Wounded Wife's Revenge

Chapter 12

After she left the hospital, she spent her days at Lorenzo's penthouse trying her best to recover.

And with her friend's help, she's trying to keep her mind sane. It's her 6th day after she got out from the hospital and tomorrow, she'll be leaving the country with Lorenzo.

But before she left, she has one more thing to do. So after she had breakfast, she immediately went back to her room and got ready.

She's about to get out of her room when Lorenzo knocked by the door na agad naman niyang binuksan.

"Amore, are you ready?" Agad na tanong nito sa kaniya ng bumukas ang pinto.

She sadly smiled at him and nodded her head. Then they went to Lorenzo's garage and he opened the car door for her at agad itong umikot sa driver's side. They were both silent when he started to drive to their destination.

Itinuon nya ang atensyon sa labas ng bintana ng maramdaman niyang namamasa ang kanyang mga mata.

Habang papalapit kasi sila sa destinasyon nila, nararamdaman niyang pabigat ng pabigat ang dibdib niya.

She was pulled out from her reverie when Lorenzo speaks to her.

"I know that you're not okay but I'm still asking. Are you okay?" Lorenzo cautiously asked her.

"I'm not, but I'm allowing myself to not be okay. Tomorrow we'll leave this country and when I come back I'm sure to give them hell and that's what's keeping me strong." Mariing sagot niya sa lalaki habang nakatuon pa rin ang mga mata niya sa labas ng bintana.

She heard Lorenzo sighed deeply but didn't say anything until the car stopped. After Lorenzo exited the car he immediately went to her side, opened the door for her and helped her out.

Hindi na siya nagulat ng hawakan nito ng mahigpit ang kamay niya habang tinatahak nila ang daan patungo sa lugar kung saan inilibing ang anak niya.

When she finally see where her unborn child lies, tuluyan ng nalaglag ang mga luhang kanina pa niya pinipigilan. Agad siyang lumuhod sa harapan noon at humagulgol ng iyak habang si Lorenzo naman ay walang imik na hinagod ang likod niya.

"I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry that Mommy let you get harmed. I'm so sorry that Mommy is weak and was unable to protect you. But I promise that I will avenge your death. I promise to keep myself strong and make them pay for what they've done to you--to us. I know that you're in a safe place now, but I will not stop until I give your death justice. But please look over me and keep me strong. I know that after I left, it will be hard because I won't be able to visit you like what I've been doing this pass few days. But I promise that I'll visit you everyday when I come back. And I promise to give you the justice that you deserve by that time. I love you so much, my baby. I love you." Sabi niya na parang kinakausap ang anak niya habang namamalisbis ang mga luha sa kanyang mga mata.

Ilang oras siyang naupo sa bermuda grass at panaka-nakang hinahalikan ang tombstone ng anak niya.

Hinayaan niya ang sariling maramdaman ang nakakabaliw na sakit. Hinayaan niyang maging mahina sa harap ng anak niya. Pero ipinangako niyang kapag umalis siya ng bansa bukas ay babalik siyang mas matapang at mas malakas.

They are on their way back to Lorenzo's penthouse pero hindi pa rin nagsasalita ang lalaki. Hindi siya sanay na ganun ito dahil lagi siyang kino-comfort nito sa tuwing malungkot siya sa mga nagdaang linggo noong nasa ospital pa siya.

Marahil ay nararamdaman nito na gusto niya ng space kaya hindi ito nagsasalita. But she broke the silence between them.

"Lorenzo?" Masuyong tawag niya sa lalaki.
