Suddenly We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 19 Memories

Xander's POV

" so what's the real score?, did you finally make up?" Tanong ni James habang umiinom sila ng alak sa isang bar.

Umiling iling siya. " it's worse." Sagot ni Xander.

" she's your wife, common, just tell her, explain to her why you suddenly did not communicate with her for all those years."

" maawa lang siya sa akin, it's not love kung biglang nagbago ang pakiramdam niya."

" Xander, she loves you I know dahil kung hindi ka niya mahal she doesn't want to see you anymore."

" She's happy with that guy, she made it clear that I'm the father of Mike kaya kami nagkikita."

" I don't believe it, I know she loves you."

" it's funny, I'm here again in this situation, niloko ako noon ni Ivy but this one is more painful."

" trust me, talk heart to heart. I know she loves you, Sam is a decent woman, hindi ko siya kinausap noon dahil pinigilan ako ng mama mo so this is your chance."kumbinsi nito sa kanya.

Pero hindi niya alam kung paano sisimulan ang lahat, all he knows he love her so much kaya ayaw niyang malaman nito ang nangyari sa kanya sa Amerika, he had a car accident, he was in comatose for four months, pagkagising niya wala siyang maalala, he had amnesia. Ang naalala niya ay ang relasyon nila ni Ivy.

Madalas napapaginipan niya ang babaeng buntis, minsan nakatalikod minsan nakaharap sa kanya pero hindi niya makita ng husto ang mukha, madalas mainit ang ulo niya because of frustrations, pakiramdam niya ay may mga bagay na hindi niya alam and everybody was scared to him in those times, tuwing may naalala siya ay halos sasabog ang ulo niya sa sakit. Kung may magsasabi ng bagay na hindi niya alam ay nagagalit siya agad. Last month saka bumalik lahat ng memorya niya and it's too late. Sam already move on. She loves someone at iba ang naging ama ng anak niya dahil wala siya, now that his memory is back hindi na niya maayos ang lahat.

Galit na galit siya sa kanyang mama dahil di man lang binanggit ng mga ito ang tunhkol kay Sam lalo ang anak niya. Sam did everything by herself, tinakwil siya ng kanyang papa and she is raising their child alone. His mother just let Sam to be alone, knowing Sam is pregnant at hindi nag alala ang sa kalagayan nito. Mas inisip ng mama niya ang sarili kesa sa tama. His father was also ill kaya nagtagal sila sa Amerika sa pagpapagamot nila ng kanyang papa. His mom lied, she said they tried to talk to Sam, ilang beses nilang gustong kausapin si Sam pero hindi sumasagot sa telepono. Her dad doesn't know what's happening dahil sa kondisyon nito. All this time his mother manipulated everything. He can still remember the time his memories came back.

Hindi niya pinagbigyan ang pagyaya ni Ivy sa kanya na lumabas at hindi niya ito matawagan. He cannot sleep the whole night without knowing what is Ivy doing kaya kahit past twelve na ay pumunta siya sa club kung nasaan si Ivy, there is Ivy asing na lasing dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Lumapit siya sa mga kaibigan nito at bumati.

"Ivy is so wild today." Si Hailey, ang amerikanang babae na friend nila ni Ivy. Lasing na lasing din.

Ngumiti lang siya saka umupo sa upuan kung nasaan nakaupo ito ng lumapit ang babae sa kanya.

" you know what, I always want you but Ivy is always in the middle of us, can we meet sometimes? Just the two of us " bulong nito. Flirting with him, alam niyang open minded ito pero it's the first time na naglakas loob itong lumapit sa kanya.

" you're drunk Hailey."

"I'm not, I'm horny" sabi nitong magsimula ng maghawak sa dibdib niya, agad niya inalis ang kamay nito saka lumayo konti.

" common, I really liked you.."

" I love Ivy and she is your friend."

Nagkibit balikat lamang si Hailey at tumawa.

" you're such a good man that's why I'm jelous of Ivy but Ivy just had a moment a while ago." Sabi nitong tumatawa.

"Hailey! Stop it!" Biglang sigaw ni Ivy. Si Hailey naman ay tumawa lang at pumunta naman sa dance floor.

Tumingin siya kay Ivy, a lot of questions in his mind? He let Ivy goes to clubs freely because he trusts her but now?

" I'm sad and I'm hurt Xander, I want to be alone." Sabi nito sa kanya.

" but Ivy really? Anong ginagawa mo habang wala ako?" Tanong niya dito.

" naniniwala ka ba kay Hailey? She's just drunk kung ano anong pinagsasabi."

"I know this club Ivy, do you want me to ask for the cctv?" Tanong niya dito then he left. Halos namutla si Ivy na iniwan niyang hindi makapagsalita. He's driving too fast at hindi niya napansin ang parating na sasakyan, naiwasan niya ito at medyo nabangga niya ang isang puno.Then suddenly all his memories came. Si Sam, ang pagbubuntis ni Sam and he remembers everything about her. Tinawagan niya ang kanyang mama, her mom is crying and explaining to him but he turned off the call.

Paguwi niya ng flat ay napaupo siya sa sofa? What's happening to his life? Everything is a mess! And Ivy is flirting with other men. He left the club a while ago at sumunod si Ivy.

" nagawa ko lang naman yun because you don't love me" Paliwanag nito.

" you didn't change at all, you fooled me. I don't trust you! Leave before I will drag you out of this house!" Galit niyang sinabi dito..

" I'm sorry, please don't leave me, I will change, marry me and everything will be fine" Umiiyak nitong sinabi. Lumapit ito para yakapin siya pero umiwas na siya.

" you're a liar!, I will go home to Philippines to see my wife! Sabi niya dito. Halos nawalan ng kulay ang mukha ni Ivy.

" no...no.. you're mine, you don't have a wife."

" stop playing around because I remember everything, now get out or I will call the police." Banta niya dito.

Umalis agad si Ivy, nagmadali nitong kinuha ang gamit ang tumakbo.

Madalas pa rin siyang tawagan ni Ivy but he keeps on ignoring it but He cannot ignore Ivy's presence because her family has business kaya madalas silang nagkikita for meetings. Pero business matters lang ang pagkikita nila. She tried and tried to seduce him pero she didn't succeed.
