Chapter 16
It was nearly morning when I feel that I'm cold. I stand up to close the aircon but I feel dizzy while doing so. Ni hindi ko nga nakayanang makatayo ng matagal because I'm always ending up laying down my bed. My head is spinning and I don't know why I want to vomit. My head aches and I'm shivering. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang pumasok sa kumot ko habang nginig na nginig. I can't take it. I don't know why did I ended up sick even I bathe after that rain.
Sa ganoong sitwasyon ako naabutan ni manang. Nanginginig habang pilit na isinisiksik ang sarili sa kumot ko na alam ko namang kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi maiibsan ang lamig na nararamdaman ko.
"Ayos ka lang ba?" Manang asked but I can't answer her. She touches my head and run out of my room calling my husband's name.
"Dale! Dale. Dale ang taas ng lagnat ng asawa mo. Dale" pag tawag niya kay Dale. And after that

I wake up in my bed while my head is aching. I'm still cold but I can bear it now. I saw my husband was holding my hand habang naka office attire pa. I tried to wake him up but I ended up looking at him while sleeping. I look at my hand and found that I have an IV. I look around for any possible person near us but I couldn't see one.The door cracked and I saw manang walking inside having a tray on her hand. She look at me before smiling."Gising ka na. Buti naman. Isang araw kang tulog eh" aniya sa akin bago nilapag ang tray ng pagkain sa side table.

"Masaya ka bang naagaw mo na siya?" It was my mom who was with me in the house. Literal na binisita niya ako para lamang dito."Mom""Don't you dare call me mom.

I wake up in the morning feeling so tired. I tried to stand up but it hurts between my thighs. Halos umabot ako ng ilang oras para mag adjust dahil hindi ako halos makalakad. Sikat na sikat na ang araw pero nakahiga pa rin ako. Wala na si Dale sa tabi ko and malinis na rin ang paligid. I walk slowly and tried to look around but I didn't find anyone with me here. Tila Wala atang naiwan sa loob ng bahay. Ako na mismo ang pumasok sa kusina para pag silbihan ang sarili ko. I'm hungry.It was past 1 when I am finally done and I finally normalize my walk. Nakita ko na rin si manang na nag lalaba at ang iba pa niyang katulong na nag lilinis sa labas. Everything was so calm. Someone hug me from my back and rested his chin at my shoulder before kissing my ear."How's your sleep?" He asked me while swaying."It's fine. It's hurt. I was sore down there. I thought I can't stand up but I manage. You ramp my flower" I told him in whisper too. He chuckled bef

"You're a whore. How dare you. You are not my daughter"Sobrang sikip ng dibdib ko habang pilit na kinakalma ang sarili. I hate to look at myself who was so down now. I hate to think that I am no one again. I am that trash again. Why did they always ignore my side? I have my point of view too but why are they so blind to see what is mine. Doesn't it matter to them?"Love" I called him and try to reach him pero tinalikuran niya lamang ako at lumabas ng kwartong iyon. Mas lalo lamang akong umiyak habang patuloy na tinatanaw siya palabas ng kwarto ko.Ang sakit. Sobrang sakit."Love" I called him again. My voice cracked while I was pleading for him to look at me, " I thought you'll side me no matter what happened love? What happened to that promise? Are you breaking it?" I asked him. But he didn't responded. He didn't even look at me. But one thing makes him stop is that her mother's word at me.

I wake up in a room filled of fresh lillie's. A woman was holding me while a man was walking back and forth inside the room. I look around and saw no one except for this two. The room was different and so far from what I use to see when I am in an hospital. And everything I saw was nothing but a plain white. May benda ang kamay ko at may swero na nakakabit sa akin."Where I am?" Iyon agad ang tanong ko sa kanila ng makakuha ako ng lakas ng loob para mag salita."You're in a hospital honey. Oh gosh. I thought we hit you thanks God we didn't" the woman exaggerated what she was saying while holding my hand."You should!" I answered with no emotion while looking at the window. Masyadong mataas ang sikat ng araw habang maaliwalas ang langit. Walang pag babadya ang ulan at Wala rin ano bang malakas na hangin.The woman touch my hands before rubbing it gently. I look at her before looking back at the window."We can't.

"So when are you going back? The company needs you. I miss you" Mom asked me over the phone the next morning. Huminga muna ako ng malalim habang nakatingin sa mga bata na nag hahabulan sa sala."Did the company needs me that much mom?""No. The company was fine but I am requesting you to come back here because I miss the two and you too" aniya sa akin. I look at my nails before looking back at my babies."Okay okay. We will going back Mom" pag suko ko dito habang nakanguso pa. My mom chuckled before starting to plan my flight or what day should we go back. She even suggested that she'll going here para lamang sunduin kami. She was very happy. And I won't take that happiness always from her."So ako ang susundo sayo sa Saturday okay. Aba namiss kita. Sobra. I want to see the twin too running towards their Grandma" aniya sa akin bago ibinaba ang tawag. The two was still running and laughing. Iniwan ko silang ganun bago ako nag

Dale's POV"I told you mom I saw her. We saw her. She was looking so elegant while walking. Imagine that" Rose become berserk while saying those."But how did you saw her? How? I mean why of all the places" her mom asked while looking at me. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya. Kahit ako ay nag tatanong sa sarili ko. Why of all places doon pa. It was just a minute but it makes me asked too many why's."You saw her too did you Dale?" tanong ni mama sa akin. Hindi ko sila pinansin. They are waiting for my answer but I don't have time to answer their question. I don't have all the time for that. All I can say is that I hate what I am feeling. I hate myself now."Dale I'm talking to you! Did you see her?!" My mom shouted again but I still ignore her. Nilagpasan ko sila para mag tungo sa labas. I need to breath. And I need to prepare myself for tomorrow.I need to be

"So yun na yun?" Ace asked me habang tumatawa. He was looking at Dale's mother who too pissed. Her fist was holding the glass of wine tightly before sipping a little. I smirk at him before I snatch a glass of wine in the table."You've been improving" my mom whisper at me before chuckling. I pout at her before winking."My teacher was expert. Of course I'll learn a lot" I complement her.Hindi nag tagal ay kusa ng tumayo ang nanay ni Dale habang inis na nag lalakad patungo sa pwesto namin. She drunk the wine straight before proceeding. Pilit siyang pinipigilan nila Dale but she push him away."Mom stop that. Huwag dito" I hear Dale whisper while holding her mother."What! She insulted me" she shouted.
