The planned-week of our stay in beautiful city of Amsterdam was extended because Zacchary Harrison is the most spontaneous guy in the world out of sudden. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bukas o sa susunod na araw, nasa America na kami. Note the sarcasm please.

"Galit ka ba? Ayaw mo bang magstay pa tayo ng isang week?" Tanong niya habang nasa cab kami.

"Babe, alam mo naman, Mirana's wedding is just a few weeks away. I want to help preparing for her big day."

"Everything's set already, Chan. Saka nagpaalam naman akong nakawin ka muna sa kahit na sino e. Kahit for three days lang."

"Wait? Kaya ba hindi natin kasama ang mga bata?"

"I just wanted to give this gift to you, love. Trust me, I will not make you regret for choosing me today over our kids."

"I did not choose you over them. I am choosing them all the time. I am just sure that they're okay with Alice and mama Veronica that's why I'm with you." Pagja-justify ko ng sinabi niya.

"Kaya gusto kitang masolo e. Laging ang sungit mo sa'kin. Naiisip ko tuloy kung dahil ba 'yan sa attorney mo."

"Eww. Shut up, Zacc!"

He laughed so boisterously at that because the jerk really met Atty. Galvez in person without my knowledge. That was three days ago. Tumawag si Attorney sa'kin na nagkita daw sila ng asawa ko at nagpasalamat lang tapos umuwi na din daw. He called dahil natutuwa daw siya sa asawa kong napaka-thoughtful. Thoughtful? Baka na-abugbugberna na siya ni Zacchary kung magkasing edad lang sila.

Nasa mga anak namin talaga ang isip ko habang bumibiyahe kami. Not that I don't want to be alone with my husband, I just really miss the kids all the time. Finally, we arrived at the first destination where we rent a bike to see the city.

"Here my love." He said as he handed me a paper inside a small envelop with a cute ribbon around it.

"What's this, Zacchary?"

"I don't know. Why won't we open it so we'll both know?"

Hmm. Typical Zacchary Harrison. I opened the envelop lazily but when I checked what it was, my heart melted in so much joy. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Why did I forget that I am in Amsterdam!?

"Babe? Oh my gosh, Zacc! You really know how to melt my heart." I exclaimed.

"Just tell me you love me and I'll be the happiest." Wika niyang nagpaluha sa'kin.

"Alam mo namang mahal kita. Kahit walang Amsterdam, Zacchary, mahal na mahal kita."

"Ito naman. You don't have to cry." Awat niya at mabilis na pinunasan ang luha ko. "Alam mo namang ayaw kitang umiiyak."

"Ikaw kasi e. Palagi kang ganyan, nakakainis."

"Ano'ng ganyan 'yan, ha? Gwapo? Perpekto? Ano'ng ibig sabihin ng ganyan?"

"Gago—I mean, oo gwapo. Pinakagwapo."

"Good. Mas mabuti 'yong malinaw at mas mabuting ganyan ka, honest lagi."

Natawa nalang talaga ako. Napakahambog ng asawa ko porket totoong nag-eexist ang kagwapuhan niya. Ganito na talaga 'to e kahit no'ng unang araw na nakilala ko. Tiningnan ko ang hawak kong IamAmsterdam card. It gives the card holder the access to all tourist destinations around the city.

"Mahal, naghihintay na ng Amsterdam sa maganda mong asawa. Tara na." I joke at him.

"Tama ang Amsterdam, maganda ka nga mahal. Pinakamaganda." Bola niya. Hinalikan niya ako bago kami nagsibalikan sa bike namin.
