The Return

The news about Liza being alive spread like wildfire. She appeared in some well-known newspapers the following morning with the captions:

The Resurrection of an Heir

"Fake Death: A Sweet Escape"

"Not Dead; Just Got A Bump"

"A Death Turned Into Motherhood"

Then there's a family photo of the three of them. Kuha iyon habang namamasyal sila sa beach.

Harry was so furious.

Kahit kilala siyang tao ay mas gusto niya ng pribadong buhay. Naiinis siya pag sinusundan ng mga paparazzi ang bawat kilos niya. Bakit hindi niya naisip ang posibilidad na mangyayari 'to? Masyado siyang nakampante.

Oo nga pala... He is Harry Fortaleza. A business magnate. A member of the renowned TBB or The Billionaire Boys: A Stunningly Gorgeous and Eligible Bachelor. Marami ang nakasubaybay sa bawat galaw niya. Minsan hindi niya alam kung dapat niya bang ipagpasalamat ang katayuan sa buhay at ang pagkakaroon ng ganitong mukha. It's both a blessing and a curse.

Agad niyang inutusan ang mga katulong na iligpit lahat ng mga dyaryo at huwag na huwag babangitin iyon kay Liza. Agad niyang tinawagan si Mr. Kwoon para ayusin ang problema. Pagkatapos ay muli siyang bumalik ng kwarto para tingnan kung gising na ito. Napangiti siya nang makita na himbing pa rin ito sa tulog. It's already eight in the morning.

Pagkatapos nila manood ng cartoons ni Zion kagabi ay kinarga ito ni Sixto pabalik sa silid nilang mag-asawa kaya muling nasolo ni Harry si Liza.

They fall asleep in each other's arms following a series of kisses. Malamang napagod ito sa maghapon na pamamasyal kahapon. Lumapit siya rito and he kissed her on the forehead.

"Mmmm..." Mula sa pagkakatulog ay unti-unti nagmulat mga mata si Liza. Then she was greeted by the man who had invaded her dreams last night. "Harry?"

His stormy gray eyes met her crystal blue orbs in an intense staring competition. His eyes convey an array of feelings that she cannot name.

A vague and hazy scenario suddenly flashes right before her eyes. She felt so uncertain and confused. However, the warmth that emanated from his eyes was sufficient to make her heart feel at ease.

After what seemed like an eternity, Harry finally mumbled, "Good morning, lovely." Hindi napigilan ang sarili at hinagkan ang nakaawang na labi ni Liza. Yes. He could kiss her forever and never get tired of it.

Her morning warmth felt so good. It serves as a reminder that this is not a dream and that she is alive, for which he is eternally grateful. Hanggang ngayon ay halos hindi niya pa rin mapaniwalaan. He thought he had lost her forever.

He held her face in his palm as he ruffled her hair with the other. "Doll..."

"Hmm?"

"Remember last night when I said there's something I've been dying to say for the past five years?"

She gave a nod. "Ahum." She waited.

Harry smiled. He's hoping that this time he'll be able to say it. "My doll... I just wanted to say that I—-"

The phone rang loudly, interrupting their conversation at hindi napigilan ni Harry ang mapapikit at mapamura. "Who the hell is that?" inis niyang bulalas.

Liza let out a hearty chuckle. "Take the call, Harry. It might be very important," nakangisi niyang wika habang kumikilos pababa ng kama.

Inis na napatagis-bagang si Harry habang sinusundan ng tingin si Liza na papasok ng banyo. Kung sino man ang tumatawag, he's so dead! "Hello?!" marahas niyang sagot sa telepono.
