THE WIFE AWAITS HIM

Louise

"Stop going back to the one who brings you more than pain than happiness.. It's not worth it to continue to invest your feelings to somebody who doesn't appreciate your Love."Justin said right in front of my face. Kinaladkad niya ako rito sa may sulok ng makita niya akong patagong sinusundan si Treck.Napalunok ako. I know and I get his point but I just can't do that! Treck was the only one for me. I love him!

"I-I love him..." I mumbled.

"That isn't love, Louise. Inaakala mo lang na mahal mo siya dahil palagi mo siyang kasama, you were just attached to him but not love him. You were just fooled of the idea that something intimate was  happening to the both of you. Lumaki ka lang na walang nagpapakita ng pagmamahal sa iyo kaya ka nagkaganyan dahil nahanap at naramdaman mo iyon kay Treck pero sana, Louise bilang kaibigan mo, intindihin mo ang sinasabi ko. Kung hindi mo hinayaang ikulong ang sarili mo, kung hindi mo hinayaang maging introvert, anti-social ka, magiging normal lang lahat sa iyo ang pinapakita ni Treck. Nothing was special on his treatment to you." Unti-unti kong binabaklas ang mahigpit niyang hawak sa magkabila kong braso habang lumuluhang umiiling.

"You are wrong. I know, I felt it. I know he loves me."

Pinunasan ko ang namumuong luha sa mata ko. Ang tanga ko pala talaga para sayangin ko ang dalawang taon na mahalin ang katulad niya.

"Wow! That is just wow! Just wow, Chrysantha!" I saw how my photographer clap his hands. He walked towards me. "How did you do that? You really looked like a broken hearted woman here." He added. Kainis naman dahil inalala ko pa ang isa sa mga masasakit na nangyari sa akin para lang maka-project sa camera ng maayos at convincing.

Yes, I am a model now. Model for victoria secret. Napasok lang naman ako rito dahil kay Darren, e. He's one of the most known photographer in my industry. Gwapo na nga ang bait pa!

"Thanks." I said. He was about to hold my hands when someone cleared his throat. I saw Darren coming towards me. He took his coat off and put it on mine. I smiled. Kinikilig ako.

"Get dress."He said through gritted teeth.

Nakasumpong si baby boy ko. Haha!

"Alam mo minsan pinagsisisihan kong pinasok kita sa Victoria Secret." He said out of the blue while we were on his car.

"Huh? Bakit naman?"

"Halos hubad ka na e. Laging lingerie suot mo." My gaze shifted on his pale knuckles. Mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa steering wheel. My brow arched.

"Of course lingerie ang suot ko. Victoria Secret iyon." Naiiling na humarap na lang sa bintana.

"Shit!" I roared. Nanlilisik ang mga mata ko siyang hinarap. "What the fuck is your problem? Bakit ka bigla-biglang nagpepreno?" Singhal ko.

He heaved out a sigh and closed his eyes. He faced me.

"Sorry." Then he again faced the road and started the engine.

"Thanks!" I waved at him. He just nodded and drove away. I counted for 10 seconds. I know him. Hindi matatapos ang pagbibilang ko bababalik siya.

My heart jumped out of its crib when I saw Darren's car coming again. Mablis na mabilis ito at gaya ng bilis ng kotse niya ay ganun din ang bilis ng paglabas niya at paglakad palapit sa akin. Knowing him for being so fast, mabilis niyang sinakop ng buo ang labi ko. Napapikit ako at inilagay ko paiikot ang mga kamay ko sa leeg niya.
