WISH UPON A STORM (Montenegro Series #2)

Chapter 23

Dakota's POV.

"How is he?" tanong sakin ni Leo.

Nakasalubong ko sya sa hallway ng ospital.
Inilipat ni Storm si Archer rito dahil mas komportable sya sa mga doktor.

"They had to kept him sedated. Just to be safe bago mag operation"

"I already told you, pwede naman akong tumulong sayo para napa opera na natin si Archer"

"I know pero kung kailan malapit ko ng maabot, gumawa talaga ang tadhana para magkita silang dalawa. It is high time na rin siguro"

"High time? You know what this means"

"What?"

"He wants you"

"He didn't say that!"

"Do you want him to say that Dakota?"

"Leo"

"I don't want to give you up, along the way, akala ko mabibigyan tayo ng chance, before my cousin came back like this in the future. I love you Dakota and know that I love as much as my Dad loved his first love, maybe I even love much more pero I know when to give someone up" lumapit sya sakin at bahagyang hinalikan ang pisngi ko. "I'll see you, hindi na ako makakapag hintay sa loob. I bet Storm knows I knew about Archer all along, he'll kill me" lumayos sya pero mabilis na nahagip ng kamay ko ang pulsuhan nya.

"I'm sorry Leo, hindi ibig sabihin nito ay gusto ko ng makipag ayos sa kanya. I am simply lost and please know that I do not want to hurt you"

"Dakota, pain is part of loving someone, that's how I knew I love you pero alam mo anong mas masakit para sakin?" he looked at me sincerely. "Is when I know you're not happy and if my cousin really loves you, I know he'll bring back those smiles, baka balikan mo na din ang propesyong tinalikuran mo para lang makalimutan sya"

Tears fell from my eyes ng makita kong bumagsak ang mga luha nya.

"I wanted to be the man for you, pero mahirap na kalaban ang itinadhana, you might hate and despise him now pero we both know who he is to you. Mahal na mahal kita Dakota at ito yung pagmamahal na kayang magpalaya, yung pagmamahal na alam kung kailan dapat sumuko. When I gave you up and pretended I have an amnesia, I already lost pero I wanted to give it another try pero sa pangalawang pagkakataon, I lost. Nasasaktan ako pero gusto kong malaman mong mas maluwag ang puso ko ngayon"

"I am so sorry Leo"

"Napapayapa ang puso ko na alam kong yung babaeng mahal ko, masaya kasama ang pamilyang pangarap nya" he bit his lip wiping his tears.

"Leo naman, hindi naman ganoon"

"You will always be my favorite girl, my favorite doctor maybe until I found someone, someone who can look at me, the way you look at him" he stopped and smiled. "I just sure do hope na it is not someone like my mom" he laughed. "You know my mom is really scary"

"Nagbibiro ka pa!"

"Ako na nga tong broken hearted, ikaw pa tong umiiyak" he stepped away. "I won't wipe your tears today, cause those tears are for me, somehow it kinda show how much I mean to you" tumalikod na sya pagkatapos ngumiti pero I just cried even more ng lumakad sya dahil kahit hindi ko makita, I knew he is crying.

I just broke Hunter Leonardo Hermosa's heart again.
The ultimate playboy who turned himself to an angel for me.
The one who always wanted my love and attention is now walking away from me.

Why do I feel so much pain now?
Ano to?

I sat down sa labas ng room ni Archer to calm myself down.
