Taming The Superiors (High Class Issue Series #1)

Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Accused

Eliza's POV

My lips formed into a smile when I saw the breakfast that I made for Desmond. The table is filled with healthy foods, and Manang Ising helped me also to prepare some hangover remedies for him.

Nagulat ako dahil hindi ko pa naman nakitang uminom si Desmond pero nung dumating ito kagabi kasama si Morde ay halos pinagsakluban ako ng langit at lupa at doon ko lang napagtanto ang inaasal ko sa kanya pagkatapos naming ikasal.

But now, I want a better relationship with him, but there's no guarantee that I will love him. Seeing him hurting makes me guilty, but I can't force myself to love him because that will make the situation worse.

"Tama na ang ngiti at gisingin mo na si Desmond, Eliza. Mukhang hindi makakapasok ang asawa mo dahil sa kalasingan," usal ni Manang Ising na dahilan para mapangiti ako.

Sa tingin ko naman ay hindi siya makakapasok dahil sa kalasingan kaya habang nagpapahinga siya ay kukunin ko na ang pagkakataon para linawin ang relasyon namin bilang mag-asawa.

Nalaman ko na mababa lang pala ang alcohol tolerance niya. Dahil sa kalasingan ay wala siya sa katinuan kagabi at panay ang tawag niya sa pangalan ko.

Guilt filled me last night when I saw his situation. Desmond knows nothing about my forbidden love for Morde, and indeed, their friendship is secretly ruined for just one reason, because of me.

"Kung masama po ang pakiramdam niya ay hindi ko muna papapasukin," sabi ko. Narinig ko namang bumuntong-hininga si Manang Ising kung kaya kumunot ang noo ko. Sumilay rin ang isang ngiti sa labi nito habang pinagmamasdan ako.

"Why are you smiling, Manang?" I asked.

"Napansin ko lang kasi na bumubuti na ang kalagayan mo kahit na may nagbago sa buhay mo." She felt proud seeing me trying my best to heal from the past. I know it's still a long way for me to heal, but I won't stop until I realize that it's already the best version of myself.

"Manang, we need to accept the changes in our lives. Gusto ko maging masaya naman ako kahit isang beses lang." My mouth curved into a smile while saying that. Yes, we must accept that there will be changes in our plans because there might be an instance that the path we want to take is going to ruin us.

If I fail, I'm always free to begin. People don't have the authority to question why you are changing yourself because you just want the best for yourself.

"Sige na, gisingin mo na ang asawa mo." Tumango ako at umakyat na sa kwarto namin ni Desmond na dating ako lang ang gumagamit.

Kailangan kong sanayin ang sarili ko na hindi lang kami ni Manang Ising ang nandito sa bahay. Lumipat dito si Desmond dahil kasal na kami. Sinabi ko nga sa kanya na ako na ang lilipat pero napag-desisyunan niyang dito na lang manirahan dahil alam niyang mas komportable ako dito.

I opened the door and saw that he was still sleeping. I think when he wakes up, he will have a headache because of drunkenness.
