While looking at my family, I am feeling very proud.
It’s like I’ve won a hundred and thousand dollars’ feeling.
I’m so lucky to have an ex-gay as a husband.
I’m so lucky that I chose to gamble and lucky that all of my heartaches were worth it.
“Hey, kiddos! Come here. Don’t make so much fun out of Tati.” I shouted.
That caught their attention.
My children with their dad are so busy playing with each other here at our rest house in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
After a year, when I proposed to Carlos we got married.
We had a church wedding in Manila Cathedral. He said that we need to ask for the blessing of the Lord in his roof.
That’s why we got married first at the church.
Then we had our honeymoon in El Nido in Palawan for 1 whole month. His mom takes over the company from him.
And speaking of his Mom, he’s too kind, Carlos overreacts about her. The set-up dates that her Mom planned were for him. She’s worried that Yue will get older without someone.
In our second year of marriage, he asked me to marry him again. We renewed our vow in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. How sweet is that?
But, what makes me happier? When Yue plans to have our second honeymoon on a cruise.
At that cruise, is where we made our first child. No, rather. Triplets. I gave birth to three healthy baby boys.
We named them,
Yule Hayasaki
Yael Hayasaki
Ynigo Hayasaki
Yue and I almost fight in naming our boys.
Like duh? Where is the justice there? He wants to follow it to his name.
I the end, I won. We decided that we will name them differently but their initials must be Y.
When I was about to give birth, that was the most memorable part of our marriage.
We were at the restaurant and eating until my water bag broke. I screamed, “Shit Yue,
I'm gonna give birth!”
When I said that, he didn’t panic at all. He calmly stood up and gently carries me to his arms and walks to our car.
He is calmly driving to the hospital, but when I am about to be admitted to the emergency there he’s gone.
I asked the nurse to find my husband. I panic because no one is answering me where is he.
But, we’re all shocked when someone shouted, “Oh my ghad! Nurse! Doc!Someone I unconscious here in front of the emergency! Help!”
I asked the nurse, to check if the unconscious man wears a maroon polo shirt and acid wash pants. Then,
he came back and confirmed it to me.
Carlos collapsed with his eye wide-open!
I stood up and walks towards him, I did not even though my whole body is feeling the pain.
I slap his face very hard, “ Brutte! You almost forgot to close your eyes when you are unconscious! You are not accepted at the audition! So, come here and I am about to give birth!”
I was laughing my ass out while telling that story to our relatives every time that they visited me.
Carlos is unbelievable.
But, he might be like that, I still love him, even if 5 years have passed, I love him wholeheartedly. Just exact amount, no, rather, SO MUCH!
In the five years, that we’ve been together, he provides everything to our family. And, we raised our children to be kind.
I couldn’t ask more.
But, there is.
My children with their dad walk towards me with a smile on their faces, “Mamay! Tati is so weak, he can’t tag me.”  Yule told me.
And then the other two boys nodded.
Hay. They are too silly, that they do silly things towards their Dad, I guess that’s their way of bonding with Carlos. Which they call Tati.
They run as soon as they saw their Dad coming to us.
I must admit, their silliness is inherited from me.
Yue kissed me on my lips. Then down to the little bump on my belly.
“I can’t wait to finally meet my daughter, My mon amour. What are we going to name her? I suggest Ynah, just to be related to my name.” he said while pouting.
Here we go again. How many times will he insists that name to me!
“How many times do I have to tell you that I am not okay with that, baby. Just pick any name but not anything related to your name, okay Big boy? I said while caressing his cheeks.
Yue is acting like a kid every time he wants to cuddle.
I looked at his eyes, those eyes. It does not change since the first day I met him.
The day that started our faith and destiny.
