Chapter 24

R18+

MALAKAS na napabuntung-hininga si Agape habang marahang inaayos ang loob ng maleta. Hindi na niya mabilang kung ilang beses na siyang napatigil sa ginagawa dahil sa marami niyang iniisip. She can't help but to sigh everytime she will think that he will be gone for a week.. or maybe more than that.

"Stop sighing, wife. It would be more hard for me to leave you, " he caressed her hair. Isinarado niya ang maleta at ibinaba sa gilid ng kama nila. Before, she always dreamed of fixing his things everytime he will go out of the country for business. It was fulfilling her. The thought of assisting him with everything makes her feel more... important. Ngayon lang niya narealize na hindi pala masaya. It was just so frustrating.

"Do you want to come with me?" His offer was tempting. Pero hindi.. hindi puwede. Ipinangako niya sa sarili niya na gagawin niya ang tungkulin niya. Not only as his wife, but as his secretary.

The man trust her with the position. Ayaw niya ring masabihan na dahil sa kinasal na siya sa boss niya, magiging pabaya na siya sa trabaho. It would be hassle if employees will circulate rumors like that.

"I can let Clare handle it for a meantime.. or Dad, " he still insisted.

She shook her head immediately. "Hindi na, hindi lang talaga siguro ako sanay. I also need to get used with this, right?" pagtanggi niya.

She knows that Clare can't. Busy ang kaibigan sa career nito bilang doctor. And Dad disliked the idea of handling business. At nagpaalam rin itong pupunta sa Santorini. Baka magtagal doon.

"I'm sorry.. " he murmured. Napangiti siya ng tipid at isinandal ang mukha sa dibdib ng lalaki. She always like this. Everytime she's hearing his heartbeat.

Now she can hear his heart's loud beating.

"I'll pretend I didn't heard it, " she chuckled. The guy stared at her, confused.

"What?"

"It's nothing, " she said. Umalis siya sa pagkakasandal sa dibdib ng lalaki at tinaas ang bahagyang lumaylay na strap ng night dress niya. Umusog siya ng kaunti at inayos ang mga unan. Ngunit mataman pa ring nakatingin ang lalaki sa kan'ya.

"What?" She snapped. "Let's sleep. You have a flight tomorrow. "

Tumayo siya para pumunta sa kabilang-gilid ng kama. Humiga siya sa kama at sinenyasan ang lalaking humiga na rin.

"Hindi ka pa ba matutulog? Maaga ka pa bukas, Gray, " she said and slowly lift herself to sit. She leaned to the bed's headboard while looking at her husband. Nakaupo na siya ngayon habang may kumot sa hita niya.

"Gray.. " she called him.

"Alright, let's sleep, " pagpayag niya kaya't napangiti naman siya.

Akmang aalis na siya sa pagkakasandal sa headboard nang bigla siya nitong hinalikan. Mabilis lang 'yun at agad naman itong bumitaw.

Wow, Agape, disappointed?

"I will miss you.. " he whispered after that light kiss. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin dahil ramdam niya na tutulo ang luha niya ano mang oras. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit sobra siyang emosyonal. Wala pa namang ilang buwan mula nang magkakilala sila. But look at her, crying her heart out.

"Hey baby, look at me.. " he gently held her face. "It's okay, babalik naman ako. Can I leave you here alone for a long time? Bibilisan ko sa States. I promise to comeback to you after a week, " he wiped her tears.

"Matagal pa rin 'yung one week, " parang bata niyang sabi.

He sighed. "I'll call you everyday. We can also try face time. Dito muna si Red at Clare para may kasama ka. "
