Tahimik ang buong mansion pagbalik namin mula sa mahigit isang buwan naming bakasyon sa Europe.
"Where are they?" tanong ni Renz sa isang maid.
"Nasa Batangas po" sagot ng katulong. Kumunot ang noo ni Renz.
I thought we are going to surprise them pero wala naman pala sila.
Hinaplos ko ang braso ng asawa ko. "Let's go there." Anyaya ko. Alam ko namang namiss niya ang pamilya niya.
Matagal ang naging bakasyon naming and I truly enjoyed it. We been dreaming to have a cruise around Europe pero masyado kaming naging busy after we graduate, we got married and we started to prove ourselves with the field we choose. Renz excel with his family's business while I started working in different clothing line until I decided to create my own clothing line with my best friend, Monica, the Rosy Rose.
My first creation is my wedding gown. It was like a dream come true, I designed my dream wedding gown and wore it my very special day. It is the best day of my life, to become Mrs. Renz Monteverde.
Umiling siya. "You take a rest."
Ngumuso ako saka sumiksik sa braso niya. "Let's go to Batangas. I have pasalubong for Apple." Nakakunot ang noon a tinitigan niya ako, he's like reading my mind.
I don't have any problem with the girl, Apple. I really like her. She seems very nice. Alam ko gipit siya at bukod tanging ang pamilyang Monteverde lang ang makakatulong sa kanya. Lola Cecilia explained everything to me.
Hindi man maganda sa isip ko na nakipagsiping ang asawa ko sa iba but I trust him. I really do. I know my husband love me and I love him so much. I will give him what he deserves. He deserves a child of his own, na hindi ko kayang ibigay.
"Hey. Bakit malungkot ka? Ok fine. Pupunta na tayong Batangas kung yan ang gusto mo." Saka niya hinaplos ang pisngi ko.
Napangiti ako. I'm the spoiled wife.
"I love you, Babe." I kissed him on his lips.
Bahagya siyang nagulat sa ginawa ko pero mabilis din niyang tinugon ang halik ko. He closed his eyes, so I do.
I already miss his lips, kahit wala kaming ginawa sa buong bakasyon naman bukod sa paggagala is to cuddle and make love.
"I love you, too."

Dahil gusto ni Isabel na pumunta kami ng Batangas, pumunta kami. I let her sleep during our way to Batangas.
Ayoko pa sana pumunta dito.
I spend my whole month with my wife; I want to forget I made a sin.
Our whole vacation is good escape with all our problems here... or I just guess so.
Nang makarating kami sa rest house, confirmed na andito nga sila. Andito ang Fortuner ni Daddy at BMW 650i Convertible ni Jo, he's flashy. I already expected Jo's car here. Lola told me Jo spends his vacation here.
Really what's up with them?
Nakasalubong naming si Manong Ben and driver ni Lola. Siya siguro nag-drive ng Fortuner. Di ko kasi makita ang SUV ni Lola.
"Babe, wake up. We're here." Umungol muna si Isabel bago tuluyang gumising at hinakot ang mga dala niya. May pasalubong din daw siya kay Nana Lydia.
"Good Afternoon po, Sir, Ma'am. Nakabalik na po pala kayo." Tango lang ang tinugon ko samantalang nakangiting gumanti ng bati si Isabel at sinabing sa Manila na nalamang nito iaabot ang pasalubong kay Manong Ben.
