His Wife (HMW book 2) [COMPLETE]

Chapter Twelve

Nath's POV

Di ko alam pero napangiti na lang ako nang imulat ko ang aking mga mata. The sun is greeting me with a smile.

Kinapa ko naman ang tabi ko. Wala na siya? I sighed. Inayos ko na ang sarili ko at saka lumabas. Baka nasa labas lang si Vernon.

I smiled as I remember what happened last night.

Wala namana kong nagawa kundi ang hayaan siya. Andami niyang nagawa para sa'kin ngayong araw at pagod na rin akong makipagtalo pa. We just stayed like that for a while.

Ramdam ko ang pag-amoy niya sa buhok ko pati na rin samay batok. Nakikiliti tuloy ako.

"I miss you" maya-maya pa ay narinig kong bulong niya. And then I felt his lips on my temple. He's leaving small kisses there.

Ganon lang naman ang pwesto namin. Him hugging me as we watch the stars above us. I don't know but I honestly don't feel awkward right now, In fact I feel at peace. At home...

"I wish I've done this before" He uttered but I just stay quiet.

"but I can't bring back the past, Nath. Di ko na mababawi pa ang mga nagawa ko noon. Di ko na mababawi pa ang lahat. The pains, the fears, the marks. I'm so sorry my love." I stay stilled. Nakikinig lang ako sa mga sinasabi niya.

"I've never regret what I've done before, Nath. Cause I have reasons. Ang ipinagsisisi ko lang ay ang pagiging duwag ko noon. Nagsisisi ako kung bakit di ko ginawa ang mga bagay na dapat sana ay ginawa ko noon." Naramdaman ko namang medyo bumasa ang balikat ko. Meron ring tumulo sa gilid ng pisngi ko. Umiiyak ba siya?

"I'm so sorry for what I have done before, my love. I'm so sorry for all the pains and tears I have given to you. But please... let me... Let me love you in the future, Nath. I can't bring back the past but I promise you that I will fight for the future, My Love. Just please... Let me... Let me live you the way you did love me before." tama ang hinala ko na umiiyak siya. Di ko alam ang sasabihin.

This man... This is the man I used to love. The man I used to cherish. But this man here is also the man who I despised before for killing my father and my children. Di ko alam ang gagawin. Di ko alam ang sasabihin.

"Stop crying, you idiot. Ang bading mo" natatawang biro ko saka pinunasan ang luha niya. I just smiled at him.

"I honestly don't know what to say, Vernon. But I just hope that the both of us can already let go and move on from the past. I don't want to live in that pain Vernon, and so I hope you too." yun lang ang sinabi ko saka siya binigyan ng isang matamis na ngiti.

I can see sadness, pain, and longing in his eyes. But other than that there are more,but I just don't know what exactly is it.

Di ko alam pero bigla ko na lang siyang niyakap. I felt him hugged me back too.

"Thanks. Thank you for teaching me how to love, Vernon. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. Thank you for making me stronger than before." I don't know why but my chest feels light.

Tahimik lang siya and we stayed like that for a while and then I heard him chuckled whe he heard me yawn.

"Go on, matulog ka na, maaga pa tayo bukas." kumalas siya sa pagkakayakap sa'kin saka iniharap ako sa kanya. He leave a kiss on my forehead. I just smile to that.

"Saan ka matutulog?" tanong ko.

"Dito na lang sa couch. Alam ko namang di ka papayag" natahimik naman ako. Eh kase naman, aish! nakakakonsensya ah.
