The Playgirl | Cassandra Ylliana (Revising)

Epilogue: Bonus Chapter

Isang buntong hininga ang binitawan ko habang nasa balkonahe ng kwarto namin ng asawa ko.

It's been what? Almost a year since my wife happened to be in a coma. Damon cried that day when I told him what happened to his nanay. But eventually, he felt happy because of his little sister that gave us light when our sunshine was asleep.

Flame Montenegro is turning to nine months now. She's bubbly and I can say that she's naughty like her mother. Nakuha niya ang mukha ng asawa ko, even the hair. There's no comparison to that.

"Tay,"

Lumingon naman ako sa likod ko ng marinig ko ang boses ni Damon. Kalong kalong niya si baby Flamie habang nakabusangot ang mukha. Mabilis ko naman silang nilapitan at lumuhod para magpantay kaming dalawa.

"Hey, buddy. What's wrong?"

He sighed before handing out Flame to me. "I have to go, tay. May rush pala kaming project ngayon na nawala sa isip ko. As much as I want to take care of my baby sister, kailangan ko munang tapusin ang mga gawain ko sa eskwelahan."

Tumango naman ako dito. "I'll just call mang Seno para ihatid ka sa distinasyon mo."

Umiling ito at ngumiti. "Thanks, but no thanks, tay. Ako na lang po ang magsasabi kay mang seno."

"Did you bring the pen that I gave you?"

He picked something in his pocket and showed it to me. "Always, tay."

I gave Damon a customized pen gun with a 0.3 needle in it that can kill you in just a minute.

I thought him how to use it and how to use other guns. Kahit alam kong ayaw ng asawa ko na manahin ni Damon ang itinayo kong organisasyon, nakikitaan ko talaga ng interest ang anak ko sa bagay na ito. He was the one who asked me to teach him how to use a gun. So I thought him.

"I'll go ahead na po. Take care for me, tay."

Hinalikan ko muna siya sa noo bago ito hinayaang makapunta sa nanay niya na nakalatag lang sa kama namin na walang malay habang may nakakabit na iba't ibang tube sa katawan nito. Isa na doon ang life support niya.

"Bye,'nay. Mahal po kita. Sana po gumising ka na..."

Buhat ko na si Flamie habang nakatingin sa asawa ko na nakaratay pa rin hanggang ngayon sa kama. Damon just went off a minute ago and Flamie's already asleep in my arms but It seems that I can't let go of her.

Umupo ako sa tabi ng asawa ko at kinausap ito kagaya ng normal kong ginagawa araw-araw.

"Hey. Sana gumising ka na mahal. Our children still needs you. I still need you. It's breaking my heart everyday seeing you in this situation. I love you and I'll always pray for your return. I'll just trust God na hindi ka niya pababayaan o kahit kami. I just hope that you're okay there kung nasaan ka man. Sana marinig mo na ako, mahal..."

Bumuntong hininga ako ng malalim bago yumukod at halikan siya sa kaniyang pisng

Kasabay noon ay ang pag tunog ng heartbeat monitor niya na nagpatingala sa'kin.

"H-hunter..."

A sultry voice woke me up from my deep sleep for almost a year. The eyes that I yearn to see again was looking straight into mine now.

I was dazed and couldn't speak nor think straight to the point that I didn't realize that my wife is finally awake.

My sunshine has finally shone again after it's long disappearance that made me lonely. My love has finally returned.
