Chapter 15: Wife's Benefits ~

 

Dale's POV:

 

                This morning, I'm inside my suite talking to someone at my phone and walking back and forth. Bigla akong napatingin sa malaking bintana ng suite ko, napansin ko na parang nagdidilim doon sa may malayong parte ng dagat. Bigla na lang din ay napabalikwas ako at nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ang isang higanteng alon doon sa dagat.

                "Oh shit!", sambit ko.

                Agad akong tumakbo palabas dahil papunta dito ang isang malaking tsunami. It was so fast that in any minute all will be wiped out. Tumakbo na ako sa labas ng mga suite at hinahanap ang hagdan. Kailangan kong makaakyat sa mataas na lugar. I need to get to the rooftop.

                While running, I heard a loud cry of a girl in one of the suites in here calling her dad. I looked where it came from and knocked on the door. It was opened, so I came in and saw Allison in my surprise, Xenia's daughter.

                "Daddy!", she cried aloud.

                "Princess!", I shouted.

                She looked at me and was surprised. Maybe she thought I was her dad. Well I guess her dad used to call her princess.

                "Let's go!", I said and tried to grab her arm.

                "Where's my daddy?", she cried still.

                "Maybe he's outside. Let's get out of here now!"

                Sabay kaming napatingin sa labas ng bintana. There's no time to run anymore. A giant wave of tsunami was in front of us and about to eat us now. I just grabbed her arm and hugged her para hindi siya masaktan. I just closed my eyes and waited for that tsunami to eat us. Then a huge wave went through us. The window was scattered into pieces and the impact was very strong and I could almost die.  Everything was covered by water. Sa sobrang lakas ng agos ay tinangay na kami ng alon. Patuloy ko pa ring yakap yakap si Allison na nahihirapan na ring huminga sa ilalim ng tubig. Agad akong lumangoy paakyat sa itaas ng tubig, pero sobrang lalim namin. Hindi ako makahanap ng butas paakyat. Everything inside the hotel was wrecked. Ang daming mga gamit ang nagsisilanguyan sa ilalim ng tubig. And thank God dahil nakaahon kami. But Allison was unconcious and wasn't breathing. Bigla akong nataranta at agad siyang hiniga sa sahig.

                "Allison, wake up!", I shouted and tried to wake her.

                Hindi talaga siya gumigising, so I did a mouth to mouth to her and pumped her chest. I did it twice, but she's still unconcious. I'm afraid I might lose her.

                "Allison, no, no. You have to wake up. Your mom is waiting, please!", I cried.

                I did the CPR again and the mouth to mouth to make her concious back. I was about to cry when I can't revive her. Siguradong hindi ito matatanggap ni Xenia kapag nawala si Allison sa kanya. I have to save her. And I tried my best once again to save her, but she's still unconcious. I was about to give up. Napaupo na lang ako sa tabi niya. Naiiyak ako. Why she have to suffer like this? Ni hindi man lang niya ako natawag na daddy kahit isang beses. Hindi ko man lang na-experience na maging daddy sa kanya. I just vowed down and hugged my knees. I was hoping for miracle that God can get her back. And that miracle happened. Nakita ko na bahagyang gumalaw ang kamay niya. Nagkaroon ako ng pag-asa na hindi pa siya patay. I did the CPR again, pumped her chest hanggang sa lumabas ang mga tubig na nainom niya at bumalik ang malay niya.
