- ARIANNE's POV -
I sat on my vanity chair and stared at my reflection on the mirror. I smiled while seeing my bare face, with no make-up on yet. I get the pair of earrings that Ethan gifted me last time. Just because. Kinuha ko iyon dahil balak ko 'yong gamitin nang bigla rin akong mapatingin sa picture frame na nasa gilid ng table. It's our family picture. Kinuha ko iyon tsaka tinitigan.
It's a picture of Ethan and I, together with our kids, Arianna and Erron. It's our own family picture. Yung pamilya naming binuo.
Just like what other married couples, Ethan and I built our own family after marrying each other. Kinasal kami and all of our friends and loved ones were there for our special day.
Sa totoo lang, wala akong gaanong ipinangamba noon. After we got married and after knowing that I'm pregnant. Aside from having Ethan, we have our families that has been always so happy and supportive to us. Especially Lola Francia. She was one of the happiest when she knew that I'm finally pregnant. I got nothing to worry about because I know I have them in my journey, in our journey.
I would never trade what I have right now for anything.
"Tapos ka na, Ari?"
Napalingon ako sa pintuan ng kwarto nang bumukas iyon. Ethan came inside.
"Magbibihis nalang. Ikaw, maligo ka na. I already prepared your clothes." I said. Ibinalik ko na rin sa dating pwesto yung picture frame na hawak ko.
Kakalabas ko lang ng banyo, kakatapos ko lang maligo. I just wore a bathrobe at maya-maya ay magbibihis na rin ako.
"Teka, where's Yanna and Erron?" I asked him when I noticed he's not with them when he came here.
"Nasa ibaba. Dumating si Neisha, pinabantay ko na muna saglit." he said so I nodded.
Kinuha ni Ethan ang towel niya tsaka siya pumasok sa banyo para maligo. Ako naman ay nagbihis na rin, dahil maya-maya ay yung dalawa naman ang bibihisan ko.
After dressing up while Ethan is still showering ay bumaba na rin ako. Mamaya na ako mag-aayos ng buhok.
"Ano daw name niya?" I heard Neisha's voice while I'm walking downstairs.
"I don't know po. Nakalimutan ko i-ask." it was Yanna.
"Sayang naman. Erron, ikaw, natanong mo yung name niya?"
"No din po," Erron said.
"Sinong pinag-uusapan niyo?" I asked nang tuluyan akong makababa at lumapit sa kanila.
Neisha smiled and greeted me. "Hi, ate! Ito kasing si Yanna, may kinwento. May nakipaglaro daw sa kanilang bata kani-kanina lang." sabi niya.
"Oh, where?" I asked Yanna with my brows a bit furrowed.
"Outside, Mommy," she said.
"Outside?" I uttered confused. "Didn't I tell you na don't go outside kapag hindi ako kasama o si Daddy niyo? What if may bad guys sa labas?"
Nag-aalala lang ako. Iyon din ang palagi naming sinasabi ni Ethan sa mga bata. Mahirap na sa panahon ngayon 'no.
"Sorry, Mommy. Naka-open po kasi yung gate kanina and I saw the kid outside. He called and asked us to play." Yanna explained while pouting a little bit.
