THE ROYAL LOVE STORY (SB19 Series Sequel)

XLIX - I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS

KYOMI'S POV

It's finally the day of her operation and everyone's nerve is wracking!!!!

I keep on staring at her. Natatakot ako na baka....... Baka hindi na siya makabalik sa  amin.....

Part of me wants to stop her pero...... Alam kong mas mapapabuti siya sa gagawing operation.

Kanina pang nakadikit lang si Artemis sa kapatid habang ang asawa ko ay gaya kong nakatitig lang rin habang naka upo sa sofa sa loob nitong hospital room ni Inna, both of us aren't saying anything.

Elan on the other hand is nowhere to be found. Kanina pa siyang hinahanap nang anak ko.

"Mom, can you call Elan for me please?"

"Sure."

I smiled before walking out the room.

I tried to search the hallway maging sa labas ng hospital ay wala siya.

Tried going into Chapel and spotted him.

Kneeling down the cross, crying his heart out.

Nanatili akong nakatayo sa pintuan and Elan's words pierce through my heart.

Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko para hindi niya marinig ang aking hikbi.

"I haven't prayed so hard before, I know I'm not your kindest son but God, this is the only thing I want in the world. Save Aphrodite please? She----she's my life. Please, bless her surgery. I will not pray for anything but for her life. Save my Wife ,God. I needed her and I love her. Please........Just please...."

"Hindi ko alam kung kakayanin ko ang mawala siyang muli sa akin. Please save her, I will not pray for anything,. Just save her please."

He's crying so bad that I had to help him to stand.

"Tita Kyomi"

Pinunasan niya ang mga luha. "Hinahanap ka ni Inna."

Inayos niya ang sarili sandali.

"Thank you, Elan."

"For what po?"

"For loving my daughter like this."

Ngumiti siya. "Thank you rin po. For wanting me to be with your daughter."

"Elan.... Saan ka ba galing?"

Naupo ito sa harapan ng anak ko.

"Just took a walk outside."

Kinuha ni Inna ang kamay niya at hinawakan ito nang mahigpit.

"Nag-aalala ka ba? Hindi ba nangako ako sayo na babalik ako?"

That word made us smile.

Elan kisses her forehead.

"I trust you."

"Have faith in me!!!"

Sobrang energetic ng anak ko!!!

"Kayo naman ngumiti naman kayo! O-operahan lang ako oh!!"

Niyakap namin siya.

"Kuya. Remember to call me pretty after my surgery ha?"
