Eliana P.O.V.
"Is my older son excited about school?"
"Oppooo mimi" Andrei and I both laughed at Gabriel. He's Six years old and it's been five years since the struggles in my married life ended.
"Mimi and Didi will pick you up again huh? Don't go with the others. Just wait for us"
"Oppo, Eyya you wait for brother ah?" I smiled sweetly. Gabriella hugged her older brother. They could hardly always be separated. And they both wanted to be together.
"Are you crying again?" Andrei hugged me from behind.
"Why? You're jealous? Edi you cry too" I said calmly. Oh don't, I'm not pregnant. I was just annoyed with this man and came home late last night without even saying anything.
"Sorry wifey, I won't do it again" I pushed him then I faced ourtwo children.
“You didi, so naught” I bit my lip at what Gabriel said.
"Daddy is sorry"
"You're no longer a love mimi hihi" Andrei was even more frustrated by what his son said.
“Your mom loves me”
“Hey, don’t argue with your son!” I sighed.
"Why, don't you love me anymore? Wifey!" I rolled my eyes at him.
“Told you didi, it’s okay eyya and I loves you” They approached their father and kissed him.
"Didi loves you so much too"
"And Mimi loves you so much" I whispered "I love you three" I kissed them on their foreheads even my husband.
"We also lab you Mimi/yab yab mi di" I don't know why I suddenly cried at what my children said.
"Oh! Mimi is crying again" I slapped Andrei's hand pointing at me "It hurts ah?"
"You're really going to be hurt, you're still to blame for me" Suddenly his face softened and he approached me then hugged me tightly
"I'm sorry wifey, I'm just really finishing the paperworks in the office because I'm going to leave next month, right?"
"Eh, why are you leaving? You're being silly Buenaventura"
"Of course it's my son's birthday next month so I'll really prepare" Gabriel jumped at what his father said.
“Really didi? There’s a cake?”
"Yes baby" The smile on my son Gabriel's face could not be erased as he held his sister’s hand and repeatedly said that he had a cake on his birthday.
"I'm really sorry wifey, I won't do it again" he poute, He put his face on my neck.
"Just make sure, you're not going to do this again, Andrei," I said angrily.
"Not anymore wifey, I just didn't notice the time last night"
"Okay, Fine. Let's take Gabriel. It's too late" He quickly picked up Gabriel while I picked up Gabriella.
"Let's go to Ria and Neil hubby"
"Okay, will you buy something to take with them like food or something else?"
"Hmm. Let's just buy a pizza"
"Okay"
"Hi yiya yiyo" I quickly picked up Nicholas and kissed his face that made him grin.
He really looks like his father. His blood is strong, huh? Dmn.
"Did you get a visit?" Ria asked with a smile
"Well ... I just thought of visiting and I'm not busy anymore." I said and chuckled,
"Good, I miss you girl" Ria hugged me tightly, thinking she was going to kill me.
"My wife is having a hard time, Neil oh" Andrei complained to Neil.
"Andrei, you're really mean, get out of our house"
"Please be patient with my wife, she's pregnant!" My eyes widened and my jaw dropped
“What?” I said in shock
"Yes! I’m two weeks pregnant. Again" Ria poouted.
"Congrats Bestyyy" I whispered
"Are we? When will we have another baby?" I stared at Andrei at what he said.
"You'll be content with your two children, dmn you Andrei" I pinched it hard on his side.
The couple both laughed.
"Wifey, to whom will I bequeath my property? My wealth? I have only one child and you are only one. We only have two children? Not like that" I was slapped on the forehead by what he said.
"So? Are you kidding? Sleep in the living room later" Suddenly his eyes widened and he scratched his head.
"I'm just kidding Wifey"
"You're under bro eh" Neil said and laughed hard.
"No ah! I just have to follow my Mrs."
I was very tired when we got home. My body was still heavy. And I felt like I had a fever.
"I'm going to pick up Gabriel, are you still coming?" I shook my head softly "Why? Are you feeling bad?"
"Quite, Take Gabriella with you and Gabriel wants to be with her sister" He kissed my lips before leaving our room. I was just thinking that I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep.
Andrei and I have been married for days, months, and 5 years. It's been a hard time for me because sometimes my pain attacks. Knowing that it's not like that can be removed because of what happened in the past.
"Happy 5th Anniversary Wifey" he was carrying a tray full of food.
"Happy 5th Anniversary too, Hubby" He laid the tray on the side table and sat down next to me.
