The Mistress Wife

Epilogue

EPILOGUE

WE ARE ought to forgive but never to forget, yan ang masasabi ko para sa buhay ng tao. Kahit gaano natin kaayaw na magforgive ay magfoforgive padin tayo pero hinding hindi natin malilimutan kung ano man ang nanyari.

Sabi nga ni Dr. Hong ng doctors, para sa kanya walang bukas kaya we should only focus on today at wag tayong magpapabaon sa galit, paghihiganti at kalungkutan. That's what I did, I forgive him.

Giving him another chance is what I can say the best decision I've made so far. He's my life and no matter how many times he's hurt me, I'll always end up forgiving him.

A year has passed. Hindi pa din ako nabubuntis, pero hindi kami sumusuko at hinding hindi susuko. I know there'll be a point where we'll reach our goal. I believe that every person can reach their goals with perseverance and motivation.

Here I am placing the 967th negative pregnancy test in our motivatiom box. Yes, we call it motivation box because this box may simbolize how our heartbreaks, disappointments and tears but this is another thing that motivates us. This box is what tells me to stop, to give up since we've failed 967 times but this box motivates me to go on, to not let a single piece of cardboard defeat us.

We both know with prayer and with the love we have for each other, sooner or later magkakababy na din kami.

"I love you" I whisper to him silently after putting the lid back on

"I love you too" He replied giving me a peck. I put back the box in it's place. I settled myself beside him on the bed, humming silently as he stroke my hair. this has become a routine every time we took the tests.

We took 5 tests at the same time once a week and sometimes twice and more than five.

Siguro ang iba iisipin masyadong heartbreaking, masyadong nakakapanlumo na palagi kaming nagtetake ng tests only to be faced with a disappointing result pero nasasa tao na kasi iyo. And this is our way of coping. Yes, masakit but in every pain there is this increase in hope. Lalo kaming nagpupursigi.

Today, we are suppose to take the tests but I'm taking it alone. Lester has been on a bad mood lately because of work.

[flashback 1hour ago]

"Lester, tara na?" Pagaya ko sakanya pero di niya ako pinansin

"Lester" He's still busy with something on his laptop

"Lester!"

"What?! Can't you see I'm busy?"

"I know. pero I'll be taking the test na. It'll only take a few minutes"

"I'm busy, Lorraine. mamaya na" that stung. siguro nga napapagod na siya, so I didn't push it

"okay"

[end of flashback]

It has been an hour, hinihintay ko siya baka magbago isio niya but I guess not.

Tinago ko iyong PTs saka humiga sa kama. I know the result naman na, so I didn't bother.

I woke up with a movement on the other side of the bed, I glance at the clock on the bedside table 2:32am,

"matutulog ka palang?" he nodded, then wrapped his arms around me

"sorry kanina. I didn't mean to be rude. Tinake mo ba?" he asked tiredly

"No, bukas nalang" he nodded then kissed me before closing his eyes

"I love you" before I could even answer, he was snoring already. I smiled them kissed his forehead.

LESTER'S POV

The hell week at the office is finally done, I can now go home and do my husband duties without being a douche. I felt bad that I always snapped at lorraine for the past few days.

I was about to start my car when my phone rang

Lorry-bear❤

Hmmm.. someone misses me

"Hi, baby" I greeted sweetly

"Hello?" I tensed when a man greeted, asan ang lorry-bear ko? before I can say anothe word, nagsalita uli siya "Hello sir, you are registered as 'Hubby' in this phone, kayo po ba ang asawa ng may ari nito?" what happened?

"yes, why?"

"I'm a nurse from ************ hospital and your wife was rushed a minute ago" I felt numb

I did't know kung paano ako nakarating sa ospital ng ligtas but the next thing I know, nasa ospital na ako asking a nurse where my wife is.

I went straight to the emergency room since I was informed she's there. Then I found her, unconscious on one of the beds

"lorry-bear"

"are you the husband?" I nodded "I'm the doctor who examined your wife." I shook his hand

"ano pong nanyari?"

"From the report of the HEMS, your wife fainted in the middle of a grocery store and scratched her left arm on the rack" That's when I notice a bandage on her left arm "we run a few tests on her and it should be out in a few minutes." He excused himself and then I asked them to transfer her in a private suite

I stare at her beautiful face, masyado ko siyang napabayaan.

A few minutes later bumalik na ang malay niya

"Lester, what happened?"

"you fainted, love"

LORRAINE'S POV

Nahimatay ako? The last thing I remember ay kumukuha ako ng tuna.

I was about to talk when someon came in, I guess he's the doctor

"You're awake!" masaya niyang saad " the results are here, and base on the results normal naman lahat except for one" biglang napahigpit ang hawak ko kay lester...

Di kaya may cancer ako? no, lorraine. Doctor ka so wag ka magaassume.

"a-ano po yu doc?" kabadong tanong ni lester

"don't worry, it's nothing to be afraid of. in fact I think good news nga to... congratulations, you're 7weeks pregnant"

7weeks

pregnant

The doctor is saying something about referring me to an OB-gyne but I can't quite understand. all I can see is Lester's eyes with tears.

"magkakababy na tayo"

"I love you so much"

It may have taken us a long time, but finally our goal is achieved.

Our baby is on the way.
