Hindi makahuma si Francine dahil sa biglaang paggising ni Lyndon. Di niya alam kung paano sasagutin ang bawat katanungan nito. She's quite for some time.

"Di ko kilala si Samantha. But I'm glad that you're awake by now. Mahigit isang taon at limang buwan ka nang tulog." Sabi ni Francine. Natulala naman si Lyndon. Napakaraming bagay ang naglalaro sa utak niya ngayon lalo pa at gano'n na pala siya katagal nakatulog. But he tried to remain calm. And silently wishing that Samantha's safe.

"Sana'y ligtas ka, sana Sam." He says only on his mind. Saka tumalikod kay Francine.

"I have to check you, hoping that you'll let me." Sabi ni Francine.

"Kung ikaw man ang nagligtas ng aking buhay, gusto kong magpasalamat saiyo nang buong puso. Maraming salamat." Sabi ni Lyndon at hinawakan sa kamay ang dalagang manggagamot.

"Kailangan mong makaipon nang lakas upang makabalik ka na sa iyong pamilya. Sa iyong minamahal. Patawarin mo 'ko kung bakit di kita dinala sa otoridad. Your life were at risk and you were unable to travel." Ani Francine.

"Salamat at isinaalang-alang mo pa rin ang aking kaligtasan. Utang ko saiyo ang buhay ko." Sabi ni Lyndon at nagkangitian silang dalawa.


Mag-a-alas otso na ng gabi nang makarating sa bahay si Samantha mula sa kanyang opisina, ito rin ang unang pagkakataon na di siya nasundo ni Armando. Sabi kasi nito ay medyo male-late ito ng uwi ngayon, dahil sa overtime. Di naman dala ni Samantha ang kotse niya kasi sanay naman na siyang hinahatid sundo ng asawa. Kaya nag-commute na lang siya.

Bumungad sa dalaga ang set table with her favorite dishes on the garden. Sa unahang bahagi ng bahagi ng bahay sa may malapit na gate lamang and a background music were played. She knew it was Armando, playing the piano. Madalas niya kasi maabutang tumutugtog ng piano ang asawa kapag minsan ay nagpapahinga siya. It was very relaxing to an ear. And there she saw him, right beside the set table.

"Armando." She said surprisingly. And he continued playing the piano. "Akala ko ba may overtime ka?"

"Handa akong iwan ang lahat ng importante kong trabaho para lang mahalin ang asawa ko sa bawat segundo ng aking buhay." Sabi ni Armando saka itinigil ang piano at hinayaang nakatugtog ang malaking stereo. He stood up right before her. He's on his formal suit. At si Samantha ay nakasuot naman ng formal office uniform niya. An above the knees' skirt and a white long sleeves dress, na naka-tucked in pa sa loob ng skirt niya. She's just so lovely. A beautiful woman that every men would fight for just to keep her their's! Lumapit pa si Armando sa nakangiting asawa na nasurpresa nga dahil sa ginawa niya. He hugs her tightly and kiss her on the forehead, on the cheeks and on her lips. Saka naman inilakad ni Armando ang kanang kamay sa asawa upang isayaw ito. Inialay naman ni Samantha ang kamay sa asawa and Armando puts her hand on his shoulder and touch her on her waist tight. And the song has started to play..


If I would have to live my life again
I'd stay in love with you the way I've been
Your love is something no one ever can replace
I can't imagine life with someone else

I promise, I will share my life with you
Forever may not be enough it's true
My heart is filled with so much love
I feel for you
No words can say how much I love you so

Chorus

And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spend another lifetime baby,
If you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough for me to love you so

Verse 2

They say tomorrow seems so far away,
And now we see that everything can change
My love for you gets stronger as tomorrow comes
I know this love will stand
The test of time