"I love you Eliana Bartolome Buenaventura" He kissed me in my lips
"I love you too Andrei Buenaventura" I kissed him back
"Thank you for sacrificing yourself. I owe you my life, Eli.I'll never cheat on you." I started to cry "I'm sorry for all the torture I did to you.I'm such a big jerk. "I caress his face upward with his hair "But you changed me.”.
"H-hubby you're making me cry"
"I know, I'm sorry.I'll do everything for you eli.I love you so much. I love you so much, Eliana" He started kissing me torridly.
"Andrei, Get up. Your mom and dad are there! What are you?" Earlier I was annoyed with this man and didn't want to wake up. I told him to go to bed early but he didn't.
Even though it is his birthday, I am kinda irritated with him.
"5 more minutes wifey" I was so annoyed that I threw a pillow at him and then left our room without him
"Don't get Andrei up yet" I said.
"Mimi, there you are, didi. Let's just say goodbye later" He even approached Gabriella.
"Just the baby plan, huh?" I whispered with a smile.
"Eliana ija, rest first" I nodded to Mom then sat on our sofa
"Gabriel son, can you massage Mimi's head?"
"Opo, Let’s go eyya. Let’s massage mimi’s head"
"I'm sorry, I woke up at noon"
"I hope you don't wake up," I irritatedly said.
"I'm sorry wifey, I woke up last night"he said.
"Oh so? Whose fault is it?"
"To me" I couldn't help but throw him a pillow. Laughter filled our house because of what I did to Andrei "I'm sorry wifey, aren't you babies?"
"We didn't greet you there, you're naughty mimi e" I secretly smiled at what my son said
"Argh!"
"Happy birthday didi" Our children said at the same time and then handed over their small gift.
"What's this babies?" hhe asked softly. My children both shrugged at their father's question
"What's this wifey?"
“You have a hand, Why don’t you open it?” I said angrily
"You're so mean to me wifey, it's my birthday today" I didn't answer and I just stared at it
Andrei P.O.V.
I slowly opened what my children had given me. Two red lines.Not just one pregnancy test but three.
"Y-you're pregnant?" I whispered to Eliana
"Why? You don't like it? You can run away!" I cried as I hugged my two children and kissed them.
"Thank you babies" I smiled sweetly "Thank you eliana, Thank you wifey" I gently kissed it on the lips. I knelt down so I could level her belly "Hi baby, I'm to your daddy" eliana stroked my hair "I love you baby, I can wait to see you"
After 9 months.
"Ahh, Andrei I'm going to give birth" I let go of the cup I was holding and quickly ran to the living room. Eliana was holding her stomach and there was running water on her leg.
"Please take care of the children" I shouted then lifted my wife.
"Relax eli, relax"
"If you're here? You're teasing me Andrei you're annoying" I wanted to scratch my head at what my wife said but I chose to hold my wife's hand tightly
"Aahhh!"
"Push one more," said the doctor. In a few moments, Eliana released our child and the doctor announced his gender.
"It's a boy." He immediately handed our son to the nurse and repositioned him at Eliana's feet which surprised me.
What the?
"Ready Eliana, Push okay?" My wife nodded, I was still holding her hand even though I was confused.
"Congrats Eliana, Andrei.It's a boy again"
"S-surprise hubby" I kissed her forehead multiple times
"I love you, Thank you" That was the last word she heard before she lost her consciousness
"Gabriella, stay away from Cairo, I don't want him for you" From outside Gabriella's room I could hear the voice of my son Gabriel
"Brother, we just understand okay?" I closed my eyes to what my daughter said. She's just 18 years old. Do you have a mutual understanding? If my wife knows this, She'll get mad.
"Listen to me, to us your brothers. We know what's the best for you"
"Kuya is right ate, Listen" Ethan said
"Just let me this time brother please?" If I decide. I will never allow it. She's our princess and she's only a teenager for me. In fact, she only feels infatuated.
"Ate Gab, If mom and dad knows this. They will be angry with you. Also, you know mom's history. She doesn't get to easily trust someone. Especially us, Mom and dad always protect us. Mom doesn't like to repeat what happened to her before because she doesn't want us to go through what happened to them and dad. Can't you understand what we're pointing at?” and last, Ezekiel enters their conversation.
"I know, But I like him so much." You're not princess.
"Cairo has only been flirting with you for three days so will you answer? Think wisely Gabriella" I sighed, My son is really mad. He is the oldest and he has matured of them all. He only wants the best for his sister's brothers.
