The Insensitive Husband (COMPLETE)

[5] Hold Me

"Kumusta na ang asawa mo?"

Emmy rolled her eyes nang marinig niya ang tanong ng kanyang ina.

"Mommy, kailangan mo ba talagang itanong 'yan? Dylan is the most boring and cowardly person I have ever met. He's done nothing but follow whatever his mother says." Emmy is tired of hearing herself telling what kind of person Dylan is. Nasusuka na siya.

Napatawa si Thelma sa sinabi ng anak.

"Really? I thought he's the smartest one."

"Hindi rin ako sigurado diyan. If you're smart then why become your mom's dog?"

Ngumiti si Thelma and then her expression became serious.

"Dapat nating maging listo pagdating kay Dylan. Alam kong mahihirapan ka sa kanya. Just be patient with him. What we want is for him to trust you. We need to cut the bond between him and his mother."

Napailing si Emmy. Parang mahihirapan siya sa sinasabi ng mommy niya. Paano siya mapagkakatiwalaan ni Dylan gayung inaaway na niya ito?

Kasalanan ko ba if I can't stand him?

"I just want you to know, Mom, na it would be very hard to make him trust me."

"Bakit?"

"I can't stand him. Naiinis ako sa kanya. Pinapakulo niya ang dugo ko." She can still remember the last time she went home late which led to them arguing.

"Gamitin mo ang kagandahan mo. Seduce him."

Nahulog ang panga ni Emmy sa narinig.

"Eww! I can't even look at him for a long time, seduce him pa kaya." Tumindig ang mga balahibo ni Emmy habang iniisip ang sinasabi ng ina.

"Emilia, makinig ka sa akin. All men want to be seduced. They pray for it. They long for it. It would've been easier if you married Adam, Brennan or Christopher but still you can seduce Dylan."

"Hindi ako makapaniwala sa mga sinasabi mo, Mom. This is so awkward." Hindi maipinta ang hitsura ni Emmy nang marinig ang sinabi ng mommy niya.

"I know this is awkward pero kailangan mong makinig. Ang matatalinong lalaki tulad ni Dylan fall in love with their brain. Most guys fall in love with their...you know...with their penis."

"Mom! Nakakadiri ka. Iba na lang ang pag-usapan natin please?" Natatawang sabi ni Emmy.

"Shush! Makinig ka. Guys like Dylan are not really into looks. He's intelligent, he's proud of his brain. Hindi siya maghahabol sa babaeng maganda pero walang laman ang utak. Smart guys love to brag about what they know and they need a woman who can do the same. In other words, he's looking for chemistry."

Emmy groaned in dismay. Chemistry pa lang talo na siya. She doesn't have anything in common with Dylan.

"Palagi kaming nagtatalo. Chemistry na ba 'yun?"

Hindi pinakinggan ni Thelma ang sinabi ng anak.

"I bet his ex-girlfriends are also nerds. Or smart girls."

"Paano ko malalaman?" Reklamo ni Emmy.

"Pero katulad ng ibang lalaki, smart guys won't say no to a beautiful girl."

"Mom, are you even listening? Hindi nga kami magkasundo, eh!"

"Actually, magiging mas madali ito para sa'yo. Maganda ka at matalino. In his world, you're a unicorn. It will be impossible for Dylan to say no to you."
