"Sweetheart, take this ring as a symbol of my undying and unending love for you. That of, from this day forward. I will love you, cherish you, trust you and be loyal to you.

"Ashton, take this ring as a symbol of my love for you. That I am happy and more fulfilled as a person because of you. Thank you for accepting me, for loving me, and for the faith and trust you have in me. I promise to love you, respect you as an individual, and to be faithful to you forever. Today I choose you to be my partner, and commit myself to you for the rest of my life. Mahal din kita."

"Wife, sweetheart? Can you hand me the....

"Wife, I'll be....

"Good morning, sweet... I wasn't...

"Hello there, wife...

Anim na taon ang lumipas pero wala kaming ipinagbago, lalo na ako. Araw-araw ko siyang pinagsisilbihan, inaasikaso, at inaalagaan. Madalas busy siya sa opisina pero ayos lang iyon sa akin.

Anim na taon na din kaming namumuhay ng matiwasay at walang pinoproblemang Dimitrios. Walang Leonora, walang Aidan, walang selos at tampuhan.

Having a devilish yet loving husband is already a dream come true. Siya 'yong kapag nasa opisina ay istrikto, bossy, manhid, mainitin ang ulo at madalas galit. Kapag sa akin naman ay malambing, mabait, maasikaso din at maalaga.

My husband has a split personality na lumalabas lang kapag ako ang kausap at kasama niya.

One thing that didn't change about him is his habits. Ang paghalik niya ng bigla sa pisngi at labi ko, pagsuklay ng kamay niya sa aking buhok, pagyakap sa akin bigla at ang pagsasabi niya ng mga sweet words.

Full package. Perfect, in my eyes.

Their underground business is still on the top at mas lumakas pa nang siya na ang namuno mula ng ipasa sa kanya ni Daddy Zander ang pagpapatakbo dito and as his wife, he always has my support. Sumasama din ako minsan sa mga business trip at meetings niya. Mahirap na at baka may mangyari sa kanya na hindi ko alam.

"Hey. Good morning." Nakangiti niyang bungad sa pagdilat ng kanyang mga mata.

Niyakap ko siya at hinalikan sa pisngi.

"Good morning din."

Niyakap niya ako pabalik at naramdaman ko ang mahabang paghinga niya sa ulo ko.

"Still sleepy?"

"Nope. Can I ask you something?"

"Go on."

"How old am I?"

Napangiti ako sa tanong niya. Ashton's banat lines again.

Inangat ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at ninakawan siya ng halik sa labi.

"Twenty-five already."

"Ah, I thought I'm still seventeen. Feeling teenager ako tuwing nakikita kita eh."

Hindi na ako nagsalita pa at pinaibabawan ko siya.

Tumaas ang kilay niya at may kasamang ngisi. I love seeing his grin, a playful grin.
