Special Chapter

Having a Francheska Medel-Argonia and Kaizier Medel-Argonia in my life is happiness and a blessing. They are the reason why I want to strive harder. I want to give them the best life that they deserved. Love and cherish them, always and in all ways.

I was still in shock when I heard the news. That I am having another baby. That I am going to be a father again, soon.

Hindi pa ako naniniwala noong sinabi sa akin ni Kaizier na kaya palaging galit at nagta-tantrums ang mama niya ay dahil nga buntis ito.

I am so happy because after ten years. God provide us with another blessing. An angel I'm going to protect until my last breath.

Isang anghel na makikita ko kung paano siya ipagbubuntis at ipapanganak ng kaniyang ina. Hindi ko man naranasan iyon sa unang pagkakataon dahil sa mga nangyari noon. Sisiguraduhin kong mararanasan ko ito ngayon.

"Mon chemin?"

I turned my gaze into my wife. She's in our bed, lying with a blanket covering her whole body.

"Bakit gising ka pa, mon chemin? Hindi ba at may pasok ka pa mamaya?" She asked and yawned after.

Naupo ako sa bakanteng espasyo ng aming kama.

As I stared at the gorgeous face of my wife. I couldn't help myself but smile. This is the dream I've been praying for. The dream that had been fulfilled by Him.

"Thank you, dear God." I said it only in my mind.

"Earth to my mon chemin!" She snapped her fingers at me.

"Uh, hey, aishi. Uhm, yeah, I have work later but I can't sleep."

Naupo ito at sinandalan ang headboard. "Bakit hindi ka makatulog? May problema ba? Alam mo naman, diba? Pwede mong ibahagi sa akin ang mga problema mo. Asawa mo ako, eh." Kuryosong pagtatanong niya sa akin.

Iniangat ko ang aking mga paa at sumampa sa aming kama para makatabi sa kaniya.

I put my left shoulder around her neck and I put my head on her shoulder. I purred like a kitten.

"I don't have a problem, aishi. I was just thinking about our family and also the baby in your belly," I said and put my right hand in her belly.

"Oh, mon chemin, I am sure that you'll be a great father to our baby. Dahil alam kong mamahalin mo rin siya sa kung paano mo mahalin si Kaizier, ang unang baby sa buhay natin." Ipinatong niya sa kamay kong nakahawak sa kaniyang tiyan ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay at masuyo iyong hinaplos.

We have an eye to eye count for some minutes before I kissed her temple. "Matulog na tayo, aishi. Bawal sa buntis ang magpuyat."

"Good mornight, mon chemin," she whispered then she plants some kisses all over my face. Then we kiss each other.

Nang mahiga na siyang muli ay inayos ko ang pagkakalagay ng kumot sa kaniyang buong katawan. Bago ako tumabi ng higa. "Good mornight, aishi. Mahal kita."

Muli kong hinalikan ang kaniyang sentido, siya naman ay yumakap sa akin. "Mahal din kita." Sa ganoong posisyon kami nakatulog.

"Are you really sure, dad that you don't want to know the gender of my sibling? Hindi ba talaga tayo magpapa gender reveal?" Kaizier asked for the nth time. I can't count how many times he asked me that question.

Everytime he saw me, he will asked me that question. I tap my son's shoulder.

"Anak, how many times do I have to answer that question? Hindi ba't matagal ko nang sinagot iyan?"
