Rafreal's POV

"My mom and sister got into an accident." unang nasabi ko kay Kriesthal pagdating namin sa Hospital.

Sabi nang mga nakakita sa aksidente ay kasalanan daw ito nung naka-bangga, drunk driving.

I feel like I'm gonna losing my sanity if something happens to both of them, but I can't do that. Kasi andito si Kriesthal, yung lakas ko.

Not sooner did I found out na makikipag-break na pala siya sakin that day. Hindi ko dapat siya ginawang lakas ko, kasi ngayon, ako mismo yung nasasaktan nang sobra.

Ten years later, after I had already expanded the company my mother gave me. Sinabihan niya ako na kailangan ko makipag- partner sa iba para mas mapalago pa ito. That's when Kriesthal came back infront of me again.

Kaya gusto kong iatras yung kasunduan namin noon, ay dahil hindi ko kayang makita ulit si Kriesthal. She became my strength a long time ago, and I'm scared that she will become my strength again if I keep seeing her face. Kaya ako na ang mag-aadjust.

After our talk, I can sense that Kriesthal became a different person in just ten years.

A week then passed on, and I have no other choice rather than to confront her again. I need to continue our partnership or my mother will take back the company, and I'm willing to do anything for the company.

Time passed by and I still haven't seen Kriesthal. I can't go to her company to meet her, well it's not like I can't. But I just don't have any reason why to see her.

"Laqe, about this part of the site. You can—" I was busy instructing Laqe about something nang bigla siyang tinawag ni Kriesthal.

Tsss

"Hey Laqe!"

"Oh hey Baby"

tss, baby daw. Eh magka height lang sila.

"What are you doing here, Laqe? Bagong buhay?"

"Baby, that should be my line. What are you doing here? Hmm."

"Alam mo, may plus points kana papuntang impyerno. Demonyo ka" huling sabi ni Kriesthal at maglalakad na sana palayo kaso bigla itong nahimatay at natumba sa kay Laqe.

"Hoy Raf ikaw mag-buhat nito" tawag niya sakin at sabay turo kay Kriesthal.

"Bat naman ako? Bat di ikaw?" tanong ko

"Bat rin ako? Bahala ka na nga lang diyan. Ikaw pa tinutulungan eh, tsaka ang bigat kaya niyan. Swerte niya pag binuhat ko siya." diring sabi nito.

Kaya wala na akong ibang choice kundi kunin siya at ako na mismo nagbuhat kay Kriesthal.

"Max, baby are you okay?" tanong ko kay Max pagdating niya sa site.

"Yes of course, darling" sagot niya.

Pffttt. Sa totoo lang, pinsan ko naman to eh. Kaso nga lang, ship niya nga daw kami ni Krie. Kaya pinag-papa selos niya raw si Krie. Tsss, kabaliwan.

Pinsan ko siya dahil anak siya nang babaeng kapatid nang mama mo.

Pagkalipas nang isang buwan ay hindi parin bumalik si Kriesthal sa site. Kaso dumating si Max bigla.

"Kuya Raf naman eh, tell ate Kriesthal to set me up with Khylan." utos nito sakin.

Tinatamad na raw siya maging single that's why she wants me to set her up with Khylan, yung bunso nang mga Monteremo.

"Tigilan moko Max, isusumbong kita sa nanay mo." sabi ko sabay layo na.

Kaso tumakbo palapit sakin si Max kaya ayun, natapilok sa may mga bato na banda.

Kaya wala akong choice kundi ang dalhin siya doon sa office para gamutin ang mga sugat sa paa niya.

"Ahh R-raf s-stop. It h-hurts" ani Max

"Shut up, or they might hear you. Kung di kaba naman tanga eh, sino ba kasing matinong babae ang tatakbo sa may bato na banda nang site?" sagot ko.

"I-set up mo na kasi ako kuya. Promise I won't bother you."

The girl I cried for, the girl that cried for me.

The girl I waited for to comeback, the girl who came back for me.

The girl who became my strength, and will always be.

The girl I've always loved and will always do, is now walking in front of me, in the aisle. With her father next to her.

I want to cry, but I can't. "Bro, wag kang umiyak sa tabi namin. Antayin mo nalang na katabi mo na si ate Krie." sabi ni Khylan.

In that same day, May 5,  we shared our vows, our kisses and our love. How time passed by.....

We are now sharing the 7th month since our wedding day. Today is december and my birthday is already near.

December 20, the date after my mother and sister got in an accident.

December 20, the date we broke up. The date I hated the most for 10 years.

And it looks like I will be spending my birthday by my self, since Kriesthal has been ignoring me. She has been acting weird since last July.

She would sleep at home once in a week. And she would even make me sleep an the couch in the living room. And in the other days, she would sleep at Bella's.

But what can I do, mahal ko eh.

It is now December 5 and today will be my birthday, the sun has risen and the birds are already making noisy chirpings. But I still don't want to get up since I will be spending my birthday by myself.

"Rafreal, Life come on wake up already. Baby, hubby." gising ni Kriesthal sa akin kaya dali-dali akong gumising.

Only to find my wife, Kriesthal holding a bed table with breakfast in her hands. Two pairs of pancakes, a small bowl filled with strawberries and some yoghurt with it. And she's wearing some large hoodie.

"Sorry life, iyan lang kaya ko." sabi niya sabay peace sign.

I wanted to ask her about why she has been ignoring me for the past few days, weeks— I don't know, I lost count. But I don't want to spoil our moment right now.

"Thank you wife, I love you." at hinalikan siya sa labi niya at magsi-simula na sanang kumain.

"By the way, this is my gift for you." sabay abot sa akin nang envelope na nakabalot nang wrapper. Kaya tumigil muna ako sa ginagawa ko at binuksan ito.

When I opened it, I was sure as hell surprised by what I found. It contains a Pregnancy test, pregnancy blood test, and even a pregnancy ultrasound. What's more shocking is that all of it says 'Positive'.

I looked up at Kriesthal when she revealed what's under her large hoodie. A big baby bump.

"Surprise Life! We're having a baby girl." sabi niya.

"Thank you so much Life, you never fail to amaze me. I love you so much." naluluhang sabi ko at hinalikan siya sa noo.

I learned so much from my mistakes in past. And I'm glad that I finally found and did the right thing.

I already have Kriesthal and now we will be having a baby girl. I can't wait to treasure my two girls.

After meeting Kriesthal, that was the time I knew that the heart does not need an exact reason to love. It just starts to love someone at a random time, in an unexpected moment.

Kriesthal Zeiah Monteremo - Fuenza   and
Rafreal Dameon Fuenza,
