A Love that Stays

Memories to Cherish

I love mornings with cuddle with Sandro and a beam of sunrise illuminating our room. Nandito kami sa kuwarto at nanatutulog pa siya. I had a chance to closely see his features and trace it with my fingertips. From his thick eyebrows, his pointed nose, prominent jaws and kissable lips. I can't believe this man is mine.

Ngumiti ako nang kumot ang kanyang noo. Hinaplos ko ito hanggang sa mawala yung pagkakunot.

I kissed his forehead, nose, cheeks then his lips.

"I love you, Bubby, so so much." I whispered. Siniksik ko ang sarili sa kanya. His embrace is so warm, this is my home where I want to stay forever.

Unti-unting bumukas yang kanyang mga mata at tumitig sakin.

"Did I wake you up, Bubby? Sorry, I can't resist, you're too beautiful." I said and I'm sure it comes out as mumble words and he just chuckled.

"Good morning too, Bubby." He shifted our position and put me on top of him. He kissed my forehead but I can feel his morning wood which is distracting me.

"It's early in the morning and you're already horny."

"Goodness, Bubby." He just laughed at me.

"hmmm."

Nanatili kami sa ganun pwesto. Sobrang peaceful lang ang lahat. No worries of the future, no thinking that death is just lurking around.

"Bubby, let's go the heart lock valley."

"Okay, if that's what my Bubby wants."

I could hear his heartbeats which calm me every possible way.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." I said in small voice. Ayaw kong maging emosyonal pero hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko. There are times that my weakness and emotions overcome me. Katulad nitong umaga na to, sobrang payapa pero alam ko na hindi ito pangmatagalan."I thought I was okay, na totally tanggap ko na ang kamatayan pero hindi, may pagkakataon na gusto kong luhuran ang lahat ng simbahan, magnakaawa sa Diyos na bigyan ako ng isang himala. A second chance in life with you is all I desire, Bubby."

I cried and he sat up. Nasa kandungan niya ako, nakaharap sa kanya habang ang dalawang binti ko au nakaikot sa bewang niya.

He wiped my tears and kissed my eyes.

"It's okay, Bubby. Cry more. Kapag nanghihina ka, ako ang magiging malakas para sa ating dalawa. Andito lang ako, hinding-hindi kita iiwan. Hanggang sa dulo, diba? In sickness and health, through a lifetime."

"C'mon, Bubby. Let's shower together."

Binuhat niya ako patungo sa banyo at pinaliguan niya ako. He was so gentle. He always handle me with love and care.

"I know na parang sirang plaka na ako, Bubby. But I am always grateful to you. Naiisip ko minsan, I don't deserve someone like you. You deserve someone better. Someone who can add value to your life and career."

"There's a lot woman who's better, more beautiful and more successful than you but always remember, I will always choose you. I will choose you over and over again. I wouldn't be Alessandro Markus Riego without Isabelle Ortega-Riego. I would sacrifice everything for you, Isabelle."

The wholesome bath becomes hot and slow lovemaking under the shower. He's always ready for her, so she is.

After ng mainit na pagtatalik sa banyo, nag-ayos ang dalawa para pumunta sa sikat na Heart Lock Valley dito sa Batanes. It's quite famous to lovers and tourists who visits the place. Pumunta sila para tuparin ang isa sa bucket list niya. Ang ganda ng kanilang love lock since this is a little vault where you can store a little item. I decided to put the love letter Sandro will give me. I want something permanent to leave on this earth. Maybe there will be someone who'll see their love lock. Na minsan may dalawang taong nagmahalan at pinagkaitan ng tadhana.
