Dreb's POV
Andrea left the two of us here in the hospital. Kevin look at me seriously and sighed.
"she still love you" my eyes widened as he speak. I couldn't believe what I'm hearing right now. I still love her too but I have Lenna now.
"what are you talking about Kevin?"
"she really love you Dreb, you know that right?" I just look at him and I already knew Andrea still loves me. But I couldn't believe I'm hearing this from Kevin.
"she confess all while we are on the restaurant near the beach. I saw the sadness on her eyes, she was all alone in the past few months. I was so worried for her but I think she become stronger now and she can handle things on her own. But I want to ask for a favor Dreb, "
" what is it? "
" Just be with her just one day, I will make her wish to become a reality. She'd wish to be with you just for one day. She would be the luckiest person on earth, she said those words when we meet. "I was just shocked and just like a statue standing here.
" I want to do that but I can't do that. I have Lenna now and I can't let be hurt because of that"he looks disappointed. I sighed and look at him, "I'm sorry Kevin but I don't want to hurt Lenna just for Andrea to be happy" even if those words are a bit to harsh but I don't want to hurt Lenna's feelings.
"I understand, but I just hope you could just gave her to be with you just one day." I was about to speak when someone open the door.
It was Andrea, she was looking on us weirdly and wandering what are we talking about. "Kevin? Are you now fine?" she asked Kevin while walking slowly closer to us.
Kevin just nodded, she prepare the food she's carrying. She handed some plates for me and Kevin, "you guys should eat, I'll buy some water first" she was about to leave when I stop her.
"let me go with you" she stop walking and look back at me.
"no, it's fine I can take this one"
"no, I insist let me go with you" she just roll her eyes and nodded. I was behind her when she stop, looking at me in a serious manner.
"why did you come here with me?" she asked me seriously that I can't even look at her face.
"I just want to tell you something" I grabbed her hands and went outside the hospital. Were outside the hospital garden and sat on a bench.
"what are we gonna do here?" she asked me while looking at the green grass around us.
"do you still love me Andrea?" she was surprised and didn't answer. I think I'm too fast to asked that question. We were silent until she sighed and faced me.
"yes, I still love you but I understand you have lenna now. I hope for your happiness and live life to the fullest. I hope you can take care of her and your baby." those words like a stab in my heart.
"I'm sorry" I hold her hands and she look at me. She just smiled and tap my hands.
"it's okay, I'm just happy for the both of you. And by the way, I'm leaving Philippines soon" she said as she stand. I was shocked and can't even moved, I just stare at her and look at her face.
"I'll go then Dreb,"
"wait" she stop walking and turn her back on me. She was just smiling in front of me. Why didn't she tell me that she had feelings for me. I thought she'd move on and forget about me. But why, she's telling this right now.
"why didn't you tell me?"
"I did what I did" she turn her back and slowly walking away, I don't know what happened but my body suddenly reacts and my feet run towards her. I just hug her from the back.
"don't leave me again, please"
"what are you doing Dreb, let me go" I suddenly face her towards me and I was about to kiss her when she slap me.
"I'm sorry but can't you just fix your life with Lenna? Can't you just be responsible for her? Can't you love her back?" I was back at myself and realized that I was hurting Lenna because of my feelings for Andrea.
"but I don't love her, I still love you Andrea. I can't live without her"
She was on tears now, I wiped it out but she pushed my hands off. "don't you dare touch and come near me again" she walked away. I'm so stupid to let her go, I'm such a jerk that I let go of the woman I love the most.
Because of my anger I kick the trash bin beside the bench. I slowly walked towards the car in the parking area. I was inside when Lenna called me.
"yes? What happened?"
"I'm at the hospital right now, I was calling you yesterday but you didn't answer"
"I'm on my way"
"how is she doc?" I asked the doctor as I saw Lenna laying in the hospital bed.
"she's fine now, but the baby is in danger. You must take care of her, you must watch over her. I think you're wife is stress lately. I can see it in her face. She's tired and she need some rest"
"okay thanks doc"
I enter the room and she look at me. She just smile and the doctor was right. She look tired and need some rest. Her dark circles were big and she look so thin. I can't even watch her and the baby. How irresponsible I am.
I"m sorry"i walked towards her and hug her.
"it's okay, the baby is fine now, you don't need to worry much. Okay?" she just smiled. I lean closer towards her and kiss her in her lips.
"thank you for understanding me"
"that's okay, I will always understand you Dreb no matter what"
I smiled at her and hug her. I felt happy because she always understood me. She was always there for me. She's been so kind to me and I can't even think if I can hurt her. I don't know if this what I'm feeling is love or I just want to take responsibility for the baby. I'm really confused right now and I can't even think straight. But right now I know I will protect Lenna and the baby away from danger.
After a week Lenna and I went home. I hired some nanny to help her in the house while I'm at work. She's 4 months pregnant now. And I promise I will take care of her from now on. I want her to be happy so that the baby would be healthy.
I was at work when suddenly Kevin called me. "hello?" I answer while I turned my swivel chair.
"let's talk"
I was at a bar and went inside, I saw Kevin in the corner and went towards him. I look at him while he's drinking and she's with a woman. I was surprised to see Andrea here in the bar. She's drunk and she slept.
"Kevin? What is this?" Kevin look at me and smiled. "she was looking for you and she slept."
"she's looking for me?"
"yes, and she get drunk because you didn't show up" I sit down beside Andrea and look at her face. She was so red because of drunkness.
"please take care of her for me Dreb. I leave first"
"but kevi-" he left, I just took a deep breath and look at Andrea. Her eyes were open and she was smiling.
"you came? Or this is just a dream?" she was holding my face and she pinch it. It was painful but she was so cute. I laughed and hold her body when she was about to fall.
"I will take you home now" she just hug me tight. "I don't want you to leave me. I don't want you to get married in other woman. I want us to get back. Why I can't be happy in this world?" she was crying while saying those words. I felt sad and I feel like I was being so selfish.
I hurt her from the past, I never get the chance to explain everything to her. I wasted my time on hurting this woman. The woman I love the most is crying right now because of me.
Suddenly her head went up and face me. She hold my face and look at me seriously. "can't you not get married to her?" she asked me while she's pouting. I even laughed a bit when I saw her cute face.
"but, we have a baby soon" she look so sad when I said those words.
"I hope you will know the truth soon, I hope you can be with me. I can't even talk the truth to you. I don't want you to take it from me. I will take care of this and don't even look for me." I don't get it what she said I just look at her and slowly standing up to go home.
" I love you so much and I miss you"i looked at her and she slowly lean towards me and about to kiss me but she feel asleep.
That was close.
