Deanna
Bakit lumuhod si Kuya Apeng?
Yun na yung office ni Jessica diba?
Ano akala niya sa asawa ko? Poon?
I walked faster.
Nauna kasi sila papunta sa kanya dahil kinausap ko pa sandali si Mama Fe.
Kuya Apeng is covering his face to hide his suppressed laugh.
I was only three strides away when I suddenly heard a scream.
Biglang tumayo si Kuya Apeng at si Jeric naman biglang pumasok sa office.
I hurriedly entered the room.
Jeric is holding my wife.
Sa position nila, with him kneeling on the floor and Jessica lying on his arms, it was obvious that she passed out.
He carried my wife into the couch.
She...
She got thinner.
Her looks says it all.
She has gone through so much.
I heard the door closed.
I held her closer.
Nakaluhod ako sa sahig.
Jessica opened her eyes.
Hindi siya nagsasalita.
Nakatingin lang siya sa akin.
I saw tears starting to pour down from her eyes.
She lifted her right hand and placed it on my chest.
She's feeling my heartbeat.
I nodded a hundred times.
Yes Baby...
My heart's still beating.
I pulled it through.
For you.
And also for Dem and Dev.
I smiled at her.
It felt so good to be alive.
It was really worth it.
"Deanna, look at you!"
Bumangon siya bigla.
Medyo delayed ang mga reactions ko sa kanya.
I am still in awe.
"Hoy! Ang payat-payat mo na!"
Okay lang yun.
Ang mahalaga naman kinaya kong mabuhay at makabalik sa'yo.
But I did not say it out loud.
I chose to stay quiet.
