They just finished eating lunch in their go-to place in Tagaytay when Miguel asked if they can go to Sky Ranch, the amusement park that they passed by earlier.


"Papa, can we go, please?"


Matthew fixes the little boy's hair and looks over to Sam, "Okay lang sayo?"


Sam puts her iced tea down and motions towards Matthew. "Oo naman. But it's up to you kasi ikaw naman ang magdadrive."


"Papa, please?" There it goes. Miguel's magical eyes.


"Mama, look, o." Matthew points at Miguel, "Kung may kayang humindi sa mukha niyang 'yan, bibilib ako."


"It always works with me. Nakakainis!" She pinches Miguel's cheek and laughs.

After waiting in the long line to get their ride tickets, Miguel led the way to the airplane ride called Wonder Flight.


"Love, do you want to go with Migs?" Matt asks as they get closer to the gate.


"Ikaw na lang muna. Para you can spend some time with each other."


He slightly caressed her waist, "We all need to spend time together naman. Hindi lang kami."


She smiles, "Sige, us three will ride after this. Pero solo mo muna siya on this one. I think he'll love that.


He nods and finally, it was their turn to ride.


The ride started and the airplanes spun in a circle. When Miguel and Matthew came around, she saw how happy they both were. Especially Miguel.


She couldn't help but smile. All she wanted was for her son to meet Matthew and be happy. Seeing that happen right in front of hr eyes was pure happiness.

It's now early evening and they were in their seats on the Ferris Wheel. Their last ride before they head to dinner.


The wheel began to turn and Miguel was looking out. "Mama, look, we're going up!"


"Yeah! You see the people are becoming smaller na," Sam says.


Matthew holds Miguel on his lap so he can see outside better.


The two starts conversing. Sam snaps a picture then she just watches as both of them talk to each other like those 3 years never happened.


But a thought intrudes her mind.


As Matthew kisses Miguel's cheek, she couldn't help but wonder: until when will this last?
