Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Unti-unting lumuwag ang pagkakahawak niya sa braso ni Blake at bumagal ang lakad niya she was hurting,sa tagal niya ng gusto ang lalaki na ito ay hindi man lang nito marealize kung nakakasakit ba ang mga sinasabi nito sakanya,kaya ngayon ay sumasama ang loob niya dito because Blake is so insensitive!,kaya naman nauna na itong mag lakad sakanya. But Blake stopped walking ng marealize na hindi na siya nakasunod dito and he faced her with a serious face.

"Stop beating around the bush and talking about things that you don't mean Arielle"he spout coldly habang magkasalubong ang kilay nito hindi niya alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip ni Blake ngayon bakit parang nag iba nanaman ang mood nito.

Ngunit nakipagsukan lang siya ng tingin dito at nameywang sa harap nito.

"I'm not the one who burns bridges here Blake you are, because this relationship for me is true ikaw lang naman ang may ayaw, so stop playing around and take this seriously Blake because I'm serious"at pinandilatan din niya ito seryoso naman talaga siya mukhang ito lang naman ang ayaw magseryoso.

Napatitig ito sakanya, ngunit nangunot ang noo niya when amusement play in his handsome face.

"W-what?"

But Blake walks towards her at na paatras siya.

"Do you think, I'm playing? ''nabura ang ngiti sa labi nito at naging seryoso nanaman.

" I know, Blake you're not serious about this marriage but I am at wala kang magagawa I swear darating ang araw that you will.. you-will fall for me.. "it almost a whisper ang mga huling salitang lumabas sa bibig niya.

But she mean it she wanted him to fall for her someday.

Hindi na niya kaya pang tingnan ang mga mata nito, dahil baka tuluyan lang siyang mapaamin ni Blake sa tunay na nararamdaman niya para dito.

And she walked through him at ito naman ang iniwan niya.

Nauna siyang bumaba sa kusina at kalalapag lang ng pagkain ng mga katulong. Blake was following her from behind humila siya mg upuan at naupo she didn't want to look at him kasabay ng masakit na katawan niya ay sumasabay pa ang puso niya.

She already had her dinner kaya wala narin siyang plano pang kumain ulit ng kanin.

Ngunit maliban sa ulam niya na calderita ay dumating si Jeron while holding a bowl of fresh vegetables salad.

Kaya naman napatingala siya dito habang nanlalaki ang mata.

Mas maganda pang ito ang kainin niya kesa mag kanin ulit siya.

She smiles at Jeron sweetly.

"My gosh! Thanks Jeron you're the best!" At tinanggap ang bowl ng salad.

Alam ni Jeron na magsasabay sila ni Blake at mapipilitan siyang kumain ulit ng kanin.

Kita naman niya ang pamumula ni Jeron at napakamot sa ulo at nahihiyang ngumiti.

"Y-your welcome madam"

But Blake clear his throat at napabaling silang dalawa dito ni Jeron.

Nagsalubong naman ang kilay niya sa reaksyon nito.

"Are you jealous?" Hindi niya maiwasang mainis dito Blake is getting into her nerves.

"W-what?" Nagsalubong din ang kilay nito sa sinabi niya.

"Well, Blake wag kang masyadong seloso remember, I am also your wife at siguro naman ay pwede mong i share sakin ang personal chef mo"

At inirapan niya ito but Blake didn't response at nagpapasalamat siya.

She doesn't care about his feelings ngayon, she never wanted to be intimidated by Blake dahil matatalo siya.

She just focused on her meal at hindi rin kinausap si Blake medyo hindi na masakit ang katawan niya salamat sa gamot na binigay ni Romero dahil kung hindi ay siguradong mahahalata siya nito pag pa ika-ika siya.

" I'm going to meet your dad tomorrow wanna come? "

Muntik na siyang mabilaukan sa narinig at nag aalalang napalingon dito.

"Are you ok?" Tila nagulat din ito sa kanya, she nodded.

.. paktay! Hindi niya pwedeng makausap si dad!

