The Revenge of the Wife

Four years ago. . .

Ena Marquez Villaurel Point of View

"Mommy! I'm hungry! Wake up! Rick is crying!"

My eyes widened when I heard a shout and a crash outside the door of Cedrick and I's room. I looked at my husband when he moved a little.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked for me. His eyes are full of love and eagerness. He smiled at me, and he grabbed me for a tight hug.

He brought his lips close to my ear and whispered, "Good morning, sweetie. I thought you left me. I love you always, my wife."

I slapped his chest because of the flutter I felt. I giggled and smiled without escaping his eyes.

"I love you, my sweetie. I won't leave you. Remember that. I love you and our kids. Is there any reason for me to leave you?" My eyebrows rose and I looked at him closely. Instead of answering me, he just hugged me and kissed me on the cheeks.

"Mama! Papa! Are you awake?! I'm hungry and Rick too!" Cedrick and I looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.

Our kids are calling for their breakfast.

Cedrick and I have two kids which are twin; a girl and a boy. Their name is Cedrena and Rick Villaurel; four years old. I never thought that it would happen, and I am happy with what I have now.

I got up from my bed. "Get up, sweetie. Our babies are calling, they're hungry."

He pouted and I know what he's asking for. A good morning kiss. I approached him and brought my face close to his. He waited for my kiss but I didn't do it. I put my lips close to his ear and whispered.

"Later, sweetie. Let's take care of the kids first. Okay?" I winked at him while grinning. I know he's disappointed. But I will put the children first. Maybe later, Cedrena and Rick hungry. Because when Cedrick and I started kissing each other, maybe we can go somewhere else.

I opened the door. Cedrena and Rick- my two babies are in tears.

"We've been calling one hundred times, Mama. Why you came out now? Where is papa? Rick and I are very hungry." Cedrena exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, babies. Mama and Papa were tired last night at the company. So Mama woke up late. Sorry babies." I turned my back on Cedrick as he spoke. He followed me.

"Are we going to Grandpa and Grandma's house?" Rick asked as we sat down in the chair to eat breakfast. He is referring to Cedrick's parents.

"Yes, baby. So eat now so we can go to Grandpa and Grandma's house. Then, we will go for a walk in the mall." Cedrick replied to Rick. Cedrena suddenly shouted 'yey' and Cedrick kissed her on the cheek.

Sometimes children are naughty.

"How's that, sweetie? We can't continue going to Medel? Maybe next time?" Cedrick asked me as he raised and lowered his eyebrow while looking at me.

"As always, yes, maybe next time. Besides, it's okay, I miss Aunt Federia and Uncle Fedrilo, too. No problem with that."

The time had passed quickly. I am in the room of my two children, I help them get dressed.

I have a companion, her name is Kida. She is the personal nanny of my son- Cedrick.

"Ma'am, shall I still come with you? Or will I just stay at home?" I looked up at her when she asked me. I smiled.

"Do you want to come or you want to stay here?" I asked her, ignoring what she asked.

She put her hand on her head. It has been a long time, that she wanted to go to Hacienda Villaurel.

"Come with us, I know you want it too. Don't be embarrassed," I said.

"Ma'am? Really?" she consulted in surprise.

I just shook my head while smiling. "Do you want me to take ut back?"

"No, Ma'am. I'm coming." She said then quickly left the twin's room.

I held the twin with my hand. We left their room and went to the living room, where Cedrick was waiting for us.

"I'm so lucky to have a beautiful wife and adorable kids." he greeted with a grin.

"Is that a compliment or other than that?" I pleaded.

"It's a compliment, sweetie." He answered immediately and pinched my waist. I shook my head because of his idiosyncrasy.

"Are we leaving? Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us!" Cedrena frowned.

Cedrick and I looked at her in awe. She pouts then crosses her two arms above her chest. We laughed because of her reaction.

I bent down and messed up her hair. "Our baby is excited. Sorry for that. Come on."

I pulled the two of them over and followed behind Cedrick to the garage where the car was. But I stopped when I remembered something.

"Nanny Kida! Come on! We're leaving!" I shouted as we left the house.

I heard Kida's footsteps as if running in our direction. "Sorry ma'am, it took me a while to fix the equipment."

I looked at her and I gaped at what she was wearing. Her attire is fashionable today. She dressed like going to the beach.

"Where are you going, Kida? At the beach show or the hacienda? You even beat me for what I was wearing."

