I STILL can't move on from what he said earlier. . . He wants to court me— as in me, his wife. A crew from his team called Reeve so he had to go back inside the covered court while I was left with my fellow volunteers.

Pagkaalis na pagkaalis ni Reeve ay nagpasabog sila ng sunod-sunod na tanong sa akin. I don't have any choice but to answer all of them with a little white lie. I do believe that lying is not always wrong.

I have to tell a lie to protect the truth.

When we had lunch, I was really surprised because there were silver containers on the long wooden table from Zuriel's. I did not expect that he would come here just to ask if he could court me. It feels strange seeing him here for that reason.

As usual, ang kasama ko mag lunch ay ang mga kapwa ko volunteers. Nandito rin sina kapitan conrado at ang iba pang tanod para makasabay namin kumain. When Reeve came back, all of my fellow volunteers sent their gratitude to him for the food. They welcomed him with open arms as he tal

    THE SUN arise with warmth and tranquillity. I woke up lightly, and this kind of morning was the best way to exercise and explore the beauty of this barangay. I quickly turned my head when I heard a knock on the wooden door.Nadatnan kong nakatayo si Reeve sa may bukana ng pinto habang nakahalukipkip. Ngayon ko lang napansin na humahaba na pala ang buhok nito habang suot ang gusot na puting sando at dark blue boxer shorts. Nalipat ang tingin ko sa malapad nitong balakat at ang namumutok nitong braso.The tiny hair on his legs looks sexy.Nang mas bumaba pa ang tingin ko sa katawan niya ay napalunok na ako dahil sa halatang umbok nito sa harapan ng kanyang boxer shorts. Damn, that bulge inside his boxer shorts!"Are you done staring at me, wife?"Napakurap-kurap ako at napaangat ang tingin sa mukha ni Reeve nang marinig ang kalmado ngunit malalim niyang boses. His voice took on a familiar cocky lilt.I raised my eyebrow even as the heat of embarrassment prickled my skin. "What are you

    LEILA, the granddaughter of the old lady we helped, thanked us for helping her helpless lola. Kinuha ko ang contact number niya para makakuha ako ng update tungkol sa lola niya. I want to know if she's okay.Pagkatapos ko ilahad sa kanila ang buong nangyari kanina sa palengke ay naghanda na kami para sa medical mission ngayong araw. Reeve, went back in the tiny house para magluto ng lunch namin."Maraming salamat po sa libreng check up at sa libreng gamot, doc." This is the last sentence I heard for our medical mission today.Time passed, and the sky turned pinkish purple as the sun slowly disappeared from the horizon until the sky turned black. What a wonderful sight to behold."Wife, It's dinner time," "Oh? What's for dinner?" I asked as I looked back at him. Nakatayo ako sa may harapan ng bintana habang pinapanood ang paglubog ng araw."I cooked Bangus belly in Teriyaki sauce, and cauli rice. I also made a steam banana bread," he retorts. Natakam naman ako kaagad sa putaheng nil

    TRUE to his words, nanligaw nga si Reeve. Never in my life has someone courted me, but I'm not saying that I didn't experience having blind dates. I did have a few, maybe five or seven blind dates courtesy of my mom. When I started studying in medschool, doon ako literal hindi nakapagdate or nakapagflirt dahil masyado akong engrosed sa pangarap ko.I was too busy achieving my dreams to date and think about men.And somehow, I don't feel like dating because of what happened in the past that involved Reeve and me."Wife, your necklace." The bubble inside my dead burst when I heard Reeve's deep voice.I blinked when he fixed my necklace because it was on backward. He also strokes back my baby hair that was covering my face. Tumitig siya sa'kin saglit bago tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya."There you go," he muttered."T-Thanks." My cheeks flushed. His small gesture really makes me awe-struck.For me, those small gentures are more genuine than the grand gestures since you can plan or sche