"A-ano ang gagawin mo? "

Inabotan siya nito ng tissue at tinanggap naman niya at pinunasan ang bibig.

" I need to deliver some important documents to him, --"

" Bakit hindi kanalang mag utos? "Putol pa niya

" It's personal, and it's confidential from my dad to your father"napatango siya but her mind is going crazy right now dapat makaisip siya ng paraan.

" I-I can give it to him tomorrow mag-mag kikita din naman kami"yun nalang ang naisip niya dahil hindi pwedeng magkita ang dalawa, baka hindi pa sinasadyang mabanggit ng daddy niya.

" Oh..? Is that so? "

Sunod-sunod na tango ang sagot niya dito, saglit lang nangunot ang noo nito ngunit bumaling sa kinakain.

" Yes, If you want I can bring it to him myself, syempre anak niya naman ako kaya may tiwala kanaman siguro--"

" You're so eager.. "Blake leaned at her and stared at her with amusement in his face.

" H-huh? "Is she too obvious or magaling lang talagang kumilatis si Blake

" Kanina lang galit ka sakin, and now... "

".. Blake nagkakawang gawa lang ako, I know you have many things to do, at pupunta din naman ako sa parents ko tomorrow because I missed them, and if it's confidential and you don't trust your 'wife'enough then wala akong magagawa from now on--"

" Stop, stop,. I didn't say anything why are you so defensive? "Amused nitong sabi.

Rinig naman niya ang hagikgik ng mga taong kasama nila.

At pakiramdam niya ay namula ang pisngi niya ngunit nakabawi agad siya at inirapan niya ito.

Nangalumbaba ito sa mesa habang nakatitig sakanya his grey eyes were sparkling at napaka gandang tingnan ito ang pinaka nagustuhan niya kay Blake his beautiful pair of eyes.

His flaxen hair wavey hair his grey eyes, his sharp nose, red lips and his pale white skin, Sabagay ang daddy ni Blake ay almost pure European, but he grows up in the Philippines at nakilala ang asawa nitong half Italian at half pinay at dalawa ang naging bunga Blake the eldest and his brother Blight.

So this is the result of mixed blood and genes napaka gwapo nito.

" Tomorrow I will give you the documents so stop talking, you're annoying"bigla itong sumeryoso kaya naman napasimangot siya

"You know Blake I like you, but sometimes I wanted to punch you"nakairap niyang sabi dito sabay sumubo ng salad.

"Well, then.. punch me"hamon pa nito, she can't.

Wala pa siyang alam sa self defense at siguro ini-expect nito na kaya niyang gawin ang ginagawa ni Carina but for now she can't.

Ngunit inirapan lang niya ito .

"You're blunt sometimes"she glanced at him.

"Yeah, that's me"at nagkibit balikat ito at nag focus ulit sa kinakain.

"The husband shouldn't be annoyed to his wife, I never see my dad annoyed to my mom--"

"I'm not your dad, and we are just in contact marriage Arielle remember? "

Hindi siya nakaimik sa sinabi ni Blake, when she heard the maids whispering pakiramdam niya ay nanikip ang dibdib niya sa sinabi ni Blake.

What's got into him again? Akala niya ay ok na sila but why is he acting like this again?

Tuluyan na siyang nawalan ng gana kumain at binaba ang kubyertos.

She stood at umalis mula sa mesa

" Hey,! Where are you going? "Tila nagulat ito sa biglang pagtayo niya sa kinauupuan.

",. we are not a real couple right? so.. from now on hindi na tayo magsasabay kumain, "

At nilampasan niya ito.

" Come back here..! "

" Why would I obey you? You're not my 'real'husband by the way"and she proceed to walk.

" Rùde bástard! "

At dumiretso siya sa kwarto nila, masama ang loob niya dito ano nanaman bang nangyari kay Blake did he hate her so much?

She was tired at gusto niya naring magpahinga dahil bukas ay may training ulit siya at kailangang may lakas siya.

Nagtungo siya sa kama at nahiga, if she finished her training ay magsisisi si Blake.

