"Ashen,"

What is he doing? He still awake? Tinignan ko ang wall clock at nakitang pasado alas kwatro palang. Bakit hindi pa siya natutulog?

"Hey,"nang magmulat siya ng mata ay namumungay ang mga iyon at ngumiti saakin. Mula sa pagkakahiga ay bumangon ako at umupo sa tabi niya.

"Bakit gising ka pa?"I asked, curiously.

"I can't sleep."nangingiti siyang umiling saakin."So I prayed and thank God for giving you to me. For giving me two lovely kids."he kiss me.

Malalaki na ang anak namin pero parang sariwa pa din ang nangyare noon.

I shot dad pero hindi siya namatay dahil doon, namatay siya dahil sa cardiac arrest. Wala naman akong natatandaan na may sakit sa puso si dad but it turns out to be iyon ang unang atake niya at binawian agad ng buhay. And si Sally? She's gone too. Para nga silang nagreunion sa heaven at iniwan akong mag-isa dito. But then I realized I was never alone. Ashen is always there for me, simula noon at hanggang ngayon. Now I have my own family. And Ashen loves us so much. Ashen changed since we got married he's not the same old playboy entitled he is now a loving and devoted husband and the best father to our son and daughter, Ashppire and Shaniere. Sa wakas may babae na sa mga batang Corrins. She's the first one and then...Although I don't think it's a good idea masiyado kasing naiispoiled si Shaniere, kahit na ang kuya Ashpire niya ay iniispoiled din siya and even Ashen.

Mabuti na lang at balanse si Ashen sa mga bata kaya kahit na sobrang spoiled ni Shaniere she still know when Ashen said NO then it's a NO.

"Thank you, babe."Inihilig ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya at yumakap sakanya."I don't think I'll survive everything without you. I was never taught to be dependent to anyone until you came. You're my source of strength, kayo ng mga anak nating spoiled."I chuckled.

"And you are my sanity, Sapphire. You gaved me the best gifts I could ever asked for. You gaved me family I always admire and envy before. I'll do everything so I can protect and love the three of you. Thank you for accepting this Playboy to be part of your life. Dati pinapangarap ko lang ito e. Ngayon nasa harapan ko na."he smiled...dreamingly.

The next day Shaniere wake us up excitedly.

"Dad! Mom! Goodmorning!"she beamed happily. Naka-ayos na ito.

"You're too early, Shaniere."Kunyareng galit na sabi ni Ashen sa anak.

Shaniere pouted."I'm sorry, dad. I'm just so excited. It's kuya Dacci's birthday and sa mansion nila gaganapin right? Kuya Dacci told me he'll teach me how to swim sa susunod na magkita kami!"natutuwang pagkukuwento niya.

"Argh! There she is again! Sometimes I regret spoiling her too much!"naiiling na sabi ni Ashppire na kapapasok lang sa kwarto namin ni Ashen."Hi, dad...mom!"bati nito saamin.

"Goodmorning, babies!"I teased.

They both groaned and look at me annoyed."Mom! We're not babies anymore!"they said in unison.

Mas lalo akong natawa at napailing na lang."Whatever!"sabay irap ko sakanila

"Shaniere, baka hindi ka matuturuan ngayon ni Dacci. It's his birthday. Siguradong busy iyon at hindi lang ikaw ang bisita sa mansion nila. Don't be too spoiled."pangangaral ko sakanya.

"But mo--"

"You heard mommy, Shaniere. Hindi sa lahat ng oras itotolerate ang pagiging spoiled mo."seryosong sabi ni Ashen.

Napapangusong tumango si Shaniere. Ginulo naman ni Ashppire ang buhok ng kapatid.

"Don't be sad, Shaniere. May hang-out naman tayong magpipinsan at sa mansion naman iyon nila Eosell."Ashpirre grinned.

Bigla namang nagliwanag ang mukha ng kapatid niya."Right! Thanks kuya!"

"Sige na. Lumabas na kayong dalawa at magreready na kami ng daddy niyo."I told them.

"Okay, mom."Ashppire nodded. Shaniere nodded eagerly at hinila na palabas ang kuya niya.

"I think this is the curse of being the daughter of a Corrins."I teased Ashen who's now looking guilty."Masiyadong ispoiled."

"I'm sorry, babe. Please don't leave me."iling niya.

"Baliw! Bakit naman kita iiwan? Ang lalaki na ng mga anak natin sa tingin mo ngayon pa talaga kita iiwan? And what would be the reason for me to leave you?"I eyed him suspiciously."Siguro...nambababae ka?"I glared at him jokingly.

"What?"he gasped."Babe! Kapag ginawa ko 'yon siguradong iiwan mo ko. I chased you for like all my life I don't want to ruin it just for a lust. Sobra pa sa kuntento ang nararamdaman ko araw-araw tuwing gigising ako na mukha mo ang bubungad saakin."

"I know!"I laugh."I'm just joking. Ang sarap mo kasing asarin e!"I grinned.

"Tss."he pouted."Palagi mo kong ginogood time palibhasa alam mong hindi ako makakapalag."aniya na tila nagtatampo.

"Come on! Hindi ka pa ba sanay, Mr. Corrins?"kumandong ako sakanya. He stilled for a moment before he smiled playfully."Sanay na, Mrs. Corrins."at ipinulupot ang kamay sa baywang ko.

Never in my wildest imagination that this day will happen---okay maybe a little bit in my wildest imagination I imagined this. Falling in love with the Playboy. Marrying the Playboy. And be the mother of the Playboy's child. This...is the best thing happened to me. Ashen is the best gift I've received. And I would never ever regret my decision even if I have given a chance to go back and change my future. I will still choose him. Him and him alone.

"Babe!"mula sa likod yumakap saakin si Ashen."You look so beautiful, Mrs. Corrins!"

"Seympre alaga mo, Mr. Corrins."I winked at him.

"Damn! Wag na lang tayo pumunta sa mansion nila Deyron. Dito na lang tayo. Magkulong na lang tayo sa kwarto buong araw."he lick his lower lips.

"Heh! Umisa kana nga kanina bago tayo maligo e."I rolled my eyes.

"Pero gusto ko pa ng marami!"he pouted.

"Ashen! Birthday ng pamangkin mo."paalala ko sakanya.

"Damn!"hinalikan niya ko sa leeg."Sa susunod na linggo sa mansion nila Elysian matutulog ang mga bata. Maybe we can grab that chance and..."

"And?"tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"Sundan na natin sila?"he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Sige. Basta ikaw ang manganganak? Wala namang problema saakin basta ganon."I laughed.

"Aish!"he look at me annoyed."Fine. Hindi na."pagsuko niya.

Natawa na lang ako at yumakap sakanya."I'm ready! Let's go?"nakangiting tanong ko.

"Yeah."

We're about to leave the room when he stop and held my hand.

"Sapphire Corrins,"he called.

"Hmm?"I smiled sweetly at him.

"I love you always and forever."hinalikan niya ang likod ng palad ko.

Lumapit ako sakanya at sinakop ang espasyo sa pagitan namin."And I love you too until the next life of mine. I will always chose you."tapos tumingkayad ako at hinalikan siya sa labi.
