If Our Love Is Wrong (Villa Martinez Series #1) Special Chapter

by rejmartinez

    "Attorney Navarro."

Pareho kaming lumingon ni Kristoff sa tumawag. Pagkatapos ay napatingin kami sa isa't isa at bahagya na lang natawa.

When did I become a Navarro again? Since I married Kristoff.

Napangiti na lang ako at tumango sa kanya nang magpaalam siyang kakausapin lang muna sandali ang isang bagong attorney sa firm.

Pagkatapos ay tumuloy na kaming mag-asawa para puntahan ang anak namin sa school. May award na naman si Toffie sa school. Parang nasasanay na nga kami ni Kristoff na palaging umaakyat ng stage dahil sa achievements ng anak namin. And of course we were proud of our son. Nakakatuwa nga dahil gusto rin daw ni Toffie na maging lawyer paglaki gaya namin ng daddy niya. Pero alam din namin ni Kristoff na puwede pa iyong magbago. Toffie was just seven.

"Mommy! Daddy!" salubong sa amin ng anak namin when we arrived at their school.

Naroon na rin ang teacher niya. I smiled and greeted Toffie's adviser. Pagkatapos ay tumungo na kami para tanggapin ang honor ni Toffie. He was already the top of his class at a young age. I remembered Kristoff before. Ganito rin siya noong mga bata pa kami. Ang talino talaga. While I had to study really hard at kailangan pang tutor because I wasn't as smart as him. And then I remembered tinutulungan din niya ako noong mag-aral.

There were times when Kristoff and I were still kids and I'd tell him that I was already tired of studying and that I could never be as intelligent as him. And that I couldn't do things. He would not agree to what I said and instead, minsan, kahit pagod na rin siyang mag-aral ay tutulungan pa rin niya ako.

Before I thought I was very lucky having Kristoff as my older brother. He was also my best friend kahit madalas niya akong asarin noon. He was protective of me. Palaging ako ang inuuna niya. I remembered also when I had to go home from school because I wasn't really feeling well at that time. Kristoff went home with me that day, missing his test.

Pinagalitan pa nga siya noon nina Mommy at Daddy. But he said he didn't regret it because he needed to take care of me...

Those good childhood memories together... Akala ko noon, nagpapakaresponsableng kuya lang siya sa akin.

Pero nang minsan naming balikan ang mga bagay na ito—sometimes when we were already on our bed and preparing to sleep beside each other, ang sabi sa akin ni Kristoff ay noon pa man daw ay may iba na siyang nararamdaman para sa akin. He just couldn't point it directly but he knew even then that I was special. To him.

Kung hindi siguro kami nagkahiwalay noon sa aksidente sa barko at hindi ko nalaman na hindi talaga kami tunay na magkapatid, I might not look at him other than my brother.

So... I think everything just really happened for a reason.

Alangan namang nangyari lang ang mga bagay? Surely there was a reason to our every tear shed... To every pain and heartache. Sabi nila, hindi raw palaging masaya ang buhay.

Well, I would say, hindi rin palaging malungkot ang buhay.

There's happiness everywhere, even despite the hard times that you're going through. Just hold on and don't easily let go. Just hang in there. Everything would be fine.

Ngiting-ngiti si Toffie sa medals niya. Tuwang-tuwa. He deserved it. He worked hard for it. Plus Kristoff was also helping him despite being busy with our job. Bumabawi talaga siya sa anak namin. Kayang-kaya niyang iwan ang kahit na ano basta malaman niyang kailangan siya ng anak namin. Kristoff was a good father. I could see that. And he deserved another child.

Napangiti ako. Kristoff's reaction when I told him that we were having our second child was priceless. Naiyak pa nga siya nang kaunti. Tinawanan ko na lang siya. Masaya rin sina Mommy at Daddy sa isa pang blessing na dumating sa amin. Ganoon din si Papa when I also told him the news.

"Toffie's school is done for now," Kristoff said.

I turned to him and nodded. "Yeah, time for vacation?"

He nodded and smiled.

Ngumiti rin ako. We made sure that we always had time for our family. Kaya nga hindi pa rin nagtatayo ng sariling law firm si Kristoff. I would support him with anything, as long as hindi makakasama sa kanya at sa pamilya namin.

He said maybe in the future. Ayaw kasi ni Kristoff na sa trabaho na halos maubos ang oras niya. He said that our family was his priority. Ganoon din naman ako. Tinapos ko na rin nga ang lahat ng mga kailangan bago ko iwan na muna pansamantala ang trabaho. Para tuloy-tuloy na itong bakasyon namin. Kailangan, to make sure na healthy itong ipinagbubuntis ko. We wouldn't want to risk it. We knew that our work as lawyers could be really stressful, too.

