It was five in the morning when she woke up and up until now ay heto siya at nakatulala sa picture ng asawa sa kanyang tabi. Her heart aches while recalling the last time they saw each other. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang pumasok sa kanyang isip at nagawa niya iyon. Is it because of fear? Natatakot ba siya na lumambot na naman at maging marupok dito? Maybe.. After letting Jason touch her like that, bigla siyang nakaramdam ng pandidiri. Pandidiri sa sarili. She spent almost four hours scrubbing her body, erasing the traces that man left.
She sigh and gaze outside the balcony on her bedroom. She's such an idiot and.. a whore, for letting someone kiss and touch her while she still have a wife. Parang pinatunayan na rin niya na tama ang pag aakusa noon sa kanya ng asawa. Nakalimutan niyang magpakatao pa dahil lang sa nabulag na siya ng matinding galit.
She's disappointed with herself. Alam niyang tama na ang pananakit niya kay Ava. She literally abused her at talagang sumobra na siya. Now, because of her craziness, ayaw na nitong magpakita. Wala silang makuha na lead kung nasaan ito. May mga nakukuha man minsan ngunit pagkarating nila sa lugar ay wala na ito o matagal nang napadpad doon at nakaalis.
She glance back at the picture and she can't help but bit her lip to prevent her sob to come out. Tears were already blurring her eyesight. Ilang atlraw na lang din ay birthday na ng anak niya and the only wish her daughter want is Ava being able to attend her birthday celebration. Her mom knew what happened already at muntikan pa siya nito masampal nang malaman nito na nagpahawak siya sa ibang lalaki. She couldn't believe it either. Pinigil lamang ito ng kuya niya na kararating lang din galing sa ibang bamsa kasama ang asawa nito.
They were disappointed with her but they still choose to try and understand her. She's fucked up.
Hindi na niya napigilan ang sarili at pahagulhol na sana nang biglang magring ang cellphone niya at nakita na si Zaddiel ang tumatawag.
Bwisit! Moment na niya para magdrama ng sobra, e!
"H-Hello?" She answered and prevent herself from making a sound ngunit hindi naman niya naitago rito dahil narinig niya ang pagbuntong hininga nito sa kabilang linya.
"Get up, Maddy. Ruce found her location. So get your ass up and go there!"
Napasinghap siya sa balita nito at napatigil sa pag iyak. They found her! Her mind exclaimed.
"Tumayo ka na dyan at maligo. Magpaganda at isesend ko sayo ang address. Luluhod ka pa remember?"
Kahit kagagaling lang niya sa pag iyak ay hindi niya napigilan na mapairap sa ere dahil sa sinabi nito. Napakabastos! Sa lahat ng sasabihin nito ay iyon pa ang naalala ng bruha.
"I won't. Maliligo na ako. I need to get there, asap!"
She was about to end the call when Zaddiel muttered the words that she's afraid of. "Sige! Subukan mong hindi luhuran si Ava! Papaluhurin ulit kita sa munggo with asin this time!" Napalunok siya saka pekeng tumawa na medyo nauutal pa.
"J-Joke lang! Luluhod na mamaya!"
She heard her say 'good' kaya nakahinga siya ng maluwag ngunit napanganga na lamang siya sa sumunod na sinabi nito bago patayin ang tawag.
"I need proof kaya magselfie ka habang nakasubo!"
Um, gago?
She's driving papunta sa sinend na location ni Ruce sa kanya. It was a familiar road because they already went here. Papasok na siya sa private property kung saan tumambay pa sila ni Zaddiel noong nakaraan. And that woman she saw, might be Ava. Ang tanga lang niya at hindi ito nilapitan. Edi sana ay nagkaayos na sila noon pa man. O nakausap na niya ito.
Ruce found her address by blackmailing a doctor in a certain hospital. Kilala itong doctor at pagmamay ari rin nito ang hospital na pinagtatrabahuan. Investor pala si Ruce roon at minsang umattend ng meeting nang marinig niyang may kausap itong nurse na magdadala ng gamot sa isang VIP patient. Buti na lamang ay naghintay pa ang pinsan ng asawa niya ng ilang minuto at nakinig sa usapan ng mga ito kaya nalaman niyang si Ava ang tinutukoy ng dalawa.
The only question left for them is, anong sakit ng asawa niya? Why did they have to send medicines and perform injections and such to her? Inihinto niya ang sasakyan malapit sa cliff kung saan sila tumambay ni Zaddiel. It's already 10 in the morning at medyo mainit na sa balat ang sinag ng araw.
She stepped out of the vehicle and grab her phone saka inilock ang kotse. It says here in the map that the house is in the center of the forest. Nagpapasalamat siya at ang isinuot niya ngayon ay fitted jeans at white crew neck shirt na nakatucked in sa pantalon niya and for the footwear, she just grab a pair of boots.
Nagsimula na siyang maglakad papasok sa kakahuyan. She can hear cricket sounds and even frogs croaking. Tahimik ang paligid at napakasarap sa pakiramdam ang pagaspas ng hangin. The leaves of the trees around her, dance with the wind, the birds tweeting and flying. She was walking for almost fifteen minutes when she saw a modern cabin.
She stared at it in awe. It's so beautiful! Large parts of the cabin were glass and there's even a chimney! Paniguradong may fireplace ito sa loob. She peeked inside of the glass wall and saw the beautiful interior. There's a large bookshelf curved and in the center of it is a grand piano. Sumilip pa siya ng sumilip sa loob to see if someone is there pero wala siyang makita na bakas ng tao sa loob. It was clean at tahimik rin.
She's getting worried lalo na at para talagang walang tao sa loob. She tried to open the door but it was locked. Lumipat pa siya sa kabilang side ng bahay para sumilip ngunit wala parin siyang nakita na tao. Ilang minuto na siya rito. Napabuntong hininga siya.
Maybe I was too late..
She look around for the last time and was about to walk back to where she left her car when a voice asking who she is made her stop. Nakatalikod siya sa rito but she knew whose voice was that. Her eyes begin to tear up with different emotions but one thing is for sure, she's happy. Finally, she found her.
"Who are you? You're trespassing, Miss--"
Naputol ang sinasabi nito nang humarap na siya. Ang luha na kanina lang ay nagbabadyang tumulo ay kusa nang naglandas sa kanyang mga pisngi. Natigilan ito nang makita siya at gusto niyang matawa nang kumurap kurap pa ito at ni-rub ang mga mata na parang gusto malinawan ang paningin. She even pinch herself kaya kahit umiiyak siya ay sumungaw ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi.
"A-Ava.."
There, her wife stood meters apart from her. Holding a leather sling bag with fruits and vegetables inside. Nakasuot lamang ito ng sweatpants at naka-hoodie. May hawak na stick na mukhang tungkod.
"M-Madison.. Maddy, I--" Hindi na niya ito pinatapos pa sa sasabihim at mabilis siyang tumakbo palapit rito at mahigpit itong niyakap. God, she missed her!
She was hugging her tightly, never wanting to let go. Sobra niya itong namiss. Her warmth, scent, her soft skin.. everything.
"I love you, Ava.. Please come back to me."
