That Timeless Fall (That Trilogy 3)

Epilogue

Epilogue

NIVA THREW the small bouquet of white roses. The girls shrieked and when the unfamiliar girl caught it, Emm and Rostell laughed so hard. Katatapos lang ng aming kasal and here we are, trying this after-wedding thing.

"Hala, si Aria! Wow, excited na ako!" It was Emm who was laughing hardly.

Aria? Kaibigan niya ba ito? I guess Niva invited her, huh?

Lumapit sa gawi namin si Hirra at Ernus. Isa-isa kong binuhat ang aming mga anak at hinalikan ang mga ito sa pisngi. "How about my babies? Aren't you feeling hungry?" Habang abala si Niva sa pakikipag-usap sa mga kaibigan namin ay nagtungo kami ng mga bata sa table.

I fed them using the same spoon. They look so lovely today as our ring bearers. Mabilis silang natapos kaya nang lumapit sina Ash, Razkien, Khing, at Valderom sa gawi ko ay naglalaro na lang ang mga bata sa bulaklak na hawak.

"Congrats, dude! Hanep ang kasal, ah? Ang daming bisita!" si Ash at tinapik ako sa balikat.

I smirked at them. "Thanks, man. And there they goes..." Bumuntong-hininga ako nang makitang may tatlong lalaking naka-tuxedo ang papalapit na sa akin.

The three known engineers made here in my wedding day so I guess, they'll just going to greet me, not to talk about business.

"Atras muna kami, pare," sabay halakhak ni Valderom at tinabihan na lamang si Ernus. I kissed my children's foreheads before smiling formally at the engineers.

"Congratulations, Doctor Brick. Your wife is so lovely! Have a wonderful marriage life," anito kaya bahagyang nawala ang aking ngiti.

Lovely?

Well, my baby's really lovely but fuck... I'm kinda pissed now. Does he like my wife? This freaking old man!

"She hates being complemented but yes, Engineer Livato, I'll tell that to her." Nagpilit ako ng ngiti.

Sandali pa kaming tumalakay sa iba't-ibang bagay hanggang sa nagpaalam na sila. May malambot na palad ang tumakip sa aking mga mata mula sa likuran. I groaned as I smirked.

"Niva, what now?" I removed her slim and long fingers from my eyes and faced her. Her angelic hazel-brown eyes welcomed mine. Her wavy brown hair suits her very well. She's so beautiful... I'm so smitten, seriously. Ang makakapal at mahahaba niyang pilik-mata ay nagbibigay hulma sa mga mata niya. Her thin and narrow nose, small flawless face, thin upper lip and thick lower lip are my favorite. And most of all... her number one insecurity, her gorgeous freckles.

I caressed her cheek and held her waist. I pulled her closer to my body. "You're like a butterfly..." I said as I got back all of my senses. Sa gitna ng reception na kasulukuyang nagaganap sa hotel ni Rostell Alt, may nagsasayawan na dahil sa romantikong kanta.

"Huh?" She tilted her head innocently. "Butterfly? Bakit? Kasi makati?"

I chuckled. "Don't be silly, love. You're like a butterfly. Based on the studies, butterflies never notice their beautiful wings. Like you... You never know how beautiful you are," I said tenderly.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed. "Talaga ba? Sorry, huh? Alam mong bobo ako kasi-"

I pressed a soft kiss on her lips. She shut her mouth. "Shh... Let me be your mirror, I'll reflect your beauty to let you realize about it."

Namula ang kaniyang pisngi. Oh, gorgeous. I will never forget about the first time I saw her...

"Brick! Pakisabi sa magle-lead ng prayer na may problema sa generator! Ayaw gumana at may black out!" sigaw ni Manong Arturo, isa sa mga pinagkakatiwalaang electrician dito sa paaralan namin.
