EX Wife (EXCLUSIVE in GOODNOVEL)

Three

Exelle

"You. I want you back, former Mrs. Alvez."

Napaupo ako sa kama ko habang hinahabol nang paghinga. My right hand were on my chest trying to calm myself down. What was that? Bakit ako nanaginip ng ganun klaseng panaginip? That was insane. That's totally insane to really happen.

Nabaling ang atensyon ko nang biglang tumunog ang aking cellphone na nakalagay sa ibabaw ng nightstand, sa tabi ng aking kama. Kung kaya't inabot ko ito at tiningnan ang screen upang malaman kung sino ang tumatawag.

Anonymous Calling.

"Sino naman toh?" I ask myself.

If it's someone who's anonymous enough to call me, early this morning, then saan niya naman nakuha ang aking contact number? I thought about it and found it suspicious. I look by the side of the room and watch the sunlight at the spaces between the curtains, peeking curiously inside the room. It's morning, I know.

I didn't answer the phone and ignore it. I just changed my habit of answering unknown calls like before, kaya't hindi ko ito sinagot. Binalik ko ito sa nightstand na nasa gilid ng kama ko and jump off from the bed and strecth a little. I ran inside the bathroom and start my daily routine.

Thirty minutes of taking a bath, I walk out and check my phone. I almost dropped my jaw when I saw the notification that pop out of the screen.

10 missed calls
0 Message

Seriously? Sino ba toh? I checked the caller's ID and noticed that it came from the same caller earlier. I frowned a little and thought that it's kind of weird to call me this much if it's just a mere call prank.

"Just who the hell is this?" I put it back on the nightstand and tried to ignore it. Oh God. It's morning and I should start my day with things that I should be thinking of, hindi ang mga bagay na guguluhin lang ang tahimik kong umaga. Kung sino man siya, hindi niya ba naisip na ginugulo niya ang umaga ko?

Because honestly, I'm a bit curious too.

I opened my fifth closet at naglabas ng isang black colored dress. Till now I wonder, kung bakit ba kasi hindi na lang ako nagpagawa ng walk in closet at kailangan ko pang magisa-isa sa sampung closet doors na nandidito sa kwarto ko. I let out sigh as I pressed my temples in annoyance. It was too late to realized that I am so damn lame and such an idiot in the past. Well, this house will be rennovate soon, kaya isasama kong irenovate ang sampung closet doors na toh at gawin na lang itong walk-in closet.

I faced my reflection in the mirror and fixed myself. I love black ever since I was a little. But only me and my mother and, also my father who knew about my favorites. And of course even my best friend, Sam knew about it. But the other people whom I knew and know me, didn't.

Saktong pagkatapos kong mag-ayos at suotin ang coat ay mayroong kumatok sa pinto ng aking kwarto. Maybe it's manang Albe.

"Yes?"

"Ma'am, may naghahanap po sa inyo." Sagot ni manang Albe mula sa labas ng kwarto.

Napaisip naman ako kung sino ang bisita ko. Is it Samara? But I didn't remember that I invited her here. She knows that I have to visit the site of the construction area for the new branch of EXiellene Royale here in the Philippines, kaya bakit niya naman ako iistorbohin at bibisitahin?

I walk to the door as I grabbed my shoulder bag and open the door. Nakatayo sa labas si Manag Albe habang may hawak na pamunas at sprayer. Lumabas ako nang kwarto saka ito sinarado.

"Sino daw po sila manang?" Tanong ko sa kanya nang harapin ko siya.

"Mr. Alexis Riguera raw ho, ma'am." Sagot nito sakin kaya napa-isip ako.
