"Is there something wrong?"- I gently asked her while driving.
Nakatakas din ako sa awkward moment kanina sa restaurant. Kaya lang kapalit naman niyon ay ang pagiging tahimik ng asawa ko magmula ng matapos ang dinner at lumabas kami ay hindi nya ako kinakausap.
"Addison?"
No response. I sighed and decided to pull the car off the road. I unclasp my seat belt and turn my body to her side.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
She blinks her eyes and slowly turns her head toward me. Her brows furrowed when she realized that we were no longer moving.
"Anong problema? Your silence is killing me."- frustrated na sabi ko.
"I was just thinking something."
I lean my forearm on the steering wheel and tilt my head.
"Care to share?"
She pursed her lips and crossed her arms, and I couldn't help but be nervous.
"I didn't know you liked girls who sing. And about Dahlia, you haven't mentioned her to me before; is she really an old friend of yours?"
Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko dahil mas lumakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko. Mukha naman syang kalmado pero alam ko na isang maling salita lang ay magbabago ang mood nito.
"Am I missing something?"- she asked again.
"Look I..."
"What?"
"I'm sorry."
Nag iwas ako ng tingin at muling sumandal sa back rest. Tinuon ko ang mga mata ko sa harap ng kotse at pinakalma ang nagwawala kong sistema. Hinaplos ko din sa hita ko ang mga kamay kong nagsisimula ng mamasa dahil sa kaba.
"Why are you saying sorry?"
"I didn't know that the same person I slept with and your interior designer are the same.."
Napalingon ako sa kanya dahil talagang binalot kami ng katahimikan matapos kong isatinig ang nasa isip ko. Tanging mga tunog lamang ng dumadaan sasakyan ang maririnig at ang malakas na tibok ng puso ko.
Her soft expression slowly turned into confusion, and later on, her stares became hard and cold.
"What did you say?"- Her voice was dangerously low.
"It was Dahlia. When you called me before and you heard me fxcking someone——"
"S-Stop. Oh my gosh."- she mumbled and turned away.
I closed my fists and was about to hold her, but I chose to just put my hands back on the steering wheel.
"I'm sorry, Addi, but you deserve to know. I don't want to hide anything from you."
She let out an exhausting sigh and massaged her temple.
"Drive. I want to go home now."
Tinignan ko pa sya ng matagal pero sumandal lang sya sa upuan nya at pumikit. Tiim bagang nalang na binuhay ko ulit ang kotse at nagmaneho na ako ulit pauwi ng condo nya.
Pagkapark ko ng kotse ay nauna na syang lumabas kaya naman nagmadali ako para mahabol ko sya sa elevator at mabuti nalang umabot ako bago pa iyon magsarado.
Damn. She's mad.
Hinayaan ko nalang ang katahimikan hanggang sa umabot kami ng unit nya. Pinagmasdan ko syang tanggalin yung coat sa balikat nya at isampay iyon sa arm rest ng couch. Nilapag din nya ang pouch nya at nagtungo sa kusina, nilampasan ako na parang isang hangin lang ako.
