I was gone for a moment because nature called me. I sat back in my seat on the plane, my eyes fixed on the clouds outside. As I gazed out, I couldn't help but think of Athara, hundreds of miles away.The distance between us always seemed so immense when I was on the road, and it weighed heavily on my mind. I shook my head because of the thought. I must think positively that our distance would become narrow. Whenever I thought of her, a warmth spread through my body that took the edge off the separation.I remembered the last time we were together, I took her for granted and I was afraid to tell her I love her. I smiled at the thought of her infectious stare and the way her eyes crinkled when she smiled.I reached for my phone and scrolled through pictures of her, feeling a sense of comfort and connection despite the physical distance between us. I hope this comfort won't be taken from me. I longed to hold her close, to wrap my arms around her and feel the beating of her heart against

As I held her in my arms above the soft bed, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of love and protectiveness. "I think it's about being present," she said softly, her head resting against my chest. "Being there for them, listening to them, and guiding them as they grow."I nodded, knowing that she was right. "And being patient," I added. "Kids need patience, especially when they're trying to figure things out."She smiled up at me, her eyes shining with love. "You're going to be an amazing father," she said, reaching up to kiss me.I felt a rush of emotion, knowing that this was exactly where I was meant to be. Together, we would build a family and create a home full of love, laughter, and support.As we continued to talk, planning out our future as parents, I knew that the road ahead wouldn't always be easy. There would be challenges and obstacles, but as long as we had each other and our love for our children, we would be able to overcome anything.With a sense of purpose

A few days have passed but Athara and I still haven't spoken clearly. We eat together and we sleep beside each other but we are not okay. My heart was heavy because of our setup. I feel like I am carrying the heaviest thing on Earth. This is how hard it is if the person you love is not okay with you even if you live together in the same house. Athro is being taken care of by her well but she is still not resting from her volunteering at the church. We were close with each other but there was a huge distance between us, it made my heart the saddest thing on Earth now. "Shh, Athro! Stop crying," she said while she was carrying Athro. She was dancing without the beat of her own created music to calm Athro down. I was just on my table and doing my business. I realized how to take care of my business even though I am far away. The days that Athara and I weren't okay were turned to months and it feels even longer. Another two months have passed. Athara and I are growing up. Athro will

I just feel happy and grateful because Athara and I are fine and finally settled. When night came and our son went to sleep, we were on the veranda of the house. We could see the city lights. The night is beautiful now because there are stars scattered in the sky. "It's a beautiful night because of the stars in the sky, Theron," she said. I smiled but didn't look at the stars she was talking about. My gaze fell on her. "I had a beautiful night because I was with you," I told her. She looked at me. Our eyes met. I suddenly felt nervous as she came closer to me. The stars on the night sky witnessed when I took a deep breath in a weak way. She always make me weak."You make my night even better, Theron. You don't know how happy I have been in the last few months that we have been together here in the Philippines. I also want to apologize for making your heart heavy most of the time. I'm sorry if you've had a hard time lately, " she said. I locked her in my arms. The hug I gave her w

When we got to our room we put Athro on his bed. Instead of sleeping, he was still playing. He laughed out loud because of how Athara formed objects through her hands. My member is really hard now like a pole. I don't know what to do to calm myself down first. I touched Athara and that made her looked at me and shook her head. "Theron, can't you see that our son still wants to play? He's enjoying the moment," said Athara. I sat up on the bed. I was depressed. My gaze fell on the floor. I feel like I want to cry because of the annoyance I feel. "Shouldn't we go in for a quick moment?""Theron, you're like a child. Athro even wants to play. It's not right that I stopped playing with him. Athro will really cry if I do that," she stated. I can't accept that Athara did this to me. She made me believe that we went inside to make a quick moment but I was wrong. It's like we came in here so she could play with our son. That was unfair! "You made me hope for nothing, Athara. You made me
