The Trained Wife [Completed]

Kabanata 4

I finished ten modules in one week. There's still a lot to go. Wala pa nga sa kalahati ang natatapos ko. Pero may tiwala ako sa sarili ko na makakaya ko.

Rycie is in formal attire when she visits me early this morning. "Training will start in few minutes." Pinaghanda niya ako upang makapag-focus sa gagawin. "Proper etiquette, we're done with everything. Great." Aniya habang chinicheck ang notes niya. "Ano pa ba? Everything about you now is perfect, you shout with elegance whenever you face people, so there's nothing to worry about anymore." Tumatango-tango siya habang may dinagdag pa siya sa kanyang listahan.

"Next, styling is okay when I'm around." As much as possible I want to wear simple clothes but I think it's something I can't apply here. "Nawawala ka sa style na ginawa ko kapag wala ako sa tabi mo. Rana, you should remind yourself that you're the future of Ped Airlines. You're gonna be the heiress soon." Hearing those words won't still sink in me. Pakiramdam ko pa rin ay wala akong karapatan, to top that, I'm not a real daughter. I'm not a real Pedrino.

"Noted Rycie."

"Okay let's begin." Nagsimula kami sa pagiging wife material ko. That would be the lesson for the next coming months. There's no scheduled marriage yet. And I don't have any idea if they broke up already, what if they're still together? That would make me a mistress and that's something I never dreamed of.

"Rejected." Aniya sa tinimpla kong kape. This is my tenth time attempting to copy the taste of coffee Kal prefers. "Kaunti na lang Rana, a bit sweeter than this. It tasted a bit bitter now. Not too sweet, not too bitter. That's the secret." Aniya. Tumango na lamang ako kahit napapagod ako.

"Ma'am Rycie, Ma'am Cerys, si Sir Kal po." Muntik ko nang mabitiwan ang hawak kong tasa ng kape. Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa dami ng tasang nakapatong sa kitchen counter.

Nanliliit ang mga matang tinitigan niya ako. "Mom told me to fetch you." Nilapag ko ang tasang hawak ko sa kitchen counter. Tinanguan ako ni Rycie. "And cous, why are you always with her?" He sounded suspicious again. Binalik niya ang tingin sa mga tasa na para bang sinusuri niya ang mga ito. Nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataong aralin ang buong mukha niya habang wala sa akin ang atensiyon niya.

His side parted haircut makes him more authoritative complementing his heart-shaped face. His pair of thick eyebrows also match with his striking upturned eyes with not too short, not too long eyelashes. He has pointed nose that's more defined through his side profile. His light pink lips suit his medium skin tone making him more attractive than anyone.

I'll probably never get tired of saying how charismatic man he is. He can even flutter my heart without uttering a single word, by just towering over me. He's that tall, more than an inch to 6 feet, I think.

Nang siguro ay mapansin niya ang pagtitig ko sa kanya ay tsaka naman niya ako tinapunan ng tingin. I looked away.

"I told you we're close friends so what else should I be doing now?"

"I didn't see you this close to someone before..." Aniya, halatang nanantiya sa magiging sagot ni Rycie.

"Cerys is different, that's why..." Natahimik si Kal nang dahil doon. "Sige na Cerys, sumama ka na muna sa kanya. Baka nai-inggit, hindi kasi kayo makapag-bonding." Natatawang sabi ni Rycie. Hindi na nagsalita pa si Kal at dire-diretsong naglakad palabas.

"Kal, sandali lang..." Tawag ko sa kanya. Iritado niya akong binalingan ng tingin tsaka kinuha ang kamay ko.  Napangiwi ako nang muntik na akong matumba dahil sa heels na sa suot ko at paghila niya sa akin. He is wearing a business professional attire.

"Ang bagal mo." Aniya.

"Galit ka ba?" Malumanay kong tanong tsaka hinigit ko ang kamay ko sa pagkakahawak niya. "If you're mad then don't take me with you." Halos ibulong ko ang mga salitang iyon sa hangin, nagmarka ang pagkakahawak niya sa palapulsuhan ko. It's visible because of my fair skin tone.
