Wanted Not Perfect Daddy

Chapter 71

Matapos ang kasiyahan ay napagpasyahan nina Cassandra at Alejandro na magbakasyon sa kanilang resort, actually, iyon ang unang beses na magbubukas ito sa lahat ng nandoon.

"Are you ready, baby? hmm?"

"As always." Ngiti ni Cassandra saka hinawakan ang kamay ni Alejandro. Doon ay mas magiging maganda ang samahan nilang dalawa, sakto rin kasi dahil mayroong mga bagong lokasyon doon na kailangan pang madevelop at pwedeng pagandahin, ang sabi nga ng ilan ay para itong little samal.

The island is very welcoming and very refreshing. Maraming pwedeng pagkaabalahan doon, idagdag pa ang ginawa nina Alejandro na nagdagdag sila ng mga tao para maging maganda ang kalabasan ng plano nilang mag-asawa.

Sakay na sila ng malaking ferry habang tanaw ang isla, isa sa gagawin nila Alejandro soon, ay ang magkaroon ng permanenteng highway or daanan ng mga sasakyan, para hindi na maging mahirap ang pagtransport doon.

"I am so excited." Sabi pa ni Cassandra sa asawa.

"I can feel it." He smiled back.

"Hindi ba't malapit na ang fiesta doon?" tanong pa ni Cassandra.

Tumango naman si Alejandro. "Yes, If i am not mistaken, sa susunod na linggo na ang fiesta dito," masayang wika ni Alejandro.

"Well, kailangan nating paghandaan 'yon." Sabi pa ni Cassandra.

"Of course, anything you wish, babe."

Ngumiti si Alejandro sa asawa.

Hindi pa nagtagal ay nakarating sa sila sa kanilang ancestral mansion, nabili nila ito sa unang may-ari ng lugar. It's very antique yet elegant.

Nestled amidst the whispering embrace of towering, century-old trees and enveloped in an air of timeless grace, this elegant antique house stands as a testament to the refined craftsmanship of a bygone era. A symphony of architectural mastery, the residence exudes an aura of sophistication, inviting you to step into a world where history and beauty intertwine.

As they approach, a stately facade adorned with intricately carved detailing commands attention, hinting at the grandeur within. The entrance, framed by a weathered yet dignified wooden door, opens to reveal a foyer bathed in the warm glow of antique chandeliers. Polished hardwood floors, worn smooth by the footsteps of generations, guide you through the residence, each creak telling a story of its own.

The living spaces are a harmonious blend of classic design and modern comfort. High ceilings adorned with ornate moldings create an atmosphere of openness, while tall windows draped in rich, heavy curtains allow natural light to dance gracefully across the carefully curated furnishings. Plush, upholstered chairs and sofas beckon you to sink into their embrace, a perfect vantage point from which to admire the period-specific tapestries that grace the walls.

Moving through the house, you discover rooms adorned with antique furniture, each piece seemingly whispering tales of a bygone era. A grand dining room, resplendent with a long, mahogany table and regal high-backed chairs, offers an inviting space for elegant gatherings and celebrations. A library, lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves housing leather-bound tomes, invites contemplation in the embrace of literary treasures.

The master suite is a sanctuary of opulence, featuring a four-poster bed draped in sumptuous fabrics and a fireplace that imparts a cozy ambiance. The ensuite bathroom boasts clawfoot bathtubs and gleaming fixtures, reminiscent of a time when indulgence was an art form.

The outdoor spaces are equally enchanting, with a meticulously manicured garden showcasing an array of heirloom roses and labyrinthine pathways that lead to hidden alcoves. A vintage wrought-iron gazebo stands as a sentinel, offering a retreat for moments of quiet reflection or intimate conversations.

This elegant antique house is not merely a residence; it is a living testament to the artistry and sophistication of a bygone era, a place where the past and present coalesce in a timeless dance of beauty and history.

Malugod na hinawakan ni Alejandro ang kamay ni Cassandra saka nagsimulang ipatugtog ang musika mula sa antigong musika de plaka na nasa salas nila.

The melody starts as they hold each other's hands. Nagsimulang ilagay ni Cassandra ang kaniyang kamay sa magkabilang balikat ni Alejandro.

In the soft glow of dimmed lights, they find themselves swept away in a tender embrace on the dance floor. The dulcet tones of a slow, melodic tune envelop them, creating an intimate space where time seems to slow down. As they move gracefully together, the world outside fades away, leaving only the gentle notes of the music and the shared rhythm of their hearts.

Cassandra, dressed in a flowing bestida that swirls with each graceful step, rests her head against her partner's shoulder. His hand securely cradles the small of her back, guiding her with a gentle sway. Her eyes, closed in bliss, reflect the serene joy of the moment as they navigate the dance floor as if in a dream.

Alejandro, dressed in his not-so-accurate jeans and shirt, the opposite to a tailored suit, leads with subtle confidence, navigating the dance floor as though it were an extension of their shared connection.

Their movements are unhurried, and deliberate, as if the dance is a language only they understand. The air is filled with a sense of tenderness, as whispers and shared smiles convey a depth of emotion beyond words.

The dance unfolds with a quiet elegance, the couple lost in the artistry of movement and the shared experience of being wrapped in the melody. Occasionally, they exchange fleeting glances, their eyes communicating a silent language of love and connection. The soft swish of their clothes mingles with the gentle strains of the music, creating a harmonious symphony that encapsulates the magic of the moment.

"You look so lovely day by day, Cassandra..."

She smiled as her eyes sparkled with joy.

As the music carries them through the dance, the world outside the dance floor seems to disappear, leaving only the couple and the timeless rhythm they've found together. In this dance, they find solace, joy, and a profound connection—a shared journey set to the enchanting cadence of a slow, sweet melody.

"I have many reasons to be beautiful day by day, honey." Mas lumawak ang ngiti ni Cassandra sa oras na iyon, pinagsalikop din nila ang kanilang mga kamay na may suot na singsing. Ang simbolo ng kanilang pagmamahalan.

"May surpresa ako sa'yo..." sabi pa ni Alejandro sa oras na iyon, dahan dahang tinakpan nito ang mata ng asawa.

"What is it?"

"Shhh, secret...come on." Pilyong sabi pa ni Alejandro saka tinungo ang lugar na iyon.
