Elite Sorority Series 1: Sassy Prosecutor

Chapter 41

     NAINIS si Kier nang sabihin ni Bridgette sa kanyang kalimutan ang naging relasyon nila at tanggapin ang desisyon nito. Kaya mas pinili niyang wag na lang itong puntahan araw-araw dahil nagbabakasali siyang ma-miss din siya ng babae, ngunit hindi parin nagbago ang trato nito sa kanya.

Kaya kahit tulungan pa siya ng mga kaibigan nito ay mukhang hindi naman umuubra. Kahit pa alam niyang nagseselos na ito kay Allanna. Ayaw namang niyang gamitin ito para lang bumalik si Bridgette sa kanya, gusto niya kusa maging maayos ang pagsasama nila dahil sa ginawa niya pagsisikap.

Nagmamahelo siya pauwi ng bahay ala-uno ng madaling araw na siya nakaalis dahil ng Overtime pa siya sa trabaho marami siyang hinahabol na kaso dahil matagal din siya nagleave. Huminto muna ni Kier ang sasakyan nang tumunog ang cellphone niya at dali-daling kinuha iyon sa bulsa niya. Nagulat siyang dahil si Bridgette ang tumatawag, kaya bigla siyang kinabahan.

"Where are you, Kier?" Naramdaman niya ang takot sa boses nito. Kaya nang sabihin nito kung bakit ito tumawag sa kanya ay agad niyang pinaharurot ang sasakyan. Halos bente minuto ang tinakbo ng beyahe niya papunta sa bahay nito.

     Naabutan niya itong binubuhat ang anak nila, umiiyak ito at hindi mapakali sa kinatatayuan.

"Bridgette, what happened?" tumingin ito agad sa kanya.

"We need to go to the hospital right now," Namamalat na sambit nito. Itong ang pangalawang pagkakataon na nakitaan niya si Bridgette ng kahinaan kaya lumapit siya para yakapin ito.

"Everything will be alright, let me carry him. You get his stuff."

Pagbuhat niya sa anak nila agad naman nitong inayos ang mga dadalhin nila sa Ospital. Pagkatapos nagmamadali silang sumakay ng sasakyan. Tahimik lang siyang pinagmamasdan ito habang pabuloy pa rin sa pagpapatahan sa anak nila.

     Nang kakarating sila sa Ospital agad nilang dinala sa emergency room ang anak at mabilis itong inasikaso ng mga Nurse. Nanatili silang dalawa sa labas dahil hindi maaring pumasok sa loob ng kwarto. Brigette look so terrified and stress. Nilapitan niya ito at agad siya nitong niyakap. Nagpatuloy itong umiiyak sa dibdib niya, hindi maganda ang sitwasyon nila ngayon dahil nasa panganib ang anak nila ngunit naramdaman niya ang pangangailangan nito sa kanya.

"I'm sorry Kier, kung hindi dahil sa'kin hindi sana mapapahamak ang anak natin. I'm so irresponsible... mother," naiiyak na sambit nito.

"No, you're a great mom, Bridgette. I shouldn't leave the two of you alone, I should be the one who there to help you."

Tumingin ito sa kanya na may luha sa mga mata at hinawi niya iyon. "This is the first time that you cried in front of me. You were so taught your entire life, can I be your shoulder to cry on?"

"Why you love to see me crying? Are you really a sadist?" Parang batang reklamo nito sabay palo sa braso niya.

"I hate to see you get hurt, but I love it when you're crying in front of me. Because I actually feel that you really need me into your life. You're sassy and self-reliant it's just too overwhelming to have you and opening yourself to me."

"It's hard to have strong personality because they think I can handle things on my own." Napangiti siya sa pag-amin nito.

Napabitiw si Bridgette sa kanya nang makita nila ang doctor na palapit sa kanila.

"Your son is stable now, he experience dehydration, but he is out of danger. It's good that you bring him to the hospital early, but we need to monitor him. And he needs to stay in the hospital for three to four days. To make sure that we fully treat him since he is an infant,"

"Okay doc, we understand thank you."

Inilipat na nila sa private room ang anak niya at kasama niyang nakaupo si Bridgette sa sofa habang binabantayan nila ito.

"Hey, our son is okay now, let's sleep." bulong niya rito.

"Kier, I'm so scared earlier that I might not able to save him, and what if worse happen–"

"Shh... don't overthink things, It's also my fault if I stay there, then you don't need to carry all the burden in your hands." Nakasandal ang ulo nito sa dib-dib niya habang yakang ito.

"I know you only doing this because you want to be a responsible father, and I'm letting you to be his father."

Nilayo niya ito at tinignan niya sa mga mata.

"I'm not doing this because I want to be a responsible father to our son, but also I wanted to be the man you can rely on. A man who always there for you when you're not okay. I know it's to much ask to be with you, because I hurt you before. But I really need you Bridgette, I can't promise to be a perfect man, cause I can still commit mistake. The only thing that I'm sure of now is, I'm always looking for you even I lose you... because you're my Star that guiding me to be with you. And I'm always coming back next to you."

Nakakunot itong tumingin sa kanya.
"How will I believe you, if you never said that you love me?"

"Really? So you're more on verbal than action? Well, if that's words make you believe in me. Then, I will tell you. I love you since the night I saw you, I'm actually intimidated by your beauty but I've become more obsessed when you punch me and I know from that morning I love you at first punch."

"Star, you're to cringe, did you know that?" Natawang sagot nito.

"It's your fault, so blame yourself."

"Hey, I haven't forgiven you yet, tell me?  bakit mo kasabay si Allanna papunta sa bahay noong nakaraang araw?"

Niyakap niya ito ng mahigpit at mahinang pinitik ang ilong nito.  "Allanna helping me to win you back and it's actually working? You become jealous to her?"

"Oo nagselos, pero kilala ko siya. Hindi siya magkakagusto sa iyo."

"Well... hindi rin ako magkakagusto sa kanya because she only remind me of my sister Kelly."

Nakita niya and pagbabago ng expresyon nito nang mabangit niya ang pangalan ng kapatid niya. "You know I realise my sister helps me find you, she knows I need someone like you. And even she become unhappy she wanted me to be happy."

"Then, I'm going to make her more happy, by loving you."

"I guess I will be more happy if you will going to marry me? Will you marry me, Bridgette? I know you love your surname, but can we change it with Osma?"

Kahit ang corny ng pinagsasabi niya ay ipagpatuloy niya pa rin dahil nakikita niyang sa ganitong paraan sasaya si Bridgette. "Dito ka talaga magpro-propose?"

"Bakit saan ba gusto mo? Dito na lang para witness natin ang anak natin sa pag-propose ko sa'yo."

Nakita niyang napa-isip ito, "Okay na rin dito at kaunti lang yun tao."

"Pero sa kasal natin madami na? Oo nga pala bibisita ang parents ko dito next month tapos planuhin natin yung kasal para nandito sila."

"Next month agad yun kasal natin?" Nanlaki ang mata nito.

"Let's stop wasting our time... baka magbago pa isip mo at ilayo mo pa si Brial sa'kin eh," pagbibiro niya. Hinimas niya pa ang buhok nito.

"How can I do that if I'm stuck on you? I love you... you know Kier Duke Osma?"

"I love you too, more than anything I can achieve in this lifetime, because you're my life, Mrs. Bridgette Naomi Osma."

"Star that so chessy?"

"Yes, my sassy Prosecutor, I want to be your lifetime prisoner and my everlasting Star."

Hinalikan niya ito sa labi at kinulong sa kanya bisig. Kier kissed Bridgette's nose up to her forehead, he never thought that revenge will lead him to love and happiness.
