The Happy Family

There is nothing happier when there is a happy and complete family.

Has father.

Has mother.

And most of all have children. Because I know that in the society we live in. A couple cannot be called a family without children.

This is how I felt when I came home. I am with our son David who is none other than David Ilustre-Lucero, Jr. I felt mixed that morning.

I feel nervous.

I had feared.

I had doubts.

David may not accept everything about what I did. He could reject me and abhor me. But heaven seemed to bless me. Because when David saw me holding a baby after the main door opened.

His eyes were asking deeply. I could see it clearly when he blinked as if trying to figure out if what he was seeing was true. But in the end, the heart desire to have a child prevailed. Because gradually the reflection and reaction of his face changed.

The first time I saw that there was a brightness on David's face after a long time since the accident happened, my uterus had been damaged until he rebuked me with a child that I could not afford to give.

"Dayan, what does that mean?"

"Who is that baby?"

"Why are you carrying it?" David repeatedly asked me looking at our son's face. That didn’t go far enough to grab his attention because our son was a carbon copy of David. It captures David's sharp nose that I liked to squeeze during the times when we were still sweet tender with each other and not yet addicted to women.

I know David's voice and face are full of wonder. I feel that the excitement and happiness it feels are more intense with the arrival of our bundle of joy.

Our Sonshine.

“Love, he is our son. David Ilustre-Lucero, Jr. Finally, our long-held dream has come true. This is a dream come true to have a happy and complete family. ”I smiled but my tears never stopped as I spoke. It was tears of joy.

"How did it happen?"

"I can't believe this." David walks in front of me holding his neck. I understand why he is acting like this. Maybe just out of a rush of shock and emotion.

“Love, it was a long story. Please can you hold our son first? ” I am glad without a doubt that David took our son. I was guided to sit both on a long sofa in our spacious living room.

“Love, do you remember when we were in college. Didn’t we have fun freezing our egg cells and sperm cell? That’s the time when we were lucky to win a raffle? This is the fruit of our love. I wasn't the only one who carried David in the womb because we knew that my uterus was damaged when we had the accident. ”I look back in shed tears.

“But I did everything, David so I could to get the baby to develop properly through the IVF procedure. Another woman's womb carried him nine months. Don't worry, I didn't spend our savings. Because I spent my own money. ”

“Money was not a big deal for me. The most important thing to me is to fulfill our dream of having a child. I know this is what you have long been asking of me. So! here is our son David. He came from us. He is the fruit of the seed of our love. ” I don’t know where I get the courage, to tell the truth to David. But I am ready to face and accept whatever word and rebuke I received from David.

“Dayan, why didn't you consult me first on what my opinion is or if I agree? I’m your husband, Dayan. ” I was not mistaken in my suspicion because I was greeted by David's earnest gaze. But I wasn’t too scared because I noticed that the expression of his pale eyes was also softening and the facial expression was soothing.

"David, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you about this," I said honestly while looking straight into David's eyes. I also gently caressed both of his cheeks my way to calm his mood.

“But thank you so much, wife for giving me this child. I owe your sacrifices. I’m sorry for what I have done to you. ” David’s tight hug was enough to make us forget the pain of the past and we would start again with our son.

"I love you, both," David said passionately and kissed me hard on the lips. That night a warm moment was repeated between David and me. While asleep our son took advantage of the opportunity to taste the sweetness of love. David still hasn’t changed. He's good at romance with me. He always tickles me. David watered me repeatedly. At the same time, I play with his cactus which is delicious. He also licked my delicious cheese a few times. David says that blending delicious of salty and sweetness of cheese by Dayan Ilustre-Ilagan, his wifey.

In the days that followed, our family became even happier. The situation is different now. The four corners of our home are always noisy. When David, Jr. cried. David and I wondered who would get along and carry David. We were excited to wake up at dawn to change a diaper. Even the sweetness of our sleep as long as David, Jr. cried. We can't help but get up to prepare David, Jr.'s milk.

David and I felt that all the hardships and vigilance were ignored as long as it was for our son. I was not disappointed in my dream of returning the warmth and sweetness of our romance. Itb is true to say that a child does something different for a couple. This is the biggest connection and inspiration of the couple.

We also often go out of town. Maybe in a month about three times, we go somewhere else.

Just like now. We are here at Manggahan Resort in the town of Plaridel, Bulacan. We enjoyed picking mango fruits that were so sweet. We had no trouble picking because the trees were only low. While riding in the crib David, Jr. and pushed by David. I was tied to David's waist. I have a basket with me and I put the picked mangoes there. I only choose the mango I pick. It's fun to pick brittle and ripe mangoes. It is also amazing to look at the mango tree. The place is shady and cold. We could feel the scent of the air blowing through my long hair. It's nice to wander around the resort. There are also fish ponds where you can also fish and harvest live tilapia. If you also want to grill fish, the grilling area is available. If you want to eat while strolling around the resort, the floating lake restaurant is also available.

“Love, but you know I admire the woman who carried David in her womb.” I didn’t expect to hear this word from David. We are on our way home from the outing. David was driving when I looked at him.

“Love, Yes! naman. Cara is kind and our friendship deepened after she gave birth to David. ”I replied to David as I took a piece of grapes and put it in David's mouth. Maybe there's nothing wrong with my wife asking about Cara. Naturally, it just wants to say thank you too.

"Of course, I know she's very kind," David said inwardly, which surprised me even more. Why does my husband say this? Cara and I will never meet.

"Love, did you know her?" I asked staring into David's eyes as if laughing.

“Nope. It was no joke that she carried the child in her womb. ”David defended

“Yes! I knew! But she was not at a loss for what happened. Because his brother was treated. The beauty of her body figure was restored. I gave her other incentives. We both just benefited. She got what she wanted. I also got what I wanted. That’s enough for me. ”

David didn't say a word to me and just continued driving. I also fell asleep on the trip as well as cheered in the back seat. When I woke up we were in front of our house. A light shake on my shoulder finally woke me up.

It was past 3:08 in the morning when I woke up. I would have hugged David but the soft pillow I hugged made my eyes widen. It didn't bother me to get up. I was about to enter the comfort room when I looked up at the terrace. I heard a faint voice. I had a curiosity to approach the edge of the curtain blocking the glass door. I just stood there listening to the faint whisper. But I am not satisfied with what I am doing. So what I did was I slowly pulled back the curtain. I saw that David was talking on the phone.

I bit my lip. Maybe it's just business matters. David can no longer be foolish especially now that we have a child. But Dayan… at three in the morning will get up and someone will call. What does it mean? a call center agent? Take note that my husband is a mechanical engineer. Clients are definitely asleep at this time.

Is she right in thinking that her husband still doesn't stop being a womanizer?

"Dayan, please remove the negative idea." My advice to myself. Before I went back to our bed. I had already chastised myself that what I saw meant nothing.

We are happy.

No problem.

David, Jr. that is our stronghold of David.

We can't be br

oken up and broken just because of the woman.
