Married Twice (Del Fuego series #1)

CHAPTER 13

GABRIEL'S POV:

"...I also checked the records of the hospital but I can't find their names."

I harshly shut my eyes after hearing my secretary say those words. I got a tip from someone, saying that the Del Fuego's disappeared. And now, I'm looking for them by checking Nancy in the hospital but she's gone. Even her records disappeared. And It is making me confused! How did it fucking disappeared!?

"You may go.." I coldly said. He bowed his head before he turned and leave. "Nancy...please give me a sign...where are you?"

These past few days, all I am doing is to look for my wife's family. And I started that by checking Nancy at the hospital. But the hell! Only the fucking hospital bed welcomed me! Nancy wasn't there! And I don't fucking know where she fucking is!

I already pulled some strings but fuck! They can't find them either! The Del Fuego's are really good in everything. No. They are the best in everything. That's why I can't find even a single scratch from them. And I am thinking of something...maybe they are already out of the country. I must start searching—

I immediately looked up when I heard the door opened. I stood up and waited for the one who opened it. I can feel my heart beating so fast. Thinking that it could be her.

'TALA!'

I was about to shout her name when other person entered the door. I felt sadness and disappointment. Pero hindi ko naman siya pwedeng itaboy na lang ng basta.

Si Lexi.

"Hi, baby..." nakangiting bati niya. Pilit naman akong ngumiti sa kaniya saka sinalubong ang yakap niya. "I missed you..." aniya saka humiwalay ng yakap at nakangusong tumingin sa akin. "One week kitang hindi nakita...hindi ka man lang nagtext o tumawag...sa'n ka ba galing?"

Ngumiti naman akong muli bago sinagot ang tanong niya. "Naging busy lang." pagsisinungaling ko. "How about you? Where have you been?" I asked and I felt her froze but she managed.

"Well, uhhhm...just doing somethings to distract myself. Baka hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko't bigla na lang kitang puntahan." aniya na natatawa pero gayun pa man ay hindi ko magawang mahawa sa tawa niya. Ang tanging nagawa ko lang ay ngumiti ng pilit sa kaniya.

I miss my wife. I fucking miss her so much! I need to distract myself!

"Kumain ka na ba?" pag-iiba ko sa usapan.

"Hindi pa. Ide-date mo ko 'no?" nakangising aniya.

"Ayaw mo?" kunwaring tanong ko.

"Of course not...let's go?"

"Mm, let's go."

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya palabas. Wala naman akong natanggap na angal kaya hindi ko na siya binitawan. Sa paglabas namin ay bakas ang gulat at pagtataka sa mukha ng mga empleyado ko ng makita ang magkahawak naming kamay. Alam kong napapansin iyon ni Lexi ngunit hindi niya iyon binitawan. Bagkus ay niyakap niya pa ang braso ko. Ganoon ang posisyon namin hanggang sa labas ng kompanya.

Hanggang sa labas ng kompanya ay napapako ang mga tingin nila sa nakakapit na braso ni Lexi sa akin.
Nang makasakay sa sasakyan ay nagpatuloy ang masayang usapan namin. Ngayong kasama ko si Lexi ay hindi ko man lang magawang isipin si Tala. Himalang nakalimutan ko siya ngayon. Pero kahit na ganon, nararamdaman ko pa'rin siya. Hindi ko man siya naiisip ay nararamdaman ko siya sa puso ko.

Hanggang sa makarating sa restaurant ay hindi naalis ang paningin sa amin ng mga tao. Dahil na rin siguro sa kilala nila ako. Pero hindi ko na sila pinagtuunan pa ng pansin at ibinaling na lang iyon kay Lexi.
