The Secret Coven Book 1: The Unbearable Fact

Chapter 9-10

Chapter 9

They arrived at her house after a couple of minutes. She saw Blue's car parked in front of her gate, doon pala ito pumunta bago nagtungo sa opisina nila. Tumuluy-tuloy na ito papasok patungo sa refrigerator niya at inilagay doon ang ilang botelya na dala-dala nila while she opened her cupboard to get the ingredients she needed for her food kasama na roon ang pambaon niya bukas ng umaga.

She started cooking habang ito naman ay umakyat sa kuwarto niya para maligo umano. Naghain na siya when she finished and waited for Blue to come out. Hindi siya palanood ng telebisyon kaya naman hinayaan nalang niya na nakapatay iyon. Napakatahimik tuloy ng bahay niya.

When Blue came out of her bedroom ay may hawak itong kuwadro habang pababa ng hagdanan.

"Dinala mo pala ito noong lumipat ka, I thought you threw it away."

Tumango siya bago sumubo. Gutom na siya kaya naman hindi na niya ito niyaya.

"Can I display it here on your living room?" tanong nito.

She stood up and walked towards him. Tinignan niya ang kanyang living room at tumitig sa pader sa ibabaw ng kanyang electronic fireplace. When she pointed at the space ay tumango lang si Blue at lumabas ito. Pagbalik nito ay hawak nito ang isang battery operated screw gun. Siya naman ay tinapos na ang pagkain. Pagbalik niya sa living room ay naka-mount na ang wedding photo nila. It is really good to have a guy in the house. Bumalik siya para hugasan ang pinagkainan niya at nang matapos ay nagtimpla siya ng tsaa. She walked towards her bookshelf and took one of her favourite romance books and started reading. Nasa chapter three na siya nang biglang mawala sa kamay niya ang libro, inagaw na kasi iyon ni Blue.

"Hey!" aniya.

"Hey yourself!" sagot naman nito. He sat beside her and drank some of her tea. It was the first time for them to share a drink together kahit na ba sumimsim lang ito. "I didn't visit you para panoorin kang magbasa, akala ko ba mag-uusap tayo?"

"Ay oo nga pala," sabi niya. She immediately placed the book on the center table and looked at Blue. "What are we going to talk about?" tanong niya dito. Ayaw niyang umpisahan ang pagtatanong. This time she wanted him to open up.

"You want me to tell you why I left three years ago?" alanganing tanong nito.

"It's up to you if you're going to tell me. It might not matter anymore dahil bumalik ka and you knew that I was your life mate."

"I actually went back to Canada after two months of leaving you. Tinapos ko lang ang conference ko sa Alaska and didn't bother to call you back nang sabihin ng sekretarya ko na tumawag ka raw. It took me two months to go back to my mother's country dahil nagdadalawang isip ako kung babalikan ba kita o hindi. In the end I just took the risk and headed to Canada, I tried to tell my mind that there's no point in returning to our home. I checked on my Coven dahil isa sa mga kapatid ko ang naka-station doon on my behalf. I stayed there for eighteen months while training some of my people the art of sword fighting and some other things."

"Hmmm..."

"What else, I went back here pero dumadalaw dalaw pa rin ako sa penthouse. I was always waiting for you to fall asleep before materializing myself. Naging past time ko na ang panoorin kang matulog and I did it for over a year. I even hear you say my name on your sleep. There was this night na madami akong ginawang trabaho sa opisina kaya hindi kita nadalaw and when I was able to wala ka na sa bahay. It was only days ago when I tried visiting your parents hoping na naroon ka rin, but when I heard that you went to Midnight Club ay nagbakasakali akong makita kita roon and I did."
