Ikatatlumpo't Siyam na Kabanata

Perfect conclusion

We're engaged!

We have this cute, matchy rings. Hindi humupa ang kasiyahan ko hanggang pag-uwi namin ng mansyon. Hindi lang rings ang matchy sa amin ni Raius, pati ang energy. His happiness and love radiated even from a mile away.

When I woke up from my sleep, he was watching me lovingly. Nakakainis! Kahit sa pagtulog ko, iyong tingin niya parang sinasamba ako.

"Good morning, wife," baritono niyang bati.

Wife? Okay.

Inuna ko na rin ang honeymoon. Masyado akong kinilig sa ganoong pagtawag niya sa akin. I took him to heaven early in the morning.

I love him so much.

Madalas ay sabay kaming bumangon sa umaga. Sinasabayan ko siya sa pag-eehersisyo matapos ang morning routine ko.

He could now use a crutch to support himself while he tried to walk, I was very attentive of him, but I only helped whenever he asked for my help. I would always worry about the little accidents, but it's part of his recovery journey.

My boyfriend, not my boyfriend anymore because we leveled it up to engagement, so... my fiance had always been positive most of the time even with the tedious process.

May mga pagkakataong frustrated din siya, hindi naman nawawala ang ganoon, he would cry with me to release his frustration. I love it more how open he is with me, and how he recognizes his emotions.

Minsan iyong immaturity ko na mismo ang nahihiya kapag gusto niyang awayin si Raius. It was simply not working on my boyfriend, I mean, fiance! He already knew when I was having my tantrums. Nakangiti lang siya hanggang matapos kong ihayag ang aking saloobin.

Our schedule was packed today. We had a continuous celebration of our monthsary and engagement.

Everyone we loved celebrated with us in the cruise ship. I was welcomed to the family a hundred times, kahit matagal na naman akong welcome, noon pa lang unang tumapak ako sa hacienda ng mga Ponce.

"Love, what should I wear for our movie date?" I gave options for him to look at.

It was three casual fits.

One is a two-piece white jumpsuit featuring an asymmetrical cutout design and a one-shoulder crop top. Second is a black ribbed bodycon dress with cowl neck. Last one is an embroidered, tie-strap floral maxi dress with high slit.

Pinili niya iyong last one. So, I picked his outfit matching with mine.

The kids were joining us for the movie. Of course, nagpa-cute na naman si Hana at Zafa sa amin, we couldn't just ignore their cuteness. This time, we would choose a movie appropriate for the kids.

Inihatid sa amin ang mga bata early in the morning. Wala rin naman silang pasok kaya sa amin muna mananatili ang mga bata. They requested to take care of their Tito Rye.

"You look beautiful, Tita Kalay ko! Can you put make up on my face, too?"

Lumapit sa akin si Hana habang nag-aapply ako ng make up sa vanity mirror. It wasn't the first time she requested that, I even asked her parents if it was okay with them. Wala namang problema kay Sai.

I brought some kid-friendly make up kits we could use whenever the kids want to put make up on their face. Kadalasan namang ako o si Rye ang canvas at pinagpapraktisan ng mga bata sa pagpi-painting ng mukha. They actually call it painting or an art.
