Chapter 8

It's been two weeks since when the tragedy happen. Nakaupo ako sa tabi ni Chant. Hawak ang kamay habang nag-aantay kung magrerespond siya.

I don't know how to explain everything to her. Hindi ko alam kung handa na ba akong magpaliwanag sa mga kasalanang ginawa ko. We suffered a great loss. Kung alam ko lang sana na she's pregnant. I wouldn't do those things.

And now I'm regretting everything. I should have done something good. I should have been the husband and a father. Kung hindi ko sana ginawa 'yon. Chant are with me, and same thing goes to our baby. If I was a responsible man, our baby wouldn't die and Chantria won't suffer in this bed while she's in coma.
‘I just hoped that i wasn't scared of those life threatening choices. Sana hindi nalang ako takot para aminin ang totoo. ’

I heard a knock on the door but I didn't bother to do anything para pagbuksan yung tao. Ewan ko ba, ‘I couldn't leave my Chantria's side.’

“Boss, you need to take a rest and you need to eat.” napalingon ako kay Fhelmine na kasalukuyang naglalakad palapit sa'kin. “We will take care of our lady.” dagdag pa nito. Sandali akong natigilan. ‘They want me to leave my wife side?’ I gave him a death glare. Kitang-kita ko kung paano ito napayuko sa takot bago muling magsalita.

“Your grandfather wants to see you boss. He told me that you have a choice— whether you'll come or he'll come.” agad itong napabuntong hininga. “I t-think he will take our lady to you if you didn't come.”

“I guess, dadalhan nalang kita ng damit at makakain.” bakas ang takot ang maririnig sa tono niya. Tumango lang ako at sumenyas dito na lumabas na ito.

“I'm sorry my wife.” I sincerely said and kiss her forehead. “I love you.” then I place a kiss on her lips.

‘I miss everything about her.’  Sa mga panahong sinasaktan ko siya. I tried so hard and my best to not approach her.

Gustong-gusto ko bawiin yung mga sinabi ko sa tuwing may sasabihin ako. I want to say sorry. A sincere apology.

Past five in the morning when I found her in seizure. I ran to look for someone to help.

Mabuti nalang at may nakasalubong akong nurse. Sinamahan niya ako kay doktor.

After checking on her, I was feel relieved. I read alot of pocketbooks and her favorite story. Sabi kasi ng doktor, kailangan kong kausapin si Chantria dahil kahit papaano ay nakakarinig daw ito.

Early in the morning. I went back home. I took everything I needed at bumalik din ako sa hospital.

Binalot ng kaba ang puso ko ng makitang maraming nurse sa loob ng Roo ni Chantria.

Then I saw her... She was sitting and her face field with curiosity. Mabilis kong ibinaba yung mga dala ko at tummakbo papalapit sa kanya. I hugged her so tight. I missed her so much. But she tried to push me away.

“W-who are y-you?” kitang-kita ko ang takot sa mata niya. Ang pagkalito at ang mga mata niyang mapaghusgang nagtatanong.

“I” napalunok ako. May mga nagbabadyang luha sa mga mata ko. Nasasaktan ako sa inaakto niya. ‘But she's mad at you Gregor, she loath you.’

“I-i am your h-husband.” kabado ng sagot ko. Tumingin siya sa'kin at pinagmasdan ang kabuuan ko. Tumagilid pa ang ulo nito na siyang sinundan ko.

“S-sino ako?” naguguluhang tanong niya at kinataranta ko ang pagsabunot niya sa ulo niya. Niyakap ko ito ng mahigpit. Pilit pinapatawan ng tuluyan siyang humagulgol sa balikat ko.

It hurts... Parang sinasaksak ng kutsilyo ang puso ko habang nakikita ko siyang gan'to.

“B-bakit wala akong maalala?” tanong niya matapos kumalma. I stared at her brown eyes. She really don't know who she is...

Makalipas lang ang ilang minuto ay naiwan kaming dalawa ni Chant. Nakaupo ako sa gilid niya at nagbabalat ng mansanas habang siya ay nakatitig ang sakin at pinapanood ang bawat galaw ko.

“Here...” abot ko sa kanya ng mansanas ngunit hindi niya iyon kinuha. Napabuntong hininga ako at kinagat an 'yon bago muling inabot dito. ‘She ate it.’ masayang bulong ko sa isip ko.

I know, nakikita ko sa mga galaw niya na hindi pa siya nagtitiwala sakin. But I am willing to do anything Para makuha uklit yung tiawal niya.

“I-ikaw ba t-talaga yung a-asawa ko?” utal na tanong niya. Napayuko pa ito sa hiya. Ngumiti muna ako at hinawakan ang ulo niya.

“I'm your husband, silly.” I place a kiss on her lips ‘God know how much I want her lips are into mine.’ it last only a second. Bumitaw din agad ako dahil sa takot na matakot ko siya.

I stared on her face for a while that's why she looks away. I was happy to see that I made her shy and makes her cheeks turn red.

“So, w-when did we m-met” Kyuryosong tanong niya habang nguya-nguya ang bagong balat na Apple. Ngumiti ako at tumabi sa kanya. Niyakap ko ito ng mahigpit.

“Four years ago...” i kissed her forehead.

“When did w-we f-fell in l-love?” halatang hindi siya sigurado sa tanong niya.

“Love at first sight.” I proudly said and I heard her giggled Kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

“I guessed we did...” aniya at tumingin sa mata ko. “I just did.” she uttered and places a kiss on my cheeks.

I was about to say something when we were interrupted by someone, It was her doctor. Mabilis din akong sumunod palabas at iniwan si Chantria. I smiled at a sight of her when she signs to me that ‘She'll wait.’

Malalim na butong hininga ang pinakalwan ko bago ko isarado ang pinto.

“I'm sorry to tell you this but Mr. Levitsky, your wife has a amnesia.” I didn't react on what he just said ‘Alam ko na yung bagay na 'yon.’

“And I have a question regarding to your wife's mental health.” diretsang tanong niya. Nag-angat ako ng tingin at tumingin sa kanya. ‘What does he mean by that?’

“I found a history about your wife and...” sandali itong may iniabot na folder sa akin. Agad ko rin naman 'yong tiningnan ngunit wala akong naintindihan sa nakasulat doon.

“Your wife suffered a depression before. Not only one but thrice.”