"It wasn't at that time brother"
"What? You're only 18 Gabriella and you're getting engaged? How many times do I have to tell you that education is our priority? Understand us please princess"
“I understand you kuya but can’t you understand me? Can't you understand us? "
"Yes, I don't understand you brother. I'm 18! I know what I'm doing"
"No! You don't know!" I entered at the sudden scream of my eldest
"What's goin'on here?" I asked coldly
"N-nothing dad" Gabriella stammered
"Again ... What's going on here?"
"Nothing dad"
"I won't tell dad what we talked about Gabriella but think carefully. I'm just protecting you. We're just protecting our sister. Our princess" Gabriel said coldly and walked out, the twins followed him.
"If you're ready to say princess, Tell to dad okay?" I kissed her forehead and walked away
"Andrei" Eliana shouted loudly. I quickly went down to see my wife.
"What happened?" F-ck! Gabriel had a bruise on his face, Even Ethan and Ezekiel.
"Your son! Fought" My wife held onto her chest.
"Relax, I'm the one to talk to. Just sit there"
"How can I relax? Your three children fought huh? Did I raise you to fight? I raised you well" I caressed my wife's back and she started to cry.
“Mom, Let us explain please?” Gabriel promised
"Of course you have to explain. You are the oldest of them. But you are still the instigator of the fight. Your brothers Gabriel is only fourteen years old but you already know the fight?"
"Mom" They call at once.
"You know I don't want you to fight, Because of my past don't you? We passed your father. But what did you do? You still fought. Can't you understand why? Your father and I are about to die even if we don't fight. When we started fighting I was almost there! I was going to die "
"Stop, I'm the one talking. Ezekiel get some water" I cold command
"Mom Dad, we didn't fight just because of nothing. It's about Gabriella" What?
"What about Gabriella?"
"Ezekiel and I heard the conversation between Cairo and his dad's troops. We told brother gabriel" Ethan explains.
"What conversation?"
"Calm down wife, I'll handle this please?" I begged.
"Cairo just cheated on Gabriella dad" Ezekiel nodded
“So you fought?” My wife said angrily
"Yes mom, I'm sorry" Eliana suddenly stood up and approached Gabriel and pulled him to his feet.
"Eliana, where are you going?" The three of us chased after them
"I didn't take my child for nine months just to beat up my child! I had so much suffering when I got Gabriella pregnant that those naughty men will just kidnap her? You will drive to Andrei's school" The wife said angrily . My children and I looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"How dare you Cairo? Who do you think you are? To beat my son?"
"Mom please stop, Let's go home please?" Gabriella is also here and crying. We caught it crying in front of Cairo.
"No! Stay away from this man! You! Who do you think you are? Do you want me to expel you from this school? Cairo Jimenez?"
"d-don't"
"No? But you beat up my son? And you beat up my boys? Who are you?"
"They took the lead. They were the ones who stumbled. We just retaliated"
"Shouldn't we rush you? You're our sister. You're our princess" My children said angrily.
"Mom please let's go home" Gabriel said crying and,
"No, I didn't carry you in my womb just so that this person would treat you like that."
"I-I'm really sorry Mrs. Buenavntura" Cairo said with a nod
"I want you to expell" I said seriously "But I won't deny you the study. So stay away from my daughter right now" I held it by the collar
"Dad" My kids were equally restrained by me
"I'm sorry brother Gab, Ethan, Ezekiel.Mom Dad" Gabriella said first when we got home
"I'm not forbidding you to fall in love, but not now? Please understand children."
"Yes mom, I'm sorry" We both hugged our sons and daughter and cry silently.
"I love you Eliana Bartolome Buenaventura" I kissed her soft lips
"I love you too Andrei Buenaventura" She sweetly replied.
We're now 55 years old.My mom and dad died when I was 50 years old. Our first born is now 27 years old and happily married. While my princess is now engaged to Jeremiah and soon to be married in a few months from now .Ethan and Ezekiel have girlfriends and we're so happy to see that our children are happy. They finally reached their dreams. Gabriel is now a Professional Engineer, Gabriella is now Professional Chef, Ethan is now handling our business and Ezekiel is now a doctor.
They will never forget us. They are always here every Saturday to Sunday. Bonding with us and reminiscing about our past. I realized that True love is sacrifice. Just like my wife did to me. She sacrificed herself for me. To me that did nothing but hurt her. It's a commitment not just a feeling towards a person.
Love is not possible without Sacrifice and Sacrifice is not possible without Love.
True love is not just a sacrifice, it's about always finding the perfect reason to sacrifice anything for your loved ones. It's consistent selflessness.
This is how our story end.Loving each other is endless. Accepting each other's imperfections and trusting ourselves. We don't need to be perfect person, We need to be better person. Life is short, Make it memorable ...
