Married Life

Kathryn's POV

"Bal, this bath formula you gave me is so perfect." I said as Daniel scrubs my back.

Almost 9 months na ang baby namin, Nakakaramdam na rin ako ng sakit sa katawan dahil malaki na ang baby bump ko. I need to relax, from work,from house choires, from our children.

"December ko pa 'to niregalo diba, bal? Tinipid mo talaga?" Tanong niya habang ang leeg ko naman ang ini-iscrub niya.

"Yes, I only use this flavor whenever we bath together. Ang bango kasi, ang sarap. Ang perfect para saating dalawa. Buti na lang talaga niregaluhan mo pa ako ulit nung birthday ko." Sagot ko naman sa kanya.

Pagkatapos ng ginagawa niya, inilapag niya na ang scrubbing cloth na regalo niya rin saakin.

Sumandal ako sa kaniya at ipinatong ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.

This is so perfect.

Bathtub filled with warm water and bubbles with your favorite bath formula, relaxing ambiance because you can only hear the sweet music playing on your phone and ofcourse, the love of my life behind me, I don't want this time to end.

"Ang sarap ng ganito, mahal. Ayoko na 'tong matapos." He said as he gently comb my hair using his fingers.

I told you, we're destined.

"Me too, love." Hinalikan niya ang noo ko.

The feelings. It never changed. It's always like the first time.

Daniel gives me this different and intimate love than other people can't give me. Love that you can never forget, and you would not like to forget. Love that you would not like to stop. Love that can make you grow. Love that can teach you to love back, to forgive and to give more than you should recieve. Different love that taught me to live my life everyday. Love is Daniel John.

"Tahimik ka na, bal. Iniisip mo nanaman ako." Sabi niya habang pinaglalaruan ang bubbles sa tabi namin.

"Paano mo nalaman?" I asked him, playfully.

Lalo pa akong sumandal sakanya. Hinawakan niya ang tyan ko, at ipinatong ko naman ang kamay ko sa kamay niya.

"Bal, kasya pa ba sa'yo yung mga dress na niregalo ko?" Him, opening up random topic.

"Yung iba hindi na, but meron pang ibang kasya." Sagot ko sa kaniya.

I closed my eyes for awhile. I want to feel the bubbles coating our bare bodies, I want to feel his touch. His love, his care, our intimacy.

"Eh yung mga nirequest mo saakin? Ano nga yun bal?" I was in the middle of relaxation when Daniel spoke.

"DIY collection. Scrapbook materials. Mauubos na rin yun bal," I answered. Tuwing buntis kasi ako, I always enjoy doing DIY decorations or things na napapanood sa youtube. Simula ng nag workshop ako because of Got To Believe dati, nahilig na ako sa arts. I always decorate our room, our organizer, even our phone cases. And ofcourse sa room ni Sky. "..... Bal, can we just sleep for awhile? Super need ko ng body and mind relaxation. And I bet, you too."

"Naistorbo ba kita bal?" Tinanong niya ako.

"Yes, bally. I want to sleep eh." I answered. There's no point of lying to your husband. Kilala naman ako ni DJ, I know he can understand me. And ako rin, naiintindihan ko rin naman siya. And we're trying to keep that on mind whenever we're having arguements.

"Sorry," He said at tsaka niya hinalikan ng marami yung ulo ko. "... Gusto lang naman kita maka usap eh." Sabi niya pa habang hinihimas naman ang tyan ko, ang baby namin.
