KABANATA 23 : COULDN'T

NAGISING ULI ako na nakahiga sa hospital bed, agad na hinanap ng mata ko ang asawa pero wala ito.

"Mom?"Tawag ko kay mommy na nakaupo sa gilid ko at natutulog.

"Anak, how are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine, ang baby ko po? Si Dylan po? How about Grant how is he? He's okay right?" I said, hoping for an answer.

"Your baby is fine, Dylan is with Kendall at the cafeteria, while Grant the police investigator said walang katawan na naiwan sa yate, but may damit roon na sunog na and it was confirmed na sa asawa mo yun."malungkot na sabi ni mom.

"You're joking mommy, Grant is fine!"pamimilit ko.

Yumuko lamang ito sa harapan ko.

Akmang magtatanong uli ako ng may kumatok sa pinto, sumilip sa gilid ang nito ang ulo ni Nikki, she smiled sadly.

"Can i talk to her tita?"She asked mom.

Tumango lamang si mom at iniwan kami.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine, thank you for helping me by the way." I sincerely said.

"You're welcome, what are friends for?" Nakangiting sabi nito.

May inilapag siyang maliit na paperbag sa kama ko.

"What's this?"i asked.

"It's from your husband."She said.

"Grant? How is he? He's okay right?" Tanong ko ulit.

Gaya din ni mom ay yumuko at hindi mapigilang umiyak.

"I'm sorry, i shouldn't have told him that."Umiiyak na sabi niya.

"Hindi sana siya susunod sa yate kong hindi ko yun sinabi, I'm so sorry Avi, it's my fault."Sisi niya sa sarili.

"Anong bang pinagsasabi mo?" I asked.

"He's gone Avi, wala na ang asawa mo, we didn't find his body dahil siguro na sa kailaliman na iyon ng dagat ang katawan niya."sabi niya.

"Gone? Sinong namatay? Walang namatay Nikki, buhay ang asawa ko kasama ko pa siya nung isang araw, nag away pa nga kami." My tears started to rolled down my cheeks, and the memories of him in that yatch, how the yacht exploded in front of me where he was, all of it is still fresh in my mind.

"What did you say to him?"i asked.

"I told him that it was your aunt's fault why there was an accident in your parent's flight and she causes the death of his father too."Kwento niya.

Death of his father? When did his father died?

"Death of his father? Kailan?" I asked.

"It's the same day when your son got kidnapped."She said.

Those b*tches! Wala silang pinalampas! Mga hayop!

"How about my husband's body? Did they recovered it?" Tanong ko kahit na sinabi niya na kanina i need to prove my theory kung walang katawan may pag-asa pang buhay ang asawa ko.

"They didn't, as what i have told by the police officer na naatasan sa investigation."sabi niya.

--

Days, weeks, months and years have past but that memory is still fresh.

Those dark days I've been when he left me, he's gone without even putting up with me, I don't know nawalan na ako nang pag asang hanapin siya.

Maybe this is my karma for the bad things i did, for letting him go without even telling him how much i love him.
