Darren POV

Nine months.

I am so over excited. One of these days my baby would come out any moment now and the world will welcome him. Him. Our eldest is a boy. Kaya pinagbabawalan ko na siyang lumabas ng bahay. Natatakot ako na baka abutin siya ng labor sa kahit saang lugar.

"Sweetheart, magkikita kami nina Jelina at Desiree ngayon." Nakangiti nitong sabi.

By the way, after the night she fought me and almost killed my ass few days later I found out that they started making friends with Jelina. My childhood friend explains to her everything. At naliwanagan na rin ang asawa ko sa wakas. Jelina and Randolf are together now. Subrang bilis ng pangyayari. I just found out few months ago that Michelle is already married with someone else and she filed a resignation letter dahil nagkabalikan sila ng asawa niya. Akala ko nga, heartbroken si Randolf pero hindi pala. They became instant MU with Jelina and now they are getting married. Kaya naiintindihan ko kung bakit nagresign ang aking trusted assistant sa kumpanya. It's because siya na ang mamamahala sa Salas Company ng magiging asawa. Good thing was sina tito Ken at Tita Shia ay botong boto kay Randolf. Hindi naman mahalaga sa kanila ang background ng tao, kesyo mahirap ka o mayaman. What matters to them is mabuting tao ang mapapangasawa ng anak nila. Everything seems fine now. Kung hindi lang sinusumpong ang asawa ko, wala ng magiging problema. Sumpungin parin kasi si Misis. But it's okay with me. I understand her a lot. Mahirap din magbuntis at ako ang nahihirapan tuwing nakikita ko siyang naglalakad na dala-dalang  singlaki ng watermelon sa tyan.

They are my blessings. I love them very much. They are my greatest inspiration in life.

I smile and tucked her soft hair to her sides, "Of course BUT, dapat lage mong kasama si Mang Zaldy and call me immediately kapag may naramdaman kang masakit o kakaiba. Basta huwag kang aalis na walang kasama."  Paalala ko. Actually next week pa naman ang due niya pero according to her OB, the baby could be advance or earlier than expected. Kaya ayokong maabutan siya sa kahit saang lugar. Binabawalan ko siyang umaalis ng bahay.

"Thank you sweetheart. Sandali lang naman kami. I had the feeling that Jelina is pregnant. Kasi madalas siyang nagyaya sa amin ni Desiree ng ice cream and cookies." She grinned happily. I smiled back and the feelings inside me swelled in happiness.

"Wow. Ang bilis ni Randolf ah." I commented back. Sabagay mahigit apat na buwan na sila ni Randolf. Ano pa bang gagagwin? Alangan naman magtitigan pa lang sila sa loob ng apat na buwan? Haha.

"Anong mabilis? Eh ikaw nga isang gabi lang nakabuo agad." She pouted at kinurot ako sa pisngi.

I burst out laughing. Yeah I am faster than ever. That idea made my heart beats with laughter. I had fallen love the first time I laid my eyes on her. It feels like my heart is pumping so loud rapidly, my brain has switched on and all my senses are acutely alive the first time I touched her. And it all starts there. Buti na lang, my semens are healthy at nabuo agad kahit isang putok lang. Kundi, baka walang kami ngayon.

"Sweetie, anong oras ka uuwi ngayon?" Tanong nito nang matapos ang halakhakan naming dalawa.

"I have meeting today. Dad will be coming home next week at siya muna ang titingin sa kumpanya while nasa leave ako." I said. Liliban muna ako sa office just for one month para sa mag-ina ko. I need to be a hands on father and husband.
