I can't seem to find any sleep so I spent almost half an hour out here on the balcony, just savouring the fresh, night air blowing from the sea.
My wife is already in a deep slumber, and I admit, I envy her who can fall asleep quickly just as soon as she hits the bed. I guess the baby is tiring her, as well, that's why she sleeps so much.
To be honest, I never really expected these types of days to come upon us, as husband and wife.
We share one last name, we live under the same roof, share the same bed, but there was always a clear division that sets the boundaries between the two of us. It was always her and I, and never 'us'-- well, at least before.
Never have I thought that there would be a day that she would look me in the eye with such care and adoration.
These past few days were one of the most unexpected twists that have ever happened in my life lately. From arguing everyday, to receiving a sweet kiss from her everytime she's being affectionate-- none of those are part of the marriage contract but are somehow happening one way or another.
Ugh! Even just thinking about her makes me miss her presence. How in the world did I not notice all of this happening before my very eyes?
I felt lonely on the balcony so I decided to go back in the room and call it a night.
Upon entering the room, I found her laying on her side, with the comforter covering half of her body.
She's truly beautiful, even when she sleeps.
I carefully got on my side of the bed, and in the hopes of not waking her up-- I slipped my hand under the covers and I wrapped it around her stomach, while my face is buried on the crook of her neck.
She shuffled a bit, startling me because I might've woke her up. Damn it!
"Sa'n ka galing?" she mumbled with eyes closed.
"Just outside. Go back to sleep," I whispered before planting a little kiss on her cheek.
She eventually went back to sleep, with her hand over mine which was resting on her belly, where our child is right now, probably sleeping like Carisia.
This child made me look forward to the rest of my life, and it wouldn't be possible without Carisia trusting herself to me.
As I tried drifting off to sleep, my phone buzzed on the nightstand.
I thought of checking it tomorrow morning, but the next two buzzes changed my mind, thinking that it might be an urgent matter.
Gently, I broke free from Cari so I can reach my phone.
There were three message notifications coming from just one contact.