"Ma'am? Let me be. It's only for once," she replied while laughing. I just shook my head. She is wearing black sunglasses, high heels, and a floral red dress.

"Hey, let's go! Hop in, so we can leave." I commanded her, as I entered in the black Everest car.

"Aye-aye! Ma'am!"

"IT'S good that you and Cedrick were able to visit in this house. We thought you would never visit again. We already missed this twin," said mommy Federia, as we sat in a chair at the dinner table.

We are already eating lunch.

"If you know, Lola. If Rick hadn't asked earlier, they would not have remembered that we are coming here today," Cedrena reported.

Cedrick and I looked at each other and whirled our heads.

Daddy Federilo and mommy Federia raised an eyebrow. "If it weren't for these two kids, you wouldn't remember that you will visit here," daddy Federilo brought out.

"Nope, Dad. We just really forgot. But it was good that Rick asked a question earlier, so we remembered. It doesn't we already here. If you want, we visit here once a week." Cedrick suggested as if he was not busy at his company.

"You said that Cedrick huh?"

"Yes, Dad. You know me." Then laughter filled the whole house.

"The twins are going to study next month. Do you and your husband have any plans about that?" Mommy Federia began again asking me.

"Ahm, yes. Cedrick and I will send them to a private school." I replied.

"It's a good idea, Federilo and I will be good and blissful for the safety of our grandson and granddaughter," Mommy reacted happily.

"Don't leave the twin," added daddy Federilo.

"Yes, Dad. As you wish for." Cedrick replied.

Cedrick and I were sitting while watching the twins playing in the garden of the mansion.

"I never thought we would have a twin child." Cedrick began. I looked at him and stared intently at his face.

I didn't expect it either." I hold his hand. "Thank you." Then hugged him tightly.

I love my husband Cedrick awfully. I will die when he disappears from my side.

"We are just the same, thank you too and you gave me a child like them." He said.

I smiled and let go of him.

"That's not it. We gave birth to the twin. I love those twins, maybe my world will be destroyed when they disappear from my life." I concluded.

He hugged me from behind and put his chin down. He leans on my shoulder.

"Will, your world be destroyed too if I disappear?" He asked unexpectedly.

"Of course, you and our kids are both important in my life," I replied passionately.

"Thank you, Ena. You are also important in my life. I love you. I love you so much. I can't abide to lose you in my life."

"Don't worry. I will never be lost in your life. I love you so much. I love you so damn much."

Then he kissed me on the lips.

I hurried into my office. There is a lot of work on my desk. I have my boutique- Miss P. Boutique. It also has many branches in different parts of the world.

"Ma'am, you have a guest. They are waiting in the lobby." My secretary reported to the intercom.

I pressed the intercom before speaking. "Alright, thank you. Please tell them to wait for a few minutes."

I got up and arranged the papers scattered on the desk. I started walking towards the door, carrying my small pouch bag.

I went to the lobby and two people were waiting for me with a kid. I frowned, wondering who they are.

"Medel ?! Deigo ?!" I was shocked when I known them.

I hugged them immediately due to the excitement that I felt.

"Friend! You're really beautiful! You're even younger!" Medel said, at the same time losing my hug with her.

"You too, you get younger and look better. It's not just me." I said as I spanked her arm at the same time.

I did not expect, now that Medel and I are back here. "You never said that you are here so that I'll pick you up at the airport."

"It's okay, my friend." Medel smiled at me at the same time.

"Come to my office, I will text Cedrick first that you are here. So that the four of us can talk and get along." I smiled at them while wiggling my eyebrows.

"By the way, this your son? Liance Salvador?" I asked with a smile as they sat on the sofa in my office. The boy looked at me and smiled as if he already knew me.

"Yes, friend. He is. Do not wonder why he seems to know you. Deigo and I often tell him stories about you and Cedrick." I nodded at Medel's explanation.

"How are you and Cedrick, Ena? The twin; how about them?" Deigo suddenly asked.

I turned to him, then glance at him.

He seemed surprised when I gazed at him. "It's good that you now speaking. I thought you would be quiet there forever. I guessed you wouldn't talk anymore."

Medel just laughed at what I said, even their son Liance. This kid looks like a mama's boy.

"I was just adjusting, so I was kept my mouth shut. But now I am not. Because I have adjusted." Deigo explained with a smile.

I was just nodded. These two couples have not amended. I thought, they've changed a lot after four years but it's not, they still what they are. I hope Cedrick and I too, will not change.

