Mr. Casanova meets Ms. Bitter

EPILOGUE

I shook my head, "Nah, I'm just reminiscing about the past. You know, everything that happened in our lives and the challenges we overcame. It's just heartwarming that we're together now."

I felt Blue take a deep breath, "Yeah," he said while still hugging me from behind.

I untangled myself from his hug and faced him, "You know, I'm happy that I'm with you now. I don't know how to thank the Lord for what He did for me - for us. Blue, I love you so much. And I can't bear to lose you again."

Blue sighed, "Hey, why are you crying? Shhh! Stop crying. It's already in the past. Stop thinking about the bad things; just reminisce about the time when we were madly in love. Okay? You're being emotional again. Come here."

He hugged me tightly, and I winced as I teased him, "Love, I'm just kidding." But Blue didn't seem to mind, continuing to comfort me.

Later that night, as we shared a moment on our terrace, Blue surprised me with his humor. I couldn't help but notice how handsome he was, and his laughter echoed. "What's so funny about what I said?" I asked.

To my surprise, he leaned in and whispered, "While you're saying those words, you're so cute, and I can't help..." he leaned even closer, his lips almost touching mine, "not to kiss you."

He kissed me, and I responded playfully, not realizing that the playful moment would escalate into a more intimate setting. I stopped him, "Blue, wait," I said.

"Love, naman e. What's wrong?" he asked, looking a bit disappointed.

I patted his arm, "You might have forgotten, but you have a meeting at 7 pm," I reminded him.

He raised an eyebrow, still looking at me, "So what?"

I lightly slapped his arm, "Anong 'so what'? Those are your clients; you might be late."

Without hesitation, he kissed me again, saying, "Then, we'll do this quickly, love."

***

Several hours later, I found myself waking up and feeling nauseous. I checked the clock - it was 10 pm, and Blue wasn't home yet. I rushed to the bathroom, and that's when it hit me. I hadn't had my period for three weeks, and my recent mood swings and cravings suddenly made sense.

It's been a year na din kasi kaming magkasama ni Blue pero hin ndi pa rin nakakabuo, baka ito na 'yon. Sanaaaaaaa!

I grabbed a pregnancy test, and my suspicions were confirmed - two red lines. I am pregnant. Overwhelmed with emotions, I couldn't wait to share the news with Blue.

"Love? You still awake? Love, I'm home," I heard Blue's voice from downstairs.

Excitement surged through me as I ran downstairs and hugged him, tears streaming down my face. "Blueeeee!" I couldn't contain my joy.

He turned to me in surprise, "Oh? Why are you crying again, huh? Did something happen to you? Sorry, I just got home, and there's-"

I cut him off, "Blue, I'm pregnant."

He suddenly tightened his embrace on me, staring at me intensely, trying to read my eyes to confirm if he heard correctly.

"Wait, what did you say? Y-you-you're w-what?" he stammered.

I smiled at him and showed him the pregnancy test result. Blue's hands trembled as he held the PT in my hands, examining it closely. His gaze kept shifting between the PT and me.

"Oh, God! Is this really true?" he asked again.

I chuckled while nodding. He sat down, propping his elbows on his knees, and I was surprised to see his shoulders shaking.

I sat beside him, "You're going to be a dad, Blue."

His shoulders shook even more. I took his hands, which were covering his face, and that's when I saw tears filling his eyes.

"Fvck! I've been praying for this, Scarlet. And, shit! It's coming true. I'm going to be a dad soon. I love you!" he said, immediately embracing me tightly.

I couldn't help but shed tears as he hugged me, and I gently stroked his back.

"We're going to be a family, complete, kasama ang magiging anak natin," I whispered.

He loosened the hug, "I'm so lucky that I met a bitter like you," and he smiled. Damn! Ang gwapo talaga ng asawa ko! I can't get tired of looking at him. <3

"Sira!" tumawa siya pero bigla din naman sumeryoso.

"I love you, Mrs. Macwill," he said.

I cupped his face, "I love you, too, Mr. Macwill."

He smiled and looked at my stomach. I didn't expect what he did next. He kissed my tummy and whispered, "Can't wait to see you, baby. I love you."

I smiled at his words as he kissed my tummy again, then gave me a smack on my lips, and, of course, his favorite move - a kiss on my forehead.

He looked at me with those black eyes that made me fall in love with him even more.

And I can't forget this line coming from him while looking directly into my eyes,

"Every love story is beautiful, but OURS is my favorite."

THE END.♡
