Trapped In His Melanchony

Side Story 3

"Levi, are you really okay?"

"I am more than okay. Don't worry about me." he smiled.

It's not fake news that guys can really feel exhausted when their women goes to a shopping spree. Aside from its boring, nakakangalay ng binti. Yet it's not that he cannot complain, there is just a memory in his mind na napakalaki ng kasalanan niya kay Addi. It was when they stumbled upon a supermarket na kasama niya si Cali habang namimili sila non ng baby supplies. Gusto niyang mas lamangan ang kung ano mang naibigay niya kay Cali noong atensyon na ngayo'y anak na nila ang pinagbubuntis nito.

"You can sit tho." she whispered to him while holding his hand. She's really excited, he can see it in her eyes.

"Wife, do you think I'wll allow three people to stand and wander around and I'll sit comfortably? No. I will help you choose for our babies."

Addison grinned like a kid.

"Thank you, hubby." she tilted her toes to kiss his cheek. "I love you."

"I love you more."

From cribs, strollers and anything their twins needs, Levi helped his dear wife to purchase it all. They even enjoyed buying baby clothes for them. He wanna be a very supportive husband to her dahil hindi niya magagawang maging malungkot ito. He wanna be present althrough out her pregnancy journey until all their kids grow. Pinapangako niyang babawi siya sa mga ito.

"Mmm ang saraaaap!"

He chuckled watching her eating a large size of halo halo herself. Addi's five months pregnant at malaki na ang tiyan nito. He couldn't visualize her if her stomach grew bigger. Sana ay hindi ito mahirapan sa mga susunod na buwan. Magrereklamo na rin itong sumasakit na daw ang likod at balakang niya sa bigat ng tiyan niya pati na rib ang palaging pabalik balik sa banyo upang umihi. Mabuti na lang at lumalaking malakas ang kambal nila, sa ganu'y hindi mas-stress ang asawa niya kaiisip kung naging effective ba lahat ng pakikinig niya sa doctor at sundin ang mga payo nito.

"In pregnancy, second trimester is the best. You know why? Walang morning sickness, mas maraming cravings at kaso hindi ganito kalaki ang tiyan ko kay Elvi dati" she pouts.

"And you are blooming and beautiful."

"Oo noh? Mukha akong chakadoll di ba? Haha"

Gusto pa sana niyang dagdagan na mas mainitin ulo niya noon pero hindi na lang. Totoo naman kasing gumanda siya lalo ng hindi na.siya nahihilo at nasusuka. Baka dahil naiinom na niya ng maayos ang mga vitamins niya.

He reached to held her hand and kissed it.

"I am so proud of you, wife. I couldn't imagine the you are experiencing now if I were you in this situation. It must be very hard and tiring. Aside from that you have to look after Elvi too. You are really doing great as a mom."

"Ehihi. Thank you. Basta andyan ka hindi naman ako nahihirapan."

"Anything for you, wife. I'll do anything for you."

The next day, Addi decided to have a surprise visit sa opisina ng asawa niyang si Levi na kasama si Elvi. May dala siyang packed lunch upang hindi na ito umuwi pa.

Hindi na rin bago sa mga empleyado doon na asawa na siya ng presidente ng kompanya. Kahit na sobrang magulo ang nangyaring patungkol sa kanila noon ay nagpakabingi na lang si Levi at Addi sa mga usap usapan at pinagmamalaki ang masaya nilang pagsasama.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am Addi. May meeting pa po si sir sa meeting room."

"Ganun po ba. Salamat po sa pagpapa-alam, Kuya Armando." the guard nodded to her so instead heading to the office, she decided to go to the meeting room.
