M: Sure ka, Love? Pwede naman na kasi tayong...

R: Ssshhh... *pulls M closer and closes his eyes* Naka-kondisyon na tong katawan kong matulog. Pahinga na muna tayo, okay? *kisses her neck and nuzzles in it*

M: Pero kasi maaga pa naman tsaka I promised Angel I will help her go Trick or Treating around the village tonight.

R: Ikaw na ang bumili ng costume niya kaya na ni Riza yung makeup at si Dad na bahala sumama sa kanya.

M: *sighs and cups his cheek* Love, this isn't about...

R: No. *opens his eyes and looks at her* Gusto ko lang makatulog tayo nang maaga at maka-biyahe nang maaga bukas. Okay?

M: Hindi kasi ako makatulog. I feel like we should be there now. Sa Bulacan pa tayo ng hapon bukas kaya iniisip ko na pumunta na ngayon to spend more time sa Laguna first.

R: Bukas na. Pahinga muna tayo, okay?

M: Sobrang dami ko pang energy oh. Sa kotse ka na lang matulog, ako na magda-drive, biyahe na tayo ngayon.

R: No. Wag na makulit. Okay?

M: *sighs, it's one of those times when he's being stubborn again but she knows how occasions like this that reminds him of Mommy Rio's passing has been difficult for him* Okay. *closes her eyes*

R: *quietly watches her face and gently kisses her forehead to straighten her frown*

M: *opens her eyes and stares at R*

R: Halika. Ubusin natin yang energy mo. *smirks and cradles her nape then kisses her deeply and hungrily*

M: *pulls R closer and kisses him back, hoping to someday completely heal him from the hurts of his past*

M: *wakes up from a peaceful dream of flower fields and butterflies to a soft gust of air touching her cheek that carries what seems to her was a whisper, slowly opens her eyes and finds herself snugly wrapped in her husband's embrace* Love... gising na. -*gently shakes R awake, she used to be scared of those dreams and the manner with which she wakes up from them which started to happen shortly before she met R but not anymore, she's used to them now after having them almost regularly and there really is more comfort in those visits than horror*

R: *softly groans and stretches* Love?

M: We have to go. Naghihintay na si Mommy. *smiles when R opens his eyes* Magtatampo na yun sa'yo. Kagabi ka pa.

R: *grins* Ayan ka na naman. Kung makapagsalita ka parang kasasabi lang niya sa'yo ngayon.

M: *smiles* You have no idea. *chuckles* Let's go na kundi kukurutin ka na niya sa singit.

R: *quickly kisses M's lips and immediately bolts out of bed* Tara na, Love! Ang bagal mo! *runs to the bathroom*

M: *laughs at R and shakes her head when he almost trips at the door* Laki-laking lampara talaga nito. Makaligo na nga din. *gets out of bed and joins R in the shower* 💛🍃
