Chapter 34

AMARA's POV:

As the day goes by, I tried so hard to be strong and steadfast for my children. I emotionally threw away all the sadness that weaken the whole of me, to focus and to refine for my children's welfare.

"Alright, baby doll, what was the name of that candy again?" I ask Tyarra while focusing my attention on the road.

"W-wonka's Nerds po Naynay, with the pink and purple sour candies in a small box." direstong saad ni Tyarra sa kabilang linya, na aakalain mo'y matanda na kung mananalita, ngunit sa maliit na timbre ng boses nito.

"Hahaha! Noted my baby doll. Sige na anak, Naynay's driving. Just wait for me, okay?" ani ko rito before I cut the line.

I was quite amused with Tyarra's habit. Sa mura nitong edad na limang taong gulang, ay hindi na maitatago ang pagiging matalino ng aking anak. Tyarra is a package of tender, loving and caring kid, which she had gotten from her Father Tyron.

I was saddened, but more of depressing, because I remember Tyron's memories again. Hindi ko tuloy mapigilan na mapahawak sa dibdib ko, dahil hanggang ngayon ay nandirito pa rin ang sakit, sariwa pa rin ang mga ala-ala niya na patuloy kong ikinakalungkot dahil sa biglaang pagkawala ng aking asawa.

"Haaayyy... Amara, this is not good for you," I told myself before leaning my back on the driver's seat. "You can't stay like this forever, meron kang mga anak na umaasa sayo." pangkukumbinsi ko sa aking sarili bago ko narating ang parking lot ng Mall.

I quickly got off the car, before I went straight to the Candy Corner to buy Tyarra's treats. While I was waiting to wrap up my purchased candies, I suddenly heard a sobbing kid outcrying her Mother's name.

"M-mama Tess!" sigaw nito na siyang dahilan para tuluyan ko na itong binalingan. I saw a little girl crying on the side of the store. I felt sorry for her, so I decided to talk to her.

As I was about to approach the kid, a man suddenly came to it.

My heart just literally pounding like a huge drum, because I know who owns that well-built frame kahit nakatalikod pa ito. My tears just began to came in sight, dahil kilala ko ang taong nasa harap ko ngayon.

"T-tyron..." I whisper, while my whole body started to tremble because of my long wait longing for him.

As I walk towards him, I cannot help myself but shaking. I was overwhelmed with so much joy in my heart, because finally, I saw the man who owns the whole of me since the day we were together.

"This is it, I'm almost close to him, just a few steps left Amara, at mayayakap mo na ulit ang lalaking pinakamamahal mo." I utter myself while slowly stepping toward him.

As I was close to where he was standing, he suddenly glance at me which made me surprised.

My forehead creased, because of the plain expression Tyron met me. Iyong mga titig na hindi mo gugustuhing makita, dahil ipinapahiwatig nito ang kawalan mo ng halaga para sa kanya.

"H-hi..." I said while half smiling, as my exaggerated tears continue to flow down on my cheeks.

Nakita ko na nangunot ang kanyang noo, but I don't mind it. Ang importante ay nakita ko na siya, nahanap ko na ang lalaking lumisan kasama ang puso ko.

I saw confusion with his eyes, the reason for me to get closer to him and hugged my husband too tight.

"B-babe..." humahagulgol kong saad dahil sa wakas kayakap ko na ulit si Tyron, si Tyron na asawa ko.

We were in that position, when I suddenly felt that he quickly removed my arms that touching in his waist. My eyes were asking as I looked at him intently, asking and thinking why he was not eager to see me.

"B-babe..." I utter while wiping out my tears and sobbing.

I saw he's surprised when I suddenly called him babe, so I spoke again, "B-babe... I'm happy that you're okay, we've been looking for you." lumuluha ngunit nakangiti kong saad dito habang hinakawakan ko ang kanyang magkabilang pisngi.

"Miss na miss na kita, babe. After one and a half years, you're finally back." walang pagsidlan ang kasiyahan ko sa pangyayaring ito.

Nang akmang yayakapin ko na siyang muli ay mabilis akong iniwasan ni Tyron, the reason for me to stopped, and just look at him with too much confusion.

"I-I'm sorry Miss, do I know you?" He said that really caught me off guard.

"T-tyron..." I said, that makes his gorgeous eyes widen.

He was about to speak again, when we suddenly heard his phone ringing. He just glances at me, before he finally answered the call.

"Hey, babe..." saad ni Tyron na siyang ikinalaki nang husto ng aking mga mata.

B-babe... Sinong babe ang kausap niya? naguguluhang sambit ko sa aking sarili, habang nakatanaw kay Tyron na ngayon ay nakatalikod na.

Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko, my body is starting to crack such as a delicate glass that soon will break into pieces.

Kaya niya ba kami iniwan dahil may iba na siya? Why would he have to pretend that he didn't know me.

We can talk about it if he doesn't really love me, right? Why should he leave without his formal goodbye. At mas masahol pa rito, he lied about being gone for years.

Nasa ganoong pag-iisip ako nang biglang marinig ko ang boses ni Tyron, "I have to go babe..." sandali itong tumigil bago tumingin sa akin. "I love you!"

Mas nalungkot ako nang marinig ko ang mga katagang iyon. Ang dating mga salitang iyon na para sa akin, ngayon ay isinasambit na niya para sa ibang babae.

He has spoken that magical words to other woman, that definitely not me.

"Ahh... Miss, have we met and why are you calling me Tyron?" nakangiting usal nito sa akin. That gorgeous smile that I've missed for a long time.

"Tyron... Babe, I'm your wife, Amara. Hindi mo ba ako nakikilala." nagsusumamo kong saad dito.

"Sorry but my wife's name is Sandy." he astoundingly replied that really hurts the deep within me.

"T-tyron... Asawa mo ako! Wag mo naman gawin sa akin ito, please." I wept bitterly before I held his right hand. Dahan-dahan kong inilagay ang kamay niya sa kaliwang dibdib ko, para kahit sa simpleng pagpintig ng puso ko ay maalala niya ako.

He quickly pull off his hands into mine and said, "Listen, I don't know you and you better stop calling me, Tyron. Cause I'm not the man you're looking for." matigas niyang anas bago ako tinalikuran.

I quickly run as fast as I could, to reach his big steps. When I finally chase him, I swiftly held his nape before I kissed him on the lips.

That magical kiss lasted for a minute before our eyes meet.

Tyron, gently touches his lips before facing me with confused looks. I sweetly smiled at him as if I were saying, if he remembers those sweet kisses.

His brows were furrowed and seconds have passed he looks at me furiously, "Why did you do that?!" He shouted that made me startle to death.

"W-why not? I'm you're wife for pete's sake, Tyron!" At this point my tears are starting to flow again.

"Stop calling me, Tyron, cause I'm not the man you're looking for. My name is James and honestly, you start to creep the hell out of me, Lady!" he said with too much sarcasm and turn his back on me.

I'm just crying my heart out, fighting between pain and regrets. Panghihinayang, dahil nawala na nang tuluyan ang lalaking pinakamamahal ko. The man who stood by me in times that I was weak.

I embraced my body, to comfort myself with the sadness I am facing right now.

"T-tyron..."

That's the last word I whisper while looking at him walking away from me, and being left behind again, by the man I love the most.
