4 YEARS LATER

Rion's POV

Marriage life turned my world upside down. And I'm not complaining. Kung dati ay hindi ako matigil sa opisina dahil sa iba't ibang business engagements here and abroad, ngayon ay mas maraming oras na ang ginugugol ko sa Flaviejo. I can still manage my businesses remotely and devote most of my time with my family, thanks to technology and trusted people. Isa pa ay kailangan ng atensyon ko ang rancho, now that Don Marionello let me take over.

Mula dito sa gazebo ay matatanaw ang kanang bahagi ng asyenda, napangiti ako sa nakikita at nararamdamang katahimikan. Ibinalik ko ang atensyon ko sa pagtutupi ng eroplanong papel habang paminsan-minsang tumitingin sa monitor ng laptop kung saan may video conference kami nila Moi at Zilv.

"And why do I feel that you're not paying attention to what I'm saying, my fellow gorgeous?" masyadong malapit sa camera si Moi na parang sinisilip kami ni Zilv.

"Because you're just babbling, Moi. Kanina ka pa natapos sa updates mo." I answered. Ipinatong ko ang origami sa gilid ng mesa na mabilis na kinuha ng maliit na kamay.

"I just want to spend some quality time with you! You know, we're all happily preoccupied with our marriage lives."

"We were there just last week." I reminded him at nagtupi ulit ng papel. We regularly fly to La Felinovine once a month. 

"Clingy." I heard Zilv.

Ipinatong ko ulit ang origami sa lamesa at nakangiting inabot ulit iyon ni Primo. Bago pa siya makatakbo ay binuhat ko siya at itinaas sa ere. 

My 2-year-old son's giggles echoed around. Aah, music to my ears. Itinaas din niya ang mga braso habang hawak sa kamay ang origami, nakanguso habang gumagawa ng tunog ng eroplano.

I did the same and that earned another giggle from him, the best reward for me.

Bumalik ako sa harap ng laptop at kinandong ang anak ko. The little boy's face beamed when he saw his uncles on the monitor. Lumingon sa akin habang tinuturo ang mga pamilyar na mukha na nasa screen.

"Yup, buddy, those are your uncles." Ginulo ko ang buhok niya.

"Don't forget the adjectives before the word uncles, baby Primo." si Moi na sobrang lapit na naman sa camera. "Say, gor-geous un-cles." nilagyan niya ng pagitan ang bawat syllable.

At 2 years old, baby Primo has a vocabulary explosion aside from short sentences, he's always very eager to learn new words. Pinipilit niyang gayahin ang pagbigkas ni Moi at sinimulan sa pag-nguso. I chuckled at the sight, he inherited his cute pout from his mother.

And thinking about the mother of my child, my wife Dollar entered the gazebo holding a plate. "I perfected it!" She announced excitedly, inilapag ang platong may lamang cookies at umupo sa tabi ko.

"Maa-miii!" Primo yelled animatedly.

"Hi, baby! How's your vocabulary learning with Uncle Moises?" hinalikan ni Dollar ang anak at saka ako naman ang ninakawan ng halik.

"He's learning the positive adjectives I possess, Dolyares, gorgeous!"

"Why I'm not surprised! Now, gorgeous men, clear your schedule tonight because we, the wives, decided to have a virtual party tonight at 7pm. Okay?"

"Why not now? My wife's just beside me and I can see Gracy from Moi's background." Zilv asked.

"Oooh, it seems Tatay Zilv will be busy at 7pm, making little Zilvestrios, ang aga naman non Tay!" Moi teased that got everyone a grin.
