Amelia was almost knocked off sa lakas ng impact ng yakap nito. But she held Sam and caressed her back.

"What happened, Sam?"

"It's my father. H-He was in a hospital. Sinugod siya sa ospital." Sam looked at her eyes. "Amelia... anong gagawin ko?"

Umiwas ng tingin si Amelia dito. She can't look directly at Sam's eyes because despite what they did together. A part of her feels like she shouldn't barge in on Sam's personal life. She did it to seek revenge and get rid of Sam for good. Pero hindi din naman niya kayang iwanan itong nasasaktan ngayon.

"L-Let's go to the hospital."

Sam nodded her head. Nakayuko pa din ito kahit iginagaya niya na patungo sa reception ng hotel. She spotted the receptionist.

"Call Vincent. I need him to get me a van and a plane out of this island. May emergency. We need to get back to Manila as soon as possible."

"Hi. Madam!" Vincent stopped from walking to them further nang makita nito si Sam na nakasandal lang sa balikat niya at hindi kumikibo. "M-May nangyari ba Madam?"

"We need a van and a plane. ASAP. Vince."

"Oh gosh. Did she pass out because you two are humping---"

Pinandilatan niya ito ng mga mata niya. There were employees around pero di nito napigil ang bibig nito. The receptionist had her mouth opened the entire time.

"Shut up, Vince. Just call the plane. We need to go back. Sam's father is hospitalized."

Vincent put a hand to his mouth. "O-Ok. I'll call the plane and the van."

He turned his back on them and dialed a number. Mayamaya pa ay iginagaya niya na si Sam sa van. Sam had a far away look in her eyes habang nasa biyahe sila. Sam also calls from time to time tungkol sa update sa dad nito.

Hindi din ito natutulog habang nasa biyahe sila. Nagigising siyang nakatulala lang ito sa labas ng bintana.

Amelia looked at Sam's hands. The same hands that held her all night long. The same hands that worshipped her. Ngayon ay nanginginig iyon. She reached her hand out para hawakan ang kamay nito but stopped midway. She closes and opens her hands.

Should she be furthering their relationship? Hindi ba't katawan lang nito ang gusto niya? And the revenge she was planning? But she wasn't that cold hearted. Kahit pa yung ang gusto niyang isipin sa kanya ng ibang tao.

But Sam wasn't a stranger to her.

She touched Sam's hands and squeezed them.

Napatingin tuloy ito sa kanya. Sam's looked at her like she was searching Amelia's eyes. But she didn't take her eyes off of Sam. Gusto niyang iparating dito, na andito lang siya para dito.

"It will be ok, Sam. I'm here."

Sam didn't say a word. Dinala nito ang mga kamay niya sa bibig nito at hinalikan iyon. Then Sam leaned on it.

Amelia's heart started beating again; this time, it was louder and louder. Tila tambol sa tenga niya na hindi mawala wala. Or maybe it was the pressure inside the plane that was making her ears and her heart pound.

Pinagmasdan niya ang buong mukha ni Sam. Gusto niyang titigan ang mga mata at ang mga labi nito. She wants to commit it to her memory. What if it will be the last time she gets to see Sam's pretty face?

Lumamlam ang mga mata niya at sinandal din ang ulo sa ulo nito.

But when her phone pinged. Napabangon siya at tinitigan iyon.

'Amelia. I will work hard here for the last remaining 3 months. I'll go home and be a changed man for you. I love you.'

Then Christian sends her another picture. He was happily munching on a burger with a paper in his other hand.

'And maybe we could try for another child.'

Amelia's mouth hung open, and she immediately closed her phone's screen nang tumingin si Sam doon.

"You should take some sleep Sam. Baka ikaw ang mag collapse at hindi mo makita ang Dad mo."

She tapped Sam's head. Hindi ito kumibo at ipinikit na lang ang mga mata.

Amelia exhaled a breath she was holding and took several deep breaths. Her heart had been beating erratically because of Sam. At ngayon natatakot siyang malaman ni Sam na nag m-message pa rin sa kanya si Christian? Ang sarili niyang asawa?

She muddled the line now, is she?

Naipikit niya ang mga mata at napahilot sa sentido niya. Sumasakit ang ulo niya sa mga nangyayari.
