His Stripper Wife

Chapter 30

Lukesio's POV

Nothing is permanent in this world, people are expected to come in your life and leave. We can't just hold them forever as we wanted it to be, because we are at loss. We are always at loss when it comes to the people we love so much.

I still want to hold her hand and to not let her go. She was way too precious for me to the point that I want to be with her.

Ayoko pa. Ayokong iwan niya ako. I can be a better husband if she would want but the idea of her, leaving me makes me scared too much. She's my wife... and a mother of our child.

Bakit ang dali lang para sa kaniya na iwan kami? How would I even survive without her by my side?

How am I supposed to wake up every morning without her? Spend my day longing for her presence? How will I survive my years without her?

Her eyes shows bravery and filled with determination. No weakness could be seen. No matter how much I cried for her, how much I begged for her to stay, she's just here to smile to me.

She really knows that it's my weakness.

Gusto kong magalit at sumbatan siya pero hindi ko magawa.

"H-How is my wife Doc?" Desperado kung

"It must've been hard for you Mr. Marchezâ."

"S-She managed to live." He paused for a moment and looked at me with sympathy. "Her heart stopped beating for a minute. We thought that we already lost her. But she's a fighter, she fought until the end."

Stopped beating for a moment? No......no.

"H-Hindi na ba talaga pwede doc?" Wala sa sarili kong tanong.

Pwede bang magmakaawa ulit? Pwede pa ba?

He shook his head. "She only have a week at best, I-I'm not even sure if she can survive for a day. She's still in her critical condition."

"I'm sorry." The doctor said that and he leave me dumbfounded.

So my wife only have a week at best. Wala pa ngang kasiguraduhan kung makakayanan niya pang mabuhay ng isang araw. Paano ko pagkakasyahin lahat lahat ng pagmamahal ko sa isang araw man lang?

Masiyadong kulang. Masiyadong maiksi.

"Kuya." Leunice hugged me.

Hindi ko man lang siya magawang yakapin pabalik. It's as if I also lost my heart with me, my life and my soul along with her.....and it makes me a lifeless being.

"I-I still want to marry her again....p-pakasalan ko pa si Aufem." Ang sakit sakit ng lalamunan ko. Puro agos lang ng luha ang lumalabas sa mga malulungkot kong mata.

"K-Kuya you'll still get married. Makakayanan pa yan ni Aufem. She promised that to you, right?"

Hindi ko naman maiwasang hindi mapahagulgol ng malakas. She really means this much to me. It wouldn't matter if I cried this much for her.

"B-But she will still leave me in the end....and it hurts...it hurts way too much."

I stayed with Aufem in her hospital room. I waited for who knows how many hours has it been. But she's still not waking up, or will she even wake up?

I clasped her hand with both of my hands and kissed it. I prayed solemnly to God, that she may open her eyes again.

And In a span of moment, as if the heavens are watching, and God himself granted my wish.
