"Babe where are you? I'm already here outside your lawfirm."
Natawa ako nang marinig ang boses ni Kian na halatang naiinip na. Napag kasunduan kasi naming dumalaw sa mansion nila kaya't sinusundo na niya ako. Napatingin ako sa relo at nakitang alas-singko na ng hapon. Itinabi ko na ang mga papeles sa drawer at kinuha na ang bag ko saka sinarado ang office ko.
Nakita kong iilan na rin ang nasa loob, siguro ay nag si uwian na o kaya naman ay may mga lakad.
"Going home?" nahinto ako sa pag lalakad nang marinig ang boses ni Att. Eren.
Nginitian ko ito saka tumango. "Yup, my husband is waiting outside."
Kita kong tila nag iba ang ekspresyon nito pero ngumiti pa rin sakin. "Take care then..."
Tumango lamang ako rito saka lumabas na ng lawfirm. Agad kong natanaw si Kian na nakasandal sa kotse niya habang naka pamulsa. Napangiti na lang ako, napaka gwapo pa rin niya.
Lumapit na ako rito. Nang makita ako ay nag liwanag ang mukha niya saka hinawakan ang kamay ko at pinag buksan ang ako ng pinto ng kotse. Umikot siya saka sumakay na rin sa driver seat.
"Nainip ka ba?" tanong ko sa kanya.
Lumingon ito sa akin sa umiling. "No..."
Natawa na lang ako. Alam ko namang nainip siya pero dinedeny pa.
"Anyway, Kate will be delighted to see you again." sambit niya habang seryosong nag mamaneho.
"Ako din, na miss ko din siya." sagot ko.
It's been two months since we got married. Hindi kami naka dalaw mula nung kasal sa mansion nila kasi laging busy ang schedules namin.
Anyway, I'm excited to see Kate. I know that she's a lady now. I'm sure she's more matured than the last time I talked to her on the mansion.
"Andun rin ba sina Kurt?" I asked. Gusto ko rin kasi ulit makita ang anak nilang si Hazen. He's so cute!
"Yes..." mahinang sagot niya.
"I'm just asking because I wanted to see Hazen." tawang sambit ko. Alam kong nag seselos na agad ito kasi si Kurt ang binaggit ko.
"Ohh..." sambit niya saka lumingon sa akin ng may hindi maipaliwanag na ekspresyon.
"Why?" tanong ko.
He just smiled at me at muling tumingin sa daan. Napa kunot na lang ang noo ko.
Makalipas ang isang oras ay nakarating na kami sa mansion. Nakita ko na halos wala itong pinagbago. Napangiti na lang ako, the first place where I saw him.
Nag flashback lahat ng memories namin mag kasama sa utak ko.
Naramdaman ko ang pag hawak niya sa kamay ko kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. He's smiling at me...
"Kuya Michael!" nabaling ang atensiyon namin nang tawagin ako ng isang pamilyar na boses. Nakita ko si Kate na dali-daling bumababa sa hagdan. Nang makalapit ay agad itong yumakap sakin.
"I missed you! We didn't get to talk on your wedding." Sambit niya habang nakayakap pa rin.
Napa hiwalay lang ito nang may isang kamay na humila sa kanya palayo sakin. "Kate, you're a lady now."
Boses iyon ni Kurt. Napanguso naman si Kate saka humawak sa braso ko.
"And so? I just missed Kuya Michael." saad niya.
Mag sasalita na sana ako nang ako naman ang hilain ni Kian palayo kay Kate. Natawa na lamang ako.
"Kayo naman..." bumaling ako kay Kate saka ginulo ang buhok niya. Seeing her now, she have changed a lot, she's now a full grown lady like my sister Mia.
"I missed you too Kate." saad ko na lang.
Narinig ko ang pag taltak ni Kian sa likod ko ng yakapin ko si Kate. Si Kurt naman ay napa iling na lang dahil dinalaan siya ni Kate.
"You two are already here na pala." kumalas na ako sa pag kakayakap nang marinig ang boses ni Hazel. Akay-akay niya si Hazen.
Nginitian ko si Hazel at agad naman akong lumapit sa kanila at binuhat ang bata. "Hi Hazen..." bati ko rito.
Tinitigan ako ng bata na parang kinikilala ako, maya-maya ay ngumiti ito sakin habang labas ang dimple. Tuwa kong pinisil ang pisngi nito.
"You like kids Michael?" tanong ni Hazel.
"Medyo lang..." sagot ko at ibinaba si Hazen na agad namang nilaro ni Kate.
Napa lingon ako kay Kian na nakatingin lang sa akin kaya bumalik na ako sa tabi nito.
"Anyway, mag pahinga muna kayong dalawa sa kwarto." sambit ni Kurt.
"Yes, we know na pagod pa kayo sa trabaho. We're just going to call you when dinner's ready." saad naman ni Hazel.
Tumango naman si Kian at hinawakan na ang kamay ko saka kami umakyat sa hagdan papunta sa kwarto niya. For me, it felt nostalgic.
Huminto kaming dalawa sa isang pamilyar na pinto. Ganoon na lamang ang kalakas ang tibok ng puso ko nang makapasok kami. Bumungad sa akin ang isang pamilyar na silid.
"Nothing changed..." lumabas sa bibig ko.
I can feel Kian held my hand tightly as he said. "Of course, I wanted it to stay as it was..."
Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya. Hinila niya ako pahiga sa kama saka ako niyakap.
"I requested them not to change anything in this room and just clean it every day." sambit ni Kian.
Napa tango naman ako. Halata namang alagang alaga ito sa linis.
