Kit's POV
It's been 2 years that Ming disappeared. He got in a car accident and we cannot tell if he is still alive for there is no trace of his body after. We were looking for him for one and a half year. We visited all the clinics and hospitals to check or see if his name will come up in their database or system. I do not want to give up. Half of me tells me to move on and accept the fact that he is no longer with us and half of me tells me not to give up because he is still alive. I can feel it in my bones and my guts never failed me. I know that my MMs is out there alive somewhere.
When my parent in laws decided to give up and arranged their son's funeral, I didn't attend even though they begged me to come and say some few words because I still believe that he is out there alive and breathing. I am always scared and worried that maybe he was kidnapped or he was hurt really badly and no one is there to help him or tend to his wounds. I was depressed for one week and stayed in our room without eating anything. I am just staring at the ceiling, and there are times that I watched our wedding video on the flat screen television Ming assembled in our bedroom when we transferred here after giving birth since I was advised to be in bed rest for the entire month. We had our second wedding with the entire family on both sides after my graduation and our twins are already a year older. We were happy for ten years.
On the wedding video:
Ming: I promise that I will make you the happiest guy in the world for you have given me the best gifts, Kim and Cop. I promise to love you forever and I will never leave you regardless how many time you throw your mood swings at me since those are one of the reasons why I fell in love with you. Your imperfections makes you the perfect partner that I have prayed for. Others said that I deserve better but they didn't know that I didn't deserve you for you are the best that God could have given me. I will love you and our kids. I will make you smile everyday and I will never make you cry. If the that day comes, I will make sure that I will be punished to every tear dropped from your eyes because I know and I will not let that day come. My Kitkat, you are the only one for me. You are the one that I will love and I can never ever love anyone but you.
Kit (while watching the video): You're a liar. Where are you now? I am crying here everyday. Come back to me Ming so I can punished you with my kisses and warm hugs. I miss you sleeping next to me. I miss your warmth, your scent, your kisses and your corny jokes. Just come back to me my love. I miss you everyday. **Kit is embracing the side of the comforter where Ming sleeps as he cries.**
Everything was perfect. He is working with his dad and sister since his dad decided to give him one of their businesses that handles and produces electronic gadgets and others. I have my own family clinic at our place so I can take care of the twins while he is gone. Our friends also got married and have their own kids. They even live next to ours. We visit our parents in their houses with the kids on Saturday. We always have our family picnic with our friends and family on Sundays. We always celebrate our anniversary to our favorite cafe or spend the night to our favorite hotel where we conceived the twins. We also decided to give it another try and have our third kid since we want to have a daughter. We planned to have it on our 11th anniversary.... But is is already the 13th year of our marriage and..... Ming, my love, where are you? Please come back to me. I was watching the wedding video everyday for I do not want to forget his face and his voice. Then one day, my twins went to me and opened the door.
Kim: Mom, we know.
Cop: We know about d--ad.
Kim: We know t--that.....
Then I suddenly saw Ming in them. Oh my God! How selfish am I? How thoughtless of me? I haven't lose everything yet. I have Kim and Cop. These are the greatest gift that I received from Ming. A family. I situp and called the twins.
Kit: Come here, kids.
Kim and Cop: M-ooom!!!
The kids run to me as I spread my arms and embraced them. The kids hugged me back and started crying with me. We cried for 30 minutes. I haven't lose Ming. I have him here in my arms, crying with me. He's still alive in our hearts. We continued hugging each other as we cry and watched the video at the same time. Reminiscing that happy days, Kim as the ring bearer and was carried by his god parent Wayo and Cop as the flower boy and was carried by his god parent Beam and they were at the altar with us as Ming sites his vows. Ming was crying at the end of it so the twins approached him and give him a warm hug. Everyone was touched for those are their first baby steps together.
After a week of being depressed, my twins and my awesome mom helped me to get my strength back. My mom went to the twin's school and asked their principal if the twins can have two months break so they can spend their time with me for mental and emotional healing. The school approved the leaves but once the twins got back to their school, they will be attending summer classes to make up for their absences. The twins accepted it since they knew that I need them to be here at my side. I am so lucky to have the twins. They are strong and brave. When I saw them at the door and looked at me, they know that there is a possibility that their dad will never come home anymore. They tried to hold back their tears because they don't want me to see them sad. They want to show me that they can be my pillar since mine disappeared on the day of the accident.