After thirty minutes, long stories took place. Cedrick also came with the twins. Medel and Deigo immediately greeted him with a hug and fist bump. I just shook my head because of that. They even gouged the twins.

The twins and Liance are already closed. They were playing with toys on the carpeted floor of my office. While the four of us kept looking for them.

"Deigo and I would have had a plan this coming month. It's almost May. It's been a reunion at university. So, we thought we'd have a reunion too." Medel's prelude.

I thought about it and looked at Cedrick. I am waiting for his response and reaction to what Medel said. Whether he wants to or not?

"Ahm, for me. . . your idea is fine Medel, but the problem is. . . how do we invite our batch mates? We have no communication with them. It's been four years, maybe they've changed mobile number or what. " Cedrick agreed. When he understood, the way I looked at him.

I also thought about what he said to Medel, he also had a point. "That's why there is a so-called social media and that internet; to communicate with people around the world."

We laughed and were shaken by what we heard from Medel. "Of course not, why didn't we think of that?" I laughed at the question.

"Because you only have Cedrick in mind," Deigo replied. I stared at him.

"Stop there Deigo, it looks like Medel doesn't even think about you?" I was pissed back at the question.

"Bro, until now. Is your wife still the same? Nothing has changed." Then he laughed out loud. I looked at him badly.

"As if I know, you don't change either. You still look like a monkey." I said annoyingly.

Medel and Cedrick just laughed at what they hear.

I looked at Cedrick and glared at him; giving him a warning. "If you still laughing, I will wreck your neck," I threatened him.

"I won't laugh anymore, promise! I'm sorry, sweetie." He approached me at once and hugged me tightly.

Medel and Deigo were silenced. Cedrick and I just laughed.

"You're jealous, aren't you?" I teased them.

-

Time passed quickly, Medel and Deigo with their son Liance are leaving. We ended up our conversation at a high school reunion.

"You two get ready for the high school reunion. You two need to be there. We need to go, whether we like it or not. Okay?" Medel reminded me when they left.

"Of course, friend. We go there. We can still be ready. We have seven days to prepare." I said, and at the same time smiled at her.

I looked at Cedrick. "Maybe you can go. Deigo is there."

"Oh, Cedrick. Do not to be lost at that time, Deigo and I are always present." Medel finally said. They wave their hands and left.

Cedrick and I looked at each other, and both shook our heads. I looked at Cedrick and to my twins. The twin also looked at us. My husband just shrugged then walked.

"So? We need to go home. It's already five in the afternoon. For sure, the kids are hungry." I nodded at what Cedrick said.

"Ah, yes. Just wait for me, for a couple of minutes. It just quick."

I have put away my belongings. So that we, the children, and Cedrick can leave.

"Mommy. Daddy. Will we come to the reunion?" Cedrena asked suddenly.

"No! It's just for adults, Cedrena. You're not grown-up yet, you can't go there," Rick replied with a statement.

I looked at Cedrick, when our son explained it to her twin.

"Yes, your twin is right Cedrena. That reunion is only for the elders. The children can't go there, maybe next time you can go there." Cedrick added.

"Yes, Maybe next time?" They asked and smiled.

Well, Cedrick and I smile for each other.

"Yes, baby! Next time." Cedrick and I answered at the same time, and he started the engine of the car.

We need to prepared for the reunion.

"You will stay here at home, huh? Mommy and Daddy will be going to the mall; buy some foods to eat. Behave with nanny Kida, okay?" I ordered the twins when Cedrick and I were in the living room.

We have planned to go to the market today. It's the weekend, so Cedrick and I will go to the market first. We will also pass by my boutique later, to measure sizes for what we will wear for the high school reunion.

"Yes, mommy and daddy be careful!" Rick cheerfully agreed while Cedrena giving us small smile.

"Rick and I will be careful too!" Cedrena added as she laughed softly. I shook my head.

I turned to Kida, "Take care of the twins, Kida, while we are gone."

She nodded. Cedrick and I smiled meaningfully. "Yes, ma'am. Enjoy!"

I nodded at what Kida said. What that woman was thinking?

"So? What are we gonna do now?" Cedrick suddenly asked as we sat in the car. He started the engine and drove it.

"What, do you think?" I raised an eyebrow at him. I smile mischievously and wiggled my eyebrows.

Cedrick laughed and smiled back. "I think, we're gonna have a new twin again?"

I punched him on the arm when I heard what he said. His naughty minds always give me a heart attack.

