It Was Always You

Kiefer Ravena

"Miks, wag kang masyadong magulo! Basta, we're getting there!" I blindfolded Mika on our way to the newly designed room for the twins. It only took three days to finish the whole new look. The image that we were picturing in our minds were came to life, ganun kagaling yung interior designer.

"Are you ready?" Mika smiled and nodded so I removed her blindfold.

"Wow! Oh my goodness, Kiefer!" That was all she can say while hugging me. Mika was really thrilled after seeing the room for the twins.

"Did you like it?"

"Are you kidding me? I love it!" Mika walked around the room, scrutinizing and touching the embellishments and furnitures in the room. I let her wander around and seeing her smile made me fall deeper in love with her.

"It's perfect, Kiefer." Mika said while looking every where.

The room was white in color but the left side was for Kenzo and his things while the right side was intended for Katie. Princess themed yung kay Katie while kay Kenzo naman is more on superheroes and boy stuff.

The baby cribs were already assembled as well as the carriages. There was a huge shelf where the can of powdered milk and feeding bottles were placed. Underneath that shelf was another set of drawers where the grooming essentials and hygenic materials were placed. There was also a play area inside their room.

"I can't wait for the twins!" I said excitedly. Only to see Mika crying.

"Kiefer, you have given me so much. I don't know what else to say." She said in between her sobs.

"No, Mika. You were the one who has given me so much of your love."  I kissed her temple. Mika hugged me tight once again. I won't replace this moment for anything else.

"Before I could forget, I have another surprise for you." I held her hand and opened the door that led us to a mini walk-in closet filled with baby clothes. Onesies, white garments, underwear, dresses for Katie, as well as polo for Kenzo, socks, hats, caps, and baby shoes.

"Kiefer!!! Grabe!" Mika cried out. She really is happy right now.

"Well, I'm sorry if you were not the one who chose these clothes. Surprise kasi eh. But Dani helped me picked those lalo na yung para kay Katie. I hope it's enough." I explained. Mika was still hugging me.

"Hello?! Malamang enough na 'to no! Ang dami nito sobra!" She escaped in my arms and looked around the closet.

"Hindi kasi namin alam ni Dani kung may color preference ka. So, kapag kay Katie mostly pink. Kay Kenzo naman mostly blue." I told her. Mika kept chuckling after checking out each dress or clothes. Her eyes was locked in a customized hoodie. A green and a blue hoodie given by Dani with their names embroidered in front. The green is for Katie while the blue one is for Kenzo.

"Wow, cute naman nito! Ateneo-La Salle pa rin?" Mika asked.

"That was given by Dani. Yung blue na hoodie kay Kenzo daw, then the green one is for Katie." I answered. She has this genuine smile that could melt anyone's heart.

Mika started to cry again. I gave her my handkerchief for her to wipe the tears off her face.

"Sorry, I'm just so happy because of all these. It makes me feel that our children are loved by many even if they are not yet born." She said while sobbing. I carresed her back to soothe her.

"Alam mo bang sobra na silang excited sa twins? Baka mag-abang pa sila sa ospital habang nanganganak ka." I joked that made her laugh a little.