That woke me up incredibly for I was being selfish for being depressed and forgot that there are also others who are also in pain and suffering especially my kids. They lost their father, their best friend and their idol. They lose the one that they look up to they aspire to be. Who can blame my kids for trying to be just like their dad for Ming is the perfect man that I ever have. He opened up my heart and broke all my barriers and he forced himself in my life. I was blessed to have met him in my life. I can never love another man. There is no other man but him.
I remembered when I first went out after going through with the depression, I saw someone who looks exactly like my MMs. I went to the nearby supermarket to buy some groceries for I need some fresh air because there's a park in front of our area where Ming and I have our morning jog. I got our groceries some eggs, fruits and milk packed in a brown paper bag. I got out of the supermarket when I suddenly saw MMs at the park sitting at one of the benches or he seems like he is waiting for someone. I dropped our groceries and started running as I tried my best to approach him. I was not able to think straight. I know that maybe my mind is playing tricks on him so I was 1 kilometer away from him when he got up from his seat and started walking at the nearby bus stop.
I ran as fast as I could but not as fast that I want to be since I am still gaining back my strength for I haven't eaten anything substantial for a week. Maybe I am imagining that he is Ming. But I know that he is, my gut is telling me that it is him or is it just my heart hoping that it is him. I recognize that back. It's his built. It's his height. His hair got long and his beard is a little bit messy. He looked that he lose some weight but regardless what he looks like now I know that it is him. I need to get to him. I gathered all my strength and run as fast as my fragile body can. I am inches away from him when I grabbed one of his arm and looked directly at his beautiful deep dark eyes. It's him. I know that it's him.
Kit: MMs.....
.......: MMs? Pardon me, do you like some chocolate? I don't have MMs but I have Kitkat.
Kit: Ming, it's me. I'm your Kitkat. Can't you remember?
.......: I am sorry but you got the wrong person. My name is Monel.
Kit: You are Mingkwan Dechapanya. I am your husband! Where have you been? We have been looking for you for almost two years now.
Monel: Sir, as I told you. You got the wrong person. I am not your husband, I have a wife and she is waiting for me to get home.
Kit: What are you saying? You are Ming. I am your husband and I have been waiting and looking for you for these past year and 6 months. Why can't you remember me? We have kids waiting for you as well. Please come back to me. Come back to us.
Monel: I am sorry but I am not the one you are looking for. I pray that you find your husband. I need to get to this bus since my WIFE is waiting for me to get home. If you excuse me.
Kit: But! **Ming got on the bus and I was about to ride with him when someone grabbed my arm and it was Beam.**
Beam: Kitty! What are you doing out here? Is that.......
I slapped Beam's grip to get into the bus but the door was already closed and it is already leaving. I run after the bus but I can feel that my body is giving up. I tried to chase it on the next stop light up ahead but my body gave up and I fell on the ground. I can feel blood under my chin and on my knees. I kept calling out his name.
Kit: Ming! Mingkwan! **I tried to stand up and then I suddenly felt someone grab my left arm and wrapped around his shoulder. It was Forth.**
Forth: Let's chase that bus.
We tried to chase after the bus but we were too late. It is already far away. I kept on shouting out his name, hoping that he can hear my desperate call. Beam approached us and brought my groceries with him.
Beam: Is it really Mingkwan?
Forth: Yes, I think so. I saw it with my two eyes.
Kit: I can't believe it. He is alive. My Mingkwan is alive. **I was really not paying attention to Beam or Forth. What I know at that moment, my MMs is alive.**
Beam: Ok, but why didn't he recognize Kitty?
Forth: Let's not get into the details just yet. One thing we know for sure.
Beam: What is that?
Forth: We know where he is heading.
I looked at them both with such hopeful eyes when my vision started to get blurry and turned black. My MMs is alive.
