Miracle roamed her eyes around the room and it was a complete disaster. Bottles everywhere, garbage around the kitchen counter and anything.
Kinagat niya ang ibabang labi habang pilit na hinahanap ang asawa.
"Maybe he's still sleeping," she whispered to herself.
Lumapat ang mga mata niya sa isang pintuan na sa tingin niya ay kwarto ng lalaki.
Dahan-dahan niyang binaba ang bag sa sofa bago tahakin ang direksyon na 'yon. Huminto siya sa tapat ng pintuan at walang ingay na pinihit ang door knob.
Her eyes automatically landed at Trigger who's peacefully sleeping on the bed.
Hindi niya maiwasan ang sarili na mangilid ang luha nang makita na ito. She missed him so much. Pakiramdam niya kasi ay hindi siya kumpleto noong mga nagdaang araw dahil hindi niya ito nakikita.
At ngayon na malapit na siya ulit dito, pakiramdam niya ay kumpleto na siya ulit, na wala nang kulang sa kaniya.
She walked towards her husband as she sat down on the bed. Bahagya niyang inangat ang kamay para haplusin ang mukha ng lalaki.
"I'm sorry," naiiyak niyang sabi rito. "Sorry for hurting you, baby. Patawarin mo ako sa lahat ng ginawa kong mali sa 'yo."
Miracle leaned forward to kiss his forehead. "Babawi ako sa 'yo, Trigger. I'll do everything for you to forgive me and to forgive yourself for the things you thought you caused. Kahit magalit ka sa akin, ayos lang. Gusto ko lang makabawi sa 'yo."
She kissed him for the last time before leaving the bedroom. Bumaling agad ang atensyon niya sa magulong paligid at nagsimulang ayusin ang mga 'yon.
Kinakabahan siya sa kung anong magiging reaksyon ni Trigger kapag nakita siya nito. Hindi niya alam kung magagalit ba ito o matutuwa.
And whatever happens, she's still sure about introducing Alistair to him. Hindi niya ipagdadamot ang anak nila sa asawa niya. Hindi na.
TRIGGER woke up when he felt the unexplainable pain on his head. Kinagat niya ang ibabang labi sa inis dahil sa hang-over.
He shouldn't have take that much alcohol. It always strikes back when he's already in a good state.
Inis na kinuha niya ang cellphone sa lamesa para tingnan ang orasan. Halos mamura niya ang sarili nang makitang halos magga-gabi na.
"Fuck, Trigger. You have a business meeting, ass hole," galit niyang bulong.
It's too late for him to prepare and catch up, he's already late for two hours.
He cleared his throat as he heard a noise from the outside. Agad namang kumunot ang noo niya dahil wala naman siyang inimbitang bisita.
Was it Dagger?
He washed his face to lessen his hang-over first before wearing a black shirt and jog pants. After fixing himself, he stepped outside the bedroom only to get confused of his surroundings.
Hindi naman siya tanga para makalimutan kung gaano kagulo ang sala kagabi.
"Who the fuck cleaned my room without my permission?"
Nang makarinig muli ng ingay sa kusina ay dali-dali siyang naglakad papalapit doon. He saw different kinds of dishes on the kitchen counter.
He was about to make a phone call to ask Dagger about what happened but a voice from behind him caught his attention.
"Are you hungry? I'm sure you still have a hang-over."
Trigger was too stunned to look at that person. He knows that voice very well.
Pinikit niya nang mariin ang mga mata para siguraduhing hindi siya lasing. Nang hindi makuntento ay tuluyan na siyang lumingon sa likuran para malaman kung totoo ba ang hinala niya.
And his heart went wild when he finally saw who's the owner of that voice.
His wife... His Miracle.
"I'm sorry for entering your room without a permission. They gave me a key so I just went inside," saad nito at bahagya pang tinaas ang hawak na susi.
His eyes darkened upon seeing her this close.
Mabilis siyang naglakad papalapit sa asawa bago ito mahigpit na niyakap. The coldness of his eyes vanished. Napalitan ito ng mga luha na kanina niya pa pinipigilan.
"Baby, I miss you. I miss you so much. I thought I'll never see you again," umiiyak niyang sabi rito at pinaulanan ito ng halik sa noo.
Miracle stood frozen with her husband's sudden reaction. Akala niya ay sisigawan siya nito at palalayasin sa galit. But he did otherwise.
"Trigger," naiiyak niyang bulong sa pangalan nito.
"Hmm? I'm all ears baby. Do you want to say something?" malambing nitong tanong bago sapuin ang magkabila niyang pisngi.
Umiiyak na ngumiti siya rito. "Miss na miss na rin kita."
She saw how his eyes shine after hearing those words. Maingat na nilapat ng lalaki ang labi nito sa kaniya at buong pagmamahal siyang hinalikan.
"Me too, my wife. You don't know how much I fucking miss you. I nearly got insane after you left me. Akala ko hindi mo na ako babalikan, para akong mamamatay sa kakaisip kung anong sitwasyon mo. Kung ayos ka lang ba, kung wala ka bang nararamdaman na iba. I was fucking worried about you and that made me more lose my sanity. I can't stop thinking about you for these past few days," pag-amin nito habang mahigpit pa rin siyang yakap.
Miracle sobbed. "I love you. And I'm sorry for the things I said to you that night. Walang katotohanan ang lahat ng 'yon, Trigger. I was genuinely happy with you and I really love you."
"I love you too, baby. And stop saying sorry, please? You were hurt too. I understand everything. Palagi kitang iintindihin at hindi ako magsasawang gawin 'yon. You don't have to say sorry to me, you didn't do anything wrong." Mas lalong napaiyak si Miracle nang sabihin 'yon ng asawa.
He still doesn't know that she already knew about what happened. Kahit sinaktan niya ang lalaki ay siya pa rin ang iniisip nito.
"Trigger, you don't have to make me feel better. Alam ko na ang lahat. Shanelle told me about everything that I need to know. Including my disorder and what really happened between us," diretsyo niyang saad dito.
Nakita niya pa ang pagdaan ng gulat sa mga mata ng asawa.
"Is that the reason why you came back?"
She nodded. "And I also want to introduce someone to you."
