Heart Pearls
Wake up

Aldo drove his car at high speed, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the rearview mirror.

"Aldo, can you go faster?!" said Rey panicked.

"Can't, it's a spit"

Rey hugged Susan tightly inside her lap, the body pale and blood still flowing from her head.

"Susan, please hold on. Don't ever leave me" Rey said in tears.

Aldo stopped his car right in front of the ER entrance, the officer quickly and skillfully received the patient.

Susan soon received treatment from medical personnel.

"Rey, stop pacing around like that! I'm dizzy to see you"

"I'm worried, will Susan survive?."

"He's safe, believe me"

"Basic fucking woman!!. I should have killed you from the beginning" Rey said furiously.

"Down your voice Rey!! do you want to be the center of attention of this hospital?"

Rey circulated his eyes, sure enough the people who were there noticed him.

Dino ran over to them.

"How's Susan doing?" asked Dino, her breathing still unstable.

"It's still being treated by a doctor" Aldo replied.

"Is it bad?"

"His head was hit by a very strong wall" Rey explained.

"How's the lady doing?" asked Aldo.

"She's conscious and I've taken her home."

"Good"

Susan's been transferred to the treatment room but she's not conscious.

Aldo and Rey get closer to the girl's body.

"San, wakeup! it's not like you ever told me you'd never leave me and Ana. Have you forgotten that promise? Awake up!"

Aldo clasped Susan's hand and kissed the back of the delicate hand.

Rey looked at Aldo, there was envy in his heart.

How lucky Aldo was, he had two women whom he loved dearly.

She's lucky to be so close to you, Susan.

"Aldo, you'd better go home pitying Ana for your worries" said Dino, patting Aldo on the shoulder.

"How do you know?"

"So Ana called me, she was worried because you left in a hurry and worried."

"You better go home!. I'll keep Susan here" Rey said.

"alright. Rey, I'll leave Susan when she wakes up, please let me know"

"definitely. I'll tell you"

Aldo touched Susan's face gently and kissed her forehead.

"I go home first, you don't sleep long. I love you."

Actually Aldo was reluctant to leave Susan but he also could not let Ana wait for him at home with worry.

Aldo opened the door, seeing Ana sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Mas...have you come home?" said Ana to Aldo.

"Yes dear. I'm sorry for making you worry like this" Aldo said, peeping at his wife's forehead.

"What happened, Mom? why is your body so coiled and smelling fishy?"

"I'll tell you later. Can I take a shower now?"

"But Mas...."

"Darling..do you want me to hug this stinky body? What if this little one kicked me?" said Aldo, stroking Ana's large stomach.

Ana smiles and lets her husband take a bath.

As he promised, after finishing his bath Aldo told him everything that happened to his wife.

"How's Susan doing now Mas?" asked Ana worriedly.

"Do you want to go there again?"

"No dear, Rey and Dino are already there. I'm just here to hug you."

Aldo hugged Ana's body tightly.

"Mas.do not be strong - strong pity the little one can not breath."

"But the little guy here wants to play with him baby" Aldo said, pointing at his own.

"Mas...why are you so naughty?"

"How dear? can I play it?"

Ana nodded her head.

"But slowly - slowly huh? I'm afraid I'm approaching the moon"

"Definitely baby, I'll do it gently so as not to hurt her."

Without waiting for the aba - aba, Aldo immediately did the action.

Action that requires extra energy.

While in the hospital, Rey still faithfully clasped the hands of a quiet weak woman.

"It should have been from the beginning that I cleaned up the woman so she wouldn't hurt you like this. It's all my fault, I forbid me to stay away from me. Had you gone away from me, she would not have hurt you and you would not have suffered like this. I'm a fool."

Rey begins to blame herself for what happened to Susan.

"I'm sorry.I was stupid to leave you like this."

Rey cried, her hand she never let go, clutching Susan's limp hand.

Dino couldn't bear to see Rey like that.

"Rey.it's not your fault, it's fate" said Dino, trying to calm Rey.

"It's my fault. I forbid him to stay away from me. Had I obeyed Aldo's words, maybe none of this would have happened."

"What did Aldo say?"

"Aldo said Susan had to be moved to town B for a while until the damn woman we fixed up. Even Aldo would guarantee his safety by sending his men with Susan. But I'm stupid, I forbid it. Actually Aldo still wanted to send Susan there without my knowledge just waiting for the letter to move."

Rey felt sorry.

Dino patted Rey on the back, she was very understanding of her best friend.

"Rey, shouldn't you go home and take a shower? look at your body I'm so cut!"

"I'm not leaving him. I want it when he opens his eyes, I'm right next to him."

"Don't be selfish Rey. Aren't you thinking about your daughter too?"

Rey looked at Dino.

True to what Dino said, he had a daughter that he should pay attention to as well.

"Do you want to take care of her for me?" ask Rey about Dino.

"definitely. I'll take care of him for you."

"Susan darling, may I call you dear?"

Rey stroked Susan's hair gently.

"Actually I don't want to leave you like this, I want when you open your eyes the first person you see is me. But Elina needs me too, I've been leaving her since yesterday. Honey, I promise I'll see you soon after I see our daughter. I love you, you have to promise to wake up."

Rey kissed Susan's hand and then kissed her head.

With a very heavy heart Rey must let go of Dino who accompanied him in the hospital.

When she returned home, Elina fell asleep in her room.

Rey looked at her daughter's innocent face and kissed her softly and long.

"Darling, papa promised to bring your mama back."

Rey kissed her daughter's face again and left her.

Rey sat on the edge of the bed, taking a picture frame on the bed table.

"Darling, are you going to take Susan with you too? won't you let me be with him? honey, I miss and love you so much but I love that woman too. Can I be with him? can you bless us? I promise, even if I'm with her but trust me I'll still love and miss you dear."

Rey hugged Susi's photo tightly.

There was pain in the man's heart.

A great fear of loss.
