BACK IN HIS ARMS AGAIN [COMPLETED]

BIHAA 21: Married life

ACE

It has been five years since we got married and every moment of those are precious memories I wanted and I intend to keep for the rest of my life. Those years with my wife and my kids are amazing. It might not be perfect, hell our family was never perfect but we love each other so that makes it a comfortable home. Ilang beses na kaming sinubok lalo na nang bumalik sa pag-aaral si Luna at ako naman ang naiwan sa bahay para bantayan ang mga anak namin. Gusto kong bumalik sa pagtuturo pero mas kinailangan ako ng Zagreus Chain of Hotels na pag-aari namin kaya minabuti ko na lamang na manatili sa bahay at asikasuhin ang negosyo ng pamilya namin, lalo pa at wala kaming aasahan kay Astra na mas gustong maging doktor kaysa pamahalaan ang kompanya. Good thing reliable ang secretary ko at okay lang sa kanila na hindi ako palagiang nasa opisina.

And as for Luna, madalas akong nagseselos sa mga kaklase n'yang lalaki na tingin ng tingin sa kanya, and darn I can feel that green monster occupying my whole system, kung hindi lang magaling mag-handle ang asawa ko sa tampo ko ay baka marami na akong nabalian ng buto. Natigil ang malalim na pag-iisip nang umabot sa pandinig ko ang boses ng mga anak ko.

"Mama, Dada ihahatid nyo po ba kami sa school?" Asteria asked with a glint of happiness in her eyes, it was twinkling with delight. Her brother—Pyxis heard it too and there's a shadow of happiness and excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, yes baby" nakangiting tugon ko na ikinangiti nilang pareho. They were actually grinning ear to ear.

It was Wednesday and me and my lovely wife will send them to school. Since kaka-graduate lang ng asawa ko and eventually nag-take sya ng board exam as well as NMAT kasi pangarap n'yang maging doktor. Kakatapos lang n'yang mag-exam last week kaya ngayon mas marami na s'yang time sa amin. Luna is so amazing, nagagawa n'yang pagsabayin at bigyan ng panahon ang pag-aaral, ang mga anak namin at sa akin na asawa n'ya. She's incridible for managing her time perfectly. She never miss any thing about us and that makes us love her even more.

"Come on babies, let's go" nakangiting tawag ni Luna sa mga bata na agad namang patakbo na sinalubong ng yakap at ngiti ng mga ito.

Ahh I'm so lucky to have them.

"Let's go Dada" excitement is visible in her voice, probably because we are complete and her mama is not running out of time.

"Okay" I replied chuckling at their enthusiasm and eagerness and then walk towards my car.

The whole ride was fun, my kids are jamming with the song that is played together with my wife.

"Bye Mama, bye Dada" sabay na pagpapaalam ng dalawa habang nanatili ang ngiti sa mga labi. Nasa labas lang kami ng gate ng school at tinatanaw ang mga anak naming ecited na pumasok sa paaralan. Pyxis was already in kindergarten while Asteria is in grade two. Nang masiguro na safe na nakapasok sa kanya-kanyang silid ang dalawa ay agad na kaming umuwi ng asawa ko.

We went home and Luna is busy preparing snacks since gusto nya raw na may pinapapak habang naghihintay sa result ng exam n'ya. She was nervous and it's visible, kahit na hindi n'ya sabihin ay ramdam kong kinakabahan s'ya sa posibleng resulta ng exam. She sacrifice a lot of sleep just to study hard for that exam and I know she will be disappointed kapag bumagsak s'ya. And if ever that happens, I will be there by her side to cheer her up. I will be there for here until she gets over it. But I'm sure she will pass, I believe in her. She will Ace those exams.

"Sweetheart halika na" mahinang tawag ko sa kanya mula rito sa sala.

Nasa kusina pa s'ya at tila hinahanda ang sarili lalo pa at dalawang result ng exam ang aabangan nila ngayon. And I am worried as fuck, I am worried for my wife.
