Page Seventy.——————————Kunot noo akong nagmulat ng mata nang maramdaman kong parang may nakatitig sakin. And there I saw Storm looking at me. Ngumiti siya at agad na hinalikan ako sa aking noo."Good Morning, Love. I'm Storm Thompson, your husband."I chuckled. Simula nang malaman niya ang tungkol sa sakit ko, kada umaga ay ganito ang bungad niya sakin. Pinapakilala ang kaniyang sarili. I know it seems like a joke and silly to hear but for me it stings. Nasasaktan ako. It seems like he wants to prepare himself for that day that I will never recognize him even if we tried hard. Every morning I would woke up trying to remember everything that I could still remember. Luckily, wala pa naman akong nakakalimutan."Good Morning too, Love. I'm Sunny Daine Alcazar Thompson, uour wife."Ngumisi siya and kissed me again in my forehead."Breakfast is ready. Want me to take it here?"Umiling ako sa kaniya. Tinulungan niya akong makabangon at makatayo sa kama."Did you have breakfast na ba?"Umil

Page Seventy-two.——————————Kanina pa ako napapabuntong hininga. I'm bored. Sobrang bored. I got nothing to do. Kanina ko pa tinatawagan si Sabel thru video call para lang may makausap at makita na rin si Stormi na mukhang nagbubuhay prinsesa kasama ang mga magulang ni Storm. She's so happy tho namimiss niya kami she understand that we can't focus to her right now. She's so excited to meet her brother or sister soon and be with us. I felt guilty but there is nothing I can do. Nag-ring ang phone ko at nakitang tumatawag si Storm. Napabuntong hininga ako at sinagot na ang tawag niya. Pang anim na niyang tawag to simula kanina pero hindi ko sinasagot dahil alam kong nasa importanteng meeting siya ngayon. Ayaw niyang umalis at iwan ako pero hindi rin pwedeng basta niya na lang hindi siputin ang meeting na ito lalo na't isang malaking client iyon. Gusto niya akong isama pero ayaw ko naman sumama sa kaniya. Tinatamad ako and honestly, I feel weak. Nakikita ko ang unti-unting pagpayat ko at

Page Seventy-four.——————————"Ma diyan lang naman kami sa Mall.""I know. Pero sasama pa rin ako.""Me too, Sunny. Wala naman akong ginagawa. James is busy."Nilingon ko si Storm at kumakamot lang siya sa kaniyang batok. Mukhang wala na rin yata siyang magagawa sa kakulitan ng dalawa. I am now eight months pregnant at ito lang ang araw na nagising ako na maayos ang pakiramdam ko. Malakas ako at pakiramdam ko kakayanin ko ang maglibot sa mall para bumili ng mga kakailanganin sa panganganak. I asked Storm not to buy things for our baby without me. So we both waited for me to be okay. At ito na ang araw na iyon. Pero hindi kami makaalis alis dahil kay Mama at Katty. Gustong gusto nilang sumama."Storm.. aren't you gonna say something?"Irita kong tanong sa kaniya. Lumabi lang siya at ngumiti."The more the merrier, Love. Come on, sama na natin sila.""Oo nga naman, Anak. Gusto ko rin sumama sa pagbili ng mga gamit ni baby."I rolled my eyes and I sighed. May magagawa pa ba ako? Tumango

Epilogue.——————————His Point of View.She's running for SSC Internal Vice President. That sounds good. I knew she's always in an Organization. I've seen her many times. Of course, I'm one of her admirers. Pero mukhang hindi niya alam na ganoon karami ang nagkakagusto sa kaniya. The moment I saw her outside of the SSC Office, I was determined to take my luck. As a friend. She just wanted me to be her friend. I was taken aback. She keeps mentioning about the woman I love for a long time. Natatawa na naman ako kapag naaalala ko. She seems not to care to anyone around her. She's nit easy to dealt with but her heart is pure and she's very understanding. It's one of the few things I noticed about her eversince we became friends. We both love jollibee and as well as reading. She accepted my confession and asked me to take everything slow. Well, I can't blame her. Para lang naman kasi akong kabote na bigla na lang tumubo sa buhay niya and in just a short period of time ay nag-confess na ako
