It's You

Chapter 14

"Ofcourse, a joyous feeling Babe. Their voices were like music to my ears." I said and smiled at him.

"You know what Babe, I treat them as my own kids. Nakita ko silang lumaki, kaya I let them call me Daddy." He said and I saw how his eyes shine.

Who would have thought that behind his masculinity lies a soft-hearted man? If he can love these angels so much, what more to his own child? That soft side of you made admire you the most. Damn. I am falling deeply in love with you, Thirdy.

"Daddy, Daddy." We broke our eye contact and looked for the small voices, it was Miggy and a baby girl.

"Oh hello twins, Miggy and Mia." Thirdy greeted them. Binuhat nya ang dalawang bata at iniupo sa kandungan nya.

"Daddy Thirdy, bakit ang tagal nyo na pong hindi nakadalaw sa amin?" Mia asked him, he laughed first before answering the question.

"Sorry Mia, naging busy kasi ako sa Baby ko eh." He looked at me then winked. Pacute talaga to.

"Mommy Bea, bakit ngayon lang po namin kayo nakita?" Miggy asked with his sad voice and bowed his head.

"Miggy." I held his chin to look at me. "I am sorry ngayon lang ako nakabisita sa inyo. But promise, magiging madalas na ang pagdalaw namin sa inyo."

"Promise yan Mommy Bea ah." They said in unison and I just nodded as a response.

Kinuha ko si Miggy at kinalong. "Babe." Napalingon naman ako kay Thirdy. "Thank you. It means so much to me. Pinasaya mo ako." He said and kissed my temple.

"Yieee, ang sweet ng Mommy at Daddy." The kids teased us.

"Twins, bagay ba kami ng Mommy Bea nyo?"

The kids were giggling and answered in unison. "Yes Daddy, bagay na bagay." Natawa naman ako sakanila.

"Babe, they are so cute noh? I want to spend more time with them." I said with smile on my face.

He leaned to my side and whispered on my ear, "Gawa na lang tayo ng sa atin Baby."

I automatically hit his arm. "Babe, marinig ka ng mga bata." I rolled my eyes while laughing.

Thirdy and I spent our afternoon playing with the kids. They were just singing and dancing the whole time and actively participating the games. It was indeed a bliss to be surrounded by these little angels. Seeing their smiles and hearing those little giggles made my heart so full. There was so much joy and happiness around these kiddos.

It was 7 in the evening when we arrived at my unit. I took the shower first and do my evening rituals afterwards.

While waiting for Thirdy, I decided to go to the balcony to breathe some fresh air and admire the city lights. The ambience made me recall my life before without him.

I was happy back then. I have my family with me, bestfriend and friends whom were always there for me. Sabi ko nga, I don't need special someone since I have them naman. I usually go on dates and entertain suitors, but then, no one ever captured my heart.

I even doubted myself, na baka iba yung preference ko. That was one of the reasons why I went to Coron for soul searching. I thought I was inlove with my bestfriend Jho but I was wrong, my love for her was plainly a sister love.

Because the very moment my eyes landed on Thirdy's, I already felt something strange inside me. It seems like there were butterflies in my stomach which I never felt to anyone else. I guess, they called it, love at first sight. And the rest is history. I was just so lucky that he feels the same why.

I was taken aback from reality when I felt his arms wrapping around my body, hugging me from behind. I slowly caressed his hands on my tummy and leaned my head on his chest. He buried his face on my shoulder, stealthily sniffing my scent. Hearing his heartbeat and his warm hug made me feel so calm and safe. Moments like this will always be my favorite.

"Babe." He whispered while planting soft kisses on my neck, I hummed as a response. "I love you." I secretly smiled as I heard those three words. He stopped on what he was doing when I didn't respond to him. He turned me around and we were facing each other.

"Babe, hindi mo na ba ako love." He said while looking intently to my eyes, worry evident on his face. I shook my head and bite my lower lip to supress my smile. "Bakit walang sagot?"

I cupped his cheeks and smiled sweetly. "Babe, I am just enjoying our moment. It's just that, I am overwhelmed hearing your heartbeat and your words at the same time. That made me so kilig, Babe." I pulled his face and our noses were lightly touching. "I love you, Thirdy. I love you so so much." I emphasized each words and I saw his wide smile.

"I am so lucky to have you Babe. Mahal kita, Beatriz." If those three words made me kilig, lalo na pala if you're hearing it in our own language, Mahal kita.