Sana po marami pa po kayong matulungan na kapos palad," nakangiti ako habang pinapakinggan ang mga pasasalamat ng mga naging pasyente ko.They went here to meet me and sent their gratitude to me. Binigyan nila ako ng mga kakanin at iba pang produkto na gawa sa Pampanga. Tuwang-tuwa naman ako dahil natulungan ko sila."Walang anuman po. Masarap po sa pakiramdam na nakatulong ako sa inyo," I smiled genuinely at them. "Salamat po sa mga 'to." I pulled up the plastic bag full of Pampanga's delicacy.We took a group photo with other volunteers, which will be uploaded on the website of Areno. We bid our good bye to the members of barangay Arayat before we entered our cars.This time, I'll ride with Reeve. Si Doc RJ na rin ang nagsabi na kay Reeve na lang ako sumabay kung gusto ko.

    THE first rays of sunlight lit up my room, indicating that another day had dawned. I rubbed my blurry eyes and walked to the window. I pulled up the white curtain, revealing the pearly glow in the sky.Today is a rest day for all the medical volunteers. The Areno's director— my mom, gave us a two days rest day after the one week we spent on the medical mission. Today is a great day to rest and enjoy the freedom from the battlefield of my work.I took a deep breath before I headed to the bathroom to wash my face. I mentally listed everything I thought of doing today— yoga, cleaning the whole house, grocery shopping, binge-watching a movie, and maybe I can learn how to bake something!I was hopping on the stairs wearing a pair of ombre sports bras and leggings. I tossed my hair into a bun. I was holding a yoga mat when I bumped into someone. It causes me to drop the yoga mat.Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib dahil sa pagkagulat. "I thought you already left!"

    PINANLAKIHAN ko siya ng mata nang marinig ang sinabi niya. How come he is directly looking at my eyes when saying those words? Hindi ba siya naiilang? Where is he getting all of his confidence?I bit the inside of my cheeks."May balak ka pa ba magpadagdag ng tattoos?"He shrugged. "I wanted to, but I won't get a new one if you don't like it." he retorts.I sighed. "I'm fine with you getting another tattoo. Huwag lang marami saka malaki."Napatango naman siya sa sinabi ko. Kumuha siya ng popcorn na nasa lamesa saka niya ako sinubuan na alanganin pa akong tanggapin. He smiled a little when I accepted the popcorn.I swallowed. "Have you had a girlfriend before?" kitang-kita kong natigilan siya sa naging tanong ko.Based on his reaction, he had women before."So, is it before or after we got married—" I yelped when he grabbed my arm and spun me around until I straddled one of his legs. My blood flared in my cheeks as he tightened his grip on my waist.Our eyes locked, and my heartbeat i

    REEVE and I were eating breakfast when we both heard the doorbell. We glance at each other before Reeve decides to stand up and check. I was casually sipping my coffee when I heard a bark from the living room, causing me to turn my head.I quickly stood up to check if I was thinking right. My mouth parted when Beau and Scout came running to me, wagging their tails."Omg! Hi, babies!" I greeted them using my baby voice. I caressed their head and looked around, trying to look for their Dad.I felt the awkwardness when I saw a good-looking guy standing a meter feet away from us. Kausap niya si Reeve at kitang-kita kong sabay silang bumaling sa direksyon ko. I wanted to divert my gaze from them, but my eyes were stucked in their direction. I just gave them a reluctant smile. I heard footsteps coming closer in my direction. I stood up with dignity and met their gaze. The guest of Reeve was wearing a simple workout outfit. Mukhang kagagaling niya lang sa gym at nang matapos ay dito siya d

    I lick my bottom lip and puff a breath. "Well, I don't know who spread that rumour, but it was Nurse Eva's rap. Siya ang nagsabi kung nasaan ako,"Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Nurse Eva at mabilis na nagtakip ng mukha. All of us looked at her. "Sorry naman, dra! Nagtanong kasi siya kung saan exactly iyong medical mission, wala naman akong balak sabihin pero. . . Ang gwapo kasi, 'eh.""Marupok ka, Evangeline!" Dra. Eunice gently hit Nurse Eva's arms, causing us to chuckle.I shake my head. "It's fine lang naman. But is he really that handsome?" I asked her."Opo, dra," she giggled. Napatingin siya kay Dale na tahimik lang sa gilid. "Uy, baka magselos ka, doc, 'ah? Don't worry, ikaw pa rin ang number 1 crush ko!" She proudly stated.Heat quickly drew on Doctor Dale's face. Dra.

