My Switched Wife (MINE Series #3)

Switched Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Grandchild

I remained silent until we went back inside the restaurant. I don't know what to say! Alam kong hindi lang si Vince ang may gusto sa akin dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na gusto ko rin siya. But I can't admit it or should I say that I shouldn't admit it.

Lalo na kanina nang makita ko si Alleira. Her eyes are throwing daggers at me and I have a hunch about it but my mind just can't accept it. Siya ang may ayaw sa kasal na ito noong umpisa palang pero bakit siya nandito? And why is she glaring at me earlier?

Sa pagkakaalala ko ay wala naman akong ginawang masama o bagay na ikinagalit niya! Then why?

Napalingon ako kay Vince nang maramdaman ang braso niyang pumulupot sa beywang ko.

My lips parted to say something but in the end, I only cleared my throat and started eating again.

"Conratulations again, newlyweds!" Ang Mama ni Vince nang palabas na kami ng Restaurant.

I smiled a bit when my eyes meets Mrs. Callahan's. She kissed me on my cheeks and I did the same.

"Thank you, Tita---Mama." I chuckled awkwardly.

Umangat ang tingin ko kay Vince nang maramdaman ang paghigpit ng hawak niya sa beywang ko. His grinning widely like he heard something good!

"What's with that grin?" I whispered while my eyes narrowed because of curiousity.

Natawa siya at nagulat ako nang bahagya niyang kinurot ang ilong ko. The hell?

"Mama." He mocked me!

Sinamaan ko agad siya ng tingin dahil sa pang-aasar pero agad na nagbago ang ekspresyon ko nang mahagip ng tingin ko si Mommy na papalapit sa amin. I consciously looked around the surroundings to look for my sister because she might be hiding somewhere here.

"Vince, can I borrow my daughter for a minute?" Si Mommy.

Vince throw a curious look at me first before nodding at my Mom. Iniwan niya muna kami ni Mommy dito at tumabi muna sa parents niya.

"Alleira." My Mom said, sternly.

"What is it, Mom?" I faked a smile. "I didn't do anything wrong so I guess I won't be receiving bad rants right now, right?"

Mariin ang titig ni Mommy sa akin bago humakbang papalapit at bumulong.

"I don't like your attitude earlier!" May diin ngunit mahinang ika ni Mommy. "Para kang napilitan lang na kumain kasama kami at nasa iba ang isip!"

"Well, you get it right. Napipilitan lang naman talaga ako kani---"

"Then change that attitude of yours! Ipakita mo na mahal mo ang asawa mo! This is for our wealth, Alleira! Tandaan mo 'yun!" My Mom's glare at me immediately vanished when Mrs. Callahan went to us.

Agad na ngumiti ng pagkatamis-tamis si Mommy kay Mrs. Callahan at bahagya pa akong siniko para ngumiti rin. In the end, I exhaled deeply and smiled a bit.

"Magtatagal pa ba kayo dito ng anak ko, hija?"

Natigilan muna ako dahil sa tanong ni Mrs. Callahan at sumulyap kay Vince. He's talking to his father while laughing slightly. Ibinalik ko kaagad ang tingin sa kausap.

"Uhm, hindi po Tita---I-I mean M-Mama." I cleared my throat. "I guess, uuwi na rin po kami bukas."

"Oh? Ganun ba? You won't stay here for your honeymoon?" She asked.

Ngumuso ako at sumulyap ulit kay Vince. This time, he's already looking at me! Bahagya pang nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa gulat bago nakapag-iwas ng tingin.
