Byaheng Forever

Nandito sila ngayon sa opisina. Ang pakiramdam ni Kath ay bumalik ulit sila sa awkward stage. Hindi siya sigurado kung sila pa ba ni Daniel o kung mahal pa ba siya ni Daniel. Kahit na sinabihan na siya ni Daniel ay hindi niya paring maiwasan na hindi mapakali. Natatakot siya na kukunin siya ni Jane or ng ibang babae na nahuhumaling sa kanya. She hated herself for thinking that way. She hated herself for what she did. She hated herself for being so immature and selfish but she couldn't turn back time now. Instead she's suffering the consequences of her own actions.

She asked desperately Arisse for an advice. She doesn't know what to do. Kaya makikipagkita siya ngayon kay Arisse sa mall. Bigla siyang tumayo at nakita iyon ni Daniel but she felt hurt when he didn't even asked her where she was going like he used to do. Umalis na agad si Kathryn.

Pagkarating niya sa mall ay agad siyang pumunta sa lugar kung saan sila magkikita ni Arisse. She then saw her sitting down at a table that is near the corner. Kumaway siya at napatayo si Arisse at binuksan ang kanyang mga kamay. She hugged her tightly.

"Hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko Ice." sabi ni Kathryn

Arisse felt sorry for her, she knew what Kath did all along and she knew she has also a fault in the process.

Umupo sila at nagkwentuhan kung paano nalaman ni Daniel.

"Kaya yun sabi niya to give him time to heal pero paano kapag nag heal na siya, hindi na pala niya ako mahal Ice?" naiiyak na sabi ni Kath

"Kath, hindi naman ata possible yan." sagot ni Ice sa kanya

Still Kath wasn't convinced enough. "Hindi niya ako pwedeng iwan Ice, may twins kami."

"Kaya nga impossoble diba kasi mahal ka niya at may anak na kayo. Kaya chill ka lang diyan, okay?" sabi ni Arisse sa kanya.

She was slightly convinced but not that much. Arisse adviced her to show Daniel that she could be a wife material, na dapat ay inaalagan niya si Daniel. She thought that it was a good one and she was starting now.

Bumalik siya sa office nila na may dalang steak na paborito ni Daniel. Pagbukas ng pinto ay nakita niya itong tambak parin sa trabaho.

Hindi niya alam kung ano ba ang itatawag niya kung Dj ba or Love but since she was slightly confident she decided to call him love.

"Love." Mga ilang seconds pagkatapos sabihin ni Kathryn ay tumingin sa kanya si Daniel. She could really see a stressed out Dj.

"Ano?" malamig na sabi ni Daniel

"Ummm... I bought you a steak for your lunch. Kumain na kasi ako kaya kumain ka na rin." malambing na sabi ni Kathryn sa Kanya

Daniel on the other hand felt Kath's thoughtfulness but he was not yet healing. Everytime he looks at Kathryn he can always remember the pain that she brought to him. Mahal niya naman si Kathryn pero siguro kailangan niya pa ng oras na maging maayos ang kanyang puso upang buong buo na niyang mamahalin si Kath.

Masakit man para sa kanya but he needs to have distance with her, "Tapos na akong kumain." malamig niyang sagot

Her heart ached pero she was still determined to get her Dj back. She did a lot of things for him like being a clingy girlfriend and asked him where he was going to go, giving him constant water or food. Mga ilang araw narin siguro iyon nangyayari. Since she was so determined of taking care of Daniel, hindi niya naatupagan ang kanyang sarili at nagkasakit siya.

Halos hindi na siya maka ahon sa kanyang kama. Pinagbawalan niya ang kanyang kambal na pumasok sa kwarto dahil baka sila ay mahawaan pero naging makulit ito at pinayagan na niyang pumasok.

"Mommy, where is daddy?" biglang tanong ni Isabel sa kanya na hindi niya inaasahang tanungin sa kanya.

