Mariin niyang kinagat ang ibabang labi. “Baby−”“Og jeg vil fortælle ham, at jeg savner ham,” Beckett added. “Men hvorfor spørger du, mor?” [translation: And I'll tell him I miss him. But why are you asking, mommy?]Hinilig niya ang kanyang pisngi sa ulo ni Beckett at humugot ng malalim na hininga.
“I kept calling you but you’re out of coverage,” he said. “That’s why I called your ex-husband, asking where you are. He told me you’re here in the hospital. Are you alright now?”She nodded her head. “Yes. I’m fine now. W-where’s… where’s Selim?”Humugot ito ng malalim na hininga. “Umuwi muna sila.
“W-what are you talking about now?” wala sa sarili niyang sambit. “What do you mean to run away?”“Jeg overhørte din samtale med ham. Ville du lade det ske? Hvorfor ville du lade ham tage børnene fra dig? Bare løb, Emory. Jeg er villig til at hjælpe dig på alle måder,” he said. Bakas sa tinig nito a
“Beckett, Blue, gå ud og hils på din far,” she whispered. “Go on.” [translation: go and greet your daddy.]Nakatitig si Beau sa dalawang bata na para bang sobrang imposible ng nakikita nito ngayon. Hindi agad gumalaw si Beckett. It was Blue who took the very first step towards his father.Lumingon p
Tumayo ito sa kama at lumapit sa kanila. Hinawakan ni Emory ang balikat ni Beckett dahilan para mabaling dito ang tingin nilang tatlo.“Your father is working so hard to provide a good future for you. That’s why… that’s why it took him some time to come back,” sambit ni Emory at sumulyap sa kanya. “
Emory stared at Beckett who is now laying on the bed with sheets raised near his neck. Wala itong balak pansinin siya at alam niya ‘yon. Kilala niya si Beckett at alam niya kung anong klaseng bata ito kapag nagtatampo.Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga at naglakad palapit sa kama. She sat on the be
Mahina siyang napailing at pinahiga na ito sa kama. Saktong pagkahiga niya sa bata ay ang pagpasok ni Beau sa loob ng silid. Buhat-buhat nito si Blue sa kanyang braso na mukhang nakatulog din.“Itabi mo na rito kay Beckett,” malumanay niyang tugon.Agad namang tumalima si Beau sa kanyang sinabi. Nag
Matapos niyang sabihin ‘yon ay agad niyang tinulak si Violet palayo. Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagkagulat sa kanyang ginawa ngunit wala siyang pakialam. Ubos na ang kanyang pake.“Beau, what was that?!” tanong nito. “Don’t tell me you’re still mad because of what happened to your mistress?”“She’s not
“You wanted this,” he replied and looked at her. “You wanted this and there’s no need to be sorry. You chose him.”“He’s the father of my children.”“And you think he loves you?”“I love him,” she replied in a very low voice. “I… I don’t need him to love me. I love him, and that’s all matters.”Pans
Nang ilang hakbang na lang ang layo ay narinig nila itong nagsalita.“I was told you’re coming over.” Lumingon ito sa kanilang pwesto at tinaasan siya ng kilay. “You came here for what? To brag how happy you are right now?”Umiling siya at napalunok. “Brille…”“Have a seat,” saad nito at iminuwestra
“Are you sure about this?”Hindi na niya mabilang kung pang-ilang beses na siyang tinanong ni Beau tungkol sa bagay na ‘yon. She frowned at him and then smiled. Humilig siya sa balikat ng kanyang katipad at niyakap ito sa beywang.“You’re by my side. I’m always sure, Beau. Alam ko namang hindi mo ak
“What do you mean seeing me in person?”“Hindi mo ba alam? Your secretary contacted me to be your wedding planner. So I guess I have to see you soon?” Humagikhik ito. “Anyways, it’s morning here. Mag-iimpake pa ako para makapagkita na tayo.”Magsasalita pa sana siya nang margining niya ang malumanay
“Ako ang mauunang papasok,” he replied coldly. “I want to see him as well.”“Why now?” pangungulit nito. “Are you trying to win your parents back?”Napaismid siya sa tanong nito at mahinang napailing. “I don’t even give a fuck about them. Pinagbibigyan ko lang ang fiancée ko. I want her to be happy.
The flight bounce back to the Philippines was quiet. Kasama nila si Selim na umuwi. According to him, he just wanted to be back in the Philippines and spend more time with the kids. Hindi rin naman problema ‘yon sa kanya. Mas mainam na rin ‘yon dahil gusto niyang makabawi sa binata dahil sa mga sakr
“Let’s just say… he’s in good place.”“In paradise?” Suminghap si Melissa. “He’s dead?”Mahina siyang natawa sa sinabi nito. “No. I mean, he’s in a place well taken care of.”Ang pagkakakunot ng noo nito ay unti-unting nawala hanggang sa unti-unti nitong na-gets kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin. “Oh
"Iinom lang ako ng tubig," sagot nito at tipid na ngumiti. "Congratulations once again. Kailan ang nalalapit na kasal?" She chuckled."Hindi ko alam kung kailan. Kaka-engage pa lang namin, e. How have you been, by the way? Are you up for a little chitchat?""Of course!" sambit nito at ngumiti sa kan
"What exactly happened?" malumanay niyang tanong sa kanyang kaibigan na ngayon ay kaharap niyang nakaupo sa silya rito sa hardin ng bahay ni Beau na binili para sa kanya. "You made me worry, Selim. I was so damn worried about you. Halos araw-araw kong iniisip kung bakit mo ginawa ang bagay sa 'yon p