"May damit ka pa dito diba? Let's change, it's kinda uncomfortable na mahiga ng ganito ang suot." saad ko at bumangon. Naka suot pa rin kasi ng suit ganun dun siya.
Tumango naman siya saka nag lakad papunta sa walk in closet niya. Maya-maya ay bumalik siya dala dala ang dalawang pares ng damit. Kinuha ko na ito at pumasok sa banyo.
Nang matapos ay tumingin ako sa salamin. Ang binigay na damit sa akin ni Kian ay isang brown na maong shorts na above the knee at isang tshirt na white. I look like a teen ager in this outfit.
Pag labas ko ay nakita kong nakabihis na rin siya. Ang suot naman niya ay shorts din na katulad ng sa akin pero black ang kulay saka long sleeves na gray.
"We look younger..." tawang sambit ko.
"Yep, it doesn't look that we're in thirties..."
Natawa na lang ako at bumalik na kami sa pag kakahiga. Muli niya akong niyakap at binaon ang ulo niya sa leeg ko. I can feel his breath...
"By the way I just remembered...who was the girl na kasama nila Keith at Axcel in our wedding?"tanong ni Kian.
"Ah...that was Irish...they adopted her in Canada when she was four." sagot ko.
"Do you also want to have a child?"
Natigilan ako ng marinig ang tanong niya saka biglang napa isip. Actually, I also want to...but I don't know if Kian wants also...
"Do you?" balik na tanong ko sa kanya.
"If you want to...we can adopt one." sagot niya. I just smiled at him saka hindi nag salita.
Of course he will say that. May part naman sakin na ayos lang na wala kaming anak...but still something felt missing. I'm happy that I'm with Kian after so many years and he's giving me all the love he hasn't been able to give. Maybe I just envies Hazel and Kurt, also Keith and Axcel for having a child in their home calling them daddies and mom.
"Michael?" Kian softly called me. Umiba ako ng pwesto at humarap sa kanya.
"I love you..." sambit niya saka ako hinalikan sa labi.
I smiled at him as I say, "I love you too..."
He gently carres my face. "do you want to adopt?"
"I want to have a child... should we?"
He smiled at me warmly. "We will."
After a while, Kate came into our room telling us na it's time for dinner.
When we got to the dining room, mom and dad ni Kian ang una kong nakita. It still feels surreal na this time, I'm not their hardener anymore but the the husband of their child.
His mom welcome me with a hug. It warms my heart to be finally accepted by his family, Hans, Kian's father game me a hug too. I was about to tear up but I held it an hug them back.
I saw Kian, and his siblings smiling at me so I smiled at them back. So this is what it feels to be accepted...
"Let's eat..."
We sat and started our dinner.
"So Michael...how have you been doing at your firm?" Hans asked.
I looked at him. "I'm doing fine sir, thanks to you..."
"Sir? You're part of the family now" he said and paused a bit. "call me dad..." i was taken back with the remarks. I don't know what to say so I looked at Kian who just smiled at me and nodded.
"Yes...dad." i said shyly.
I heard Kate's giggle. "You're officially my Kuya now, Kuya Michael!"
"I hope you call me mom too..." Kian's mom stated.
I smiled at her and nodded.
"By the way, I heard Attorney Eren is working with you in one of your case..." Hans opened up.
I can feel na natigilan si Kian. I frowned a bit bago lumingon kay Hans.
"Yes po, I didn't know na you know each other."
"Well, his dad and me are good business partner. I also watched that kid grew up."
Napatango naman ako. "He's actually one of the best lawyer in our firm."
"That's expected, he's very smart. I heard he's still single and his father has been bugging me to introduce his son to some of my business partner's daughter..." medyo natatawang sambit ng dad ni Hans.
Looks like he's very fond of Att. Santiago.
After dinner, Allen and I went back to his room. He's still very quiet which I don't know why.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked Kian, going at him for a back hug.
"Nothing...seems like this Att. whatever is a threat." He said grumpyly.
I chuckled. "What are you saying." I said and tap his nose. Humarap siya sakin at niyakap ako sa bewang.
"My dad really liked him too." He pouted.
"You're jealous huh" I teased.
He frowned his forehead more. "I am"
"Don't be..." As I tiptoe to kissed him on his lips.
I can feel him smiling as he slowly moves his lips longing the kiss, until he open his mouth and used his tongue to deepen the kiss. I felt him walking not breaking the kiss, until I felt my back slowly touching the bed.
Inilayo niya ng konti ang mukha niya para kumuha ng hangin at muling inilapat ang mga labi niya sakin. I can feel his hand moving inside my shirt slowly removing it.
The next thing I knew, I'm already topless. I watched him sexily take off his shirt.
"I love you..." He whispered in my ear bringing some sensation to my body.
"I love you too..." as I moaned when he licked the back of my ear down to my neck.
"Fuck... you're so sexy babe."he mumbled as he put marks on my body.
The night become long for the two of us, as we shared kisses and made love all night...

"Are you guys leaving na agad?" Kate pouted.
I tapped her head. "We need to e, we still have somewhere to go..."
She sighed. "fine, but come visit us more often."
"Sure." I smiled at her.
I kissed Hans cheeks one last time before bidding my goodbye.
"Are we really going to the orphanage?" I asked, slightly excited.
"Yes babe..."
Actually last time, we kinda asked the opinion of his parents and Kurt, if it's really okay for us to adopt, because looking back to the nature of our work. We're both busy... but his mother told us to just try and go to the orphanage to see what we really want.
"Michael...I love you."
I came back to my senses when Kian suddenly stated that. I frowned a bit but I smiled at him.
"I love you too..."
