LOGINTime flies so fast who would have thought that It's been a week since he went to Canada for his business venture. I really feel empty without him. Every night without him is like isolating myself in a cold ice town and only Tamra can bring warmth on me.
Speaking of my son I should leave now it's almost time to pick him. I felt something is vibrating inside my pocket. I assumed that it was my husband but the caller's I.D is unknown, somehow I feel disappointed but I'm not that rude to decline the call.
I made a right choice it was Ryan on the other line saying that my son lost his consciousness. My heartbeat is overpowering my hearing senses and I barely feel my feet touching the ground while I'm running.
On my way to the clinic I bump into Ryan he lead the way to Tamra whereabouts. Seeing him lying in the bed with dextrose injected in his hands makes me a useless mother. I touched his forehead it's not hot, if he doesn't have fever what causes this trouble then?
"He's suffering from a mild fatigue due to the luck of proper sleep." Fatigue? How did he end up having fatigue? I'm certain that I always send him to bed in right time.
"Mom, I'm sorry for causing trouble from this day I swear I will not stay late playing with my psp at night." now I know the reason, even though I'd watch him over he still manage to sneak out to play games on his psp.
I'm glad his dad is not around for sure I will get a lecture from him. I better not tell it to my husband. I don't want to bother him and making him worried is not part of my concern.
"Bye, teacher" Tamra says, Ryan pat my son's head later on he looked at me. Maybe he's waiting for me to thank him.
I gave him my sincere gratitude before turning my back as we started takin' small steps forward. Meanwhile, we are walking in the hallway I have notice that there's something wrong with my vision its getting blurry.
Aside from the blurry vision I also feel a little bit dizzy. I stop for a moment my little Tamra noticed it. I tried to stop him from calling his adviser but voice won't slip from my tongue.
Everything went black, the only thing I can remember someone is carrying me in bridal style. When I woke up I find myself lying in hospital bed.
What exactly happened to me?
"Feeling better?" It was Ryan who's asking me while Tamra is sleeping in the couch nearby window.
"Thanks and sorry for causing you so much trouble this day."
First he saved Tamra and now he saved me.
"Compare to our past I guess I'm the one who should be sorry," says Ryan.
Here we go again, I don't get it why does he keep on bringing up the past?
"I guess this is the perfect time to give you this." He handed me a box of velvet box.
I'm kinda' surprised when I open it there's a gold proposal ring inside.
"I'm a married woman and you know how much I love my husband."
Is he trying to mess up my married life?
"I know."
"So why are you giving this to me now?"
"I wanted to give you that ring 10 years ago... I know you're the woman I wanted to be with the rest of my life. However, I keep on messing up our relationship. I took you for granted that's why I'm screwed when you finally decided to break up with me. It took me almost a year to prepare myself before deciding on courting you again but I found out that you already have someone with you."
so in the end he really loved me...but I cannot find a single regret on what happened 10 years ago. Instead, I'm very thankful it must be faith. All I know is we are not really destined to each other.
"I cannot accept it," I extended my arm to give him back the box but he refuse to take it.
"I'm getting married my fiancée wants me to give it to you and she wanted to say sorry too."
Huh?! Now it's quite confusing why would his girl say sorry to me?
"Sounds confusing right?" he asked, I just nod my head.
"I'm marrying Claire ann." Now I know why she's sorry, because she's the reason why we broke up. I cannot accept the fact that he's going to be a father to her child.
"You already had baby why didn't you marry her earlier?" Don't tell me he still flirting with other girls.
"A week after we broke up I found out that she's not pregnant. She lied to ruin our relationship and because of that it makes you my the one that got away."
"You love her?"
He nod and his eyes are shining that is when I'm sure his really in love with her. I'm glad this jerk is settling for good, I wish them all the best.
"I really can't accept it."
"It's yours take it as a gift"
Gift? It's not my birthday. He handed me the a brown envelope. Confused yet I grab it.
When I open the envelope I almost cried my heart out, my hands are shaking while holding the result.
"By the way should I call your husband to pick you? What's his number?"
"Don't bother he's in Canada for business venture."
"I'll take you to your house," I keep on refusing and he kept on insisting in the end I realized he's doing me a favor and you cannot consider it as a form of adultery.
I gave him my home address, the moment I open the door in the back of passenger seat.
My eyes widen and stock in one direction.
His car is parked next to ryan's car, he slip out of his car, standing and staring in my direction.
"J-jhotam" I didn't expect to see him at this very moment, he still have 1week in Canada did he book an early flight? why? Could it be....he wanted to surprise me!
"I'll leave now," Says Ryan.
"Thank you again."
"Daddy!" Tamra says, he hugged his father's leg. He is patting his son's head but those cold mad eyes won't leave me.
"Tamra get inside first I'll open the gate for daddy." He showered me a questions right after we enter the masters bedroom.
