The Perfect Tandem

Special Chapter

#ThePerfectTandemWP | Much-Needed Special Chapter

Instantly after meeting her father, she loves him so much already. Para bang alam niya na ito ang Dad niya.

We went back to our house. Thanatos looks really domesticated now. It's a new look for him. I find it hot sometimes 'cause it suits him but I'll never tell him that.

He's also as smitten with our daughter. He even named a new building in Batangas after Sigrid, since dun naman siya pinanganak.

Nung mga unang buwan, magkatabi kami ngunit may distansya. I was thankful for that. He didn't make any advances whatsoever. Saka I was busy tending to Sigrid atleast almost every night.

We decided to be friends again. It was a wise decision since babalik na rin ako sa trabaho. Sa Ambrosia Empires pa rin. Nga lang, di na as secretary niya because he already has Nero.

I told him I might venture into professional seminars and part-time in UP. But I know I had to take care of Sigrid, so he made me a consultant first. He originally wanted me to be a member of the board of directors but that's a privilege as his wife. Ayokong isiksik ang sarili ko lalo't friends muna kami.

It has been a more than a year later. My baby is at her cutest and she can mumble words. Englishera nga ang anak ko eh! Napapaligiran kasi ng mga mayayaman. Kahit si Evan pa-sosyal. I'll make sure she'll learn Filipino words tho.

And me and Thanatos? We've done a great job at co-parenting. We never talked about going back together...

But actually, our actions are like any other husband and wife, well... minus the sex. Ewan ko, parang naging natural sa'min na alagaan ang isa't-isa. We're living together so I guess it's only right.

I won't deny... kinikilig ako. Para kaming nagbabahay-hayan kahit naman kasal kami sa papel.

I am only waiting for him to finally address about 'us'. But everything's going so well that I'm afraid to ask him. Isa pa... I didn't push through the annulment. So okay na siguro 'yon.

"Anak, pinagod mo 'ko buong araw tapos sa tatay mo tatawa ka ng ganyan?" himutok ko.

Thanatos just came home from work. I spent the day cleaning the house and taking care of Sigrid. Dalawa lang kasi helper namin and I didn't want to hire a nanny yet. Maybe when I'll work I'll consider. For now, I want to take care of her myself. Mahirap ngayon pero kasi mabilis lang ang panahon na bata sila..

"Don't worry, sa susunod lalaki naman ang anak natin."

I rolled my eyes. Honestly, mejo tumibok puso ko don.

Achilles had an extravagant birthday party in Corregidor Island. He even managed to throw a party sa isang yate.

Helen was giggling as she was entertaining Sigrid. "Amin na muna siya, don kayo! Maraming businessmen don!" Wala akong nagawa sa pagtaboy niya. Helen really adores our daughter.

Thanatos shook his head. "Let's go." Hinila niya ako palayo.

"Ugh, don't tell me business pa rin? It's Achilles's birthday pa rin!"

"No. We'll stroll around. And his birthday was yesterday."

Nakarating kami sa main deck. I think it was the view that a captain would oversee.

The yatch wasn't moving. Thank goodness I'm not seasick or anything. Ang bongga talaga mag-party ng mga mayayaman.

Nakapatong ang kamay namin sa bakal. The sea breeze was wonderful. The moonlight was even more mesmerizing.
