni mom kay dad. Ang baduy na sweet. Hahaha.

"Sort of. But Tash honey,"

"Yes dad?"

"Nothing. I'm just overwhelmed. You know after what I did four years ago. I really misinformed her. Kung mas nagkalap pa sana ako ng impormasyon dati baka sana hindi nangyari ang paghihiwalay nyo noon. Nasaktan kita, kayo. Dahil sa ginawa ko. And knowing that she's back again ready to resume what you paused years ago, I just can't help but to feel gu —"

"Dad, no. Please don't think of it like that. Art never blamed anyone for what happened between us. She believes it's the work of destiny and so do I. I believe what she believes. And not only that, para samin hindi parusa ang nangyari sa'min ng mga nagdaang panahon. We believe it's for ourselves too. To shape us, prepare us, and be a better versions of ourselves. That being said, look what are we now. May mga trabaho na kami at stable na ang pamumuhay namin. We can freely do what we want now. I can finally live the life you wanted for me. But this time, she's with me. And that's all what I wanted. Isn't that great?"
