HEARTLESS LOVE

(32)

"bye mommy, bye irene." i kiss them both and ella also did that.

"mamimiss ko kayo lalo na tong si ella, ibalik mo rin siya saamin imee ha" mama meldy said.

"ma ella is my daughter not yours" i joked.

"i know. i just love this kid because she's giving me a little irene and aimee version" i rolled my eyes.

"tama na mommy mag seselos nanaman yang si manang" singit ni irene before they both laugh.

"nevermind. we need to go mommy" once again we kiss them before we about to leave when i heard daddy's voice called me.

"imee anak" i frooze for a moment and take a deep sighed before i look at him.

"i'm sorry" he said.

"tsaka na dad pag alam mo nang harapin ang katotohanan" i simply chortled and continue walking away from them.

once we sat comfortably, rod immediately came out from the back seat and sit beside me.

he's sitting in my right side because ella is sitting in my left side.

"success" he exclaimed, yeah. we hide everything. ofcourse they don't have to know about rod.

"you silly okay ka lang ba" i asked because he's sweating, nahirapan ata sa pagtatago.

"i'm okay" he gave me a smile.

"how about you ella are you okay? mukhang malungkot ka ata" i asked and look at her.

"naalala ko lang po si nanay sa probinsiya, matagal tagal na rin po kase akong walang balita sakanila" she said.

"ha? bakit? eh diba may contact ka naman sakanila" tanong ko.

"nawala po nay simula tinapon niyo po yung bag ko. andun po kase yung telepono ko" then a sad expression written on her face, i'm sorry...

"uhm. papalitan ko nalang" i said then she looked at me.

"hindi na po kailangan nay malapit naman na po ang bakasyon ko" i chuckle for a moment.

oo nga pala umaalis si ella tuwing buwan ng december, isang buwan nalang aalis na siya.

"nay okay ka lang po" i bring back on my thoughts when he snap Infront of me.

i nood.

"yes." i said, then smile.

"nga pala ella. hindi ko pa nakikita ang mga magulang mo" i said.

she smile, her family is literally her weakness.

"nako nay maganda po ang nanay ko sa probinsyano medyo hawig nga po siya ni mama bear eh" she said.

"really?" i asked, she nood.

"ella papayag ka ba kapag inampo--ahh nevermind" i said then looked away.

hindi pwede ang gusto ko, may nanay siya. may pamilya siya kaya hindi ko siya pwedeng angkinin.

"nay magpahinga ka po kaya muna tignan niyo po si tatay oh natutulog na" i looked at rod who's now peacefully sleeping in my side while her head is on my shoulder.

i grab the blanket and put that on him.

"i get my sleep enough so your the one who need to sleep" i said then put her head on my shoulder.

after a minutes of ride we immediately take off our things in our house and change that to the things we will gonna use for our vacation trip to rod province.

"are you done baby" he asked, i nood before he about to carry my luggage when i stop him for a moment..

"rod i wanna talk to you for a moment" i said then i walk towards on our veranda without even taking a glimpse of him again.

after a minute i heard his foot stepped in my back before he wrapped his hands on my waist.

"what is it baby" he asked.

"after the one week trip to your province will gonna be your celebration for your 16yrs wedding anniversary with her right?" i asked. i heard his sighed.

"alam ko kung san nanaman to papunta" he said then unwrapped his arms on me.

"rod please. i want us to settle everything after the vacation" i said.

"then what do you want me to do imee" he asked.

"leave me after the trip"

"what!" he face me.

"once we got home from your province we will end everything" i clearly said while looking at him.

he scratched his hair.

"imee! what are you saying. walang matatapos, that will never gonna happen" he said.

"that will possible to happen rod and i will make that happen once we got home here" i said.

"that can't be happen imee. how about us!" he stated and there's a tears building on his eyelids, I don't think that is tears, he wouldn't cry just for me. hello! i'm just his FUBU!

"there's no us rod! aren't you happy matatapos na ang mga pango-ngonsensiya natin sa isat isa?" he hugged me

"imee come on" he said, i slightly pushed him.

"my heart is heartless rod but still, i'm done for hurting others. specially your wife. she doesn't do anything for me but look at me, hurting her without even knowing. she don't deserve this" i said, with my eyes glue to him.

"imee listen. don't think about that. just think about us. how about ella? this house? we fucking build this together!" he yelled and punched the wall beside him, but i didn't flinched nor blink. i'm just watching him.

but my inside me, crying. rod is my saviour but yet...we still in the opposite of the world.

hindi namin pwedeng itama ang mga mali ng dahil lang nasa mali kami.

"you thinking ella while you even thinking about your wife! are you insane rod." i yelled.

he put his palm on his face and deep sighed.

"you can't understand me imee" he said.

"then let me to understand you. let me know the truth if you truly care about this freaking house or memories that we build together" i said.

"but why would i expect rod! i'm just your fucking buddy, nothing less nothing more. are you forgotten the rules? we can quit everytime we want to" I reprimanded him.

"but not this time imee"

"that's why i'm just giving you one week rod and after that we will end everything we'll forget each other because that's one of the rules of our deal before we start this situation." i said, he frowned.

"this can't be imee" he said.

"everything can be rod and don't worry about Ella she's safe with me, i just want you to know this because after we got home. we will end everything as much as possible"

"what if i don't want to" he said.

"even you like it or not rod. we will end this shit, END" i emphasize the word END before i left Infront of him and get my luggage to take that downstairs.