"Daddy's at work baby." sagot ni Kath

"But mommy, he should be here and take care of you when you are sick. That's what daddy's do to mommy's." sabi ni Isabel sa kanya.

"But daddy dj is very busy, Elle. That's why he can't come here." paliwanag ni Kathryn sa kanya.

Nakita niyang may binulong si Gabriel sa kanyang kambal agad naman ngumisi si Isabel na para bang may tinatago.

"Share naman your secret with mommy." Sabi ni Kath sa kanila

Tumingin lang si Isabel sa kanya at tumawa agad naman silang umalis.

Walang ka alam alam si Kath na may binabalak ang kanyang mga kambal.

Isang oras ang nakalipas at may kumatok sa kanyang pintuan, she was too weak to stand up so she just said in a pained voice, "p-pasok."

Agad naman pumasok ulit ang kanyang kambal.

"We're here to take care of you mommy." Sabi ni Gabriel sa kanya

Kathryn smiled weakly, "You don't have to baby. You'll just get sick." Sabi niya

"That's why daddy is here to take care of mommy because daddy loves mommy." Biglang sabi ng isang lalaki. Agad naman nagulat si Kath sa narinig na boses. She knows too damn well whose voice was that.

Sa pintuan ay nakatayo si Daniel na nakapambahay lang at may dalang breakfast na may mga gamot.

"Kath, bakit di mo ako simabihan?" Tanong ni Daniel sa kanya

It made her heart skip a beat. She was happy to know that he still cares.

"I didn't want to bother you." Diretsong sabi ni Kathryn sa kanya

"You were never a bother to me Kath. Kahit hindi man tayo gaano ka okay ngayon, I still care Kath." Sabi ni Daniel sa kanya

She smiled weakly. Akala niya ay tapos nang magsalita si Daniel ngunit hindi pa pala.

"Kung hindi pa ako tinawagan ng mga anak natin. Hindi ko sana malalaman na may sakit ka." Inis niyang sabi

"Im sorry." Sabi ni Kathryn.

Nilapag ni Daniel ang tray at pinipilit ni Kath na umahon galing sa kama pero agad siyang tinulungan ni Daniel. She thinks that her sickness is a blessing in disguise for her to spend time with Daniel.

Susubuan sana siya ni Daniel ngunit nag protesta siya, "Kaya ko naman." Mahina niyang sabi

"Don't be so hard headed and let me do my role as your boyfriend, okay?" Sabi ni Daniel sa kanya

Nakalimutan niyang nasa kwarto pa niya ang kanilang kambal, ito ay nag gagawa ng pang asar na boses.

"Aww, Daddy is so sweet to mommy. Do you love her Daddy Dj?" Tanong ni Isabel sa kanya

"Ofcourse I do Elle, more than my life." this answer made her cells jumped with delight

Pinalabas na ni Daniel ang kambal dahil baka ay mahawa na sila ng tuluyan, buti nalang ay pinalaki silang masunurin ni Kathryn.

Pagkatapos kumain ni Kath ay pinunasan siya ni Daniel at pinalitan ng damit. Noong humiga na si Kath ay humiga na rin si Daniel sa kanyang tabi. Again there was this awkward silence but she knows she needs to break it.

"Umalis ka na, baka mahawa ka pa sa akin." sabi ni Kathryn sa kanya

"Okay lang naman Tangi." This was the first time that he had called her tangi after he knew that she lied to him.

"I'm sorry Love." hindi na mapigilan na iyak ni Kathryn.

"I'm sorry din Tangi. I've been so cold to you for the past few days. Tignan mo you got sick because of me." sabi ni Daniel sa kanya

"No, it's my fault. I kept them from you Love." sagot ni Kathryn sa kanya

"Let's just talk about this tomorrow. Magpagaling ka muna. I want to know all about our twins." sabi ni Daniel sa kanya at tumango naman si Kathryn

He wrapped his arms around her and placed her head into his chest. She was slowly falling asleep as he played with her hair and as she smelled his scent.

Baka mag update ako mamaya or bukas😊💕
