Chapter Sixteen: Make Sense

Hindi niya natapos ang sasabihin niya dahil kinuwelyuhan ko na siya. Nanggagalaiti ako sa galit; kating-kati ang mga kamay kong saktan at gulpihin siya.

"What do you need huh? Listen bastard, I will never let my wife go."

"Get the hell off me, man!" Reklamo niya sabay tulak sa'kin. "Ano'ng problema mo?"

"Stop this damn lame game. Kahit anong gawin mo, hindi ko iiwan si Chances."

"Well, you should. Wala kang karapatang saktan siya. Where is she? About last time, why didn't she remember me? What the hell happened, Harrison? What happened to Chances?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong.

"I don't know. You tell me."

"What?"

"Tsk. I was in coma and you are not. Anyway, how did you survive our accident, Guerrero?"

"What the hell? Are you accusing me of plotting the accident?"

"I didn't say anything like that." I said, smirking. "Stay the hell away from us, from my wife."

"Look Zacchary, mahal na mahal ko si Chances kaya nga nagparaya ako diba? What happened on the road that day, I don't know if it was plotted or just a mere accident." He explained. The jerk ran his fingers through his hair. "Can I talk to her? I want to know if she's fine."

"I said stay the hell away. One step towards her Guerrero, I will not hesitate to pull a trigger at you." Pagbabanta ko bago siya iniwan para bumalik kay Chances.

Nang makita ko siyang kausap ang asawa ni Isaac, napatakbo kaagad ako. Gayunpaman, napatigil din ako agad dahil nagtawanan silang dalawa na para bang kumportable sila sa isa't isa.

"I hope I can fully remember everything. But regarding your painting, it's in our museum." Kwento ni Chances. Wait, why would we hang a painting by that woman in our museum?

"Hindi kita napasalamatan ng maayos, Mrs. Harrison. Well, I went once to the hospital when your husband was in coma, but you weren't in a mood to talk about things that day and I understand. I am so happy to see you again." Ngiti lang ang naging tugon ng asawa ko. "Maraming salamat ulit, Mrs. Harrison. That Beautiful Chaos you have made known to the world saved my grandmother's life. It saved me."

"You deserve it, Mrs. Guerrero." Napatingin si Chances sa gawi ko at binigyan ako ng ngiti. "Nandito na ang asawa ko. Maybe I should go." Paalam niya bago lumapit sa'kin.

Inakbayan ko siya kaagad. Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa balikat niya nang makita si Isaac na nakatitig sa'min. Tinapunan ko siya ng masamang tingin at hindi ko rin siya tinigilan hanggang sa tantanan niya ng titig ang asawa ko.

"You are right babe. We should head home now. If everything is under this psychopath's control,he must have made it to Sephy first. Maybe, this is the time to seek for help."

"What do you mean?"

"Hindi ko 'to ginawa noon dahil alam kong hindi sila maniniwalang ikaw ang asawa ko."

"Ipapaalam natin sa mga pulis ang tungkol sa'kin? Zacc, you're right. Walang maniniwala sa'tin. We also lack evidences."

Natameme ako dahil tama siya. Ni hanggang ngayon nga ay hindi pa naibigay ni tito Francis ang listahan na hinihingi ko. Wala kaming kahit na isang ebidensiya na makakapagpatunay sa nangyari sa asawa ko. In the very first place, the authority will not believe that she is my wife especially that the result of the DNA is positive.

"But I will call a few people to find Sephy. I need more information about her, babe."

Tumango siya. Hindi na kami nagpirmi pa ng matagal sa resort, nagpasundo na kaagad kami ng chopper na dumating naman kaagad makalipas ang isang oras.

"I don't really know so much about Symphony." Chances stated out of sudden, breaking the silence. "Naglayas siya, 'yon ang nalaman ko kay Nero. Symphony Anderson, that's all I know."

"Symphony Anderson?"

Why is that name so familiar to me? Para bang ilang ulit ko ng narinig ang pangalan na 'yan. Symphony Anderson. Symphony— Damn! Finding Symphony! It's the woman from Ajax Vinzon's book, the woman he's looking for.

It's all making sense now. What the hell! Mr. Vinzon stopped seeing me not because he is busy coping up with some important matters in the business. He did it because somehow, like me, someone threatened him.

"Babe? Are you okay?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Chances. Narealize kong napahigpit ang paghawak ko sa kamay niya. "Zacc? Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Nero was supposed to be awake already, Chan, right?"

"He was really awake that day I told you. Pero hindi ko siya nakausap ng matagal dahil hindi pa siya nakakapagsalita ng maayos. He's very weak."

"He is in danger, Chances."

Hindi dapat ako makaramdam ng saya sa ganitong sitwasyon. It's so ridiculous. Who would thought that a complex situation such as this will be the confirmation that she is my wife? Kung hindi siya si Chances, bakit pinipigilan nilang malaman ko ang totoong nangyari sa araw na 'yon? Bakit pinapatahimik lahat ng konektado sa buhay ni Chances? It explained all the whys and hows in my head for months.

"Ano'ng ibig mong sabihin? Bakit nasa panganib si Nero?"

"Siya lang ang makakapagsabi sa totoong nangyari sa'yo matapos kang makaalis sa hospital. He's the person who's with you when you are awake. That is why he has to stay asleep so he cannot talk. Whoever is the person behind all this doesn't want me to know the real story. This psychopath wanted us apart. To be able to do that Chan, I should not know that you are my wife."

"But who will do it?"

That. I don't know. Who could have done it? Is it Isaac because he was obsessed with her? I don't know what could be the reason if it's mom. Is it dad? Did he hate Chances that much for me? Divina? Oh, that silly ex-girlfriend of mine is really crazy but I don't think she really is capable of killing someone. But who can tell? Some people forget themselves because of obsession.

Obsession. Iyan ba ang dahilan? Does that mean... No, no. Mirana is not obsessed with me.
