After taking a shower with my wife, we decided to go downstairs. Mapilit kasi si Sophie na ipasyal ko siya sa iba't-ibang bahagi ng aming lupain. If I know, she just wanted to ride her new horse that I had bought weeks ago as one of my gifts for her.
"You're spoiling me too much, Babe," nakangiti niyang sambit habang pababa kami ng hagdanan. My hand wrapped around her waist, keeping her closer to me always. I just couldn't get enough of her. She smelled fresh and sexy.
"Because you deserve it," ganti ko.
Bigla kong naalala yung pinakapaborito kong kuwarto sa loob ng bahay maliban sa bedroom namin ni Sophie.
"C'mon, may ipapakita ako sayo. I know you gonna love it," I whispered on her ear when we were already on the lower floor.
"Talaga?" she exclaimed excitedly, shifting her head to me. Napangiti na lang ako habang minamasdan yung kumikinang niyang mga mata.
"It's a proof, actually," tugon ko.
Kumunot yung noo niya. "A proof? Of what?"
Hinawakan ko yung kamay niya, pulling her to the right side of the house to where I put my works as a sign of my love for her. Nagpatianod naman si Sophie habang tinungo namin yung pinto ng silid kung saan nakalagay yung surpresa ko sa kanya.
"Here we go, Baby," ani ko nang nasa harapan na kami ng pinto.
"A room? Anong gagawin natin dito? Teka... Babe ha, mukhang wala ka talagang..."
But I quickly pressed my lips to her to cut her off. I knew what she was going to say. Of course, kung ako lang ang papipiliin, I would rather spend my day with her alone inside our room than roaming around. But it was her happiness to see those beautiful flowers in the garden, to watch the sunrise and sunset, to feel the freshness of the air and smell the irresistible scent of nature.
"It's not what you think, Babe," I uttered softly as I let go of her.
Binuksan ko yung pinto and let her in first. But I closed the door right after I stepped in, so, I could have a perfect moment with her.
Puno ng pagtataka yung mga mata ni Sophie pero hindi ko sinabi sa kanya kung anong meron sa loob. Hinayaan ko na siya mismo ang makakita nito.
Madilim yung kuwarto dahil sa mga mahahaba at makapal na puting kurtina sa dalawang malaking bintana. Tinungo ko yung mga bintana at isa't-isang hinawi yung kurtina.
"What are we..." Tumigil siya bigla sa pagsasalita.
Nilingon ko siya at kitang-kita ko kung gaano siya kamangha sa mga painting na naka-hang sa wall. Her lips parted a bit. Her eyes were shining but full of emotions. Alam kong nagulat siya sa mga nakita niya sa dingding.
Nanatiling tahimik pa rin siya habang isa-isa niyang tiningnan yung paintings. She looked at me and her eyes were getting teary. Mabilis akong lumapit sa kanya at niyakap siya ng mahigpit.
"I love you," I murmured.
Wala akong narinig na sagot niya. Marahil, hindi pa rin siya makahuma sa mga nakita niya.
She pulled her body away from me and cupped my face. "Are you the one who painted all of these?" she asked softly.
I nodded with a perfect smile on my lips. "Do you like it?"
Her brows furrowed. "Like? They are all beautiful!" she exclaimed happily. "Of course, I love it... I love you so much... You're amazing, Berrones." She wrapped her arms around my nape, pulling me closer to her. She planted a quick but sweet kiss on my lips.
