Last Chapter: Family
YAZER ELDRICH MONTANO
I slowly opened my eyes because I felt thirsty. Babangon na sana ako sa higaan nang mapatingin ako sa katabi. Lying beside me is a beautiful lady. My wife.
Hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti habang pinagmamasdan siyang payapang natutulog.
It's a beautiful sight to see every morning God has given me.
Pumikit ako at kinausap siya. "Lord, thank you for giving her to me."
Nang imulat ko ang mga mata ay muli akong napangiti kaya hindi ko naiwasang halikan siya kahit tulog.
"I love you," I whispered.
Dahan-dahan siyang gumalaw hanggang magmulat ang kaniyang mga mata.
"Hmm..." She yawned. "You're early."
Damn. Her bedroom voice can make great music aside from her angelic laugh.
"Good morning, hon." I kissed her lips again and that awaken her.
"Hindi pa 'ko nag-to-toothbrush!" I laughed at her, namumula na ang mukha nito. She's cute.
"I don't care. Come here." Umatras ito palayo sa akin.
"Isa! Tatadyakan kita," banta niya pa.
"Dalawa," pang-aasar ko naman dito. I love teasing her. Nagiging siopao kasi siya bigla kapag naiinis. Nagiging bilog 'yung pisngi.
She's starting to get pissed.
"Get away from me, Montano."
"Why, Mrs. Montano?"
"Uupakan talaga kita, Eldrich."
"Pupugpugin kita ng halik, Solace."
I think I'm crazy 'cause I start seeing smoke coming from her nose and ears. Damn. I felt goosebumps as I looked at her. I gulped and looked away. Galit na siya.
"Sabi ko nga, e. Tara na, sabay tayo mag-toothbrush." Nauna na akong tumayo sa kaniya. One thing I've learned mula nang ikasal ako sa kaniya ay nakakatakot siyang magalit. Totoo pala talaga na kung sino pa ang pinakamabait, sila pa 'yung pinakamabagsik magalit.
I prepared our toothbrush and after a few minutes, pumasok na rin siya ng banyo.
Sabay kami nag-toothbrush, with a little 'harutan,' as she calls it. Bumaba na kami sa kusina at dalawa kaming magluluto ng almusal.
It's been 2 years since we got married. At napagkasunduan namin na walang kukuning taga-linis ng bahay, taga-luto, taga-laba o kahit anong taga-gawa ng household chores.
She wants us to be independent, especially the kids so they'll get used to it while growing up. And I agreed. More quality time for me.
Manang Klarisa still visits us from time to time. I referred Kian, my former manager, to Jax, and he got a new job there in his company. Mang Amer, however, still works as our kid's school service. While we don't hire anyone anymore to clean our house. We create a day that we call, "General cleaning day," every Saturday and our, "Family Day," every Sunday. Those two days are dedicated to our family.
Nakahanda na ang mga pagkain at bago pumatak ang ala-siete ay nakita na naming pababa ang tatlong bata.
"Good morning, Dad, Ma," Khaki greeted and kissed our cheeks before she took her seat.
"Good morning, Ki!"
"Morning, Dad, Ma," Kaimeer did the same and sit beside her twin sister. My eldest son looks like he didn't get enough sleep.
