Anita Pov...
Lauren's offer is not bad at all, why don't I try it? Maybe it's not hard to get along with her boss. I'll tell grandma that I accepted her offer and am ready to start. This probably be the beginning of life aligned for us. I need to send a message to Lauren. She'll be happy to know I will work with her company."Lau, I will take that opportunity you offered me. I already talked to grandma and we decided to find a babysitter for Alex while I'm at work." I texted her."YESSS!… Thank you so much, cousin. I love you 3000. You save me, we don't want to lose the opportunity given to Jacob. We will wait until his promotion, then will be back here for good. That's their offer, good for Jacob but not so much for me." She replied ecstatic and bit sad needing to leave her job."Still a clown Lau. I love you too, so I will help you, and most of all I love Alex so much, I will start saving again for us." I replied with a laughing emoticon. I'm relieved that I'll not be a burden to my grandmother."I miss this Annie! Your tough side! My tough cousin of mine who is always has a strong fighting spirit. I never thought, only Alex will change you forever. You definitely walk out of your comfort zone!" She teases. The feminine side is my cover."Yes, cousin, I thought I would hate him for coming into my life, but when I saw and hugged him I was thrilled that I didn't want him to be separated from me." I reckoned. Alex changes me which I never thought I could do."Just remember Annie, we're just here for you. Even if, I'm far away, I'll fly just for you. I can be your Batman or Superman. I just hope one day you're going to tell Uncle Jack about Alex not too soon. Don't wait for him to walk and speak because I'm sure you won't like that. Your child is a smart kid and you will not keep him in the dark forever." She reminded me again. I will remind myself every day about that."Thank you for reminding me what I always forget. I'll put that as my top priority, Lau." I skim taking her reminder and advice. I appreciate what she did for us as well.Lauren is right, I have to face dad for my peace of mind and the sooner is better. I must forget my dreaded version. I have to be strong, brave, and combative for Alex. Alex baby, I love you so much. You alone are enough to ponder. You're the source of my strength and happiness."Sweetheart, the granddaughter of one who used to take care of our mango plantation is coming today. She will take care of Alex while you are at work. That girl is kind and caring so you can hope that Alex will not be neglected." Grandma informed me."Yes, grandma. Thank you. Lauren said I'll start my training tomorrow." I replied."Oh, that's great sweetie. I trust you that you can handle that." Grandma said happily. I trust myself too. Two years is enough!"I love you grandma for always being there for me." I hugged her tight. The best grandma. I wouldn't achieve this perfect motherhood without her guidance.I feel the urge to run to my mom and cried on his lap, I miss you so much mommy! I sighed and cried again. My mom is the one I always run into whether I’m ecstatic or solitary. Just a hug and a kiss from her erases everything that bothers me.Mommy, I really miss you. I hope you will not hate me there looking at my mistake. I'm sorry mom. I'm not proud of what I did but I am happy.I caress my son’s face while he is asleep. I'm lucky to have this handsome child in my life. I like his eyes which are strange in color. His eyes are blue with long, thick lashes. His lip was thin and reddish, which he probably got from his father because my lip was a bit fuller.Son, I love you so much, you will always remember that. Hopefully, when you grow up, you won't look for your father because I don't know where to find him. Son, forgive me, only my love and care is the biggest thing I can give you as long as I live. I want you to grow up to be an obedient, kind, and God-fearing man. I am only here to support you on your life's journey. I love you so much, my child. I kiss his cheeks and forehead good night before going to my bed.I sit for a while thinking about what happened to my life and what will happen in the future. This is not the life I dreamed of, but I have to face the twist of it. As long as Alex is safe nothing to worry about.I will work hard and save for us to travel around the world maybe, that's my previous life, wandering. Definitely, the best dream I had for now from having Alex in my life. I still wish I would meet that man again. I don't hate him now. I want to thank him for giving me a precious son. This was the life I was supposed to have with Erik before but fate and cupid are not with us.Before, I cried when I remember that night, but now every time I think of it I had a wide smile plastered on my face. At least I experienced something like that. Maybe that night wasn't a mistake but a heads-up for me.Damn! Why am I feeling like this again? It's a crazy and disturbing thought suddenly vandalizing my innocent mind. Pull yourself together Anita! No time for daydreaming. I mumbled before closing my eyes to sleep. Tomorrow is not an ordinary day to look like a panda. I need to look presentable and perfect for her boss. Who knows what he likes or prefers to be his secretary?Samantha Pov... After 5 Years... Of all the things that happen in our family, we become stronger. We face everything with open hands as we know we are in this together. Just as our beautiful, unforgettable promise on our wedding day. In sickness and health. For poorer and richer, we did! Our families didn't leave us as well. We help each other and achieve each of our dreams. I thought the family I dreamed of would never happen. Fixing what is broken isn't easy, especially if trust is already ruined. You can trust again, but it wasn't the same. Doubts are always there knocking you off. Triggering your mind to suspect! I live my life believing he loves me to keep doubts away, though he shows his undying love every day so do I. We always look like a newlywed couple or a teenager who is just in love. Giggling when we see our crush. That's what we both feel. It's been 5 years but our love isn't fading. As the days, months, and years passed by, our love blossomed unexpectedly. My brothe