Nauna na akong maligo sa asawa ko't nag-aayos pa 'yon ng mga pagkain na pinauwi sa amin ng mga mababait na staffs. I was patting my damp, long hair when I caught a glimpse of the thin, vulgar, red lingerie that Khrizanta had gifted me. She told me to wear it on our honeymoon. I don't know what got to me, and I brought it with me. The chills the lingerie gives me make my blood rush in my veins quicker. I shut my eyes, and the moment my eyes opened, I found myself bravely wearing the lingerie. Tinignan ko ang sarili sa salamin. From the boobs down to my thighs and bottoms, it fitted me so well. My confidence increased rapidly the longer I stared at myself. I took my make-up kit and looked for a bold colour of lipstick. I picked the one with a red shade and spread it on my lips.

After that, I marched towards the bathroom and took my time doing my morning rituals.I grabbed my phone and walked towards the glass door of the balcony, pulling it open. Tumapak ako palabas at pinagmasdan ang tanawin. I took a sigh of amazement as the view in front of me took my breath away. The immaculate cerulean blue water of the sea is screaming tranquillity. Hindi masyadong malakas ang alon sa dagat. I can see people enjoying their day at the beach.I sat on the rattan couch while holding my phone.

    Unseen chapter: The Honeymoon For my first outfit, I wore a ruffled sleeves white dress that reached above my calves. I turned my dark hair into a low bun with a few thin hairs dangling on both sides of my face. I applied light make-up as it suits me very much. Hindi na ako nagsuot ng mga alahas at tanging wedding ring namin ni Reeve at ang hikaw ko ang suot ko. Reeve was wearing a black button-down short sleeve and white trousers. The first four buttons of his shirt were opened, revealing his hard chest. Kumakapal na rin ang buhok ni Reeve. Simula noong mag retired siya bilang lieutenant-colonel, nagpapahaba na siya ng buhok. But hubby continued getting faded haircut as I told him I love seeing him with faded hairstyle. Reeve and I entered the highly recommended Mexican restaurant near our hotel called Riviera Maya restaurant. The restaurant itself has a modern Mexican interior and an overlooking ocean view. A server immediately introduced himself and guided us to our tabl

What if the breast milk I prepared ain't enough?" I asked worriedly. "Do you want us to bring him? We can go back and get him," he asked back. We are now in the car, travelling to the airport. Hindi na namin sinama si Killian at baka magdalawang-isip pa ako na hindi tumuloy. I don't want to leave our son. I am too worried about him, but at the same time, I want to be with Reeve, just the two of us, on our honeymoon vacation. I sighed and shook my head. "I want to, but this is our vacation as husband and wife. I just can't stop thinking and worrying about our son. Ito ang unang beses na iiwan natin siya sa loob ng apat na araw," He reached for my elbow and tugged me so I could face him. "Wife, don't worry too much about Killian, okay? He's in the good hands.

