Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Volunteer Bride : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

*Allessandro*Parang naglaho bigla lahat ng galit at poot na nararamdaman ko nang makita ko sa Alana sa loob ng hospital room ko. She didn't change. Her eyes were still my favorite place to stare for the rest of my life. She still had the charm that had stolen my attention since I first met her. Her voice was still my favorite lullaby.I didn't know why she left without asking what was really happening. She's just gone without any words, and it kills me every day. She's tough for torturing me. Alana was the woman I loved after Andrea broke my heart, and now she's back like nothing happened. She's the reason Alana left me. I've already told her everything, and we settled things between us on the day Alana left. I badly wanted to hug my wife, but I'm afraid she would reject me and push me away again, just like she did before. She's bold, and she was powerful. "I'm leaving now. I have work to do; your personal nurse will be here soon." Malamig ang tinig niya.Dalawang araw na siya ang

*Allessandro*"Ang ganda pala sa Bali, noh?" Puno ng paghangang sabi ni Brenda."Paano mo naman nasabi?" Tanong naman ni Diego."Tingnan mo kasi 'yong mga pictures ni ma'am Alana. Oh, 'di ba sobrang ganda?" Ani Brenda."Oo nga, saan ba ngayon si ma'am Alana?" Usisa ni Diego."Nasa Bali. Nakakainggit nga e." Ani Brenda."Sige next anniversary natin sa Bali tayo." Boses ni Diego.Kilig na kilig naman si Brenda."Teka lang, sino 'yang kasama ni ma'am Alana? Bagong nobyo ba niya?" Komento ni Diego.Kumunot ang noo ko.Nasa kitchen si Brenda at Diego habang ako naman ay lihim na nakamasid sa kanila. Pagkatapos kong madischarged sa hospital ay tinawagan kong muli si Brenda. Mas gusto ko siya kesa sa personal nurse ko.Mabilis pa sa takbo ng cheetah ang ginawa kong paglapit kina Brenda at Diego. "Ay naku, sir! Dahan dahan lang po kayo sa paglalakad!" Natatarantang sigaw ni Brenda.Medyu masakit pa nga 'yong hita ko dahil hindi pa lubusang magaling 'yong sugat peru dahil sa narinig kong usap

*Allessandro*"What's Alana doing in Atty. Salazar's office?" Kunot noo kong tanong kay Marcello.He shrugged."Why don't you ask her?" Pabalik niyang tanong.Alana was too confusing. After we did our elevator thing, she didn't show herself to me again. I tried to call her, but maybe she blocked my number just like she always did. She's having a great time annoying me."She's avoiding me." Maikling wika ko.Atty. Salazar was one of my friends. I had to ask him what Alana's plan was."You guys are like the bulb in my room." He commented."On and off, it was like blinking non-stop. I don't understand what the problem is with it." He continued."I don't understand what her problem is." I replied."Do you still want to keep her?" Seryosong tanong niya.Heaven and hell knew how much I wanted my wife back. There's no doubt about it. "Marcello, Alana is my wife. I admit I married her because I had no choice, but it changed as I knew her completely." I reasoned. He sighed."We have to talk

*Alana*Nagpupuyos ako sa galit. Hindi ko alam kung nananadya si Allessandro o nagkataon lang na ilang beses ko silang makitang magkasama ni Andrea. Magkasama sila sa isang party at ngayon laman sila ng news."Bakit parang pinagsakluban ka ng langit at lupa?" Tanong ni Alena.Kumunot ang noo ko.Kanina bago ako umuwi ng bahay ay kumain kami ni Molly sa isang Chinese restaurant. Ang sarap ng pagkain hindi uso sa'kin ang diet kaya lumamon na ako. Hindi ko pa nakakalahati 'yong dumplings ko ay bigla akong nawalan ng gana dahil sa pagpasok sa restaurant ni Allessandro at Andrea."Pagod lang ako." Pagsusunungaling ko peru sa totoo lang gusto ko ng bumuga ng apoy sa inis."Marcello invite for a dinner." Maya-maya ay sabi niya."Bakit ayaw mo siyang ipakilala kay Papa?" Tanong ko saka pasalampak na naupo sa sopa.I feel exhausted.Umasim ang mukha ni Alena."Bakit ko ipapakilala?" Nakataas ang kilay niyang tanong.Ibig sabihin hindi pa boyfriend ni Alena si Marcello?"Akala ko ba in a relati

*Alana*"Alam mo sumusobra na talaga 'yang Andrea na yan. Kung makaasta akala mo pag-aari niya si Allessandro." Naiinis kong kuwento."Bakit ba affected ka? Ilang araw na lang ay hindi mo na asawa si Allessandro dapat wala ka ng pakialam sa kanilang dalawa ng Andrea na 'yon." Ani Molly.Tumulis ang nguso ko."Kanino ka ba kampi sa'kin o kay Andrea?" Puna ko.Ngumisi siya saka nag-peace sign.Nakakainit lang talaga ng ulo 'yong ginagawa ni Andrea. Kapag ako napikon ng tuluyan nako!"Siyempre sa'yo. Ang point ko lang naman ay dapat dedma mo na sila." Paglilinaw niya.Biglang dumating si Giorgia. Hindi yata maganda ang timpla ng mood."Alana, can we talk?" Bungad niya.Nakapagtataka ang pagiging pormal niya pati na rin ang tono ng boses niya.Ano kayang problema ni Giorgia at ang aga yata niyang napasugod dito sa noodles house. Hindi niya kasama si Giorge kaya alam kong hindi siya magtatagal.Lumipat kami ng area kung saan malimit lamang ang mga diner."I want a favor from you." Deritson