At ipapakita niya dito na kaya niyang lampasan ang ex girlfriend nito at magagawa niya iyon dapat lang ay hindi nito malaman at kailangan galingan niya ang pagtatago.

She closed her eyes buo parin ang loob niya she can do it at mahuhulog din sakanya ang asawa.

She is almost half asleep when she heard him getting inside their room.

"You hate me yet you're still here in my room" she clearly hear it.

Is he going to throw her out of his room this time?

Ngunit nagpanggap nalang siyang tulog at hindi gumalaw.

She hears the bathroom door open and shut. So he's taking a bath ilang minuto pa ang narinig narin niya ang paglabas nito at ramdam niya ang paglubog ng kama sa tabi niya.

She smiles at nagpapasalamat na hindi siya nito pinaalis.

Naghintay siya ng saglit pa ng marinig niya ang malalim na paghinga nito.

She turned around ngunit nagulat siya ng makitang nakaharap pala ito sakanya, and he's already asleep.

Tinitigan niya ang mukha nito.

.. why is you so freaking handsome Blake and I hate it!

Nilapit niya ang katawan dito ngunit hindi siya dumikit dahil natatakot siya na baka magising ito kaya naman ipinikit na niya ang mga mata.

Kinaumagahan pag gising niya ay wala na ulit ito sa tabi niya kaya naman bumangon na siya at dumiretso sa banyo, pagkatapos ay bumaba sa kusina and as usual he is here ang gwapo niyang asawa while sitting at naka de kwatro and this time hindi magazine ang hawak nito kundi ang cellphone nito na tila nay ka chat habang nagkakape at tila naramdaman ang pagdating niya kaya nag angat ito ng tingin.

And again his beautiful pair of eyes ang nakapag pasigla nanaman ng umaga niya.

"Hi, good morning hubby!" She beamed at kinalimutan na ang inis niya nang nagdaang gabi.

Blake stared at her ngunit hindi ito nagsalita he just get his cup of coffee and sip.

Akma niyang kukunin ang cup nito ng biglang iiwas ni Blake.

Napakunot naman ang noo niya sa ginawa nito.

"Why are you --"

"Get yourself a coffee Arielle, this is mine"

Hawak nito ang handle ng mug na halatang ayaw na makuha niya.

"That's what couples do Blake share--"

"Again we are not a real couple Arielle so stop"

Napatitig siya dito at padabog na tinalikuran ito at nagpunta sa coffee maker at kumuha ng sariling mug at nagsalin ng kape.

And sit at the opposite part of the table kay Blake she glared at him nang magtama ang mga paningin nila.

Bakit ba ganito nanaman ang ugali ni Blake at tinutok ang atensyon sa kape niya, maya maya'y tumayo na ito at nilagay sa lababo ang mug at lumabas ng walang paalam he goes back upstairs at pagbaba ay dala na nito ang sobre.

"Give this to your dad" at tumalikod na ito ng walang paalam and she sighed heavily.

.........

Wala na tuloy siya sa mood ngayon.

Kahit nag te-training na sila si Yris.

Nagitla siya ng bigla siya nitong suntukin ni Yris at muntik na siyang tamaan sa ilong, halos naduling siya sa sobrang lapit na nang kamao nito.

"W-what did you do?"

But Yris just laughed at her

"Well I think we need to get some rest and you look occupied"

"Well yeah..I was just thinking of something "

" About what? "

" It's about who Yris"pagtatama pa niya. Sumunod siya dito papunta sa isang bakanteng upuan.

"You can tell me, Arielle why did you have to do this? "Inabot sakanya ni Yris ang isang bote ng mineral at tinanggap naman niya iyon.

" My husband ex girlfriend is a black belter right? I wanted to be like her too? "And she opened the lid at uminom.

" Be what?!"mukhang hindi ito makapaniwala sa narinig mula sakanya.

" As you know.,Blake personally trained her kaya yun ang libangan nila dati so I wanted to learn too, baka mapansin na rin ako ni Blake"she stared at the bottle at ramdam din niya ang titig sakanya ni Yris.