Reeve's strong arms immediately caught my waist. He pulled me and let me use his lap as my chair. My heart instantly leapt with his move. "Wife, 20 million is enough. We still have Ukraine and another country to send our donations, remember?" "Yes..." "So, we have to save..." I felt his hand squeeze my waist. "Baka mamulubi naman tayo niyan," My lips parted before I chuckled. "Hindi naman siguro, hubby." He bowed his head in silence before he burst into laughed. "You are not sure, wife." I felt his lips on my cheek. "Have you told Killian about our plans?" I sighed upon remembering that. Reeve and I will fly to Mexico this week for our honeymoon for our second wedding. Today is our real honeymoon because when we first got married and had our honeymoon, we were both drunk. Last month, our wedding

    Time flies so fast because Killian is growing so fast. Killian is now ten months old, and in two months, he will turn 1. He can now crawl and stand on his own. He also have two primary teeth in front of his gums. He likes to explore and be mobile the reason why we've put up safety barriers in his nursery room. Killian giggled as I tickled him gently on his chubby neck. His little chuckles are sound to my ears. I can't help but chuckle while watching him. May dalawang ngipin na siya sa harapan, making him more adorable. "You like it when Mama tickles you, huh?" I gently said and kissed him on his forehead. "Mama and Papa loves you so much, baby. Don't grow up so fast, please?" Killian made a random sounds as if he was talking back at me. Napangiti ako pinunasan ang namumuong laway sa gilid ng labi niya. Saktong lumabas si Reeve galing bathroom nang magsalita si Killian sa unang pagkakataon. It wasn't the first time, but it was the first he uttered clear words. Most of the time,

    ON our second day, we went to the French Aquarium in Le Bon Marche. Kirsten and Killian enjoyed their time there since they had some activity regarding sea creatures. We also went to some high-end brand shops to buy pasalubong. Then, we went to the Eiffel Tower. Tomorrow, we decided to visit the Disneyland Paris. I was staring at the magnificent view of the sunset when I suddenly craved steak. I wanted to eat steak, but not the usual steak that was cooked by a normal chef. I want it to be exceptional! I pulled the hem of Reeve's jacket. I looked at him in doe when he glanced at me in confusion, yet his aura looked radiant. Palibhasa, natuloy kami sa pagdidilig kagabi. And I swear it was so good that we had four rounds! "Hmm? What does my wife want?" he asked while grinning. "I want steak for dinner." He looked dazed. "Steak? I knew a steak restaurant in the corner," he says. I shook my head in disagreement. "No! Gusto 'ko luto ni Gordon Ramsay! I want him to cook the steak

    After over 16 hours of non-stop flight, the airplane safely landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Reeve got our luggage on the carry-on while I readied the kids to disembark the plane. But before we leave, lumabas si Dad mula sa cockpit para batiin kami. I was mesmerized seeing him wearing a pilot uniform. May mga ibang crew ang napatingin sa paglapit ni Dad sa amin. Dad gave me a peck on my cheeks before he tapped Reeve's shoulder. "Lolo, you're here! You are amazing, Lolo! You navigate this big aircraft by yourself!" Killian jaunty says. "Thank you, buddy," sagot ni Dad at bahagyang ginulo ang buhok ni Killian. "Lolo is a pilot?" Kirsten innocently says. Dad nodded, chuckling. "I am, sweetheart. How's the flight?" he asked cooly. "The flight was fine, Dad. Thank you for landing us safe," sagot 'ko. "Of course, sweetheart. That's my job, to make you all safe in the air and to make sure the plane will safely land on the runaway," he answered. "You're so cool, Lolo!

    DAYS and weeks went in the blink of an eye. Last two months, we celebrated Killian and Kirsten's birthday. And now Reeve and I will celebrate our 7th anniversary as a husband and wife. We've been married for 17 years, but we are celebrating the anniversary of our second marriage. . . "So. . . You'll be back next month?" Mom asked in curiosity. I nodded with a subtle smile. "Yes, mom." "Ingat kayo doon, okay? Message me after the airplane lands at the airport," she said, making me nod. "Don't worry about us, Mom, we will be fine," I assured her. "I'll miss you and these two adorable children," she says and proceeds on hugging Killian and Kirsten. "I'll miss you both, sweetie pie," she says. "I will miss you too, Lola pretty!" Killian muttered. "Love you, Lola," Kirsten says, kissing mom on the cheeks. Nakangiti ako habang nakatingin sa kanila.
