The wedding ceremony was brief.

They just went ahead with their vows, and they kissed. In fairness, napakaganda ng bride. Her aura screams wealth and old money. Daxiel Gustav Jr. was right, there were only a few people invited, just relatives and some friends.

Hindi ako gaanong naka-relate, lagi lang akong nakasunod kay Daxiel saan man siya pumunta. Kulang na lang pati sa banyo, sumama ako sa kanya.

I behaved the way I promised him. I never tried to do anything stupid.

I was also invited in some parties before together with my husband, he also threw parties to celebrate the company's successes, I didn't really enjoy them much. People came off mean and annoying even if I tried to be friendly and all smiles.

They didn't seem to like being treated with such enthusiasm for some reason. Mas gusto nilang magmaldita at paratangan ako ng gold-digging scheme ko. I wasn't easily offended by that.

So, what?

After the wedding, they had a reception, then everyone travelled back to the city. Nanatili lang kami dahil pinakiusapan ko si Daxiel Gustav Jr. Sayang naman ang dagat, andito na lang din naman kami.

Mag-isa akong nagtampisaw sa dalampasigan, tumakbo ako at nakipaglaro sa mga alon. The sun was already setting. Daxiel was sleeping in our suite with Gustav the Third. Hindi ko na siya ginising, mukhang kailangan niya iyong tulog.

Handa na akong mag-swimming, pero agad na bumalik sa aking alaala na muntikan na akong malunod noong nakaraan. Ipinagpaliban ko muna iyon, kukulitin ko na lang si Daxiel mamaya para sa night swimming.

I gathered some firewood and stuck it with the burnt wood to create my own bonfire later.

Abala ako sa paghahakot ng shells nang may dumila sa aking binti. Agad kong binitiwan ang bitbit kong seashells upang buhatin ang baby namin ni Daxiel. I was laughing when it started licking my face.

"Good boy!"

I turned around to see Daxiel Gustav Jr. walking toward our direction. Nakapamulsa siyang naglakad patungo sa amin, nakasuot siya ng fitted shirt na talaga namang hinuhulma ang maskulado niyang katawan.

Naupo siya malapit sa mga kahoy na pinulot ko upang gawing bonfire mamaya. Tumakbo ako papalapit sa kanya karga si baby Gustav the Third. Tumabi ako sa kanya.

"How's your sleep?" I asked him.

Sumulyap ako sa kanya, mukha siyang aburido.

"Why aren't you in the room?" baritono niyang tanong.

Magkasalubong ang kanyang kilay. Humarap ako sa kanya, itinaas ko ang aking kamay upang paghiwalayin ang magkasalubong na kilay niya. Naunang gumana ang aking kamay kaysa sa isip ko.

Palagi na lang siyang nakasimangot. "Anong gagawin ko naman sa suite, inaakit ako ng dagat? Anong gusto mong gawin ko, panoorin kitang matulog? Sana nag-live stream ka,"

Mapang-akit din naman siya... pero saka na, mas priority ko iyong dagat.

Ngumiti ako. "Tama lang ang dating mo, ikaw ang magiging life guard ko. Picture-an mo na rin ako, Daxiel, please..."

"No. You don't need my service, you're still posting those heavily edited pictures instead of the ones I took," saad niya.

It was true. Napakamot naman ako sa ulo. He's always viewing my instagram stories. Siya lang ang authentic viewer ko kaya hindi ko siya nire-remove sa followers ko. Right now, I'm obsessed posting our furbaby with those cute filters.
