Time flies so fast. Sa bilis nang takbo hindi mo na malalayan ang layo ng mga narating mo. I somehow feel proud of myself and for Bryce being here, still sticking to each other. A lot of things changed but our love remains.

We've been through a rough road many times but those were just a phase of test on how will we conquer circumstances and fight for our love. Uncertainties might spin round us, pilit man kaming nilalayo ng nakaraan mas lalo lang kaming tumitibay sa mga nagdaang taon.

"She's really an angel, Cha," I slightly tilted my head to face him.

He's looking at Bernisse Urielle, our daughter. She's playing with her Nanny. Tila alam niyang pinag-uusapan namin siya dahil bumaling ito sa amin. She then smiled and started chuckling as she run toward us with her barbie is on her cute hands.

She directly sat on Bryce's lap and burried her irresistible beauty to his Daddy's chest.

"Are you happy, love?" Bryce asked her as he put Bernisse's hair string at the back of her ear.

"Little girl, Daddy's asking you," I said after a long while that she didn't response.

She then looked at me with her eyes literally went bigger. "Oh, sorry, Mommy! I thought you were the one he was asking," she looked at me apologetically. 

"Why you thought that, huh?"

"Because, that is what your both endearment, Daddy! I always hear you calling Mommy love that's why I thought so!" she explained.

A smile crept on my face and Bryce chuckled. She is really an observant child. At sa kung papaano siya magsalita ay siguradong sigurado ito! On her age, she is advanced compare to other children.

Kuhang kuha niya ang mukha ko ngunit ang pag-uugali nito ay hindi maikakailang nagmana sa ama. Matalino at makulit pero minsan hindi na ako nag-aalala kung nagiging masungit na lang ito bigla. Kanino pa nga ba nagmana?

"Where do you want us to go this summer, love?"

Pinulupot niya ang mga bisig sa aking bewang. Kakaligo niya lang at agad nanuot sa ilong ko ang showel gel na ginamit.

"Sandali, lumayo ka," I pushed him a bit at umupo sa ibabaw ng kama.

Nangunot ang noo niyang tinitigan ako. "Ano? Bakit? Ayaw mo na sa akin?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong at dinala ang nakakuyom na mga palad sa dibdib nito at umaaktong nasasaktan.

"Ano sabon mo?"

Unti-unting sumilay ang nakakalokong ngiti sa mga labi niya.

"Bakit mabango ba?"

"Oo," tumango ako. "Parang zonrox," dagdag ko pa at bumalik sa pagkakahiga.

Hindi siya sumagot at naramdaman kong umalis ito sa tabi ko. I saw her shadow entering our walk-in closet. He stayed inside not so long and when he went out, iba na ang suot niya.

Kung kanina at naka-pair pajama ito, ngayon ay naka-boxer at sando na lang ang kanyang saplot sa katawan.

I tried my best to stifle my laugh. Oh my God! He showered perfume all over his body!

"Jusko naman, Bryce! Ano ba naman 'yan? Bakit ka nagpabango? Ano mag mamall ka sa panaginip mo?"

He stood up in front. His biting his lips, anak ng pating naman, oh!

"Are you trying to seduce me tonight, Bryce?" Most probably my brows furrowed as I asked him that.

Laglag ang balikat, umupo ito sa tabi ko. Nanatili akong nakatagilid sa pagkakahiga habang pinapanuod siyang problemado ang mukha sa tabi.
