It was a sunny afternoon when I decided to call Maid Tanna. I had been going through a lot lately, and I needed someone to talk to. As luck would have it, Maid Tanna was available to answer my call."Hey, Maid Tanna, it's me, Theron.""Oh, hi, how have you been?" replied Maid Tanna on the other end of the phone."I've been good. Things are settling down now that my wife is back home.""That's great news! I'm so happy for you.""Thanks, Maid Tanna. But there's something else that's been bothering me.""What's that?""Well, my wife has been focusing a lot on volunteering at the church. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that she's found something meaningful to do, but I'm worried that she might be neglecting our relationship."Maid Tanna listened patiently as I shared my concerns. After finishing, she paused for a moment before responding."Theron, I think the best thing you can do is communicate your feelings with your wife. Let her know that you're proud of her for volunteering and that yo
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
As I watch my wife Athara sleep on the floor, I can feel my heart heavy with regret. Our argument had gone too far, and the things I said had hurt her deeply. I know that I was wrong, that I should have taken her feelings into account before insisting on going back to New York.I take a deep breath and try to shake off the sense of sadness that engulfs me. I know that we need to talk, to come to a decision together about what our future holds. But for now, I just want to sit and watch Athara and our child, to feel the warmth of their bodies close to mine.As I sit there in silence, I begin to notice the small things about them: the slight curve of Athara's nose, the way our baby's breath slows when she's deeply asleep. It's as if time has stopped, and I am grateful for this moment of peace.I reach out and brush a strand of hair from Athara's face, the softness of her skin reminding me of why I fell in love with her in the first place. I know that we need to find a way to navigate our
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
My wife and I had an agreement on when she will volunteer at the church. Athro and I are her companions during weekdays and on weekends she is at church. We agreed on our setup. "It's only one month left and our son will be one year old, love," she said. Athro was in the stroller and was having his milk while Athara and I were sitting on the chairs facing each other. We talk about our future and our son's. "Yes, Athara. Our son will be one year old so soon. I am excited to see him growing up but there's a sadness inside my heart that made me want to hold him growing. It's like I'm not ready yet. I'm used to him being just a baby all the time," I said with a sad voice. I heard her let go of a sigh. She leaned forward and touched my cheek. "I know that because you are the only one with him for almost a year during daytime. Sometimes it feels like you are the mother of our child because I am always gone during the daytime and went home late. But let's think that we cannot stop our c
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
Athro's birthday is getting closer and closer. I'm also excited to be back in New York. I have also been separated from the place where I lived for more than a year. I was awake earlier but I just stayed in bed. My body is tired because Athara and I had sex again last night. Fuck. My length made a beat when I remembered how I fucked her pussy last night. I sighed before I got out of bed. The white paint of the house was my guide down. A comfortable living room set is located in our living room. I smiled and approached my wife who was just staring at the television screen while her left hand held Athro's stroller. She was watching a Philippine noontime show. She laughed even though she didn't understand the language. "Good morning," I greeted her when I sat down next to her. "Is it still morning? It's noon, Theron. Take your brunch. I already ate my breakfast and my lunch earlier. Look at yourself, you've lost weight," she said. There was concern in her eyes. "I have no appetite
The day of our flight to New York arrived. Our things are ready. Actually, last night we prepared the things we will bring. Last week, I let Athara say goodbye to the church where she served. I felt a pain for my wife because I could see the sadness in her eyes when she said goodbye to the church. She did come home with red eyes and they were even swollen. We are sitting on the sofa today while our son is in the stroller busy playing with his robot. My eyes wandered all over the interior of the house. This house has become a part of my being. Here I felt the feeling of truly having a wife and a family. "I will surely miss this place, Athara," I said to my wife. She smiled before leaning into me. She smiled and at the same time as she smiled tears fell from her eyes. She forced a laugh. She immediately removed the tears that I guessed would also fall and follow her first tears. "Theron, don't even talk about the house. You know that this has become our home. This is where I fel
