The Return Of The Wife {Book 2}

Chapter 43

*Calla's P.O.V*

Nagising ako sa isang silid na puro puti ang paligid. Ang una kong naramdaman ay sakit sa likod ng ulo ko at ang pagkatuyo ng aking mga labi at lalamunan.

Umikot yung mata ko sa kwarto hanggang sa nadapo ang tingin ko sa isang lalakeng na nakaupo at nakayuko sa gilid ko habang hawak hawak ang kamay ko. Those black soft hair.

Ginalaw ko ng kaunti ang kamay na nakahawak sakanya pero agad na umangat ang ulo niya sabay hinigpitan ang hawak sa kamay ko. His look has a hardened expression but sooner turned back into sa softer one when he saw that there was no danger.

He stood up and reached for the intercom while still holding my hand. "She's awake" he said shortly before letting go of my hand and making his way to the table in the corner.

Inikot ko ang mata ko sa kwarto at doon ko napagtanto na dalawa pala ang pintuan, siguro isang exit at isang CR. May table sa isang sulok ng silid na may prutas at bulaklak at meron ding sofa sa may malapit sa kama ko at mayroon doon kumot na di pa tinitiklop at isang unan.

May dextrose na nakakabit saakin sa kaliwang kamay ko at napansin ko may metal tray sa kanan ko at nightstand sa kaliwa ko.

Bumalik si Ash sa tabi ko dala yung isang baso ng tubig at pinatong iyon sa nightstand. Kumuha siya ng puting remote control "Just relax" may pinindot siya dun na nagpaangat ng kama ko ng slight, nung una nagulat ako pero nagrelax naman ako agad agad.

After the tranformation of the bed came to a full stop, nakaangat na ang upper part ng body ko, saka niya inabot ang tubig. Inalalayan niya ko inumin iyon.

After satisfying my thirst, the door burst in open revealing a nurse who was out of breath- obviously on a rush. She immediately bowed and mumbled a sorry.

"You took exactly 3 minutes and 54 seconds to get here and you call yourself a professional?" His voice was stern and his eyes shot glares to the poor nurse.

"Give her a break, she's an intern" Sabi ng isang babae na kakagaling sa likod ng nurse. Now this girl is wearing a doctor's coat.

"You're no exception, Alexandra. You know I don't give special treatments when you work under me. And you should've known better than bringing an intern to this patient" Kita ko ang pag-igting ng panga nitong Alexandra bago ito lumingon sa nurse na nakayuko padin sa kahihiyaan.

"Please bring in nurse Ramon" utos ng doktor sa nurse na agad sumunod. "You should control your temper-"

"You don't tell what to do, Alex." Each of his words was emphasized which made his aura darker.

Lumapit sa kinororoonan ko si Alexandra at inilabas ang stethoscope niya. She checked my heartbeat and thankfully it was normal. Maya maya dumating na rin si nurse Ramon na kumuha ng blood sample ko at umalis lang din agad. Alexandra continued checking my vitals.

She smiled, "You're pretty normal, you don't show any state of aftershock after the event. It's like you were almost used to it happening" I want to tell her that I am, I am used to this happening all the time. "You're experiencing pain on your head through your back, right?" I absentmindedly nodded my head.

"So, you were asleep for 6 days and you have a lot of painkillers to intake, I'm going to prescribe you these medicines, okay?" She was writing on her doctor notepad, probably the prescription, while I was just watching. She then proceeded outside where Ash was waiting.

In less than a minute Ash was back inside the room emptyhanded which made me curious.

"I ordered the medicines prescribed for you, it might come after some time. I made sure they're syrup" Thank God, I can't deal with tablets.

Good thing he still remembers.

Wait, he remembers.

He knew.

"Y-you knew," The tension in the air is filled with awkwardness, it's quite suffocating.

He stepped closer, and every step he took, left me breathless. I'm gonna faint- was what I was thinking when he was getting closer and closer until he reaches my bedside and leant down until our face was just inches away from each other.

"Baby, I knew, I knew since day 1." He whispered with a smirk playing in his lips. My heart feels like it was going to burst, I felt mixed emotions. Relief, confusion, scared.

"How?" I barely managed to ask.

His soft fingers caressed my face lightly like he was caressing something so delicate. "What can I say, you married one hella mafia boss, huh?" That narcissism is hot, I must say. But I dismissed that thought and focused on the topic here.

"I was really devastated when you left me, Calla. Those were the most torturous 2 months of my life, until I got a hint that you were living with MJ, eversince you ran out of home."

"From time to time, I drink, a lot to ease the pain and to search for the answer of why aren't you coming back to my arms? At first I thought you were scared but why so?"

"I love you so much that even if you plant hundred knives in my body, I would still forgive you and let you in my life again"

"The school you studied in, was owned by me. I had an appointment with the school and when I was informed that you were one of the person who was going to greet me first hand, I got scared and backed out"

"The coffee shop? I always go there time to time and hide inside my car in the parking lot  and would watch you from afar, that really aches my heart"

"Remember that day when you served an order to my driver? I was the one on the shotgun seat pretending to be asleep because of my cowardness"

"The day on the hospital, I knew I would see you there but you on top of that guy- caught me off guard. It took all my willpower to shoot at him right there and then"

"Calla, I love you so much that it aches."

"Even if you keep hurting me, I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you, my love."

"Please come back, Calla, wife, you have my heart, my love, my attention. I'm all yours. Please come back home."

In his story, I felt so silly. He's already crying and I am getting teary-eyed. This is the man that I truly love, and will only love. After this encounter, I don't think I could handle it if I lose this man again.

I cupped his wet cheeks and I can see a sparkle in his eyes when he met mine. Although I was the one who made the first move, he was the one who made the grand move.

He leaned, and with our eyes closed, our lips touched like fireworks and magic.
