Sa mga old readers po ng FM sa book na ito, dahil sa mga changes na inilagay namin ay nagkaroon po ng problema sa previous chapters para sa mga gumagamit ng Wattpad Apps. Paki-refresh at re-add na lang po ito or paki-delete at add ulit sa Library ninyo para ma-refresh at para makita at mabasa nyo po ang mga changes. We will delete the New Revised Version of this story in "My Works" of my account dahil nalilito po ang ibang readers sa kung alin version ang babasahin nila. Inilipat na po namin ang contents ng FM Revised Version dito sa old version para sa isang story na lang po makapag-concentrate ang mga readers. Thank you. ;)

Enjoy Reading! ( ˘ ³˘) ♡

Right after Abby pleaded me yesterday to go back to the Metro, I immediately contacted our parents para magpasundo agad sa isla. She looked so excited. Sinalubong pa kami ng mga magulang namin. Tuwang-tuwa sila sa naging development ni Abby while we're staying on the island.

I was so glad because she was very happy yet I was so scared at the same time. I was observing her carefully every minute while we're travelling on the way to our house. Natatakot akong baka may isang bagay siyang makita na biglang magpapaalala ng lahat ng mga nangyari bago ang aksidente niya.

When we finally reached our house, my fear got stronger and stronger. Every second seems like a torture to me especially when she started checking out the whole house. I was excruciatingly preparing myself for the bomb to explode in front of me. I knew I might lose her any moment now so before we went upstairs to our room, I immediately pulled her into a tight hug, hoping that she could forgive all my shortcomings and stupid mistakes in the past.

"Gab, di na ako makahinga," she said and chuckled.

"I love you so much, Abby. Always remember that," I whispered gently on her ear while embracing her. I swallowed the lump on my throat. Pasimple kong pinahid ng kamay ang mga luha ko sa magkabilang pisngi ko.

"Gab?" She pushed me lightly and freed herself from my tight embrace. She frowned and looked at me confusedly. "Umiiyak ka ba? You're acting strange. Kanina ka pa ganyan bago tayo umalis sa island. May problema ka ba?" she asked me worriedly. Hinaplos-haplos niya ang pisngi ko.

Umiling ako at pinilit ngumiti. "Naninibago lang ako kasi nasanay na ako na tayong dalawa lang ang laging magkasama."

She smiled again. "Tsss... Para namang mawawala ako kung magsalita ka." She kissed my lips. "Ang ganda pala ng bahay natin. Sayang di ko pa kasi naaalala 'to eh. Hanggang sa kasal pa lang natin ang matinong naaalala ko eh."

Yes, may ilang mga bagay pa na paunti-unting bumabalik sa alaala niya while we were in the island. Those were the times when we were married already. Nagtampo pa nga siya sa akin noong minsan dahil naalala niya iyong isang beses na sinigawan ko siya bago ako pumasok sa office at noong isang beses na sinasaktan ko siya while I'm having séx with her. Iyak siya nang iyak during that time at I didn't know how to comfort her. But even though she forgave me, hindi pa rin maalis ang takot ko na anytime ay maaari nang bumalik ang lahat ng memories niya. Mild events pa lang ang mga naaalala niya. Paano pa kapag iyong nakunan siya ng dalawang beses ang bumalik sa memory niya? And my fear is hundred times stronger now that we're here in Manila already.

"Hello, earth to Gabriel Montreal." She was waving her hand in front of my face. "You're not listening to me. I said, binili ba natin itong bahay?"

I shook my head. "This was my parents wedding gift for us."

Napangiti siya. "Ang sweet talaga nila Mommy. Show me our room?"

I heaved out a sigh. I took her hand and guided her to our room. I opened the door slowly. Pati ako ay nanibago. Alam kong ipinaayos ni Mommy at Mama Alice ang interior decorations nito while we were away, pero hindi ko naman in-expect na papalitan nila pati ibang furnitures.
