"May event ako today, so I'll be calling you later, okay?" Sabi ni Mia habang nakangiti ito sa screen ng cellphone ko.

Mabuti na lamang at nauso ang video call, kaya kahit malayo s'ya ay pwede ko pa din s'yang makita.

"How are the kids?" tanong nito at tumingin s'ya sa may kanan n'ya habang may hawak na hairbrush, I'm guessing it's the mirror, "Okay ba sila sa school?" She asked while taking a glimpse on me.

"Yes, they're okay. Nagmana yata sila sa'yo, achiever sila sa class eh." Sabi ko at lumingon ng muli s'ya sa akin ng ibinaba nito ang hairbrush na gamit gamit n'ya sa pag-aayos.

"Paano mo naman nasabi na sa akin sila nagmana?" Tanong nito, her brows raising.

"I'm not that good in class before."

She let out a small laugh before shaking her head, "Really now, Mr. Park?" Hindi naniniwala n'yang sabi.

"That's true, soon-to-be Mrs. Park."

She stop herself from smiling, alam kong pinipigilan nitong kiligin sa sinabi ko. Kahit ako din naman, kalalaki ko na tao, kinikilig din ako sa tuwing babanggitin ko na magiging asawa ko na s'ya.

She then looked at her wristwatch before looking back at me, she gave me an apologetic look before she spoke, "I have to go hubby, I'll call you soon, okay?" She said and gave me a sweet smile.

"I understand." I told her and nodded, "By the way..." She blinked at me waiting for me to continue, "You look lovely today." She then smiled and shook her head.

"It's because I have to go to a ribbon cutting." She then laughed and put her hand on her lips, "I love you." She then gave me a flying kiss and even winked at me.

"I love you more." I told her catching the kiss she sent.

We then ended the call and I looked at the calendar on my room, "Just a few more months." I whispered to myself and stood up from the chair and prepared myself in fetching the kids from school.

- ∞ - ∞ - 2 months after- ∞ - ∞ -

The decision I made was the hardest one, this might be the hardest one compared to the decision I made to take the risk of loving again.

I thought so much about the decision I was going to make, if it was the right one or would I end up having any regrets after it. But after so much time, I decided to go with it.

Pumasok ako sa office at nakita ko ang ate ni Mia na naka-upo sa harap ng computer at mukhang may inaasikaso. Tumingin s'ya sa akin at ngumiti, itinigil n'ya ang ginagawa n'ya at hinarap ako ng maayos.

"Xander, sit down." Alok nito at umupo naman ako sa upuan sa harapan ng table n'ya, "What can I do for you?" She asked.

"Well..." I looked down to my hands before sighing and looking back at her.

She looked at me with expectant eyes, I averted my eyes and took a deep breath. Hindi kasi ako mapakali kung paano ko ba sasabihin sa kanya.

"Are you having second thoughts on marrying my sister?" She suddenly asked making me look at her.

"No!" Agad kong sagot dahilan para matawa ito.

"Then relax." Sabi nito at sumandal sa upuan n'ya, "Ganyan na ganyan si Aiden sa tuwing umiiyak si Celina"
