RDD 58



After the kisses, Penelope and I had both been exhausted. That smooches made us breathless. We were breathing heavily, but we were so happy. Penelope leaned on my lap, smiling at me. I also smiled back at her, and I kissed her cheeks and held her hands. 


“We’ll be together forever. I promise,” I said. 


“I love you so much, Penelope. I can’t imagine a day without you.” 


Kinda cringe right? How can a man say this stuff without frowning? Then fuck off! 


I tell you this, a man who's in love will not hesitate to say these cringe sentences. This is based on real experience. 


  

It was at this moment that I knew I had found the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And no matter what happened, I would never give her up.


We continued to smile at each other, and I could feel Penelope's heartbeat in my arms. I was so happy to have her in my life, and I knew she loved me just as much.


I felt an intense sense of connection with Penelope like our souls were intertwined. I felt a deep sense of peace and harmony, and I knew that despite our differences, we would always be there for each other.


I was so grateful to have found her and to have the chance to love her. As we sat together at that moment, I felt happier than I had ever been in my life.


We looked at the scenery... only to see the chickens and ducks moving around. A unique scenery in my opinion. 


My wife snuggled closer while we were sitting and appreciate the view. 


"Hm, let's return to the house. The kids are waiting for us."


I could see that Penelope was worried about the kids. 


"Okay." I nodded and helped her stand. 


We walked next to each other, our hands holding. To be honest, my palm was actually sweating...


As we got closer, we found Sophia and Roman waiting for us. I was not sure how long we were gone but seeing the kids' worried expressions, I guess it was long. 


Sophia was sobbing in her brother's arms, calling her mother. 


"Mama! Mama! Mama! Waaaaa!!"


I wanted to laugh because that was the exact expression that Penelope had earlier. She was crying like a baby, kicking her feet and punching the air. 


Seeing Sophia crying, Penelope burst into another sob and ran to her. 


"Baby~ Mommy's here."


She said but her voice was hoarse. 


When Sophia heard her voice, she stopped crying and looked at her mother. Then, she cried as well. 


"Mommy! What happened to you? You look ugly! Waaahhh--!"


I almost cracked a laugh when Sophia spoke. It was ironic that I was crying earlier yet now I was laughing. 


"Baby, Mommy is just sad." She wiped her face and hugged Sophia, kissing her cheeks to pacify the crying baby. 


"Mommy waaahhh--! Your eyes! They are swollen. Wuuu wuuu!"


Indeed, Penelope had swollen eyes right now. In fact, even her face was swollen. 


"Mommy, ugly wwuuuuwuuu!"


The mother and daughter were crying pitifully. As for me, I just wiped my face. 


Roman approached me with his usual face. Out of all of us, he was the only one who didn't cry. 


"Ah, Roman, your eyes are a bit red."


"Dad, I have red pupils. Of course, my eyes are red."


"No that's not what I mean."


I was wrong. It seemed that even our oldest child was close to breaking as well.


I tapped his shoulder and said, "Son, don't make your mother cry. Do you understand?"


"Dad, your hand is sweaty. Besides, you're the only one who always makes Mom cry."


"..."


I didn't know how to reply. With me being an asshole, I had hurt Penelope so many times. That's why I'm thankful that she didn't leave me. 


"That's right. Son, don't be like me."


I nodded, agreeing with what he said.


"I don't want to be like you, never."


... This kid. 


Anyway, it was not the time to teach Roman a lesson. 


I looked at the pair of mother and daughter. They already stopped crying. They were just hugging, making more tears land on the ground. 


As for Alberto and Corazon, they were just looking far away. They didn't bother disturbing the family time. 


"Sniff, sniff, do you want something to eat? I can cook what you want?"


"Mommy, I miss your chicken adobo." Sophia was the first to answer and we let the small girl decide the dish. 


"Chicken adobo then."


Penelope smiled... To be honest I couldn't see her eyes because they were swollen. Yet it didn't change the fact that my wife is beautiful. 


Penelope and the kids went to the kitchen to start preparing the dish. On the other hand, I approached my in-laws. 


"How's Penelope?"


Corazon asked worriedly. 


"She's fine. She wants to cook food for the kids."


"You are asking for a chicken, right? Come, I'll help you pick one."


Perhaps this was the perk of having a chicken farm, they could eat chickens and eggs just like that. 


Alberto picked a fat hen and helped me bloodlet and pulled the feathers. Roman watched next to us. 


I then chopped the chicken and gave it to Penelope to be cooked. 


Since we woke up late, when the chicken adobo was done, it was already 4 pm. 


We ate them together with my in-laws. Corazon brought the leftovers last night and we feast on them. Our meal was delicious, very delicious. 


After knowing that my wife loves me, I feel like every dish taste good. Heck, I will eat dirt if she served me one.
