In many events that happened with Marcoses I'm still here, staying beside them specially Irene. The love of my life.

When papa Ferdinand died, it's hard to accept it, naging close din naman ako sa kanya. It's hard to see my wife crying every night in our bedroom. But as long as I'm here I'll comfort and give anything that will make her happy



"Good morning..." I whispered, to the sleeping Irene beside me.

Marrying her, is the best decision I've made. There are ups and downs but we fight it together.

Now we blessed for a good health baby boy named, Alfonso Maria Luis Fernando Marcos Araneta.

"Good morning dear." She whispered with her sleepy voice. Even how many times I heard her voice I still can't get over it.

"Wake up na..." I said, my hands on her waist.

"Give me a moment." She whispered again.

I chuckled and kiss her forehead. "Good morning Irene ko." I said once again.

"Good morning Gregorio." She smile and finally open her eyes

I excuse myself to freshen up since I need to go on my work.

I see her walking inside the bathroom thru the mirror.

"Bibisita kami kay mama." She said, pertaining her with Fonso.

"Idaan ko na kayo?" Alok ko sa kanya bago hugasan yung mukha ko.

"It might be cause you a trouble." Sagot niya.

"No of course not, and I miss seeing mama now too." Sabi ko naman at tumabi para magamit niya ang sink.

"Ikaw bahala." She replied still regaining her consciousness.

Iniwan ko na sya dun para makita ang aking pinaka poging anak. Pogi siya syempre kamukha nya ako, ganda ganda din ng nanay niya.

He is still sleeping. "Fonso..." I whispered, kahit tulog kamukha ko talaga sya.

I hug him, he is still under the covers.

"Tulog pa ginigising mo naman na." Narinig kong sabi ni Irene.

"Yinakap lang." Sagot ko naman.

Napansin naming nag open na yung mata ni Fonso.

"Good morning my son." Bungad ko sa kanya at yumakap sya sa akin.

Pinatong ko sya sa lap ko. Si Irene nakatingin sa amin.

"Good morning Alfonso!" Bati nang kanyang ina.

"Buhatin mo." Sabi ko kay Irene.

Kinuha naman nya "Mom..." He whispered.

Talentadong bata tong si Fonso, mabilis siyang nakapag salita.

"Let's eat na." Irene said as she carry Alfonso properly.

"Anong ulam?" Tanong ko kay Irene habang sinusundan sila pababa ng second floor.

"Ano bang gusto mo?" Tanong nya sa akin.

Napangiti naman ako at medyo lumapit sa kanya para bumulong.

"Sika." (Ikaw) sagot ko sa tanong nya.

Lumingon siya sa akin para irapan. "Just kidding dear, anything will do." Sagot ko, gusto ko naman kasi talaga sya hahaha.

Habang nag luluto siya, napaka wifey material talaga ang Irene ko. Pinapanood ko si Fonso na tumakbo at gumapang sa sala.

Inaya niya akong maglaro nang laruan, "Do you want a playmate, Fonso?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
