章 44: RDD 43
Chapter 43
After Penelope helped Sophia choose her toy, which as expected was Barbie, we decided to return to Corazon's house.
It was 9:30 by the time we were done. December 24th was obviously a busy day and we saw a lot of people walking around.
When we arrived at the city hall, Simeon and his tricycle were waiting for us.
"I'm sorry. Have you been waiting long, brother?" Penelope asked.
"No, I just got here," Simeon said, putting two kilos of pork chops on the tricycle.
Pork was one of the main sources of meat in the Philippines, along with chicken. In fact, cow and goat meat were not usually eaten. They were expensive, unlike pork and chicken.
"It looks like you had a good time. That's good." He smiled and rubbed Sophia's head. The little girl giggled as she let Simeon pat her.
"Then let's go home."
"Okay."
Early in the morning, we accomplished what we needed most. We deposited the money safely in the bank and spent our time together. We ate at a famous restaurant... Well, a famous fast food restaurant, and bought Pokemons and other toys.
Seeing my kids happy with what they got made me happy too. We returned to the house smiling.
....
....
...
When we got there, everyone was already awake and getting ready for Christmas.
-- mmweekk--!
"Ah--!"
Sophia almost yelped as a sudden scream came through.
"M- mommy, what's that?"
"Honey, don't worry about it. It's just noise."
Penelope hushed and rocked Sophie to calm her. Sophia nodded reluctantly, though she was scared and curious.
"Looks like Father's killing the goats." Simeon shrugged after seeing the little girl's reaction.
"Goats?"
I was surprised.
Is that how a goat screams when it is being slaughtered? I have only heard a pig's deafening scream, but never a goat's.
I was also very curious.
"Is that how goats scream?"
Roman was curious as well.
"Yes."
"Dad, I want to see it!"
Huh?
I frowned at Roman. Was he really curious to see a goat being killed?
I was young when I first saw a chicken being slaughtered. And to be honest, I felt nothing. Instead of feeling sad about the chicken's death, I felt grateful that I had a delicious chicken to eat.
My past self was born in the middle class family, and our life was never easy.
Have you ever eaten a bowl of rice with only salt in it? I have.
There were times when I had to drink water because it was the only thing we had. Even eating three times a day was a blessing. Hell, I even salvaged food from garbage dumps.
So eating meat was a luxury when I was young. Fortunately, my father decided to work overseas just to give us a good life. I respect my father a lot, I know how hard it was to work in a foreign country where you don't speak the language.
Just to give us a better life, my father did everything.
Suddenly, a single tear rolled from my eye. I remembered those moments... I miss my parents, I feel guilty that I never repay my parents. My heart felt heavy.
"Honey?"
Penelope looked worried as she approached me.
"No, I'm fine."
Look at me. The subject ranged from goats being killed to my past family. Sometimes my inner monologue jumped really far.
"Hm." Penelope nodded, but it was obvious that she was worried.
"I won't stop Roman, but Sophia is not allowed."
Roman was already old and he understood the reason why we were killing goats.
"Okay, Dad." Roman ran off and went to his grandfather.
I carried our things and took Sophia back to the room.
Sophia yawned and closed her eyes weakly. She is a baby and usually sleeps every afternoon. Penelope prepared her little bed and laid Sophia down. The little girl slept peacefully. Maybe she was happy to have another Barbie.
"Are you okay, honey?"
After making sure Sophia was asleep, Penelope approached me with concern. She hugged me from behind.
"I'm fine. I just remembered something."
I shrugged as she wrapped her arms around me. I held her hands.
"I love you."
"I love you too." I smiled at that.
People said that saying "I love you" to your loved ones was awkward, embarrassing and cringe. But in my opinion, being honest with my wife was the best decision I ever made in my life.
I will never get tired of telling her how much I love her.
I turned and faced my wife. Then I kissed her from her forehead to her lips.
My lips touched hers for a millisecond. Then my wife advanced and kissed me tenderly. We began to make out in the room.
"Mmm~" She gasped weakly.
Of course, we didn't go that far. We are adults. It would be stupid to make out while our daughter is sleeping next to us. As her parents, we want to show her proper parenting.
"I'm going to look for Roman."
"Hm." Penelope nodded.
She was breathing heavily after an intense kiss. She smiled at me and hugged me again.
For unknown reasons, my hands were possessed by the devil. I unconsciously grabbed her ass and gripped the cheeks!
"!!!"
Penelope was surprised and almost pushed me away. But maybe she remembered that I was depressed, so she stayed still and let me feel.
"I'm sorry, I never know my hands will do it."
I immediately apologized, but when I saw Penelope with teary eyes and a bright red face, I swallowed hard.
"Go." She muttered and I decided to leave.
We both know that if we take one more step, there is a chance that we will do it until the end.
... I don't know if it's a good thing that I have a condom in my wallet or not.
I smiled bitterly... I need to rest for a few seconds to calm my 'nerves'.
