Beautiful Mistake

River's PoV

"Xie... hey" sambit ko kay Trixie when I went home and see her laying on the couch in the living room sleeping

"Hmm..."

"Xie why are you sleeping here? Dun ka sa kwarto..."

"River?"

"It's me... hey" sambit ko when she opened her eyes

"You're here" sambit niya wiping her eyes

"Yes... had to finish some documents in the office"

"Okay..." sambit niya smiling

"Sleep upstairs okay?" Sambit ko but she opened her arms making me confused

"Xie?"

"Pick me up..." pikit na sambit niya

"H-huh?"

"Bring me up... please?"

"Okay... sure" sambit ko na lang lifting her up and she clung on to my neck. Pagdala ka sa kanya sa kwarto kinumutan ko na siya bago pumunta sa walk in closet at nagbihis. I was about to go to my home office when she spoke up

"Where are you going?"

"To the office?"

"Again?"

"No I mean my office here... at home"

"Still working?"

"I just had to finalize some remaining documents Xie"

"Then I'm coming with you" pikit na sambit niya sitting up the bed

"Xie you need sleep..."

"You need that too..."

"I'll sleep later..."

"I won't sleep without you" sambit niya pouting at me making me frozen in place

"I... uhm..."

"I'm going with you" sambit niya about to stand up pero pinigilan ko na siya

"Alright... I'm... I'm not going to work anymore"

"Really?"

"W-well you don't want to sleep if I do..."

"Did you expect me to just sleep?"

"Y-yes?"

"Well... that's disappointing. I guess I need to work harder"

"W-what?"

"I need to work harder for you to be comfortable with me again... I want to do things as your wife... you know including waiting for you to come home and go to sleep together"

"I see that Xie. I swear. I just really had to work some papers for the company. That's all"

"Then I'll be awake with you" sambit niya standing up but I pulled her back to sit down

"Work can wait... you need sleep. L-let's sleep"

"Really?" Nakangiting sambit niya

"Come on now lay down and sleep"

"You first"

"Why?"

"Bilis naaaa" sambit niya na sinunod ko na lang but I was shocked when she laid her head on my arms and hugged me while smiling

"X-xie..."

"I love you..."

"I love you... so much Xie. So much" sambit ko cupping her face to check the reality of this all

"I'm pretty sure I'm real, daddy haha"

"D-damn"

"What?"

"I-I can't explain what I fee with that... that call sign"

"You like it?"

"I... I love it. I love it so much Xie"

Trixie's PoV

I woke up without River beside me kaya tatayo na sana ako to check where he is when I saw a rose on the bedside table with a note

Good morning Xie <3

Napangiti na lang ako bago ako lumabas ng kwarto dala dala yung rosas para hanapin yung mag-ama ko. I walked around and saw them playing outside with each other

"Waaahh!!!" Sigaw ni Zac as he runs away from his father. Tiningnan ko naman ang mukha ni River and his eyes are now smiling unlike the last time that I asked for the divorce. He smiled back then but his eyes were so lonely. I feel so terrible remembering his face back then.

"Mamaaa!! Mommy help mee!!" Sigaw ng anak ko running behind me at ginawa akong pader nung mag-ama ko

"Alright now what's happening? Hahaha"

"Daddy's trying to catch me mama! Waahh"

"Come here you little guy! Haha"

"Waahh!!" Patakbong sambit ng anak ko who unconsciously have pushed my knees forward na medyo napaabante at napasandal ako kay River

"You okay?"

"Y-yeah uhm sorry" sambit ko fixing myself. Goodnes Zac, you clumsy kid!
