Hello,
Sorry for the delay. I've been very busy with work and other things.
I am thinking to extend this story a bit. I want to give Ate Aiks and Jill part on this story.
Anyway, enjoy this chapter! 🙃
Happy Monday! ❤️
CARMELO'S POV
I couldn't imagine a best way to celebrate our wedding anniversary - watching the sunset with Trish by the beach. Isa sa mga paborito naming gawin.
Akala ko ay hindi na kami matutuloy dahil halos isang linggo siyang hindi maayos ang pakiramdam. She's feeling a lot better now. Way BETTER.
I am hugging Trish from the back. This is the perfect moment to give her my anniversary gift.
I handed her a box wrapped in a navy blue wrapper with a white ribbon on it.
"Happy Anniversary, Love. Life with you is just amazing. I wouldn't have had it in any other way. I love you so much."
"I didn't get you anything, Love. Akala ko kasi....
Bakas ang lungkot at pagkadismaya sa kaniyang mukha.
" Akala ko kasi buntis ako and that is the perfect gift I can give you on our anniversary."
Mas hinigpitan ko pa ang yakap sakaniya.
"I'm sorry Love that I have disappointed you."
"Love, how many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to say sorry? You have not disappointed me, okay?"
Ramdam ko ang lalim ng kanyang paghinga.
"It's just frustrating me, Love. Dati na hindi tayo nagplano Carys came. Ngayon naman na nakaplano lahat hindi naman ako mabuntis."
"Don't stress yourself about it, hmm? Thankful ako kung pagkakalooban pa tayo ng isa pa. Kung hindi naman thankful pa rin ako kasi may Carys tayo. So, let's just enjoy this day."
It's just us for the first time since we had Carys. Lagi namin sinasabi na mag ttravel kami without her pero hindi naman namin kayang mahiwalay sakanya ng matagal. But for this trip mas pinili niyang mag-stay kina Mama. Not because she is still insist to have a baby brother. Kinausap ko na siya tungkol doon since nappressure ang Mommy niya. Hindi siya sumama mainly because Jill and Ty are back in town for their wedding prep. Carys will move mountains makasama lang sila.
Yes, I admit I want another baby. But reassuring Trish is my top priority now. Katulad ng paulit ulit kong sinasabi okay lang na walang pangalawa. Ayaw ko siyang bigyan ng dahilan para matakot muli. I want her to feel that she and Carys are more than enough for me.
"Love, ano 'to?" She was about to open it and I stopped her.
"Love, okay lang ba na bukas mo na lang buksan? Gusto ko sana iopen mo yan kasama si Carys, but mas pinili niya si Ninang Jill - so bukas na lang?"
Hindi naman na rin siya tumutol. Inside the box is a key. A key to our new house. The house she's been eyeing to get since nagkahiwalay kami. I want to get it for her - for us.
We are back in the Cabin now.
She was tracing an invisible pattern over my chest when she look up at me. "Love, where do you think we'll be 10 or 15 years from now?"