Mahabang katahimikan ang namayani ngunit napailing si Yris.

" You don't have to change anything Arielle if Blake will love you he will, but don't force yourself, dahil hindi ikaw ang ex niya"napatitig siya ito.

That's what the hurtful truth ngunit anong magagawa niya?

She need to adjust para naman matanggap siya nito ng tuluyan.

" I know, but I heard the maid talking about them before, they spend time together fighting kaya din na develop sila sa isat-isa and maybe this will help"

" But you're not her so stop, "Yris look annoyed habang nakatitig sakanya at napahilot ito sa sintido na tila ba sumakit ang ulo nito dahil sa mga sinasabi niya.

" But I have too Yris".

" Stop., Stop it, this will be the last time I will trained you Arielle just go find someone else na magtuturo sayo--"

" Yris.. Yris please.. please.. I'm begging you.. I need to learn this.. please ikaw lang ang makakatulong sakin.. "hinarap niya ito at ibinaba ang bote ng mineral sa upuan.

" No Arielle.. I don't want to help you anymore, I will tell Mr Armani --"

" Yris.. "she holds his hands na tila ikinagulat nito." I.. I like him since highschool,, Blake is my first love.. and.. I choose to be with him because.. until this time ay gustong gusto ko parin siya.. but he didn't like me.. we are couple but he never treated me as one.. and.. kung sakali man na wala paring mangyayari pagkatapos nito I swear.. I will give up ... "

" Blake didn't like you..? "Yris ask like it was unbelievable.

" He never once like me.. "at malungkot siyang umiling.

" That's ridiculous Arielle! "

" Maybe I'm not pretty as his ex girlfriend.. or he still can't forget about her"

Natahimik si Yris sa sinabi niya.

" And.. ito lang ang nakikita kong paraan ngayon to be close to him because the marriage will only last in two years at pag wala parin nangyari sa two years.. titigil nako "

" Damnît! Stop comparing yourself to his ex Arielle "

" I just can't help it, Yris I'm sorry "

Isang mahabang buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ni Yris

"Ok I will trained you but promise me, kung wala paring maramdaman sayo si Blake after this, you have to accept it and divorce him ok? "

And she nodded and smiles widely.

" Thank you Yris!, How about you? Don't you have a girlfriend?"

Napatitig ito sakanya.

"I like this girl but she didn't know it"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, she's not aware of it"

"Then why didn't you confessed to her?"

"No, because I still have a doubt"

"A doubt? Why? You said you like her right?"

"Yeah, right.. but she didn't remember me.."biglang nag iba ang itsura nito at napatitig sa kawalan without blinking.

"How? "

" I have this feeling na siya ang kababata ko, but.. may mga ginagawa siya na hindi pamilyar sakin"

" Wait! Wait naguguluhan ako"

"I like her, because she look like my childhood friend and my friend was gone she's been missing for almost a year now"

"W-what?"

"Like you, I like here since childhood, but when she gone missing after that ay hindi na siya nahanap, at bigla kong nakilala ang babaeng kamukha niya, now.. nagdadalawang isip ako"

" My gosh your situation is a bit hard"

"Yeah,, I guess.." pareho sila nanahimik ni Yris.

" We need to go back training after this, "bumaling siya dito at natawa naman si Yris

" Desidido kana? "

" Of course I am, "

" Then ok, basta ayaw ko ng makarinig ng reklamo na pagod kana"

" Of course I wouldn't do that! "

Mayabang pa niyang sabi but Yris just smirked we'll see"

Ibang sitwasyon din pala ang pinag dadaanan nila ni Yris.

Pakiramdam tuloy niya ay napaka swerte ng mga babaeng unang minamahal ng lalaki.

So hard to have a one sided love ikaw lang ang nagpapakahirap i built ang nararamdaman mo samantalang siya ginagawa ang lahat just to avoid falling in love with you.

She kick and punch hanggang mangawit ang mga braso niya..
