Quelly's POV
When I was still at high school, I get bullied sometimes. From guys that like me, silent yet charming. From underclassmen that call me by my name. But, when I look at them, they giggled and look away. Now, that I'm older, I tend to see that past memories of mine as lessons. Never ever trust anyone but yourself and gut feeling.
Here I am, standing in front of the guy who I chose to be with the rest of my remaining years on earth.
He might never know and I might never know why we love each other, at least I know why it's him.
He was my anchor, my comfort pillow and my inspiration to look at life as good, whenever it's going unfair yet again. He is my savior. My destiny.
Five years with him, I'm still choosing to trust, believe and love him genuinely. I hope he still feels the same for me too, over the years.
Kard's POV
Bigla na lang ako niyakap ni Raine, out of the blue, "May problema ba?"
I felt her shook her head against my chest. "Namiss lang kita." Ngumiti ako at hinawakan ko ang kanyang mukha. Hinarap ko siya sa akin, and couldn't help myself. I kissed her sa lips like our wedding day.
Truthfully, it was a sudden event for me. Para kasi sa akin, yung nangyari sa amin, hindi ko inakala na kailangan ko maging lalaki. Like, man up and take responsibility for her and our baby.
Hindi na ako nag-alinlangan na pakasalan siya kahit alam namin na hindi pa namin ganun kakilala ang isa't isa. Yes, typical shotgun marriage. But ours is different.
Spending times with her is like a roller-coaster experience. Sometimes, masaya siya kasama, yet oftentimes, kung hindi lang mahaba pasensya ko, lalayasan ko siya dahil sa katigasan ng ulo niya.
"Nakikita ko na hindi mo talaga ako mahal, Kard, pinakasalan mo lang ako kasi tingin mo yun ang dapat." That was what really wake me up. Before I go go.
"Bakit ka natatawa?!" Uh-oh! Niyakap ko na lang siya like I always do kapagka nag-momood swings ito. Pagtapos I will pet her head and slightly massage her back. "Baby Raine, gusto mo ba ng makakain or tulog?" I've learned that I will never win against a woman whenever we argue. I am self-pitying yet I'm glad I am a man.
She wiped her tears and smile. Gosh! That smile will melt anyone's cold heart!
Hindi na ako nag-alinlangan na halikan siya and sa kama kami dinatnan ng umaga. Like so.
"Yuck!!!" Humiwalay ako sa halikan namin ni Raine dahil sa violent reaction ng kung sino man.
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Grabe kayong dalawa ah?" si William Lawrence lang pala.
Nag-fist bump kami habang si Raine, hiyang-hiya na may nakahuli sa amin na naghahalikan.
"Don't be shy, Mistress, sanay naman ako na may magkiss, yung inyo lang ay live eh!" Tumawa kaming dalawa.
"Hay naku! Kard ah! Next time, sa kwarto na lang tayo magkiss." With that statement, ngumiti ako nang mas malapad. "So, makagawa tayo ng baby number two?"
She stomped her feet and her face became red. Uh-oh!
"Sa sofa ka matutulog!"
