Kaela's POV
It's afternoon already when we woke up. Nagugutom na ako kaya nagluto na muna ako. I asked Jake to eat with me. After we eat, we sat on the living room, facing each other.
"Ask me questions Sweetheart." Jake said as he pulled me near him
"Who is Janine to your life?"
"Janine was my ex-girlfriend. We were dating for 3? 4 years I can't remember because when we're together, I had so many side girls. Yes, I asked her to marry me because I want to be married first than my younger brother. She dumped me because she knew I am not inlove with her. And yes, I am not and never been inlove with her." He answered while hugging me
"Have you had sex with Janine after we got married?"
"No! I haven't had sex with anybody else besides you after we got married. That was actually after our first marriage. I've been celibate for a more than a month because you won't do it with me."
"There are rumors that Janine and you are getting closer with each other, like lovers?
"Oh! Fuck that rumor and those who made it. No! I've got my greatest gem and it's you, why would I settle with anyone lesser than you?"
"I went to the site. I saw you, Janine was taking care of you. She was actually wiping your face and body with towel."
"What? when? Ah, maybe the time when someone accidentally poured a thinner on my back. And Janine volunteeed to wipe it. After she wipe it, I went to the clinic, take a bath and changed my clothes.
"Then why do you come home late? Why are we drifting apart?"
"Oh my sweetheart, I'm really really sorry. I love you so much. I do not want to see you lonely, I don't want to see you hiding the pain on your fake smiles. I am your husband, I know you too well. I know your pains and believe me, it doubles mine. And no, we are not drifting apart, I won't allow that. I am just letting you breath. I think I am suffocating you. As much as I wanted to give you more space, I am afraid you'll learn to live without me. I want you to breath but I don't want to leave you being this vulnerable. And I don't want you learn to live without me. I know how strong you are and if I leave you, you may be used to it. I am afraid Sweetheart. My fear of you getting away from me is rotting ny whole being." Sabi ni Jake as he wipes my tears.
Okay, naniniwala naman ako sa asawa ko. One thing about my husband is he won't lie. He would not talk if you want him to lie. I just realized how lucky I am he was my husband.
"Last question, Do you still love me?"
"Silly. Ofcourse! I love you sooo much sweetheart. More than anything and anyone in this world."
I hugged him tight. Now, I am assured. He kissed my head.
"Now it's my turn, I just have two questions."
"Okay, what?"
"Do you trust me now?"
"Yes, and I'm so sorry. Sorry Sweetheart. I trust you. I'll trust you and your love for me."
"Last question, Do you still love me?"
"Ofcourse! I love you swetheart! I love you. Mahal na mahal kita Jacobo. mahal na mahal."
He kissed me. It was like the first time, full of need and love.
Yes, we ended making love. The proof that whatever happens, I still end up giving my self to him.
After some minutes of rest, he get up and asked me if we could go out and be able to visit our son. He was so sorry he forgot the dates already. Ofcourse, I went with him.
On our baby's grave, I saw how sorry Jake was. He weep like it just happened yesterday. He wept as if he lost his soul. He was very sorry to his son. He was hugging the cold marble with his son's name.
We stayed there until midnight then went home to our unit. I just took a bath and get ready to sleep when I saw my husband drawing something on the table.
"Sweetheart, What are you doing?"
"I'm making my gift to my little boy."
"What's that?"
"A plan for his mausoleum. I should have made this right away."
"I'm sure he'll be happy to see that."
"I hope so. Anyway, go to sleep now sweetheart. We'll be early tomorrow so we'll able to fetch Mommy before we go to Papang. Go get some sleep. I'll just finish this one first."
He told me he'll visit Papang too. He needs to make it up to my father, to my family.He'll say sorry for making me cry and not being able to be there. He asked me to contact my family so we can dine out together tomorrow. I willingly oblige. No wonder Papang entrusted me to him, he was very willing to make up for his mistakes.
I smiled at him. Then kissed his head before heading to our bed. I know my Baby Jacob had forgiven his Daddy and I know he'll be happy with his Daddy's gift.
And I am happy. I will trust him more than ever now. I just thank God for making my husband so patient with me. Atleast I have a husband who'll never leave me.
