Billionaire's Wife

Fifty-three

"What is this all about, Azis?"

Nasa kalagitnaan pa lang ako ng hagdan nang nakita ko si Vonn na nakatayo sa paanan at naghihintay habang may mga ngiting nakapaskil sa labi. He looked dashing with his normal pambahay clothes. Very different from the stoic businessman that he is whenever he is working.

"Patience, Love. It's a surprise."

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay, lalo pa nang nakita ko ang muting kaba sa mga kilos niya. Pero sa huli, pinatulan ko na lang ang kung ano mang trip niya sa buhay ngayong gabi. Nakalahad na ang kamay niya nang makababa na ako, and with a smile, I put my hand on his.

Medyo natagalan ako bago nakababa kasi namangha pa ako sa malaking walk-in closet sa kwarto, kaya ag inasahan kong makita ay ang nakakunot noo niyang ekspresyon. But I was wrong. He was smiling from ear to ear na para bang hindi nya alintana kung gaano ko siya katagal pinaghintay.

"You're so gorgeous, Mrs. Azis."

There was no humor in his voice, so I stared at him seriously too.

"I know, Mr. Azis."

I am wearing an oversize shirt na kinuha ko sa closet niya at isang maong shorts. Sabi niya kasi pumili ako ng komportableng damit, so I chose to wear this one.

"No, really, Sapphire." He stated, eyes are all on me. "You are so beautiful tonight."

Napatitig ako sa kanya nang tumawa siya. I really like seeing him laugh. It feels like the sun had finally shone on me after a year of endless rain. Nakakagaan sa pakiramdam makita ang mga tawa niyang alam kong matagal tagal din bago ko muling nakita. Every smile of him is a treasure that should be kept.

"Quit staring at me like you want to devour me, right here, right now, Love." he smile sheepishly before tightening his hold on my hand. "Let's go before I'll grant your perverted request"

"Wow. Ako pa ngayon ang manyak?" Inirapan ko siya. "Sino kaya itong hindi ako pinatulog ng maayos kagabi dahil sa—"

"Alright," He chuckled, cutting me off. "I just missed you so much. I admit defeat."

Tatawa-tawa pa siya nang marahan niya akong hinila para maglakad na. He held my hand while walking to the unfamiliar place. Sa una ay naka kunot pa ang noo ko, pero unti-unting namutawi sa labi ko ang isang ngiti habang natatanaw ang isang harden. And I almost stopped on my track when I finally had the chance to see the entire garden. It was magical!

"Surprise," he whispered on me.

It was so beautiful that I need to pinch my arm para siguraduhing hindi ako nananaginip.

"What's this all about, Vonn?"

"I'm trying to replace a terrible memory form the past" Bakas sa tinig niya ang pagkahiya kaya tiningnan ko siya. "Uh... I hope it works though."
