Shattered Wife (Completed)

Chapter 10

He missed her. So much that he wanted to sleep forever. But then, he has to face the reality, it sting. Really, damn, sting!

As he closed eyes, the image of young and innocent Yzabella popped out in mind. Nagmulat siya at nagbuga ng malalim na paghinga.

He was about to turned back when suddenly bumped a little cute girl. She was running so fast, mabuti na lang mabilis niyang nahawakan ito bago pa man sumubsob sa buhangin.

"Hey, be careful sweetheart. You may get bruises if you slam on the sand." He said softly as he touched her soft silky straight hair.

God! It felt strange.

When the little girl looked up. Kumunot ang noo niya. A strange feeling jumped off his heart. It was unexplainable.

The little girl, looks like a doll with a thick and long lashes. He froze looking at her. He felt nostalgic. Her face... and eyes really caught his attention. Heart beats so loud, as he looked around to see whether she was with someone. Deep inside him hoping to see the woman he was longing for, but that's impossible.

Nadismaya siya nang walang may makita.

"Where's your mom?" He smiled as asking her.

"I'm lost, my Nanny will get mad. And my m-mama, too."

Naalarma naman si Nathan dahil parang iiyak na ito. He was gently rubbing her back to enlighten her mood.

"Dont worry, I'll help you find your Nanny."

"Really?"

Natawa si Nathan sa reaksyon nito na nanlalaki ang mga mata.

Her beautiful eyes reminded of someone he couldn't forget.

"Yes, so don't cry, okay?"

He told her genuinely, caressing her hair.

Ang gaan ng pakiramdam niya after 7 years of living in darkness. Ngayon lang ulit siya nakaramdam ng ganoong pakiramdam.

Siguro kung buhay lang si Yza. Maaaring may anak na rin sila na kasing ganda ng batang nasa harapan.

He smiled at the thought. A bitter smile.

He couldn't bring back what he was loose before. Life isn't fantasy nor a fiction story that can be written where revision is free to applied.

"Kate!"

One little voice shouted and as he searched for it... ganon na lang ang panlalaki ng mga mata niya.

"Jesus! This can't be, why the hell on earth na parang carbon copy ko ang batang ito?"

Bahagya ring natigilan ang batang lalaki. Kapagkuwan ay ibinaling ang tingin sa batang babae.

"Nate!" Balik sigaw ng batang babae habang papalapit ang tinawag nitong Nate.

"Thank you, Mr. for taking care of my twin." The little boy said in polite manner. Taking the twins hands and runaway from him.

Napakurap si Nathan. Hindi nakahuma sa bilis ng pangyayari.

Nang tingnan ang tinakbuhan ng dalawang bata. Wala na ang mga ito. Nagpalinga-linga siya sa paligid ngunit hindi niya makita. Tumakbo siya nang tumakbo, nagbabakasakaling makita pa ang dalawa.

Sa huli, sumuko siya. Hinihingal na napaupo sa buhanginan. Pakiramdam niya'y nanunuyo ang lalamunan. Iyong uhaw na uhaw.

Hindi uhaw sa tubig kundi sa pag-asang makita muli ang dalawang bata.

Nais niyang masilayan muli ang mga ito.

Mariing hinilamos niya ang mga palad sa mukha. Naiinis siya sa sarili, kung naging mabilis lamang ang kilos, dihin sana'y may pag-asang naabutan niya ang kambal.