"Stop right there, Cedrick. Cedrena and Rick- our twin are enough. I don't want to get pregnant again! It's hard to give birth! When that happens again, I'll make sure you go bald!"

I remember the day when I having labor on Cedrena and Rick. Cedrick and I were still in the car, and then my stomach suddenly hurt. I still blamed him for that.

I remember that day.

"You bastard Cedrick! What did you do and it hurts to give birth like this ?! Ha ?! Take me to the hospital! Hurry up!"

Earlier, I shouted and slapped him but he was still like a dumbhead while looking at me with an abyss. He was an idiot when I told him that I'm going to give birth.

I'm already writhing in pain that I feel in my abdomen and stomach, but he has still no reaction. I don't know if my hip hurts or my stomach hurts.

When I felt my water burst. I shouted because of panic and nervousness. I felt that at any moment, the twins are coming out.

I did not know that this is how painful to give labor. What even more exciting is that I will give birth to twins.

"Cedrick! Are you taking me to the hospital or are you just kept standing there?! Cedrick! Ah! Cedrick! Oh my gosh!"

In annoyance, I kicked him in his legs. Then he realized that he is not dreaming. "Sweetie ?! Sweetie ?! What's wrong with you?"

"I'm going to give birth! So take me to the hospital! You dumbhead! I don't want to give birth any more!" I cried out loud.

He was carried away by my threat and he started to drove the car to St. John hospital.

When I arrived at the hospital, he started to help me. Instead, I am the one being nervous, it was as if he was the one to give birth.

Maybe this time, I don't give birth I will laugh at him because of his reaction.

We were in the delivery room, while I was urinating I was tweaking his hair on his head. He is annoying! If I knew that giving birth is this hurt, I would not have agreed to make love with him.

"You can never do it again, Cedrick! If I only knew it was so painful, I wouldn't have agreed! You!" I screamed as I hold tightly in his hair.

I saw that his whole face was red because of what I said and maybe also because I tweaked him. And, maybe because all the nurses and my ob gyne heard everything that I said. Even me, blushed when I finally realized that someone had heard what I said.

"Sweetie, there's no second time?" He growled like a child as he asked me. I'm still ashamed of what I had been said earlier.

I teased him. "No more! Keep it on the rocks! Ahhh! You're annoying Cedrick! You will go bald when I get out of the hospital!"

"Don't, sweetie, the world will lose another handsome creature when you cut my hair," he replied with a grin.

"I do not care!"

I even heard the laughter of all the nurses and my ob-gyne inside the delivery room because of what I declared, which echoed throughout the room. The next sound we heard is the crying of a child.

"Are you thinking of something, sweetie?" My thoughts returned to reality when Cedrick suddenly spoke.

I stared at him for a moment and turned my attention back to observe the surroundings outside the car.

"I have remembered something. Don't mind it, you might just laugh when you force me to tell you."

-

"Finally, we are done. Let's go to the market. We need to put it on the back of the car, then we will go to your boutique for the measurements of our dress and suit to wear in reunion. Are you ready, sweetie?"

I nodded at Cedrick's question. "Uh-hu! I'm always, ready. You know that, right?"

He smiled sweetly at me and suddenly brought his face closer to mine which made me startle. "Yes, sweetie. I know it."

Then he kissed me on the lips. It was as if I had been attacked by fire because of the embarrassment and warmth of my face. Many people watched us and noticed what Cedrick did.

We are still in the mall, so it is embarrassed in such a situation. But I will not be ashamed when Cedrick is the one who did it.

We left the mall quickly. He immediately put everything we bought in the back of the car park. He helped me to get inside and kissed me again on my cheeks.

As soon as he got into the car, he immediately drove it. We quickly reached the boutique.

I am the one who made the design for his suit and my dress. And it was sewn by my staff when they get the sizes of my measurements and Cedrick.

When we entered the fitting room, some of my staff were already there to measure the two of us.

It easy to complete the measurement. I immediately asked Cedrick to look at the designs that I had made for the suit he was going to wear for the reunion.

While Cedrick was busy examining the design for his suit, my phone suddenly vibrated.

Someone texted me.

I looked at the message. Shock, panic, and nervousness that I felt when I read the message. Abruptly, I let go of the cellphone I was holding.

From: unknown

Hi, Ena. I miss you. Do you miss me too? Four years had been passed. And then four years ago again, I'm finally back. How are you? Do you still remember me?
