POSSESSIVE 3: Train Wolkzbin

EPILOGUE

Epilogue

NAKANGITI si Krisz habang tintanggap ang parangal na Best Hospital Services in Asia Award. She couldn't express how much happy she was. Romero's Chain of Hospitals exceeded her plans and expectations. Ang gusto lang naman niya noon ay maisalba ang nalulugi nilang kompaya, now, Romero Hospitals are one of the most trusted hospitals in Asia. At ang award na ito ang patunay sa mga pagsisikap niya at ng mga empleyado niya.

"Congratulation, Mrs. Wolkzbin," sabi ni Mr. Ricaford, ito ang kinatawan ng Asia's Hospitals Association, kung saan nanggaling ang award na hawak niya ngayon.

She smiled and shook hands with Mr. Ricaford. "Thank you."

Naglakad siya patungo sa microphone para magbigay ng maikling pasasalamat.

"Good evening, everyone," panimula niya. "First, I want to thank God for always being there for us. To my employees, doctors and to all the people who give life to Romero's Chains Of Hospitals, thank you for your efficient services and hard work. Without all of you, the Romero's Chain Of Hospitals will not stand as one of the best Hospitals in Asia now. Please, accept my heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you."

Dumako ang tingin niya kay Trina Lopez. Maasim ang mukha nito habang nakatingin sa kanya. Katabi nito ang sekretarya niyang trinaydor siya. At the age of thirty-five, wala pa ring asawa si Trina. At nagpapasalamat siya sa panginoon na hindi na nito ginulo pang muli ang pagsasama nila ni Train.

"To Ms. Trina Lopez." Matapang niyang sinalubong ang tingin nito. "Thank you. You're one of the people behind the success of Romero's Chain of Hospital. You taught me how to find good doctors and effective, efficient and loyal employees." Kung puwede lang niya itong irapan, ginawa na niya pero dahil nasa harap siya ng camera at nakikita siya sa buong Asya pero pinigilan niya ang sarili.

And then her eyes hopped to her son. Her six years old son, Trek. His son smiled at her when their eyes met. "To my son, thank you for always giving mommy the courage and inspiration to work really hard."

"You're welcome," Trek mouthed, making her smile.

And then her hazel eyes seek for the love of her life. Her heartbeat quickeedn when she met those pale,charcoal eyes that never seized to make her heart beat fast.

"To my husband, Train Wolkzbin, I think thank you is not enough for all the things you did for me. So, instead of saying thank you, I'm just gonna say, I love you. So much."

Train smiled at her. The kind of smile that always took her breath away. "I love you, too," he said while staring at her lovingly.

Krisz smiled and looked around. "And to all of you who are here tonight, thank you. Have a good night."

She bowed a little before leaving the platform. Naglakad siya palapit sa mesa kung nasaan ang asawa at anak niya pati na rin sina Tyron at Raine na naging kaibigan niya, kasama ang anak nitong si Timber. At ang mag-asawang Iuhence at Mhel na naging ka-close na rin niya, kasama ang kambal nitong anak na si Kisses at Hersheys.

Nang umupo siya sa tabi ni Train, kaagad na pinagsiklop nito ang mga kamay nila at ginawaran ng halik ang mga labi niya.

"You are beautiful, tonight, my love," bulong nito sa tainga niya.

Napangiti siya. "Yeah?"

"Hmm-mm." Train kissed her cheek. "But I don't like it when you shook hand with Mr. Ricaford. Nag-init ang ulo ko ng makita ko 'yon."

Itinirik niya ang mga mata. "Being possessive again, I see."

Train possessively snaked his arms around her waist. "Hindi mo nakita ang nakita ko. That man has hots for you. I saw it." Hinapit siya nito palapit dito. "Ty moya, Krisz. Akin ka—"
