Let's play a Love game (Completed)

Bahay-Bahayan /

5 years after.

"Mommy! Daddy is playing on me. He kept saying that you don't love me anymore." Therese said as she sat down beside me.

"Do you believe your evil daddy?"

"I heard you!" Said my hubby.

"I know. Haha. So baby, do you believe with what daddy said?" I asked her again.

"No, because mommy loves me! Right mommy?" Then she faced her father and made a silly face. She's so adorable.

"You think?" I teasingly said and I saw her frown.

"Brighten up baby, I was just teasing, of course mommy loves you." I hugged her and kiseed her cheek.

"Actually, daddy's the one who doesn't love you." She frowned again and I saw my hubby went to our side and hugged us too.

"Don't believe the eveil witch baby. She's evil." And on cue, we started running and tagged each other to be the it. Just like before.

Everything really got crazy with the last five years. Crazy things happened. Crazy decisions were made and now, we have a crazy family. Playing tag, you're it.

We graduated in our college degree. And applied for job. Things, got fucked up between Terrence and me that time then he became sick.

I was too late. I figured it all out when he's already on the Stage 3 of his cancer. I was wounded. Not physically but emotionally. I lost hope. I was lost. He lost the game of life. He died.

I remembered everything we both shared in our relationship. How he picked me up everytime I'm down. How he fought for us when my parents won't comprise. And how he loved me unconditionally knowing Jackson was really the one I love.

He's too perfect. He's all so perfect for me.

And I'll never regret loving him. And I never stopped loving him.

Moving on had always been hard. It takes time. But Jackson showed up and love bloomed again.

He was standing right there on the corner of the bookshelf in a bookstore and he tripped on something causing him to face the floor. It was too epic! He was pathetic and It made me laughed so hard that he noticed. He walked to me and it started everything.

He courted me. Then I finally said yes. And now, we have a beautiful daughter. Crazy right?

I named her Therese. For terrence. Since he was a part of our love story too. If it wasn't for him, this crazy family that I have won't be existing.

"I love you both." I said to my hubby and baby.

Ups and downs. Rights and wrongs. Yes and nos. Truths and lies.

Love is a carousel of feelings as they say. Well, it is. But as long as you know how to play the game that love gives you, give it a try. Quitting won't do you any good. Play the love game and don't play without love.
