Late Night Conversations..

I don’t blog.

I had done it once and posted it before my dramatic civil wedding in 1996 but after that no more.

But after last night, here I am writing about the sweetest moment in my life, wanting the worldwide web to know about it.

(If my hubby will know about this, he’ll probably kill me but then I am confident that he will forgive me. After all, he loves me that much…)

Well, I am talking about late night conversations in bed between husband and wife that couples tend to forget as years of togetherness goes by. Conversations that don’t exactly lead to making love, but conversations that comes straight from the heart.

Eed and I have been married for 4 years now and have been blessed with 2 sons already. Because of so many things to do being a wife and a mother or him being a husband and a father, oftentimes, late night conversations that I am talking about are becoming less and less to happen.

Last night was an exception.

It was just an ordinary night, no special occasions and the night air is humid. Stars are scarce and there is possibility of rain. We came home late, at around 9:45, after having dinner at the resort with his family in Cantilan. Qb, our eldest was already asleep while Zach noisily sucks his thumb (he’s four months old) one of his favorite activities before going to sleep.

After preparing-for-bed-routine was done, I lay down on my side of the bed (yes, we have our own sides now that we have 2 children to look upon) while he was watching TV on his other side. I thought of watching TV too for a while before closing my eyes when I feel his weight on my side. He transferred Zach to the other side so he could lie down beside me. My mind was racing, I thought of saying No before he could ask for sex. I’m not in the mood for it. But surprisingly, he just holds my hand and put my head in his arms. We stayed like that for 15 minutes while watching Shaun the Sheep (QB’s favorite cartoon TV show at Disney Channel).

Silence (and Shaun the Sheep) could never be sweeter at that moment.

And then suddenly he whispers in my ear, “ngit, Salamat sa tanan. Lucky ako karajaw to have you as my wife. Salamat for giving me QB and Zach. I could not ask for anything more because you have given me everything. I love you so much”

Words so simple yet so meaningful to me. I am deeply touched. Bliss, pure love and contentment is what I feel at that moment. We stayed at each others arms until dawn talking about anything until our eyes dropped with pleasure in our hearts.

Happiness, such sweet happiness engulfs me last night.
