Chapter 43

I stayed at the hospital three days before the doctor decided to finally discharge me. Three days passed but the traumatic experience Danica and his men had given me is still vividly sketched inside my mind.

If not because of Lewis, I wouldn't be able to wake up every single day without being hysterical.

The happiness and relief washed over my soul right after I saw my children again.

"Mommy!" my twins exclaimed as we embraced each other.

Come to think of it. If I didn't manage to survive that tragedy, I wouldn't be able to see my twins again. I wouldn't be able to hear their laughters and laugh with them, and see their smiles that never fails to brighten my day.

Nagpasalamat ako kina Giesel at Nikki para sa pag-alaga sa anak namin ni Lewis habang nakaratay ako sa ospital.

Isa-isa kong hinagkan ang mga noo ng aking mga anak bago sila niyakap ulit.

"I missed you, my babies."

Para makabawi sa halos isang buwan kong hindi sila nakasama, hindi ko muna pinagtuunan ng pansin ang ibang bagay at ibinuhos ko ang aking oras sa aming mga anak sa loob ng isang linggo.

Wala akong nakalap na balita tungkol sa mga dumakip sa akin at kay Danica dahil ibinilin ko kay Lewis na ayoko munang makinig patungkol dito.

Kahit na okay na ang aking pakiramdam ngayon dahil sa nangyari, hindi ko pa rin maitatanggi na sariwa pa rin sa akin ang mga nangyari sa loob ng bodegang iyon.

Nakaligtas man ako, may mga sugat na nag-iwan ng bakas na hindi na naalis sa aking katawan. These scars somehow became my constant reminder of that tragedy.

Napabuntong-hininga ako nang nakita ko si Lewis na nakaupo sa sofa ng aming bahay. Hindi muna ako lumapit sa kanya at napagpasyahan na pagmasdan muna siya mula sa may hagdanan.

He grew stubbles on his jaw and I noticed how his hair grew longer than before.

Bahagya akong nakaramdam ng awa pagkakita sa kanyang hitsura. But despite of his current look, it didn't make him look less attractive. In fact, he looks handsome on it. Hindi naman sa hindi siya guwapo noon. He only looks... rougher and dirtier this time.

Ilang araw na siyang hindi mapakali dito sa aming bahay dahil kinailangan niyang umalis upang asikasuhin ang kaso nina Danica at ng kanyang mga tauhan. Naiintindihan ko kung gaano siya ka-busy dahil siya rin ang kasalukuyang nagpapatakbo ngayon sa Razul Company kasama na rin ang kanyang sariling kompanya dahil ayon sa kanya, hindi na muna daw ako magtatrabaho at dapat sa bahay na muna.

I didn't argue with that because just like what he wanted, I also like his idea.

I looked at him for five minutes before I finally decided to go near him. He stood up upon seeing me.

At first, I wondered what he was planning do when he went in front of me but I was taken aback when he suddendly crouched down and kissed my forehead.

I felt a warm hand touched my heart because of his sudden action. When I tried to find his gaze, he looked at me with pure care in his eyes.

"Good morning," he softly muttered.

"Good morning. Did you sleep?" nag-aalala kong tanong nang napansin ang mga mata niyang malalalim at halatang pagod.
