All Chapters of A Touch on my Heart: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

UnsafeI watched how the sun rises in the morning. For the long time in my life, I felt the peace, love and happiness I have been longing for. I don't know where to find it, I tried to find it to my parents but I never found it, I tried to look if it was in a man but it gave me something I didn't expect.But I have realized, I couldn't find it because the person who can and will give me those feelings were not yet born. The person who gave me those feelings is my daughter. I glanced at Snow who is playing on the greengrass with my husband. A smile appeared on my face when I saw Snow pinched the cheeks of Jerkson. Inihakbang ko na ang aking mga paa nang makita iyon dahil alam ko kung bakit iyon ginawa ng anak ko. She likes doing it especially when she misses me. Binuhat siya ni Jerkson at lumingon sa akin. I saw how shock crossed Snow's eyes when she saw me. Nilapitan ko kaagad sila at agad kong kinuha si Snow na sumama naman agad sa akin.She immediately placed her face on my neck w

Missing"You need to go back to the Philippines." Iyan ang bumungad sa akin kinabukasan.Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Jerkson. "Go back to the Philippines? Why?" I still looked sleepy but his statement woke up my spirit. Sinusuot niya ang kanyang itim na pantalon habang nakaharap sa akin. Nakatingin siya nang seryoso at sa paraan nito ay parang sinasabi nitong kailangan kong gawin ang sinabi niya...sa lalong madaling panahon.His lips are in thin line. Huminga siya nang malalim bago lumapit sa akin. "You and Snow will be more safe there." He massages my forehead, trying ro remove the wrinkle on it, but I refuse to. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit niya kami pinapabalik sa Pilipinas at...mas ligtas kami roon? May nangyari ba o mangyayari para hindi kami maging ligtas dito?"We're safe here, Jerkson."Tumayo siya nang maayos. "You don't understand me--""Then make me understand it!" Hindi ko na napigilan ang mapasigaw dahil sa iritasyon na namumutawi sa aking loob. "You cannot j

UselessI am in his car right now while he's driving to our house. Iniwan ko ang itim kong kotse sa kanila ngunit ipapadala niya raw ito pagkatapos. Sinabi ko na sa kanyang hindi naman na kailangang pumunta pa siya roon dahil hindi naman iyon makakatulong sa paghahanap sa anak namin ngunit hindi siya nagpatinag. I don't know what he's up to but if this will help to find our daughter faster, then I am willing to sacrifice everything.Kanina pa ako tingin nang tingin sa aking telepono habang hinihintay ang mensahe ni Jerkson. I informed him already about Jake's arrival to our house but he's not yet responding to my message. "Why did you just tell me that now?" Napalingon ako sa kanya nang magsalit siya.Nakakunot ang kanyang noo habang deretsong nakatingin sa harapan. I can see from the veins in his arms, that he's mad right now and just controlling his emotions to show up. Pero wala siyang karapatang magalit. All of the people, he should be the first one to know on why someone would h

Relieved"Everything is secured. The suspect is already caught and will soon be punished by the Organizaçion." Jerkson then ended the call.Nandito kami ngayon sa loob ng Voltzki House para mapag-usapan ang nangyari at kung anong hakbang ang susunod naming isasagawa. My daughter is already resting on one of the exclusive rooms here in the Voltzki House. Jake initiated it when he saw that Snow is already tired and sleepy.Hindi pa namin napapatingin sa specialista si Snow tungkol sa kalagayan niya ngunit plano namin itong gawin bukas. Right now, I want my daughter to take a rest. I couldn't imagine everything she went through, the suspect has to pay all the damage, pain, and the possible trauma that he has caused to my daughter.Pansin ko ang pamumula at pagtatangis ng bagang ni Jake ng makita ang maliliit na galos at mga pasa sa katawan niya. Naiintindihan ko ang galit na kanyang nararamdaman at alam ko rin na pinipigilan niya lamang ang kanyang sariling kumilos. "What will be our pl

Promise"You're joking," This is his only possible reason on why he said those things to me. He must be just joking around huh? Dahil hindi pwede. I remember the times he had pushed me away from them. I remember the times when he always let me feel unloved and unvalued. I remeber every single hurtful thing and word he had done and said to me.At ngayon...sasabihin niyang mahal niya ako? Na mahal niya pa rin ako? Sino'ng niloloko niya? Walang sino man ang kayang manakit ng taong minamahal nila. Kaya hindi ko maintindihan si Jake kung bakit niya sinasabi ang mga ito ngayon sa akin."I'm telling the truth, Ash--""Y-You hurt me a million times back then," I looked straightly on his eyes. I can see remorse in his eyes but it won't turn back the time. "I-Is that the way you love?""I had to do that to protect you and your family!""No! You had to it for Allison and for yourself!" Pareho kaming hinihingal dahil doon. I took a look at my daughter on the bed and she's still sleeping. Ibinal
