MARA’S POV
I was in America when I found out the news that my husband had an accident. I immediately booked a flight back to the Philippines after hearing the news.
I still do not know the exact details of the accident because I was in a hurry to get back here.
As soon as the plane landed, I immediately call Yelle to asked an update about Maru. As per her, Maru’s condition is now stable.
According to the doctor, he almost lost his life because he removed his seatbelt.
When I saw our company driver, I asked him to send me to the hospital where my husband was confined.
Even though Yelle told me that he is stable now, I still can’t help myself to worry about him.
When we arrived at the hospital where my husband is, I was trembling as I went inside.
Then I saw my husband in the private room, he look so weak and full of bruise on his face. I can feel my knees weaken from the sight of it.
I was trembling as I go near him.
Maru’s mom immediately huged me. I didn’t noticed the people inside because I was so worried and scared for my husband.
As I look at Maru’s mom, I also look around the room.
Our parents were there. Also Manang Biding, Manang Lucy, James, Yelle and Alex were there.
“Thank God he’s okay now. His body didn’t have any severe damage. Thank God for the airbags that protective him.” Maru’s mom sobbed.
“Has he woken up yet?” I asked weakly.
She shook her head. “Not yet Mara. He haven’t awaken yet since the operation. But as per the doctor it was normal because he is still gaining energy from the accident.”
I wanted to touch Maru’s face but I was afraid he might get hurt.
So in the end I just held his hand.
“Hon I’m here. Please wake up.” I said crying.
“What happen hon? I just went to America then I will receive a news that you met an accident.” I said while sobbing.
“He’s with Jana when the accident happened.” James said.
I furrowed from what I hear. I turn to James.
“Where is she?” I asked him.
“She’s in the other room. She isn’t hurt much because you husband protected her.”
I felt pain in my chest.
I look at Maru.
Jana really mean so much to you right Maru? You can even sacrifice yourself just to protect her.
My tears kept falling. I am feeling a lot of emotions now.
I do not know if I will be annoyed, jealous, hurt or pity him.
I want to get mad at him, because in order to save that woman, he is willing to risk his life.
If he end up dying, what will happen to me? What will happen to our daughter? Did he even think of me and my daughter before he saved her?!
“Where are they supposed to go?” I asked them calmly.
I want to know why and how it happened.
“Based on the investigation, it looks like these two were heading to Tagaytay because the scene of the accident were near Tagaytay. Maru seems to have avoided the truck, but he did not notice the tree. Or maybe he chose to crashed the car in the tree because they had a better chance of surviving the accident. ” He explained.
Tagaytay. Their sweet sanctuary. I wanted to smirked.
Then we heard the door open.
My blood immediately rose to my head when I saw who was at the door.
I went to her and slap her.
“What did you do to my husband!!!” I shouted at her.
I slap her again. “What do you really want?!!”
The people there immediately stopped us. James held me while Alex held Jana.
“I’m sorry.” She whispered.
“Sorry?!!! Will my husband be healed by your sorry?!!!” I shouted.
“What are you going to do in Tagaytay huh?!!! Tell me!!!!” I ask her angrily.
“I-I’m sorry Mara we didn’t mean it.” She said while trembling.
“What are you saying that you guys didn’t mean Jana?!!! Tell me!!!” I said already hysterical.
“Andrew and I love each other. We were planning to go to Tagaytay to spend time alone.” She said almost a whisper but clear enough for us to hear.
“What are you saying?!” I asked coldly.
“I can’t keep it anymore Mara. That’s why I am asking for your forgiveness. Especially now, I almost lost him. I don’t want to waste our time. I will fight for our love.” She said a bit determined.
Everyone gasped from Jana’s revelation.
“Are you crazy? What are you saying?” I asked her in annoyance.
“Its not true that we didn’t love each other. Because even before and until now, we still love each other. If Tanya didn’t come into your life, we were already planning to elope so that we can be together forever.” She said while crying.
“Do you think I will believe you?” I told her.
“Isn’t it enough proof to you that Maru and I went to Tagaytay? That place served as our sanctuary. That place is the witness of our love for each other.”
She went to me and kneel down.
“I’m begging you Mara. Just let him go. We really love each other. Please Mara, please…” she pleaded while kneeling down.
“What are you saying Jana? My son loves Mara and not you! Don’t try to ruin my son’s family!” Maru’s mom can’t help but to butt in.
“Auntie I’m really sorry. I can’t take it anymore. I know that you don’t like me for your son. But we really love each other auntie.”
She then face me again begging. “Please Mara just let me and Maru love each other. Please let him go. I’m begging you.”
I can’t stop my tears from flowing. My heart also tightened.
I look at her coldly. “Okay. I am letting you guys go. I hope you two can be happy.”
After I said that I left the hospital. I can hear them calling my name but I chose to ignore them.
