[71.2] It's Back

[71.2] IT'S BACK

GAIL'S POV

"What took you so long?" bungad niya sa akin.

I expelled a deep breath and then tried myself to approach him coolly like nothing has happened back inside the utility room. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya na siyang nagpalambot sa expression ng mukha niya. He must be surprised by my sudden gesture.

"S...sumama lang ang pakiramdam ko, pero ayos na ako ngayon," dahilan ko.

Fifth touched my cheek and thoughtfully studied my face. My heart was literally flipping inside me but I managed to look calm infront of him. Ayokong mahalata niyang may nangyari sa loob.

"Are you sure you're fine?"

I sighed and then pulled him away from the track. "Ayos lang ako. Tara na. Bilhin na natin ang dapat na bilhin para makauwi na agad tayo."

Kasunod ang mga bodyguards ay naglakad kami pabalik sa jewelry shop. I was about to pull away when he tightened his hold on mine. Pasikreto ko siyang tinignan habang naglalakad kami, at napansin ko ang maliit na ngiti sa labi niya.

I swallowed very hard as I turned to look at my back. There, I saw Kurt's figure staring straight at us. He pointed his lips at my hand with Fifth's and then, he moved his hands as though he's telling me to call him up.

"What are you looking at?"

Binawi ko ang tingin ko nang huminto si Fifth at luminga-linga sa direksyon ng tinitignan ko. Halos magwala na ang puso ko sa kaba nang mapatingin din dun. I sighed with relief when I saw no Kurt's figure anymore. He must have left. Ang bilis talaga niyang kumilos.

"Ano bang tinitignan mo dun? Do you wanna eat there?"

Umiling lang ako at hinila nang muli ang kamay niya. "Let's go inside before I change my mind."

How on earth can I call Kurt? I don't have a phone for God's sake! Ugh!

"Sleep well. Sweet dreams, Crystal." Fifth leaned on me to plant a soft kiss on my forehead. As usual, I felt nothing with the gesture. 

Hinawakan niya ang ulo ko bago niya ako pinagbuksan ng pinto ng kwarto ko. Mabilis kong ni-lock ang pinto at tumakbo sa kama para humiga.

Bumuga ako ng hangin habang nakatitig sa kisame. Nakabili na kami ng wedding ring ni Fifth. The rings were nice yet it would be a lot nicer if I'll wear it with the one I really love, and that's definitely not Fifth or anyone else.

"Kurt..." bulong ko at ipinikit ang mga mata ko. I pasted a warm smile on my lips as I remember what happened awhile ago.

It was really unbelievable...

"I'm back... My memories got back, Crystal." 

Walang nagsalita sa aming dalawa pagkatapos niyang sabihin 'yon. Tila ba nagpapakiramdaman kami. Sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko habang nakayakap siya sa akin ng mahigpit. Dahan-dahan kong ginalaw ang ang mga braso ko mula sa jacket niya pataas sa likod niya.

Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit.

"Crystal, I can remember everything now. I don't know how it happened but all I know is that I'm complete."

I nearly caught my own breath as he sniffed through my hair. Gusto kong magsalita pero ni hindi ko maibuka ang mga labi ko.

"Crystal..."

Hindi ko alam kung anong eksaktong nararamdaman ko sa mga oras na ito pero isa lang ang sinisigurado ko. Pakiramdam ko ay sasabog ang puso ko sa sobrang saya.
