ABKB: The Past (Book 2)

She's Back

(We're back on Ricci's POV ppl)

After I finished the song, nakita kong lumabas si Charlotte halfway sa Amnesia. Is she affected? Hopefully though.

Bumaba ako sa stage as they clapped for me. Lumapit ako kay Kib and asked him about kay Charlotte.

"Ba't lumabas yun? May problema ba?" Nagkatinginan silang lahat ng walang imik. Is something wrong here?

"I.. I think she's back, Cci. Go, follow her outside." Kib smiled.

Tears fell from my eyes as I heard that from Kib. I can't believe it. After ilang months of losing hope na matatandaan pa niya ako, I'm gonna prove myself wrong. Right here, right now, at this very moment.

Lumabas ako sa bar and wiped off the tears na kanina pa bumubuhos because of the intense emotion I am feeling right now. Hindi ko alam kung ano bang dapat maramdaman ngayon. Iiyak ba? Maiinlove ulit? Rejoice? Celebrate? Ugh, I don't know!

My heart broke in pieces. I saw her there. Sa may bermuda, she's crying. Lumapit ako sa kanya and hugged her from the back. Oh how I miss hugging her like this. And I promise, I won't give this hug to someone else ever again.

"C-cci?" She stuttered.

"Yes, baby, I'm here." She hugged me so tight. So tight na parang ayaw ko ng kumalas sa pagkakayakap niya. She snuggled close to my neck like it was a long time ago since she did that.

"I'm sorry if nakalimot ako, I'm sorry if natagalan ako sa pag-remember sa'yo. I'm sorry if I broke your heart nung si Aljun pa kasama ko. But I understand na may mahal ka ng iba, Cci. I just want to say sorry for all I've done. I didn't mean to make you suffer all those times. If I had the power to regain all my memories, I'll do it in one second. I'm so sorry." Patuloy pa rin siya sa pag-iyak. Wait, what? Ano tong pinagsasabi na may mahal na akong iba? Eh siya lang naman mahal ko eh!

"Hey, stop crying. You don't need to say sorry because we all know that you have nothing to do against the amnesia. All of that was a product of an accident. And one thing's for sure, I don't have anyone in my mind right now, except you."

"W-what? Eh ano yung nakita ko sa Twitter? Na may namamagitan raw sa inyo ni Lauren Gonzales?" What the heck? HAHAHAHA!

"No! Nothing's between me and Lauren. She's just the team leader of our group sa report. So, are we clear now?" She nodded.

Pagbalik namin sa loob, everyone seems shocked. Yes guys, we're back.

"May nakalimutan ba tayong i-celebrate dito?" Andrei asked the crowd cheered, rejoicing sa comeback namin.

"We're glad na nagbalik na memory mo Shobe. Now, I won't let you drive alone starting today. We all know na ayaw ng sambayanan na makaliimutan mo si Cci diba?" Kib said, making us all laugh. Yeah, di na dapat siya mag drive mag-isa.

Inilabas ko ang phone ko and snapped a picture of us ni Cha. I then immediately posted it on Twitter and Instagram. This picture is the one that the fans are waiting for, and I'm glad to share the news with them.

The mind may forget, but the heart doesn't. So glad to be back in your arms, baby. @charlottemontalbo_ 💑💑

The fans reacted immediately and I'm happy with it. At least, nakita na nila ang matagal na nilang gustong makita.

I tweeted once again, confirming everything.

@RicciRivero06:
She's back. 💑😍
