MARA'S POV
After our misunderstanding last night, Maru decided to spend our weekends in Tagaytay.
As per him, we need to have as much quality time as possible because when the child comes out for sure it will limit our time together because our main focus by that time is our child.
Everything is perfect. It's too perfect that sometimes it scares me. People say that when you are too happy, something bad will happen.
"Are you okay wife?"
I look at my husband who's driving our way to Tagaytay.
I smiled at him. "I'm okay. I'm just kind of scared because what is happening with our family now is too perfect."
I honestly told him.
His forehead creased. "Why are you feeling scared?"
"Well, there's a saying that when you are too happy it means that something bad will happen," I explained to him.
He caught my hand and squeezed it. "Don't overthink wife. Happiness is a choice. Sometimes the people are the problem. Overthinking make things complicated."
I smile and just chose to look at the scenery.
Overthinking makes things complicated. That's been my hobby since I was young, I always overthink.
Is it the reason why I feel like my life is always complicated?
Am I making my life complicated?
We arrived safely in Tagaytay.
Maru never let go of my hand. He sometimes squeezed it when he felt like I'm in deep thinking.
Maru can easily read me. Sometimes it is so hard to keep something from him. Which makes me love him more.
It was already one in the afternoon when we reached Tagaytay. So we decided to have our lunch first.
Since it was raining, we decided to eat Bulalo for our lunch.
The servings took a little longer but it's okay because we are enjoying the view. We can see the famous Taal Volcano from our place.
I have my Instax with me. I love collecting pictures, it's like you are also collecting memories.
After our picture taking, finally, the food is served.
Bulalo is one of my favorite dishes. The taste is okay, but I think my bulalo is better than this.
"I like your bulalo more, wife."
I smile upon hearing my husband's compliment.
I agree. I know that he is telling the truth.
"If you want to have a restaurant here, for sure this place will go bankrupt."
I chuckled. "Maru stop that! Bulalo is the only dish that I can cook perfectly, other dishes are just fine but not outstanding enough to make other restaurants go bankrupt."
I did my best to perfect that dish because it's my favorite. 
"You can hire a chef for other dishes. Bulalo will be the signature dish of your restaurant." He said trying to convince me. 
"Maru I'm already happy with AGC," I said. 
He nodded respecting my decision.
"I know. I heard from dad that you are so passionate about handling your business. But my wife always remembers that I'm always here to help you. Especially when you give birth to our child, I can take care of AGC. That's why you can't work too much okay?" He reminded me.
I just smiled at him.

After our lunch, we went to a grocery store to buy food and other things that we will be needing for this weekend trip.
"Wife let's have bulalo for dinner." He said while looking for some meat.
"We just ate bulalo a while ago hon."
"I didn't like it." He shrugged.
"You're so mean! It tastes good."
"Not as good as your dish. Please, wife."
I can't help but smile. He looks so cute.
"Fine. Looks like my husband is being sweet now."
I saw him blush.
"Did you just blush hon?" I teased him.
He just smiled and caught my hand and kiss it.
We are done doing the grocery. We filled the whole big basket, to think that we are only having an overnight here.
"We should do this every weekend hon." My husband suggested.  
"Go here in Tagaytay?"
He pinched my nose. "No silly. This is grocery bonding. It will be more fun when we do this with our child."
He said then his hand went on my tummy.
I smile while imagining our family.
***
It was already 3 pm when we reached the rest house of the Ottave.
It looks very homey.
My favorite spot is the dining area facing taal.
It's my first time here. Maru's family invited us here before but I refuse because I know that Jana will be on his birthday. And I don't want to ruin his day.
Thinking that they build memories in this place makes my heartache. But I stop myself from thinking such a thing. I don't want to ruin our weekend.
He already told me that he loves me and I think that's enough.
I started preparing the food that my husband requested. Cooking bulalo will take time to finish.
I'm almost done with my dish when Maru suddenly popped up.
He hugs me from the back and looks at the dish that I made.
"It smells delicious."
I furrowed because his nose is in my neck.
"Maru are you referring to the dish or my neck?"
"Both." He chuckled and then plant a quick kiss on my neck.
I bit my lips.
I'm feeling the butterflies in my stomach. Who wouldn't?!
"Stop teasing me Maru! Just go to the dining area I'm almost done with this dish."
"What a snob. Just kiss me then."
My eyes widen when he turned me to face him and gave me a chasing kiss.
"I'll go now to the dining room my lovely wife." He said then gave me a quick kiss.
I was left dumbfounded.

The rain did not stop. I don't think it's safe to travel back to Manila. We've decided to just stay in the resthouse.
We just stay in the living room and watch some movies.
I love horror that's why we chose to watch "Insidious 3."
I kept on screaming not because it looked scary but because I got startled.
The sound effect is so loud especially when the ghost is coming out.
"That will be the last movie hon. Our child might look like them if you keep on watching this type of movie."
I laugh at him. "Seriously?! You believe in those kinds of superstition?"
"I'm not. But there's no harm in following it right? I don't want to regret when you give birth to our child."
I can't help but laugh. "What did you and your girls do here before?" I said teasing him.
He furrowed. "I never bring a girl here except Jana."
I felt something in my heart. But I chose to shove it off.
I force a smile.
"I almost forgot. You never had a girlfriend except her. Did you guys go here often?" I asked casually.
I don't want to fish but my inner self is dominating me.
"Yes. Especially after the exam. It's our way to relax. We used to do a movie marathon too, but we never watch a horror movie because Jana didn't like it."
Ouch, Mara!! That is what you want right? Bear the pain then! Why did you even ask him?!
"Then this place serves as your sanctuary."
I didn't know how did I able to say those words without stammering.
"Hmm maybe? Because every time that she's stressed or has a problem, she often goes here."
"She has the key to this rest house?" I asked. 
"No silly. Manang Lourdes our caretaker already knew her that's why she's free to go here even without me."
I stop myself from asking questions because I'm already at the peak of my emotion.
I might cry in front of him.
Why do I feel like Maru is still longing for her? That him telling me he loves me is nothing compared to what I am seeing now in his eyes. 
His eyes were sparkling while he tells me stories about them.