After the wedding, we both decided to travel locally for a month for our honeymoon since she was already almost four months pregnant with our twins again. For our first destination, I chose to go to Baguio, then Bulacan before Subic for our honeymoon. After almost two weeks, we plan to go to Boracay and back to Palawan. Then I suggested the last week staying in the Manila Marriott Hotel. Samantha supported us all the way and gave some suggestions. I did not allow her to return to Australia and New York and asked her best friend to take care of her business there while she was away. I will let her travel when she has already given birth and is capable of moving comfortably. At the moment, I'm still in bliss that I want to be with them and see them anytime, especially my lovely wife, who amazes me all the time.We are here today at the Baguio Country Club and this is our second day. It's nice to go for a walk, from around five pm onwards, feeling the chilly breeze and fresh smell of
Rex Pov...Now that the long-awaited day came, I felt nervous and my chest was going to explode, fidgeting. Samantha and I are getting married today, but I'm nervous and worried. Three days before our wedding, she lived with her parents, saying that we had to be apart for three days before the said wedding day.In the three days that I was not with her, I could not sleep well or eat. I miss her cooking and how caring she was. You just have to wait a few hours, Rex, you will see her. I mumbled to myself. My other two friends did nothing but laugh at me as well as my brother!"Buddy, just relax! You will see her in a while before you don't want to see her!" He mocked, jokingly."That was before!" I uttered, embarrassed."Then what about now, if that was only before?" He asked back."Because now, I love her and don't want to lose her again." I responded shamelessly, seriously looking into his eyes.He was my best friend but Samantha was her only sister. He has the right to ask! He smirk
Rex Pov...Our upcoming wedding is taking a toll on us but in a nice way. I can't be happier reaching this stage with her after the roller coaster incidents.Maybe if Samantha hadn't been persistent, we wouldn't have had a happy ending but only pain until our twins grew up. I always say no, not because of my pride, but because I didn't pay attention. But with everything that has passed in our lives, we have learned to appreciate each other before everything it's too late. I'm always scared she might get sick or hurt herself.Our wedding is next month and I can't wait to call her Mrs. Jimenez.Samantha is three months pregnant and we only spent one month preparing for our wedding. She was already five months pregnant on the very day of our wedding, so the balloon design of her wedding gown looked even better. Both of our parents didn't want us to get married after she gave birth. They want us to get married before her belly grows. During our one-month preparation, we didn't have any
Rex Pov...I frown when memories of Coleen are back in my head. I really can't get her out of my life. She was once a part of my life, hiding from Samantha. I met her at a meeting with my client who is a regular customer at the Diner's Pub he owns. After a few meetings, I courted her. My courtship and our date lasted for three months. Since we share the same hobby, it is not difficult to get along. I thought I really, fell in love with her but I just now realized that I didn't love her like I loved Samantha, who I hid from my heart for a long time because of Coleen. My love and desire awakened the moment I saw her with someone else. I'm very angry because of jealousy, which I don't want to accept. I smiled again at my stupidity. I already have her, but I keep on pushing her away. I also loved Coleen but I love Samantha more. Now, I can get justice for her but a little sorry for her, since my heart has always been in love with my best friend's younger sister. I chuckled, sticking my
Rex Pov...My hunch was right. We were asleep and mom woke us up. They brought a lot of fruits and vegetables so that Samantha would have something nutritious to eat. I sighed, staring at the fruit they brought. I am not starving my wife! She asked permission to take the twins - oh no, actually, she is informing me that they took the twins and they will return when Samantha gives birth."That's not possible, mom. I've only been with them for a month, why take them away?" I protested."Rex your priority is Sam. It's not easy to get pregnant with mischievous children. When she gives birth, make twins again." She responded."Mom!" I blurted out in disbelief."What? I want grandchildren." She snorted again. Samantha was already red as a tomato."You just said it's hard to get pregnant and then you want to get her pregnant again." I protested again."Why, don't you want to have a lot of children? Isn't that what you always wanted to have a big family?" Mom sneered. Samantha's eyes widened,
