The weather seems so uncooperative yesterday. It was so windy and the sky was having a tell-tale sign of rain any time soon. It was also so dark and gloomy as if a storm is about to approach. Despite of it all, I was so upbeat and happy.

During that day however, it’s as if some unknown, evil I might add, force is trying to sabotage that day. I’ve received 3 job request which as usual were marked "urgent", my system began to manifest an unusual behavior, I forgot to buy rice so I was thinking of what to eat. Drizzles of rain started pouring late in the afternoon, and I haven’t heard from my wife yet. I couldn’t contact her place and her cellphone, I couldn’t confirm the activity. I was getting annoyed, and she didn’t even bothered to call me.

I was about to go to her place when she called that I should buy something to eat. Now I was pissed, she’d have to call the last minute, now the time which we’re suppose to be with has gotten shorter. She knows she has a curfew, now I’d have to wait another 30 mins for the food while it’s being cooked. I called, sounded angry, for her to get ready to go to our rented place instead of the planned park since any time soon the rain will come pouring down. We didn’t spoke a word to each other on the way, it was such a bummer considering it was a special day.

I felt I’d have to end this, this shouldn’t be what we’re supposed to be doing this day. So I broke the silence by letting her know I felt. There were heartfelt apologies after, from both sides. What was before an uncomfortable silence, were filled again with playful banter. There were worthwhile reminiscence of not only a celebration of union started which 3 years ago but also how we started 2 years earlier than that. Questions of should’ve and what ifs were around, but we never regret going this route. Hopefully we’ll have more years to come and hopefully snag a baby along the way.
