Romance With My Husband (Completed)

30

Chapter 30: Wife

His POV

"Babe, park mo nalang diyan." Turo ni Klare sa isang bakanteng lugar.

She looks so excited and happy. She's on her dress and had also put on her makeup.

I told her not to put already, but she insisted. Sabi niya ay kailangan pa raw n'on. I don't understand girls.

Ako ang naunang bumaba ng sasakyan, and opened the car door for Klare. She kissed me on the cheeks after she went out.

"Thanks babe." She says. I don't know but whenever she uses that endearment ay parang may mali, it sends tingles throughout my entire system.

She walked first. I stopped. I looked the tall gatedoors carefully, it was a magnificent design. May naramdaman akong pagkirot ng ulo ko, napayuko ako nang kaunti.. maybe it's because it's too hot today.

Sumunod na ako kay Klare at nakita ko kaagad ang malawak ang napagandang bakuran. Mayroon ding playground para sa mga bata. My eyes twinkled, and excitement jolted me up upon seeing the two kids.

I waved at them, and smiled. Nakita nila ako at lumapit sila sa akin. They both ran towards me, naguunahan pa sila. I just laughed it out.

"Hey, big bros. How have you been?" I asked them.

"We're good, Dad!" Sagot ni Ark.

Dad. Parang may kung anong mainit na humaplos sa dibdib ko. Ang sarap pakinggan ng salitang iyon.

But despite that, Klare always tells me not to believe. Sabi niya ay wala akong anak sa iba, o kahit sa kaniya. Wala pa raw akong anak.

Tuwing pinagsasabihan niya ako ay napapakunot ang aking noo. And the same with Ayuna.. Klare always reminds me that she is my first love and everything. But damn, parang hindi ako kumbinsido.

"Punta tayo doon, Dad!" Masayang sabi ni Nathan. Hinawakan nila ang kamay ko at hinila sa playground.

Maraming bata. Maraming bisita rito ngayon. Habang naglalaro ang mga bata, ay napaupo muna ako sa isang bench sa may gilid.

While on my own thoughts, nabaling ang aking atensyon kay Ayuna. She's keeping the visitors' company.

She's in her chiffon knee-length dress, that looked good on her. She looks so pretty, kahit na nakalugay lang ito at hindi gaanong makapal ang kaniyang makeup unlike what Klare did to her face.

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kaniyang labi, kahit na hindi ako ganoon kalapit sa kaniya ay parang may kung anong pakiramdam ang sumalakay sa akin. Everytime I look at her lips, makes me want to damn kiss her passionately.

I shooked away the thoughts. Deter. Deter is my name, and I am engaged to Klare. I shouldn't be thinking about other woman. I shouldn't be having any affairs.

"Eat up." Sambit ni Klare sa akin. Everyone is seated at masayang nagku-kuwentuhan.

Hindi ako umiimik at tanging pagkain lang ang aking ginagawa.

Masaya ang salu-salo, hanggang sa mapadpad ang usapan nila sa kung sino ang nagdesign ng bahay. "So, where is your husband?" Tanong ng isa sa mga parents.

Napalingon ako kay Ayuna na hindi kaagad nakasagot. Then diverted my attention to Klare.

"My husband?" Rinig kong usal pa ni Ayuna. Why is everyone in the table so quiet?

"Yes, Mrs. Hidalgo. Where is your husband?" Another parent went curious and asking. Medyo nakayuko si Klare, at napansin ko ang paglingon ni Ayuna sa kaniya.

"He's my husband." Turo ni Ayuna sa akin, na labis kong ikinagulat maging si Klare. My breath was taken, and Klare's eyes were wide open, not believing what just happened.

Ayuna excused herself, and told the visitors to continue eating. Tumayo siya at hindi nagtagal ay sumunod si Klare.

Nagpatuloy sa pagkain ang mga bisita na tila ba ay walang kahit anong nangyari. Hindi ako makapaniwal sa nangyari. Sobra akong naapektuhan at hindi ko alam kung bakit.

I stood up from my seat. And walked-run to the nearest comfort room on the place. Mayroong comfort room akong nakita sa pinaka-gilid ng bakuran, ang lawak pala talaga ng lugar na ito.

Pumasok agad ako sa loob, at hinarap ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. My head is starting to ache again. Kinapa ko ang aking bulsa ngunit nakalimutan kong nasa kotse pala ang gamot ko. Ang gamot na ipinapainom ni Klare sa akin, mabisa raw ito para mabilis akong makaalala.

Saglit akong napatigil sa pagkataranta, at napatitig sa sarili ko sa salamin. I stared at myself, reminscing what happened.

My head throbbed abruptly, at napasabunot ako sa aking buhok.

"Sed, come on!" Masiglang tawag ng babae sa isang pangalan.

"Shit!" I cursed, I can somewhat hear voices in my head.

"Nate Sedric, male-late na tayo!" Ungot pa niya. Slowly, the visions became clear and it was Ayuna.

Mariin kong ipinikit ang aking mga mata. Memories flooded me, at parang unti-unti ay nabubuo ang pagkatao ko.

I opened my eyes twitching and inayos ko ang aking balanse. I looked myself upon the mirror. May kaunti pa ring kirot sa aking ulo ngunit wala na akong pakialam doon.

"Nate Sedric Hidalgo." I muttered my name. My name is it, and never Deter. I never fell in love with Klare, but only with Ayuna.

I am a married man already. And my family's Ayuna and our kids, not Klare. My eyes furrowed from anger. She fooled me. She fucking fooled me!

I was deep on my own thinking, nang marinig ko ang pagkakagulo hindi kalayuan dito. Kaagad akong lumabas at nagtungo kung saan ito.

Papasok iyon ng bahay, ng bahay na dinisenyo ko para sa pamilya ko. Sa kusina nanggaling ang mga ingay. Nagkukumpulan ang mga tao, agad akong nakisiksik.

My eyes widened, she was there. She was there lying on the ground with the pool on blood around her. She had bitten the dust. She looks so lifeless.

Lumuhod ako sa harap niya. Tinapik ko ang kaniyang pisngi at sinusubukang panatilihin siyang gising.

"Ayuna! Ayuna, please.." bulong ko sakaniya matapos ko siyang hagkan. Hinang-hina na siya, I don't fucking know what to do!

Agaran akong napalingon kay Klare na matigas na nakatayo sa tabi ng kitchen counter. I stood up, and furiously choked her neck.

"You dirty woman! How could you do this! You don't deserve to live!" I yelled at her face. And choked her harder. Sa sobrang galit ko ay nakalimutam ko nang babae siya.

Halos mawalan siya ng hininga. Just seeing her face makes me want to vomit.

"D-Deter, n-nasasaktan a-ako.." nahihirapang pagsubok niyang magsalita.

Mas lalong umigting ang galit ko. Nagawa niya pang magsinungaling, hindi ba niya nakikita.. isn't it fucking obvious for her?!

"Don't fucking call me that! You are disgusting!" I yelled at her once again. But I got spared from her when the cops arrived and ruggedly hold us.

Hinihingal ako habang tinitignan si Ayuna na pinagtutulungang ilagay sa isang stretcher. I couldn't bear to see my wife suffer like that, I could tear up with no care.

If only, If only I remembered everything. If only I recalled everything earlier then I should've taken her away from this danger, because I can't see any future without my wife if anything happens to her.