Dinala muna namin si Toffie sa favorite niyang fast-food restaurant para i-celebrate na rin ang bago niyang achievement, bago kami umuwi sa bahay at mag-pack na rin for our family trip.

"Can I bring this?" Sumilip si Toffie sa kuwarto namin ni Kristoff. He showed us another thing na gusto niyang dalhin sa vacation namin.

I was preparing our luggage. Kakalabas lang naman ni Kristoff sa bathroom with his pajamas at nagpupunas ng basa niyang buhok. He went to our son and they talked.

Napangiti ako at napailing. Ang daming gustong dalhin ni Toffie. Gusto pa niyang dalhin ang toys niya at ilang books.

Ewan ko ba sa batang 'to.

"But I want to bring them, Daddy..

Kristoff sighed before he nodded. Lihim na lang akong natawa. Ang dami tuloy naming dadalhin.

Sa Villa Martinez lang naman kami uli magbabakasyon.

At pupunta na rin sa mga kumupkop noon kay Kristoff.

Miss ko na rin sina Era at ang nanay at tatay niya. Noong nakaraang katawagan namin sila ay miss na nila ang apo nila. Granoon din naman si Toffie. Kaya doon muna kami sa kanila tumuloy bago sa villa.

"Toffie!" Tuwang-tuwa si Nanay at agad niyakap at hinagkan ang apo nang salubungin nila kami.

Agad naging abala ang pamilya kay Toffie na marami ring baong kuwento para sa lolo, lola, at tita niya.

Tatay helped Kristoff sa mga dala namin. Habang kinumusta na rin ako nina Nanay at Era at sa pagbubuntis ko.

Napahawak ako sa tiyan na maliit pa naman pero medyo may umbok na rin. I was smiling as I conversed with them.

Nagpalipas lang kami ng oras na nagkukuwentuhan hanggang maghapunan. After dinner ay nagpahinga na rin kami sa dating kuwarto ni Kristoff.

The next day, I woke up to my son giving early Christmas gifts to the children here. Doon ko lang naintindihan kung bakit ang dami niyang gustong dalhin. It warmed my heart seeing my son doing it for the other children.

Napangiti na lang ako. Sa pabalik-balik namin dito, he already gained friends.

Kristoff was also helping his son distribute the old toys, clothes, and books that were taken care of. Pagkatapos ay dumating si Era na may dalang mga pagkain galing sa favorite fast-food restaurant ni Toffie. Nautusan na rin siguro ni Kristoff. And they also started giving the meals to the kids.

Lumapit na ako sa kanila at tumulong.

Bumaling sa akin si Kristoff. "It's his idea, tukoy niya kay Toffie.

I swiftly kissed his cheek. "And you are a very supportive dad." I told him. Ngumiti ako.

Ngumiti lang din siya.

I called Toffie. Pagkatapos ay hinagkan ko rin ang anak ko nang makalapit siya sa amin ng daddy niya. "Good job!" He only giggled a bit at nakiliti rin sa halik ko. Kristoff also chuckled watching us.

Maybe our son would also be a lawyer in the future.

Ngayon pa lang ay nakikita ko na sa kanya ang kagustuhan niyang makatulong sa iba kahit sa maliit na bagay. He knew what these kids need and he was willing to share not just his things but also his knowledge. Nakikita namin siya ni Kristoff habang parang nagle-lecture na rin siya sa mga kapwa bata.

Bahagya na lang kaming natawa ni Kristoff.

Our day continued with the children, Toffie's friends.

Agad akong napangiti nang makitang malapit na kami sa isla sakay pa lang ng bangka. This place was where Kristoff and I really started. Saan kami unang nagkakilala bilang si Andrea at Tisoy.

I remembered how I was a bit annoyed at him then. And then slowly I softened and then we fell in love... This place was such a beauty. As beautiful as the love Kristoff and I started here. Palagi naming babalikan ang lugar na ito.

Inalalayan ako ni Kristoff sa pagbaba ng bangka.

Pagkatapos ay kinuha niya ang anak namin na excited lumangoy agad. I just laughed a bit.

"We're here again." Kristoff gave me a beautiful smile.

Ngumiti rin ako at kontentong tumango. Pinakatitigan ko siya sandali. "I love you," I told him with all my heart's content. It felt more special saying those words to him here in this place.

"I will always love you," he said as if saying his vow over again, gaya noong sa kasal din namin noon dito sa lugar na ito. Sandali niya akong hinalikan sa noo, and lovingly touched the still small baby bump on my belly.

Magaan akong ngumiti at hawak-kamay kaming sumunod na rin sa anak naming nauuna at halos nagtatakbo na. Ang kulit din talaga. Napapailing ako pero may ngiti pa rin sa mga labi.

Sinalubong kami ng ilang staff ng resort. May magandang ngiti sa mga labi nila para sa mga guest.
