Dreb's POV
We arrived at the house and I went straight to my room. I stared at the ceiling for a while and I remembered all the moments I have with Andrea. A tear fell out on my eyes when I realized what I had told her earlier.
"why did I her that?" I asked myself and I cover my eyes with my pillow.
Someone knocked the door and I stop and wiped my tears. I fixed myself first and started to speak. "come in"
I was still in bed because I can't went to my wheelchair alone. Lenna come in and looked at me.
"you okay?"
"yes, I'm fine"
"you're gonna let go of Andrea?" she asked me and I just looked at her.
"yes of course" I looked away and she just smiled at me.
"I think you keep you're promise Dreb"
"I will, after I got my treatment. We will be living together with our child."
"thank you Dreb" Lenna hugged me I just hugged her back and I said I will take some rest. She leave the room and I started to closed my eyes.
Tomorrow is our flight, everyone is settled and I think I'm ready. I'm ready for letting go of Andrea again. I leave her once again.
Morning came, a sunny day woke me up. Lenna is done packing all my stuff and we are ready to go to the airport. It's already 6:30, I texted Crystal to take us to the airport.
Crystal arrived and she and Lenna put our suitcase on the back of the car. They assisted me to went inside the car.
We arrived at the airport and they assisted me to went inside. People are watching on us, until we arrived at our plane.
I was about to enter the plane when I saw a face like Andrea. I looked back and I really saw her. She was running and sweats begin to fell on her head down to her cheeks. Lenna pushed me inside the plane and I turned my back on Andrea.
Lenna find our seats while I'm still looking at the window of the plane. Lenna take me to our seat and assisted me to sit. She put my seat belt on and arrange our suitcase.
"you okay?" I asked her as she sit down with a deep breath.
"I'm okay, how about you?"
"I'm good"
She smiled at me and put her seat belt on. She look at some magazines and drink some water. I looked at her stomach and just smiled to see it. She's 3 months pregnant and I'm happy and excited to see my child.
I suddenly reached out my hands to her stomach and I rubbed her stomach. She look at me and laugh. "what are you doing?"
"I'm checking the baby"
She just smiled and I continue to rubbed her stomach. I feel sleepy and I went back to my seat and lay my back on the chair. I slowly closed my eyes and take some sleep.
"Dreb?" someone shaking me now as I opened my eyes I saw Lenna and other flight attendant where in front of me.
"what happened?"
"we are here" Lenna said and stopped her laughter. I looked like a fool to myself.
They assisted me to get on my wheelchair and get off the plane. We were outside, Lenna was pushing my wheelchair adn some staff carry our suitcase.
"I'm sorry" she looked at me and wander what I'm talking about.
"for what?"
"for taking care of me. I'm sorry, I will pay everything you've done to me Lenna"
"no need for that, I'm happy to be with you. That's all I ever wanted" she said and it makes me happy
"thank you" she rubbed my head and continued to push the wheelchair. She get some taxi and we ride it on.
I contact the doctor and I message him that I arrived at the US. He replied and texted me the hotel we were staying.
Were here outside the hotel, the staff helped Lenna with our suitcase and put it on our room. I was still here in the wheelchair while I remembered I saw Andrea on the airport. What is she doing there? And why is she running? Is that because of me?
I shook my head and clear what's on my mind. I took some deep breath as we enter the room.
The doctor was already there and he smiled when I enter the room. "Glad you're here Mr. Mendoza"
"thank you Doc"
"so, can we begin?" I just nodded and we started the treatment.
It's 8pm when we finished the first day of session for my treatment. It was tiring but now I can now moved my legs slowly.
Lenna was smiling at me because she was happy to see me smiling. "I'm glad you smiled now"
"I'm feeling better now, thanks to Doctor Noel"
"I'm really excited to our wedding Dreb" she said while rubbed her tummy.
I looked at her and smiled at her. "I'm also glad also Lenna. I just pray I can walked again and I want to take care of you Lenna."She walked towards me and hugged me .
We go to our room and started to sleep, I slowly closed my eyes and start to sleep. I was awake when I heard something on the other room. Me and Lenna was sleeping in a separate room. I slowly to get up and I just listen to what I'm hearing.
"Dreb is getting better Ma, Don't worry about him. I take care of him" I went back to sleep and feel relieved what I've heard.
A rainy morning woke me up, I yawned first before getting up, I slowly stand and I was holding a metal besides me. I'm standing now and I do it myself , I'm glad I can stand alone now. I think everything will be back at normal now. I slowly let go of the metal I was holding and started to walked but I suddenly fell on the floor. I was disappointed and Doctor Noel came onto my room.
"Mr. Mendoza? Don't try too hard, we can take it slowly" Doctor Noel walked towards me and assisted me on standing up. I'm now sitting on the bed and I think I can't get myself back again. I'm now loosing hope and I think I can't get back to normal again. I just looked at my foot and I hit it with the metal I was holding earlier. "You damn legs, can't you be back to normal again." Doctor Noel took the metal away from me.
"What are you thinking?" The doctor was a little bit angry at me.
"I'm now loosing my hope Doctor"
"Don't you ever say that Mr. Mendoza. No one did ever say that, in the years I've been treating my patients. Yes, some of them give up but stand up again. So, please don't ever give up that easily. What would Lenna think if you give up? What about your wedding? What about the people waiting for you in the Philippines? Just think about them Dreb."
The words that Doctor Noel says got me to be back at myself. I fixed myself and slowly stand together with the metal besides me. Doctor Noel just looked at me and assisted me as I slowly walking. I took some deep breath before continuing to walked slowly. It puts a wide smile on my moth when I walked with a few minutes. My legs are shaking and Doctor Noel put me on my wheelchair.
"Just rest for now and practice for tomorrow" he said while smiling widely.
I nodded and we went to the living room and saw Lenna cooking some breakfast. "Let's eat " She prepare so many foods, Doctor Noel eat with us, "This one is delicious"
"Thanks Doc"
"By the way, Doctor Noel?"
"Yes?"
"I'm inviting you to our wedding" I said and Lenna looked so surprised.
"Sure, I'm glad I'm invited" He said while drinking the soup.
After we done eating, Doctor Noel leave and I went inside the room. Lenna looked at me and she looks so happy.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked her while looking at her seriously.
"I'm just happy to see you like this, you look happier now Dreb and I'm thankful for that"
She smiled at me and turn her back on me and wash the plates. I hope I can help her with the house chores.
It made me sad seeing Lenna do all the house chores while she's pregnant. I want her to rest and I'll do everything. I want to cook for her and take care of her.
My phone rang and I saw Aly is calling now. "What's up Bro?"
"I have something to tell you, It's about Andrea's mom"
My eyes widened as he tell me that. "What about her mom?"
"We found her"
I smile widely as Aly said that words, I think I'm the happiest person in the world. After hearing that I can't think of Andrea. I know she would be happy to hear about this news. I was smiling and I was about to called Andrea as I realized I would hurt Lenna's feelings if I contact Andrea.
And one more thing, she didn't remember anything in the past. I sighed and put my phone on my pocket.
