My Lost Husband (Cousinhood Series 4)

SPECIAL CHAPTER: LOST MEMORIES

🌷🌷🌷

LORENZO is looking at the wide ocean in front of him. Nakakaramdam siya ng lungkot sa tuwing nakikita niya ang dapat na iyon.

Why? Because it reminds him that he can no longer remember everything in his past. Hindi na niya maalala ang masasayang alala nila ng asawa. Kung paano sila nagkakilala at kung paano niya ito hinabol noon.

"Thinking of something again?"

Natigil siya sa pagtitig sa karagatan at napatingin sa babaeng umupo sa kanyang tabi. His wife smiles at him. Isang ngiti din ang ibinigay niya dito. Hinawakan niya ito sa braso para pa-upuin sa kanyang harapan. Niyakap niya ito mula sa likuran. Ipinatong niya ang ulo sa balikat nito.

"I'm thinking how will I remember our happy memories. Gusto kong maalala kung paano kita nakilala noon at niligawan. Gustong-gusto ko maalala ang araw ng kasal natin." May lungkot na wika niya.

Hindi nagsalita si Ashley. Alam niyang nahihirapan din ito sa tuwing nababanggit niya ang tungkol sa nawawala niyang ala-ala. Nakita niya ang video kung paano siya pinahirapan ni Terence. It was torture. At nang malaman niyang nakita iyon ng asawa ay sobrang nasasaktan siya. He doesn't want to hurt Ashley anymore.

Mahal na mahal niya ang asawa. Huli man niya  napagtanto sa sarili pero handa siyang bumawi ngayong kasal na ulit sila. His wife deserve to be happy.

"My Queen, I know it's not easy to be with me. Alam kung nasaktan kita sa muli natin pagkikita. Basically, I cheated at you. May asawa akong tao pero nakipagrelasyon ako kay Shy. I'm so sorry, My Queen. Alam kong hindi sapat ang paghi—"

"Yes, you cheated on me by having another girl but I learn to forgive and forget. Hindi ba at ganoon naman pagdating sa love. Matututo kang magpatawad. At saka, you can't remember that time. Wala din ako sa tabi mo. Ilang taon ka din namuhay kasama ang sumagip sa buhay mo. Wala din naghanap sa iyo dahil akala namin ay patay ka na."

Humarap sa kanya si Ashley at hinawakan ang kanyang pisngi.

"Kung anuman ang nangyari sa nakaraan natin, nakaraan na lang iyon. Let's fortget and forgive, My King. Wala din naman mangyayari kung patuloy tayong mamumuhay sa nakaraan."

"But still, I feel guilty for hurting you. We also lost our child because of my stupidity. I cause you so much pain. I wanted to hu—"

"Yes! We lost our child because of you but it's not only you. It's my fault also. Alam kong buntis ako pero nakipag-away pa rin ako kay Shy. I let my emotion takes me. Nasaktan ako ng marinig ko ang sinabi niyang may nangyari sa inyo at nagkabalikan kayo. Hindi ko inalala na may bata na nasa sinapupunan ko. You doesn't know I'm pregnant that time also. So, It's not only your fault. It's also mine. So, please! Don't blame yourself much. It hurts me."

Hindi siya nagsalita pa. Hinawakan lang niya ang pisngi ng asawa at pinakatitigan ang mga mata nito.

"I never love Shy, My Queen. Love and admiration are different. I learn it when I meet you again. I may be confused about what I felt from you before but I know by myself that my heart beat the moment I lean my eyes on you. Also, nothing happened between me and Shy. I don't know why I can't take her to my bed. Maybe because I know by myself that I have a special girl waiting for me even I can't remember."

Isang ngiti ang sumilay sa labi ni Ashley na agad niyang dinampian ng isang magaang halik. He knows that he is not perfect. He makes mistake in his life but he is grateful that he have this woman in his life. Ito ang nagbigay ng liwanag sa madilim niyang buhay at kinabukasan.

With Ashley, he knows everything will be alright. Nasa tamang tao na siya at hindi niya ito pakakawalan pa. At sana, mapatawad din niya ang sarili dahil kahit isang taon na ang lumipas ay sinisisi pa rin niya ang sarili sa pagkamatay ng anak nila.

Maybe, Ashley is right. We should forget and forgive but time only can tell. Maybe not today or tomorrow but soon. As long as his wife beside him, he can take everything.

He wants to move forward with the very special woman in his life. His wife.
