Epilogue

"Leian, huwag ka namang magpadalos-dalos sa desisyon mo o." Saad ni Erin.

Nasa hospital parin siya at kasalukuyang nakahiga sa kanyang hospital bed. Si Erin ang nagprinsintang magbantay sa kanya ngayon kahit ayos lang naman talagang wala siyang bantay.

She smiled at her softly. "I'm just too tired Erin. Dumating lang talaga sa puntong pagod na pagod na ako. I don't even know who and what to believe anymore. And now, I just want to rest from all of this chaos even if it means going home to France."

"You know that leaving wont make you happy."

Tumango siya. "But leaving will make me safe.. make us safe." Hinaplos niya ang kanyang tiyan. "I need to make a decision Erin. Staying here will put my baby's life in danger and I can't afford to lose him. My baby is my life now."

Erin sighed. "He hurt you, so much. Right? He caused you too much pain. Kaya gugustuhin mo na lang umalis."

Pinili niyang manahimik na lang at huwag ng sagutin ito. Ayaw na muna niyang pag~usapan ang bagay na iyon.

"Napanood ko 'yung news. And I hate that network for making a simple story exaggerated." She said cautiously. Tila ba tinitimbang nito kung ano ang magiging reaksyon niya.
"Alam mo bang nung maisugod ka namin dito sa hospital, agad tinawagan ni kuya iyong network na naglabas ng balita. He had that network closed. Wala siyang pinatawad, he pulled some strings at walang sabi~sabing pinasara agad ang kumpanyang iyon."

She gasped. "He didn't need to do that! Kawawa naman iyong mga taong walang kamalay-malay, nadamay pa tuloy sila."

"Kilala mo si kuya. He can do unnecessary things when he wanted to. Lalong-lalo na pagdating sa inyong mag-ina niya. Nung nasa emergency room ka, he was fuming mad while barking instructions to his secretary about closing that certain network. He used his connections in the business world just to have that network company closed. Heck! I never imagined that he can be that ruthless. Pero alam mo kung ano ang sinabi niya sa akin nang sabihin kong napasobra naman ata ang ginawa niya?" Erin smiled like she remembered something that is really touching. "Lahat kaya kong gawin para sa babaeng mahal ko at sa magiging anak namin, there's no doubt about that. Even if it means bringing a company down... I don't really give a damn. They mess with me and they'll face the wrath of the world."
Honestly, I've never seen kuya react that way. Na para bang kapag ang isa sa inyo nawala, he will probably lose it. Doon ko napatunayan kung gaano kabaliw sa'yo ang kapatid ko. Grabe lang!"

Natahimik siya sa sinabi nito. Naguguluhan na rin kasi siya sa mga nangyayari. Hindi niya alam kung maniniwala o ano.
"He's just guilty you know. He cheated on me." That's her rational side speaking.

"Leian, that model, she's just an old friend. Close sila noon ni kuya dahil pareho sila ng school at magkasama sila sa iisang sports club noong college. One more thing, that Gabriella is getting married."

She smiled softly. "I just want a break from all of this." Sagot niya bilang pag~iwas at para matapos narin ang usapan. Hindi na niya kaya pang magpatuloy pa sa pakikinig, baka mabago pa ang desisyon niya.
Sa ngayon kasi ay gusto na lang muna niyang magpahinga. At kapag nakarinig pa siya ng kung ano mang pruweba kung gaano siya kamahal ni Nate baka tuluyan ng maudlot ang plano niyang pag~alis.
Isa pa, napagod na lang siguro talaga ang utak at ang puso niya. She is emotionally drained, and she badly need a break.

"I~se~settle na lang yung bills and we're free to go."

Napatingin siya kay Lj habang kumakain ng cookies and cream ice cream. "Okay." She beamed while smiling. Five days narin siya sa hospital at gusto na talaga niyang makalabas. Masyado ng marami ang nalanghap niyang alcohol at amoy ng gamot.
