AN:
First of all, I want to say THANK YOU po sa lahat ng tumangkilik ng story na ito. I know, I know, sometimes it's too dragging, I, myself got bored in between, he he he. Thank you, though, for your patience, thank you sa pangungulit ng update (kahit iisa siyang nangungulit, he he he), and a BIG THANK YOU for waiting still for me to finish this one.
Second, SORRY po for keeping this last chapter on hold for a VERY VERY long time. To be honest, nawala po yung drive ko, ika nga, to continue this story (and the others, too). I was even thinking of deleting them all and even ignored watty for sometime. A die-hard fan would know why. But that's totally selfishness on my part.
Anyhow, here's the last part. HOPE you enjoy reading!

"I love you...."
"I love you...."
Sabay nilang sinambit ang mga katagang iyon nang marating nila ang sukdulan.
Hapung-hapo na isinubsob ni Adam ang ulo niya sa leeg ng asawa.
She felt so tired but sated and satisfied after that last bout of lovemaking. Nakailang beses na nga ba sila? Even her mind was energy drained, she couldn't even count kung ilang beses na silang nakarating sa rurok ng ligaya.
She looked at her husband who was now breathing evenly at the crook of her neck. Feeling him breathing on her, hindi pa rin siya makapaniwalang asawa na niya talaga si Gerard nor the fact that she became insatiable as he. At hinarana pa siya kanina sa harap ng maraming tao sa mall!
She had to admit, mula nang tuluyan na siyang gumaling mula sa panganganak niya, Gerard never failed to show her how much he loves her. By words or by action, outside and especially inside their bedroom, she is worshipped by the man. Maybe that's one of the reasons kaya madali siyang naka-recover sa kakaibang depression na naramdaman niya. At hindi agad niya na-realize yun. Natabunan ang lahat ng katotohanang iyon ng insecurity niya dahil sa pagbubuntis niya.
Thinking back those days, she was very thankful her husband never left her side nor gave up. Not even a tiny hint of regret of marrying her, hindi niya naramdaman mula rito. Bagkus, mas ipinakita pa nito ang bagong ito, ang pagiging totoo at mabait nitong tao. Her husband was truly a good person, was only overshadowed by his anger with his mother, who now, is one of her best friends and an ally to her. She wished for a good man, she never thought God would give her more than what she asked for. All the pains she had experienced for getting this man to be beside her were nothing to the happiness she felt and continue feeling, now that he's officially hers. She feels so blessed for having him. And their child, Lauren, plus the coming baby.
She sighed and gave him a kiss on top of his head. "I love you. Thank you for putting the slipper on me that night in Singapore. I never thought it was the start of our happy ending, a beginning with no ending."
Akala niya nakatulog na ito. Nagulat siya nang magsalita ang lalake. "And thank you for falling off from that seesaw. That fall started the whole new me."
"Akala ko nakatulog ka na."
"Nah, I was just resting. Sobrang napagod kanina. You're amazing, honey! Getting better and better!"
Hampas sa braso ang isinagot niya sa asawa. "Sanayin mo ba naman halos araw-araw?" nahihiya niyang amin dito.
"Not mentioning different locations, in different pos.....aray!" Kinurot kasi niya ito. "What? Nahihiya ka pa rin?"
"Ipangalandakan mo ba naman!"
"Honey, tayo lang dalawa dito sa kuwarto. I thought your inhibitions were thrown into thin air kapag tayo lang? What about those times you almost begged me to push and pu.....uuummmpphhh!"
