Chapter 15: Chapter 15

This is life!

I never thought that married life would be this great.

I thought that my marriage will be like my parent’s marriage.

They are more of a stranger than a couple. They barely talk and bond.

I thank God for this. He never failed in showing me how much He loves me. I wish that it will always be like this. You feel nothing but joy.

Until now, I can’t seem to forget what he just said during our dinner with our parents.

“Marrying her is one of the best things that happened in my life.”

“Wife you are still giggling until now.” He said while back hugging me.

“Of course not!” Trying to deny what he said.

“It has shown in your face wife.”

I rolled my eyes.

“Cocky” I murmur.

“Wife I’m just telling the truth. It's not cockiness.” He defended himself.

I just sighed. I give up, I knew that my giggling is so obvious.

Who wouldn’t right? Even if I knew that he only said that to satisfy our parents but still I can’t help but giggle at what he said.

“Yeah right Mr. Cocky! I feel so touch with what you said in our dinner even if I know that you are not sincere.” I teased him.

His brow raised. “Says who?”

“Huh?” I asked a bit confused.

“Who said that I’m not sincere with what I said in our family dinner?” He said seriously.

“Yeah right.” I just answered.

My husband faces me. He is looking at me intensely.

I suddenly felt nervous with the way he stares at me.

“Everything I said even before is true, wife. I never lied to you.” He said seriously.

I look away. I kind of feel embarrassed and shy with his stares.

“Really?”

He did not answer. He keeps on looking at me as if he’s telling me that if I can’t believe his word then let his eyes do the talking.

“Did marrying me is one of the best things that happened in your life?” I asked.

“Yes.” He said with full of sincerity in his eyes.

I swallowed hard. “Maru...”

He smiled and then touch my face.

“Yes, Mara. I never lied to you. Marrying you is one of the best things that happened in my life. Thank you for marrying me.” He said, and then he gave me a quick but sweet kiss.

“Maru...” that's the only thing that I can say.

I can’t seem to process the things happening right now.

“I love you, Mara.”

My eyes widen with what he just said. My heart beats crazily now. Am I hearing it right?

“Maru...”

He chuckled. “Wife, don’t you have anything to say but my name?”

I can say that he's a bit uneasy and I don't know why.

“I love you too.”

His eyes widen. He didn’t expect my answer.

Now it's my turn to chuckle.

“Say it again Mara” he whispered.

I smirked. “I didn’t know that you're deaf.”

“Wife!”

I laugh hard.

This is the first time I saw him being impatient.

He looks so cute.

“Wife!” I smile and just kiss him on the lips.

“Thanks for the kiss wife. But that's not what I want.” He said just like a child throwing tantrums.

“I love you Mr. Andrew Maru Ottave!”

“I love you more Mrs. Mara Denise Almonte-Ottave!”
