AMARA.

I woke up at eleven pm and my husband is no longer around. I tried to contact him but I couldn't reach his number. I can't even fell asleep because I'm still thinking of him. Where did he go? He didn't even tell me. Kanina pa ba siya wala?

I want to call the staff and ask them if what time did my husband left with the help of the CCTV. But I just prefer to sat on the bed and wait for him.

Baka bumaba lang sandali at may binili. O kaya naman nagpahangin lang siya sa labas.

I tried to contact him again, but there's no response. Nakatulugan ko na ang paghihintay sa kanya dahil sa epekto na rin ng gamot na iniinom ko. Nagising nalang ako sa ingay mula sa silid.

As I open my eyes, I immediately look at the noise and there—I saw the back of my husband. He's wearing a white shirt and pants. Hindi niya makita kung ano ang ginagawa ng kanyang asawa kaya naman dahan dahan siya ng napaupo mula sa kinahihigaan.

"I'm—waiting for you last night. Where...have you been?" namamaos ang kanyang boses ng tanungin niya ang asawa.

Kaagad itong napalingon sa kanya at binati.

"You're awake! Good morning, wife.." he greeted to her as he walked towards the bed. Naupo ito sa kanyang harapan. "How are you feeling?" her husband ask.

"I'm good but my back hurts a bit." she still needs a therapy for her fractured bone but she will do it when they come back to the Philippines. "I'm waiting for you last night." she mentioned again because her husband avoided her question a while ago.

"I'm sorry, I just met my friend last night." he said. "I'm sorry for keep you waiting." he added.

Napasulyap lang ako sa kanya at pagkuway tumango.

"Are you hungry? Our food was ready."

"Thank you!" She told him as he reach for his face.

"Hmm for what?"

"For taking care of me. For understanding me. For everything."

"It's my job as your husband." he smiled at me. "Please be happy. Ayokong nalulungkot ka!" aniya. Tumango lang ako sa kanya.

We ate our breakfast together. Pasulyap sulyap ako sa kanya habang sinusubuan niya ako. I feel like a baby right now.

"Our flight will be seven pm in the evening . I already fix our things last night. Konti nalang ang aayusin ko. Then we will leave this place, wife." Napasulyap ako sa kanya ng magsalita ito.

"I can help you." I insist but he just shook his head.

"Please rest for a moment, wife. You have to regain your energy again. You need to be strong." his husband told her.
