Damn That FEELING-PERFECT Guy

E P I L O G U E

"Dad, I wanna try that. Can I?"

I stared at the very blue sea in front of us, tourists busy riding on their speedboats back and forth under the heat of blazing sun. It's a damn hot summer afternoon.

I glanced at my son beside me, wearing the same shades like mine.

"That's a bit dangerous for you, try riding banana boats. " I chuckled.

Agad nagsalubong ang mga kilay nya. "No, that's so boring."

"Well, I can ride the jetski for you." I smiled cooly.

"And I am just gonna watch you?" He asked, a bit irritated. Oh, what a short tempered boy. Got it from your mom, huh? I smirked.

"Go, ask your mom."

He walked towards my wife who's comfortably lying on the bench reading a magazine. Her skin's showing a bit from her white beach dress with a slit. I stared darkly at the guys glancing at her though she doesn't seem to mind it. I want to rip their eyes. You wish, dude. I decided to walk and sat beside her.

"Mom, I'm going to ride a jetski with dad."

She dropped the magazine she's reading and looked at Precian. She raised her eyebrow. "You can't. That's only for adults."

"But I am with dad, I will be safe." Precian reasoned out.

"You're still a kid, Precian."

"I'm not. Im already seven years old, mom." He said in annoyance.

"Bakit ba 'yon ang gusto mo?Magswimming ka nalang doon sa pool, may salbabida akong dala."

Hershey glared at me when I laughed. Precian is so annoyed and pissed.

I leaned and kissed my wife's cheeks. "Let him, I'll take care of him. Don't worry."

She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Bahala nga kayong dalawa. Wag nyo 'kong guluhin dito."

Hershey's POV

Ibinaling ko ang atensyon ko sa pag aayos ng mga pagkain sa mesa. Habang abala ang mag-ama, tanaw ko sa di kalayuan ang dalawa at nagdadrive ng Jetski. Napangiti na lang ako ng kumaway sakin si Precian at halatang nag-eenjoy habang hawak ang manibela.

It's been two years after we got married. Sobrang bilis ng panahon, parang kelan lang. Hayst, sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam.

"Mom!" narinig kong sigaw ni Precian mula sa dagat.

Malawak ang private resort na ito. Malinis ang tubig at tahimik.

Naramdaman ko ang pagtunog ng cellphone ko. Agad kong kinapa ang bulsa ko upang kunin ito.

Nagflash sa screen ko ang pangalan ni Flaire para sa video call. Sinagot ko agad iyon at bumungad sakin ang nakangiti nyang mukha.

'Hershey, Im sorry. I'm gonna be late. Dinaanan ko pa gift ko kay Precian.' paliwanag nya.

'No problem. Maaga pa naman at saka wala pa din yung iba.' tugon ko.

'Thank gahd, but don't worry  I'll be there.' kinindat pa nya ako bago pinatay ang tawag.
