Cole can't help but smile as he looked at his wife's sleeping profile. He leaned to kiss her forehead while Hiro is also settled in his arms and sleeping soundly. He knew his Raya is tired. It's an almost 20 hours flight from Stockholm to Manila. Buti na lang at nagvolunteer si Lora na sunduin sila sa airport. It was less of their worries na. He planned to surprise Raya and bring her directly to their new home. Based sa pictures and videos na sinend ni Lora, it's already habitable.

He saw her move only to adjust her position and went back to sleep again. He caressed Raya's face while looking at her soft features. Her straight nose, small face and red full lips that is soft and sweet. How her brows creased when she's on deep thoughts. He chuckled upon remembering how Raya gets her way into things when they were younger. It only takes, furrowed brows, pout, trembling lips - a sign that she's about to cry and Cole will do all her biddings. Kahit hanggang ngayon. Alipin pa rin siya ng pagmamahal kay Raya. But he's not complaining. He is a happy and contented man. In fact, he's a lucky son of a bitch. Sabay silang lumaki ni Raya, they explored love together, they got hurt and fixed things together. They are life partners.

Sa paglalakbay ng isip niya ay hindi niya na napansin that his wife is already awake and smiling brightly at him.

"Saan na umabot ang mister ko?" Raya leaned to give him a kiss on his cheek and kissed Hiro's forehead.

"Naisip ko lang na ang swerte ko sa'yo baby. Tapos may Hiro pa and then malapit na din lumabas ang prinsesa natin. I can't ask for anything more. Sobrang kompleto ko na."

"I love you mahal. I'm excited to face what this new move has in store for us. Alam ko namang madali lang to kasi magkasama tayo."

Nahinto ang paguusap nila nang mag announce na to prepare for landing.

Cole carried the sleeping Hiro in his right arm and Raya's carryall bag on his other hand habang naka angkla ang asawa sa braso niya. They are a picture of a happy family.

"Call mo na si Lora baby na nakalapag na tayo. I think she's already outside."

"Yes love." While she's fishing her phone from her pocket.

Sinagot naman agad ni Lora ang tawag after two rings.

"Lors beb, nandito na kami naghihintay ng luggage."

"Oh my gosh! Excited na akong makita kayo ni Cole at inaanak kom I'll wait sa Bay 15. Same car so you won't miss it."

"Thanks sa pagsundo beb. Ito nakuha na ni Coley mga luggages namin. We're going out na. Bye!" She turned off the phone and beamed at Cole.

"Nasa labas na siya love." She leaned closer para mahalikan ng asawa ang noo niya.

"Kumusta naman ang Sweden? Akala ko di na kayo uuwi eh."

"Hahaha! Pwede ba naman yun. Temporary lang naman talaga ang plano namin dun. Kung di nga lang sumama tong kaibigan mo baka hindi ako umabot ng isang taon dun."

"Di kayo mapaghiwalay eh no at alam niyo naman na ultimate OTP ko kayo. Sinabi ko nga dito kay Raya na baka di na ako magkaboyfriend dahil masyado mo na namang tinaasan ang standards."

"Sira! Mahal ko lang talaga tong bestfriend mo. Mukhang ginayuma ako eh."

"Talaga lang love ha. Baka ako kamo ang ginayuma mo."

"Pahinging panggayuma." Sabat ni Lora na nagpatawa sa tatlo.

"Pero ang saya na at last nandito na kayo. Mapanggigigilan ko na ang super cute kong inaanak na sa video ko lang nakikita."

"Hay naku Lors. Ikaw lang ang susuko dyan pag gising." Napatingin si Raya sa dinadaanan dahil parang hindi pamilyar sa kanya.

"Teka, saan tayo pupunta. Mukhang naligaw na yata tayo."