I don't know why but I'm irritated whenever I'm looking at his handsome face. I don't know what I'm doing but I couldn't stop my face from squeezing his cheeks
"I only left for about 3 weeks then I found out you were with another man?" He is mad, he unbutton his tuxedo and throw it on the floor. I watch him standing while pressing his nose bridge.
I was startled when he suddenly look at me he's no longer holding his nose bridge instead his hands are now in his waist. I found it really cute I walk closer to him, I tip toe and kiss him in his lips.
"You think you can bribe me with what you are doing right now? Answer my question, who is that man a while ago?"
"He is my adviser daddy he is teacher Ryan Hallari."
"I told you to stay in your room little chua." Says Jhotam.
Tamra run back to his room. He made it sure that Tamra is really not around. He locked the door before bragging about that 'man'
"Your first love?" he looked at me with his mocking face, Don't tell me he's jealous.
"So tell me why did this first love —I mean your son's ADVISER bother to drive you home?" he's mad I can sense it. I burst into laughter instead of answering his questions.
"What's funny? Huh?"
He's facial expression is priceless.
"Don't tell me you're jealous? Come on I'm already 33 married and I even had a child."
"Why wouldn't I get jealous? You are 33, married and had a child but it doesn't mean you are no longer attractive woman."
"Oh really? What about the blondies in Canada." He suddenly brushed his hair using his finger. He walked out of the room the last thing I've heard is the slamming of the door.
Is he really upset? Did I make him mad but I'm just teasing him. I'm about to drag the big news I guess it's safe to say it later.
I know how to cool down his head. We are having our dinner finally with Jhotam this time. The only thing can be heard is the tossing of spoon and fork as it touches the plate but thanks to the little ice breaker the silence was broken.
"Mom fainted in school and teacher Ryan took us to hospital."
Now my husband is looking at me with 'explain-everything-look'.
"Are you not taking care of yourself while I'm gone?" he drop the utensil, he is now staring at me.
"I am taking care of myself but fainting is inevitable when you're pregnant." I'm planning to tell it to him later but the timing is ruined there's no reason to hold it back. There was a presence of silence when everyone dropped their weapons.
"You're not kidding right?" I just shrugged as I gave him a playful smile.
"I knew it! Listen to me buddy don't stress out your mom be a good boy cause' you're going to be a brother soon."
See he's not mad anymore.
"Yey! I'm going to be a brother...can't wait to tell it to Hyunra."
"Food first before anything else." He was supposed to leave the dining, obviously, to call Hyunra right away.
"Hear that buddy let's finish this and later help me clean up the mess, mommy need to relax."
Now they're giving me a sedentary life.
"In case you didn't notice I'm not disable I can still do the house hold."
"but mom you need to relax for baby's sake." Seeing their reaction makes my belly laugh. God is good for sending me this two adorable people and by giving me a new adorable present inside my womb.
For the past weeks I feel so lonely but today my night is perfect. I hope our love for each other grow deeper as much how my tummy grows bigger.
He took his car out from vulcanizing shop, We escorted my parents to NAIA terminal I'm going to miss them for sure. Their next visit will be on the day of my delivery, we bid our goodbyes as the pager started to call all passengers. Our next stop is to meet with my ob-gyn for check-up."Dad? Mom and I are going to stay at your office, right?"
It's been two months and my baby bump is not yet recognizable. I can still wear my blouse. In fact I don't need to buy new clothes. I still have the old ones, the one that I wore while I'm pregnant with Tamra.I still have an ample time before Tamra's end of class, I search for those dress that I mentioned a while ago. I was busy fitting the dress when my timer buzz. I have to go now.
Time flies so fast who would have thought that It's been a week since he went to Canada for his business venture. I really feel empty without him. Every night without him is like isolating myself in a cold ice town and only Tamra can bring warmth on me.Speaking of my son I should leave now it's almost time to pick him. I felt something is vibrating inside my pocket. I assumed that it was my husband but the caller's I.D is unknown, somehow I feel disappointed but I'm not that rude to decline the call.
Next thing in the morning I feel like someone's playing with my hair's strand, though I'm already awake yet I acted as if I'm still sleeping. I didn't expect him to plant morning kiss on my temple. I realized it's too late now that he notice how wide my smile is."Dreaming or awake? Which one?" he asked.
We are enjoying our time together, We are relaxing in a couch inside the master's bedroom. The couch is quite small but we managed to make it comfortable for the both of us.We are lying next to each other, there's no gap between us. I can feel his heart beat beneath my ears, while he's caressing my hair. I feel so secure with his arms wrapping around my waist and my head is pinning on his hard chest.
Jhotam woke me up by planting small kisses on my cheeks."Hmmm...""Let's take a bath." Says Jhotam.
