Reincarnated Hearts 1: MY 1905 SENIORITA

Epilogue

Epilogue

Selina:

"Hija, you survived." Papa Fred voiced.

I survived. We, survived. I looked down and carefully touched my bump—baby bump. I was a week pregnant when I had that accident who almost took both of ourlives. Hindi naging madali ang lahat. I got coma for three months—three bloody months na pinag-alala ko si papa Fred in the situation that I was in. Kahapon palang nang magmulat ako ng mga mata and thanked God that I was alived.

Right after I woke up I was in our farm. I never heard much stories from papa Fred—I need time to contemplate at ayaw ko mang itanong kung..nasaan si..I bit my lower lip.

I clung my head.

I shouldn't think of him. I stop.

I woke up having my father in my side.

That was enough to know kung sino ang pinili niya.

Nakatayo ako sa veranda. Everything's so green and fresh—kaya siguro ako dito dinala ni papa. And to know that I was 3-month pregnant?

"Anak, about Lutther—"

"Papa, I don't want to talk about him." Tumalikod ako at naupo sa tabi ni papa. Ayokong pag-usapan si Lutther and neither know of his plan about our baby.

Kaya ko.

Kakayanin ko.

"But hija, your husband—" A car's honked halted my father to talked and I silently thanked whomever the visitor was. "..oh, your husband, Lutther's here. Siya na ang magpaliwanag sa'yo, hija." Tinapik ni papa ang kamay ko before he left me puzzled. He's here? Lutther? Tumayo ako ulit at dahan-dahang lumapit sa bintana.

Saktong lumabas din ito ng sasakyan at malalaking paper bags ang inilabas mula sa sasakyan nito. He was just wearing this white sando and jeans—wearing his sunglasses saka ito nahinto para tingalain ako sa veranda.

Bakas sa mukha nito ang gulat. Pero 'agad akong nagbawi ng tingin at dali-daling pumasok sa kwarto ko. Damn. I was not ready!

Or was he with me in those three months na na-coma ako?

Nag-ayos ako ng sarili ko matapos kong maligo and requested a haircut dahil masyadong mataas na ang buhok ko—at naiinitan ako. Seemed I gained weight and I could feel my baby's growing fast.

Our baby..

Dinama ko ang umbok ng tiyan ko when soft knocks were heard from the outside of my door. Katatapos ko lang magbihis ng damit. I was planning to have a skin care as well—imagine three months akong walang ligo? Dios ko..

Pero buhay kami ng baby ko—and comatose while pregnant was not a joke.

"Come in." Hindi naman naka-lock ang pintoan. Kakalabas lang ng nag-service sa'kin na hairstylist. The door slowly opened and the guy whom I least expected to get in my life—entered.

With him was a tray full of foods.

What was he trying to prove?

"Selina, it's lunch time. I cook these for you." There was a bright tone in his voice as he stepped in saka inilagay ang tray sa side table. I thought he'd be out and leave me alone but he did not—he sat beside me.

Automically, I distant myself.

He smelled himself, damn funny. "I am sorry, ang baho ko ba? I went to the market and that made me fishy.." He said sabay din distansya sa sarili niya as if sobrang baho nga niya when actually he was not.

"You're weird." I couldn't help not to comment against his actions. The last time I remembered, he did not initiate anything for us to talk matapos may mangyari sa'min—at hindi ko ini-expect na nagbunga ang unang gabing yun..

"Yes, I am. Kain ka na." Kumunot ang noo ko nang abutin niya ang kutsara at tinidor at sinubuan ako ng pagkain. Of course, all the foods he prepared looked so scrumptious at magaling siya mag-dressing ha, so I opened my mouth and ate up. No words I just ate up to my heart's content coz damn, sobrang sarap ng pagkain na niluto niya for me.

Dapit-hapon when I decided to went out the house. I wished to check my e-mails and social media stuffs pero sobrang hina ng signal.

"Saan ka pupunta?" Napaiktad ako. Ba't ba basta-basta nalang siyang sumusulpot sa kung saan? Inirapan ko siya—actually, gusto ko pa siyang iwasan.

Parang kahapon lang naman na iniyakan ko siya nang dalhin niya sa bahay namin si Aurora niya. Tsk.

"Hanap ng signal." Maikling sagot ko rito sabay taas ng phone ko. Damn, gustong-gusto ko sa farm na'to coz the serinity's so at peace pero knowing na ang hina-hina ng signal at may lugar pa palang gan'to? Tss..

A better diet for social stressors, away from all toxic chemicals from the city. Kasama na sana si Lutther—he was on the top of the most toxic stressor sa buhay ko.

When his cold hand reached mine. Nagulat ako at dumako ang mga mata ko sa kamay niya sa palad ko. Hindi ako ngumiti—I raised a brow actually. Akmang hihilahin ko ang kamay ko pabalik pero hinigpitan niya ang pagkakahawak sabay sumilay ang isang ngiti na hindi ko inaasahan.

"Come, I perfectly knew where that place is." Sabi sabay sa'kin at tinahak namin ang mabatong daan patungo sa sinasabi nito. I felt his comfort behind my back habang naglalakad kami ngayon sa ilalim ng kakahoyan.

"There! Malakas ang signal sa punong yan, Selina.." Turo nito. I followed where he was pointing and it was that huge tree near the river bank. I hardly noticed the river—meron pala ba't parang hindi ko 'ata na-explore 'to noon?

Nang makalapit na nga kami sa puno all the messages and notifications popped out. Sobrang lakas nga naman ng signal banda rito!

What was he staring at?

He was touching something on the tree and seriously staring at. Ano yun? Lumapit ako rito and was standing behind him.

Selina, Te amo.

Lukas.

Saka hinuli ni Lutther ang gulat kong mga mata. I never imagined that was..scupltured in that tree. Was it real? Totoo ba?

"Matagal na pala talagang nakaukit ang ating tadhana, seniorita.." Ginanap niya ulit ang dal'wa kong mga kamay at hinalikan. "Please forgive me for not loving you early, Selina. Now, that you woke up already gaya ng araw-araw kong dinarasal—please tell me, you still want me? I will be the best husband..and the best father of our child. Please want me back, mi seniorita.." Nagtatalo ang puso't isipan ko kung dapat ko ba siyang paniwalaan ngayon dahil—dahil parang kahapon lang naman ang mga nangyari.

"P-Paano si.."

"Forget everyone, please. What's important is to build our new family—magbabago ako. Patutunayan ko sa'yo na mahal na mahal kita.." He was heartfuly sincere and everything was so cordial. Talaga bang naaalala na niya an gaming nakaraan?

K-Kaya ba ako nabuhay?

Coz I was destined to die—that was supposed to be the story of my life. Yet he loves me—that saved me..

"Your love save me, Lutther." Namuo ang mga luha ko sa mata kahit ayokong umayak ngayon sa harapan niya.

"You save my life, Selina.." Saka niya ako niyakap ng mahigpit, sobrang higpit na bahagya ko na siyang naitulak dahil mukhang nakalimutang nitong may naiipit na baby..

"Ow, sorry baby.. I will be the best dad, I will promise you that!" Sabay halik sa tiyan ko at bumalik sa'kin and caught my lips.
