PAUL

Sakop ng kanyang dalawang palad ang kanyang mukha habang nakaupo sa couch malapit sa kinahihigaan ni Annie. Dahil narin a kanyang impluwensya at pera ay sa isang malaki at malakwartong suit na-admit ang dalaga. For him, this is the least thing he could do.

Marahan niyang hinaplos ang kamay ni Annie habang mahimbing itong natutulog. Naalala pa niya ang araw na nagpaalam ito sa dalaga at inaming hindi na niya ito mahal.

"I was so selfish...." utal niya sa sarili.

Isang masaganang luha ang umagos mula sa kanyang mata.

"Please... fight for us. Gagawin ko ang lahat gumaling ka lang.."

It has been 3 days pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin sya makatulog ng maayos. Hindi siya pinapatulog ng kanyang konsensya.

Or, is it his heart that makes his feelings uncomfortable?

flash back

He is still smelling her fragrance. Something he can't resist everytime that he sees her. He tightened his arms wrapped around her waist.

If he could just end their prenuptial agreement now so he could start proposing.

Two more weeks and it's done...
konting tiis nalang..

Ngunit, isang maagang tawag ang pakiramdam niya'y biglang gumising sa kanya mula sa isang magandang panaginip.

"Si Mr. Paul Trinidad po ba ito? Sorry po, pero wala po kaming ibang matawagan e. Kayo lang po yung nasa phone ng pasyente."

Lumakas ang tibok ng kanyang dibdib. Pakiramdam niya'y may hindi magandang balita.

"Sir. yung girlfriend nyo po, si Annie. Nasa hospital at malubha ang kalagayan. Hinahanap kayo eh, nagwawala at hindi maawat ng mga doktor.."

End of flashback

He can't imagine how happy he was that he was about to set aside Annie. At ngayon, mas lalo siya nitong kailangan.

"She has brain cancer, the tumor hasn't spread yet according to her tests.. She could go under operation but I could not guaranty if she will survive it. She needs to undergo different tests and observations before the operation."

Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang kanyang pinakawalan. He can't just wait like that. Kahit pa iyon ang advice ng doktor ni Annie, nakapagpasya na siyang dadalhin niya ito sa US para doon ipagamot.

ANDREA

She has turned her lamp off when she heard her door opened. She immediately turned the lights on when she heard someone walked towards her bed.

"Paul.."

He's not saying any word. He is not wearing his cold face anymore. Pakiramdam ni Andrea ay gusto niya itong yakapin dahil sa lungkot na bumabalot sa kanyang mga mata.

"Are you okay?" halos paos na ang kanyang boses dahil hindi niya alam kung tama ba iyong tanong niya.

Ngunit tanging iling lang ang tugon nito at marahang naupo sa gilid ng kama. Agad namang tumabi si Andrea para pagmasdan ang asawa.

"She has brain tumor... and it's not just killing her, it's killing me.."

He choked while saying it.. Magkahalong luha at hikbi ang pinakawalan nito. Ang lalakeng kilala niya bilang malakas at matapang ay umiiyak sa kanyang harapan dahil sa isang babae.
