Alpha Rowan (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 22

HINDI akalain ni Nez na makikita niya si Tommy sa Shadow Town. Hindi niya ito inaasahan. Wala pa ring nagbago kay Tommy maliban sa parang may kakaiba rito. Pinakiramdaman ni Nez ang kaniyang sarili, wala siyang maramdaman na sakit o anu pa man. Normal lang. She smiled to herself. Naka-move on na siya.

"Nez, hindi ko inaasahan na makikita kita rito." Sabi ni Tommy saka ito naglakad palapit kay Nez.

Somehow, Nez felt uneasy kaya medyo umatras siya.

"Tommy, anong ginagawa mo rito?" tanong ni Nez.

Umiling si Tommy. "I'm just looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Nagtaka si Nez. "What do you mean?"

Tommy smiled. "Hinanap kita pero hindi ko akalain na dito kita makikita. Nez, please come back," hahawakan sana ni Tommy ang kamay ni Nez pero may pumalibot na braso sa beywang ni Nez saka siya hinila paatras.

Napatingin agad si Nez kay Rowan. Natigilan siya nang makita ang seryosong anyo nito. "Ro..."

Rowan glanced at Nez. Nginitian niya ang asawa. "I'm here."

Tumango si Nez.

Nagulat si Tommy nang makita ang lalaki. "You..." Hindi niya ito kilala pero pakiramdam niya may nakikita siyang aura rito. Aura na tanging ang mga hindi pangkaraniwang nilalang lamang ang mayroon. Huwag mong sabihin na...

"What are you doing here, Mr. Viernes?" Malamig na tanong ni Rowan. "This is my territory." Rowan growled but he covered it by clearing his throat.

I was right about him. Tommy thought. He looked at Nez. "Nez, come back."

Umiling si Nez. "Sorry but I don't want to go back. Wala na akong babalikan doon, Tommy. About us, tapos na 'yon. I thought at first, I couldn't move on but after seeing you today," she smiled, "I already move on. What you and Neraiza did, I already forget about it. So, take this as our closure. May our path will never cross again."

"Nez –"

Mabilis na humarang si Rowan sa harapan ni Nez. "You heard her."

Kumuyom ang kamay ni Tommy. "It's you."

"What?" Rowan asked.

"Nez and I supposed to be together. It's you! It's you!"

Kumunot ang nuo ni Rowan. "Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sinasabi mo."

Bago pa man makapagsalita si Tommy, pumaharap si Nez. "Tommy, please don't just point Rowan. He's a human and not a thing."

"He's not a human, Nez. He's a monster!"

Ngumiti lang si Nez saka ipinakita ang wedding ring. "Tommy, Rowan and I were married. He's not a monster. He's my husband so please, don't say that."

"You what?" Gulat na saad ni Tommy.

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi ni Rowan habang nakatingin kay Tommy. Nang-aasar niya itong nginitian. Obviously, Tommy was trick before by Rowan but that was another story. But actually, that wasn't a trick, Tommy really hurts Nez and Nez doesn't deserve a man like Tommy.

"Nez, about me and Neraiza, it was all plan. Someone planned to destroy us." Tommy said. Hoping that Nez would listen to him but Nez just smiled and looked at Rowan.

"Let's go."

Ngumiti si Rowan saka inakbayan ang asawa. Hinalikan niya ito sa nuo sa harapan mismo ni Tommy. "Let's go."

Bahagya namang natigilan si Nez sa paghalik ni Rowan sa kaniyang nuo.

The couple left Tommy.

Napakuyom naman ng kamao si Tommy. Hindi siya makapaniwala na kasal na si Nez. At mukhang hindi na rin siya nito mahal. They looked in love. Tommy couldn't accept the fact that Nez was married to that man.
