Epilogue

Anastasia's POV

I was walking on my way to the office when a girl bumped on me. She was shocked at agad akong tinignan. Mas lalong lumaki ang mga mata niya ng makita ako.

"Anastasia Delancy Javez?!" she squealed while looking at me in disbelief.

Tumango ako at agad siyang napatakip ng bibig.

"OMG!? The famous lawyer in the country?! The second heiress of Javez lawfirm, airlines, malls and countries biggest hotel?!" hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya at nakipagshake hands saakin.

"I am your biggest fan po!" she introduced herself while smiling widely at me. 

I smiled back at nilagpasan niya. Not being snob but there is someone waiting for me in the office.

My heels are echoing the whole hallway as I paved my way towards the office. Sakto at pagbukas ko ng pinto a kid jumped and hugged me.

"Mommy!" she giggled. 

I quickly filled her face with my kisses and she giggled at me. "Paano naman ako?" I turned my head to see Xaven pouting.

Gosh, he is wearing a 3 piece grey suit and he's pouting like a kid. I immediately reached to him and kissed his cheek, mukhang nagulat siya sa ginawa ko kaya hinalikan niya ulit ako sa labi.

"Ew po! Go get a room!" I forgot na may bata pala dito kasama namin, we laughed when she was closing her eyes with her tiny hands.

"My babies, I just finished in the court so let's go on a date?" Xaven insisted and we nodded.

Ibinaba ko si Caileigh para maglakad siya while Xaven and I are holding her hands. She was jumping with joy and her flowy dress is swaying with her. Nagkatinginan kami ni Xaven at natawa sa kanyang ginagawa.

Xaven and I graduated summa cum laude on Legal Management course. 

I can't say na naging madali saamin ang pagkuha ng pangarap namin. May mga panahon na napapagod, umiiyak, nahihirapan at tinatanong kung bakit ito ang naging desisyon namin, pero  ang mahalaga ay hindi kami sumuko. Despite the heavy circumstances in life, we stay and stood up for each other. 

There we're even times that we are burned but it doesn't mean its the end. You need to get up and fight again, for your dreams. Walang madaling paraan para makuha ang mga gusto natin, there are always obstacles to reach it. You may get tired, but don't give up. Take a rest then laban ulit.

Throughout the journey I realized that failures and mistakes are ment to happen. The important thing is you learned from them. Life is not perfect, no matter how high your status is, may pagsubok na dadating padin. You just need to fight and learned the lesson it gives. 

When struggling there are moments you want to give up, in those moments you feel alone thinking why are you hurting so much. But just because it hurts doesn't mean you will give up, you've gotta keep going and push through it.

With Xaven on my side, life wasn't hard enough because he made me feel I am enough. Our relationship didn't go perfect, there we're times na nagtatalo kami, but Xaven fix our problems before we go to bed.

Minsan nga nakikita ko siyang umiiyak sa tabi ko kasi hindi kami magka-ayos. He would literally cry in front of me kapag nakikita niya akong nagagalit sa kanya. He said, he's scared. Na baka mapagod ako sa kanya at hiwalayan siya. But I always assured him, na kahit magpatayan kami hindi ko siya hihiwalayan.

Napabaling ako sa kanya ng bigla niya akong hinalikan sa pisnge.

"Ang lalim ng iniisip mo, may problema ba, mahal ko?" he gently asked.

"Wala naman. I am just thinking sa mga pagsubok na kinaya at nalagpasan natin just reach our dreams. Thank you, for staying with me until the very end," sabi ko at hinarap siya.

"You're very welcome, mon amour," aniya at hinalikan ang likod ng palad ko. I smiled at him and he smirked at me.

"Mommy! Daddy! Lola Clarisse said kakain na po!" she cutely run towards us at mabilis siyang kinarga ni Xaven at inikot sa ere.

She was laughing and I was enjoying the view. Seeing her and her father makes me cry with the idea that they are mine. It was like a dream come true. A happy family with Xaven.

He saw me staring at them kaya agad niya akong hinawakan sa beywang at dinala sa dinning table. Mom immediately smiled at us nang makita kami, bumaling saamin si Dad at humalik sa pisnge ko.

"My bebe girl is malaki na," naiiyak na sabi ni Dad. Agad naman siyang binatukan ni Mom.

"Wag ka nga magdrama diyan Alejandro!" Mom scolded at him and he just pouted. Gosh these two.

Sakto at dumating din si Ate galing companya. Her belly is getting bigger, she is pregnant with her second child. Her husband is behind her, gently guiding her inside while their son is beside ate.

Ate instantly hugged me and she smiled at Xaven. Her husband and Xaven did a fist bump. Caileigh run towards Ate and hugged her, agad niyang hinila ang anak nito para maglaro. 

We spend dinner with talks and enjoyed mommy's delicious cooking. Xaven keeps on caressing my thigh under the table, I didn't protest since sanay na ako sa kanyang galawan.

"So kailan niyo susundan si Caileigh?" Agad akong nabilaukan sa sinabi ni Dad at binigyan ako ng tubig ni Xaven while caressing my back. Napaubo ako.

"Dad naman!" 

"What?! Look at my apo, she is bored and wala siyang kalaro aside from your ate's son," innocenteng sabi niya sabay tingin sa kumakain na si Caileigh.

Tumikhim si Xaven at napalingon kami sa kanya.

"I am still waiting for Anastasia's permission po. Siya po kasi nagdadala sa baby for 9 months and i've seen her struggles carrying Caileigh. I am waiting if she is ready for another baby po." aniya at agad namula ang mukha ko.

"Can't relate ang isa dyan," pagpaparinig ni ate sa asawa niya na kunwareng walang narinig.

We laughed.

After the wonderful dinner at home umuwi na kami sa sarili naming bahay. Sakto at paglabas ko ng banyo pumasok sa kwarto si Xaven. I am just wearing a robe.

"Caileigh is asleep already," aniya at tumago ako.

I saw him gulp while loosing his necktie. I walked towards him while smirking.

He flinched when I touch his chest.

"I've been thinking... what if we gave Caileigh another baby?" I seductively asked him while looking at his handsome face.

"Is it okay with you? Are you ready to carry another baby?" he gently asked while touching my cheeks.

Tumango ako and I saw how his amber eyes darkened. He grinned at me at kinarga ako ng pabridal style papuntang kama.

"Hold on tight baby, this will be rough," his deep baritone voice whispered to me as he took off his clothes.

"Oh please, take me," I smirked at him seductively and kissed me passionately.

The whole room was filled with moans, groans and screams as we pleasured ourselves that night. Making love with each other.

To kiss in cars and downtown bars

Was all we needed

You drew stars around my scars

But now I'm bleedin'.
