"Tulog na, mahal ko.", I was singing my pang-hele song to my new born Daniel Adrian or Andy. Siya yung baby namin na pinaglihi ni Mika kkay DJP. Hahhahaha.
When Andy finally fell asleep, I went to the master's bedroom to take a rest too. Its been a long day for us. We held Andy''s christening earlier that day.
I saw Nanay lying on the bed sleeping. Siguro sobrang pagod niya kase hindi damp ang buhok nakatulog na agad siya. Wawa naman.
I hugged her on my arms. I always say this, I really dont know why I love my wife so much. The kids are my world but Mika is and will be my heart. I couldnt think other woman to spend my forever with except her.
"Tay?!", and she frantically went off the bed. I just watched her. "Ang mga bata? Tulog na?"
"Opo.", as I pulled her to sit on my lap. "Napatulog ko na sila."
"Tay, sorry. Nakatulog ako after taking a quick shower. Sobrang napagod lang ako sa christening ni Andy.", I wrapped my arms around her waist and she put her arms around ny neck.
"Ang bango naman ng baby ko.", I said while nuzzling her neck.
"I love you, Tay. Thanks for always making me happy and for giving me such precious kids.", she said while looking at me intently and full of love.
I pulled myself and her to lay down on the and wrapped her with my arms and threw her a leg over the hip. "Nay, promise walang iwanan ha? Kahit anong mangyari. Mahal na mahal na mahal kita. Always remeber that.", she nodded.
"Hindi ko kayang iwan ka at ang mga bata, Tay. ikamamatay ko. As long as you love me, I will stay.", and i hugged her tighter.
We stayed like that, cuddling, for a few minutes. "Nay, pa-kiss.", she smiled and kissed me on the lips. We parted for air, "Tulog na baby ko.", she smiled and closed her eyes.
Tulog na Mahal ko....
*-***********************************
"I love you, Tay! Goodmorning.", you greeted me as soon as you opened your eyes.
"I love you," and I kissed you on the lips to greet you good morning. I have been awake since 4am and watched how you were peacefully sleeping.
You looked like an angel when you were asleep. And you look like a goddess when your awake. Years have gone by, but the sight of you still trembles me to the spine.
"Tatay! Nanay!", I heard Yna calling outside our room.
"Mamaya na kaya ate, baka tulog pa sila Nanay.", it was Andy, yung pinaglihi mo kay DJ. hahaha
"Ate Yna, gisingin nalang natin.", si Ice yun, bunso natin. Aereen Ysobell.
"Nay? Tay?", our oldest Yna knocked again.
I stood up to open the door for them and as soon as I opened it, pumasok na ang nga anak natin. "Kahit kailan distorbo talaga kayo!"
And they just laughed. Seeing you with our children is a sight to behold. Maayos natin silang napalake. You are a great mother and a bestfriend to them.
"Nay, si Ate Yna may jowa na!", sabi ni Ice. "Ate I read it in your phone!"
And I saw our eldest daughter blushed. Naku dalaga na talaga ang anak ko. "Yaan mo na bunso, Ate has the right to have a boyfriend naman na. She's already 22." at nagpout si Ice.
"So Nanay, ako wala pa?"
"Ice!", it was Andy. "Maghunosdili ka bunso, your just 15."
"And you are just 18 Kuya kaya bawal ka pang mambuntis.", I butted in and you laughed.
"Tatay, hindi ako mambubuntis. Wala pa akong pera at dapat makasal muna kami."
"May girlfriend ka na, Dee?", you asked and our son proudly nodded.
"Kilala niyo nga eh." and he smiled. Kinikilig tong anak ko.
"Naku, Tay!", Yna said, "Napakasweet ng mga yan sa school nila. Nakita ko nung sinundo ko si Ice pagkagaling ko ng practice for Sea Games."
And you laughed aloud, "Mabuti na yan, kesa sa masayang ang gandang lalake nitong anak ko at di mapakinabangan!" and we all laughed. "DJ Padilla ko kase to eh." and you held Andy's face kissed him like a baby.
"Nanay!!", he protested and we all laughed.
"Nasan ang kuya niyo?", I asked. Asan nga ba si Zee?
"Tatay, he went to her girlfriend's place to pick her up."
"Sinong jowa ni Zee?", you asked.
"Your goddaughter Nay.", Yna answered smiling. "Tita Ara's eldest, Tammy."
"I heard me and girl's name. What about?", and our son entered the room unannounced. "Nay, tay! Happy 25th Anniversary! You The best!", and they hugged us all. "Kiss naman jan!", he kidded.
All the pain and suffering in the past, they were all worth it. Seeing you and with our kids happy, I couldnt just ask for more.
Youre worth fightting for. I love you, Mrs. Ravena.
