Tangled Ropes

Chapter: 11

Ilang buwan ang lumipas at halata na ang baby bump ko.

Aire booked a vacation for the two of us sa Palawan, they have a private area reserved for his family only. I bet Avery was here before.

Pagkadating namin ay humiga ako kaagad. Aire took care of our bags then layed beside me.

Niyakap niya ako while my eyes became very heavy.

"Luxiana?"

"Hmm?" I asked.

He was quiet for a while before he spoke again.

"I love you."

I looked at him as he played with my hair. He smiled then gave me a little kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for everything, I know it's been hard to put up with me pero salamat dahil binigyan mo ako ng mga anak."

Oh..

Well, at least he loves the kids. Ayun lang ang mahalaga para sa akin ngayon.

I looked away from him and heard his heavy sigh.

I took a bunch of pictures then walked around to collect sea shells.

Sa kuwarto kami kumakain ng lunch, he had ordered a seafood platter with rice and two glasses of water.

"How is your movie going?" He asked.

"Ayos naman." I answered kaya tumango siya. "Aire, sapat na ba ang kambal para sa'yo?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean.. I was thinking of getting my tubes tied para hindi na ako mabuntis."

He looked at me in a different way.

"Why? Ayaw mo bang palakihin ang family natin?" He asked.

"Not really.. " I whispered as he ate his shrimp. "Inisip ko lang kasi na busy ka tapos magiging busy din ako sa kambal. I don't think we have time for more children."

"Well, katawan mo naman iyan and I won't meddle with your decisions." He said. "Pero if you change your mind about a third then you can tell me naman."

I doubt that I would have another child with you, Aire.

Aire spent time with me and told me about his childhood here sa Palawan.

"I just wish na makalabas kaagad ang mga babies natin para maranasan nila ang buhay with us." He said. "Hi, my loves."

He bent down to talk to my stomach.

"You two should be very nice to Mommy when she gives birth ah? Huwag sasaktan si Mommy."

"Have you thought of a name?" I asked.

"Not yet, do you have something in mind?" He asked.

"Well, I would like to keep my roots recognized so I want to go with Khan and Kassia."

He smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I like those names."

Tumayo siya when an employee called for him kaya naiwan ulit ako sa kuwarto.

I looked around and saw a piece of paper and saw a list that he made.

'10 Things that make my beautiful wife, Luxiana, happy +(5 things she hates)'

-Lilacs
-Apple slices
-Black dresses
-Seashells
-Old Music
-Kids
-Romcom Movies
-Nature
-Her parents
-Metal Clamps

-Avery's name
-When I go to the cemetery
-Me yelling at her
-When I stop her to go out
-Me :))

I placed the piece of paper down and went to find Aire.

He was talking to an employee kaya lumapit ako and waited for him to be done.

"Yes, she really wants to get rid of our children. Papayagan ko naman siya kung gusto niya pero masakit din naman." He said over the phone. "Yes, Ate. Well, hindi niya sinabi sa akin pero I found out naman. Okay lang naman kung ayaw talaga niya, I understand pero malaki na ang tiyan niya eh. Ayaw kong maging malungkot siya."

He finished the call so I walked away. He thinks I'll kill them, I changed my mind.
