My parents car drove off and we were both left. "Lets take my car, you didnt bring yours anyways" I nodded."Hey"I started talking while drove.
"hmm?"
"You're already teaching my baby to keep secrets huh?" I asked as he smiled
"I knew you were gonna react this way" he smiled and held my hand.
"You know, there wasnt a time you didnt get off my mind. Especially since yann really looked like you."He kissed the back of my hand.
"Everytime I wake up I would always look for you beside me. You know you left your phone at home, I saw your selfies, our photos and our memories together. I would always stare at it and think,If you wouldnt have been alone to go will you still be by our side?Of course you would be."
"My phone? I would love to see those memories"My heart was hurt by his words. I felt guilty. He lived like that for almost 4 years while I lived peacefully.
"We tried to find you but there were no signs.Its like you vanished to thin air. While yanna grew she started to notice things. When she was at parties and events, she would always see kid's mothers with them while she didnt have one. She loses interest in things when it was a bout what mothers do but we have your mom,and my mom and your sister.So she gained back her strength and always bragged about her lola's. But when you came and we saw you the first time, she immediately recognized you.Lagi kasi kaming hihiga ng tabi and sa mga oras na yun we grab our phones and stare at your photos and we both make wishes that one day babalik ka sa amin. And that dream came true. DO you know how happy I was when Francis told me that he saw my wife? I was over the moon and I immediately went to your clinic. I was so proud of you. You reached your dreams.Just without us." he laughed to his self.
We were sitting at the hood of his car, parked at a mountain were we can see the city's view. It was beautiful.Listening to his rants. I really hoped I was there.
"I dont know what to say" I looked at my palm it was wet it was where the tears fell.
"You dont have to say anything love, I just want to tell you this things, so you wont miss out" he smiled and looked into my eyes.
"Then you fainted , and when I talked to your mom outside your room, thats when they told me the truth."
He looked at me. I was shivering and also crying at the same time."Are you cold?" I nodded.
"Lets go in. We have to go home too."
He helped me get down and also opened the door for me. "We're here love" he was parked just infront a simple but big house. It was modern and elegant to see. All lights were open and it looks like a warm house full of love waiting for us to come in.
I didn't know why but there were tears running down my cheeks as he was talking. This was his home,that became our home. The house where they lived for four years without me. "Let's go inside?" I nodded.
"Is this were yanna grew?" he nodded yes as his answer.
He opened the door for me and led me inside."Feel at home my love" he kissed my forehead.
"Ma'am?"sigaw ng mga maids.
"Ma'am Valerie!!!" sigaw ulit ng isa.
"Hey don't shout like that, ginugulat nyo siya eh" Elijah rolled his eyes. Friendly din pala ito sa mga maids. I thought he's arrogant kasi.
"Ay sorry sir kasi naman po kamukha niya s ma'am" one of the maid gave him a peace sign.
"Si ma'am po ba talaga yan?" tanong naman ng isa. I think she's the youngest among them all. She looked curious as she looked at the other maids.
"Yes this is her." he answered.
"Hi" I said shyly.
"Nako po ma'am nahiya pa po kayo!" one of them said. Can she tell I'm shy? No way.
"Kaya nga po ma'am, dapat po kami yung mahiya dahil parang kami po kasi yung may kasalanan sa pagkawala mo pero sabi naman kasi ni sir na huwag daw namin sisihin sarili namin kasi leave po namin yung araw na iyon." The one who shouted at me a while back said.
"Oh..siguro nga hindi nyo naman kasalanan"I laughed. "I was stupid siguro to not see the sign and they crashed into me pero swerte pa rin ako dahil tinulungan at inalagaan ako ng nakabangga sakin" I smiled.
"Ok enough with the chitchat,may paguusapan pa kami ng asawa ko" Elijah looked at me with desire in his eyes.
"HALA!! ang daming langgam tara na nga doon mga marites" sabi naman nung isa.
"Oh that's Nessa, the loudest and goofiest one in the house." Elijah said.
Nessa.It suits her attitude. Cute.
"How bout yanna's yaya?I heard she had one."I asked. I don't know why Im curious.
"Oh her, she had a day off today."He smiled and pulled me closer to him.
He kissed my lips. OMG! that was the first time I would feel a lip on mine!I mean that I remember.
"What was that for?" I asked as it was really confusing. I mean yes he is my husband but he is making moves real fast.
"A kiss" he answered in confusion.I smiled.
"Oh I-I'm sorry was I making you uncomfortable?" I think he felt that.But instead of saying yes...
"NO! I'm comfortable after all I'm your wife and you're my husband so I see nothing wrong about that.
"Are you sure? Because I think you're still in shock" I shook my head.
"No, I swear it's all good."I smiled and caressed his cheeks. "I must have been the luckiest girl four years ago" I added
"And you still are my love" He took my other arm and kissed behind.
"I'm still thinking na kung hindi ba ako nasagasaan eh nabigyan ko ng nanay si yanna?" Yeah that couldnt get off my mind.After hearing what yanna has went through I think I'll feel guilt ti'll I die.
"Well not that I'm blaming you but yeah we couldve been more happy. I wanted us both to witness all yanna's firsts." he smiled bitterly. "But it's all fine now you're here and thats more than good for us.Atleast it didnt take about ten years"I smiled and hugged him.
"Oh love,I want to show you something." he smiled widely and grabbed something from his pocket.
"Ano yun?" I asked.
"It's us" he showed me a video of two persons in a room. The guy had a guitar while me? I was just sitting beside him.
"Is that us singing?" Wow I didn't know I sing. I always thought I had a horrible voice.
he just nodded and smiled while his eyes were getting red. I too was balling my eyes out.
"Is yanna still on me here?" he nodded.
I took the phone from him and listened. I think it was dating tayo playing. I heard this song before kasi.
"I'm so sorry" I sobbed as Elijah hugged me.
"I love you baby" he kissed my forehead.
"I...... love you " I answered back and gave him a long passionate kiss.
