In Between

Epilogue

Tumayo naman kami agad ni Richard and he hold my hand going to the stage. The emcee give us microphone tapos pumunta na sya sa gilid.

"Hi. Good evening." Nahihiya pang sabi ni Richard.

"Ano ba yan para namang bading to." We heard John shouted kaya natawa naman ang mga bisita pati kami.

"Loko." Richard said.

Tumikhim naman sya before letting out a deep breath. I know hindi nya rin maintindihan yung nararamdaman nya tonight. This is a very special milestone for our daughter and I know how scared he is with Symphony's milestones in life, feeling nya kasi mawawala na anak dahil lumalaki na ito.

"Well, first I like to., no we would like to send our deepest gratitude to all of you here tonight who will witness another milestone of my baby Sisi." He said and glance to our daughter. "Anak, you know how much I love you. Naiinis kana nga minsan kapag feeling mo bini-baby na naman kita palagi mong rason you're a big girl na pero kahit maging seventy kana or one hundred baby pa din kita. Honey, you know how possessive daddy is to you. Ikaw kasi yung naging light namin ni mommy mo that time when even a small sign of light hindi namin makita."

Naiiyak na ako dahil sa sinasabi ni Richard. Bigla kong naalala lahat ng nangyari twenty years ago, where the light is really hard to see pero everything change when Symphony is born. Richard is right she is the light, our light.

"Ikaw yung naging way para maging mas open minded kami specially me, na dapat we should always learn to forgive and forget. Diba nga sa mga special days mo when you are still a little one doon slowly naaayos ang lahat. That's is because of you anak, because me and mommy wants you to have a happy family. And I'm thankful that naibigay naman namin sayo at sa mga kapatid mo. Honey, thank you for always being a good girl and daughter to everyone and specially to us ni mommy mo. Thank you also because you've been a very caring, understand and loving to your siblings lalo na sa kambal." Richard said and give a glance to our thirteen years old twins, Monica and Micheal.

Yup, after five years of trying God finally grant our everyday and every night wish to have a baby again pero sadyang malakas kami kay Lord at kambal pa talaga ang ibinigay nya.

I can still remember how happy Symphony and Miggy specially Richard -who's been dying to have a baby again- when I told them that we're having a baby again.

During the whole process halos ayaw ng umalis ni Miggy and Sisi sa tabi ko because they're really excited. Lalo na si Richard na halos dalhin nalang sa bahay ang mga office work nya kasi gusto nyang lagi lang sa bahay just to be with me and the baby.

Mas lalo pang naging mas masaya when we learn that we're having a twins. A girl and boy twins. That moments are very priceless.

"Thank you for always guiding them specially when mommy and I is not around and Kuya Miggy also. I know Kuya Miggy also is thankful for you lalo na kung minsan na a-amaze nalang sya sayo because you act and talk very mature." Tumingin naman sya kay Miggy who's smiling beside his fiancé.

Isa pa yan sa hindi ko masyadong matanggap. Time really flies so fast, hindi ko namamalayan na malaki na si Miggy. Minsan iniisip ko sya pa rin yung first baby namin na maliit. Pero now, his a successful engineer and next year he will be starting to build his own family.

"Princess, please always know that we love you. I love you so much na minsan nagseselos na si mommy because akala nya I forget na about her." He said that make us giggle. "Honey, your officially a lady now. Gusto ko na wag mo sanang kalimutan lahat ng itinuro namin ni mommy mo sayo even mga lolo and lola mo, tita and tita and mga ninong and ninang because we all just want you to be better. Your on legal age now, BUT, please, NO BOYFRIEND pa din. I will repeat NO BOYFRIEND. Don't want you to have a boyfriend already because daddy is not yet ready. Parang awa mo na anak wag muna. Hindi ko pa nga natatanggap that your Kuya Miggy is getting married na so please wag na wag muna talaga." Natawa naman kami sa sinabi nya lalo na nung napakamot nalang si Miggy sa ulo nya dahil sa sinabi ng daddy nya.
