Begging For My Wife's LOVE

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

AMINA

Balot na balot ng katahimikan ang sinasakyan naming kotse noong kami’y papunta nasa pad ni Christopher. Tulog na tulog sya sa balikat ko habang panay naman ang pagsasalitanya ng sorry. The last scene between him and Sugar that I saw, why does it feels so heavy for me. I just rolled my eyes to them and walked away, he immediately trail me followed by Sir Charles. Pag pasok namin ng kotse bigla niya nalang ako niyakap at umiyak.

“Min, I’m sorry, I thought it was you. Really? F-ck! I don’t even know what I’m doin--…” agad ko pinutol ang mga sasabihin niya sa akin.Humarap ako sakanya and I tried my best to hide my anger.

 

“Why saying sorry Christopher?Bakit ka nakokonsensya sa ginawa mo? Really? You sucks! Ano? Ano naman idadahilan mo at pwede ba, tantanan mo akosa kakaiyak mo. Kalalaki mong tao, nguwa ka ng nguwa dyan? Ginusto mo naman to di’ba? Kaya pwede ba, hindi kokailangan ng paliwanag mo. Umuwi nalang tayo and I should be thankful I had seen your intimidate scene, sana man lang pinadalhan mo nalang din akong popcorn, hindi mo naman sinabing may live show ka.” Pagpupuyos kong wika sa kanya bago humarap sa bintana at umurong para magkaroon ng malaking distansya sa pagitan namin. I can hear his sniffing while murmuring sorry for the nth time. Psh! I am not angry nor jealous!

 

 

“Min, please… look at me. H’wag kana magalit. Pasensya narin sa istorbo at tsaka---.”

 

 

“Aba’y dapat lang, mahiya ka naman at naistorbo mo nga talaga ako. Hindi na nga natuloy ang lakad ko ng dahil sayo! Sir Charles called me telling me you need me because nakipag-away ka daw sa bar at akolang ang pwede niya mahingian ng tulong. He also said that you are calling my name for how many times, screaming, crashing things you can see and even punching people inside the bar and surprise, none of what he says was true when I was there! Pwede ba Christopher, wag mongidamay si Sir Charles sa mga nangyayari sa atin at sa kabaliwan mo! Ano bang kailangan kong gawin para itigil mo na to lahat! Seriously, be mature Christopher, hindi yung pinaiiral mo ang pagiging thick-headed mo!”

Bigla siyang natigilan sa mga sinabi ko. He was still crying and put his head down. After 10 minutes, Sir Charles hop in the car and looked to us. He looked to us like he wants to say something or be quiet but he chose the latter. After a while we arrive at Christopher’s bachelor’s pad. Ikinawit ni Sir Charles sa balikat niya si Christopher. “No, I…want… you..to… st..ay Min, I’m so…rry, please” – Christopher mumble as we are walking to his pad.“Tss. Ayan kase, andami mong ininom.” – Sir Charles said. I just followed them through his pad. Hindi ko maiwasan na tingnan ang nahihirapang mukha ni Christopher. Para bang hirap na hirap siya sa kondisyon niya  ngayon. Panay pa rin ang tawag niya sa pangalan ko ng ihiga na namin sya sa kanyang kama. Sir Charles went to kitchen to fetch a water. I gaze at Christopher’s face..I sit beside him and watch him still muttering my name. I sigh. What should I do? Pagod na pagod na ako sa mga nangyayari sa amin. I want to punch his face before. I scan his face and my eyes went to his lips, that kiss…my hands turn into a ball.

“Min” – Sir Charles called out my name as he was leaning on the door while drinking a whiskey. “Can we talk?” I nod to him and glance again to Christopher. I followed him through living room and sat on the sofa. He looked at me for a while before his speaks. “I want to say sorry first for troubling you this night and for Christopher’s behavior. When he was kissing that girl before, napaisip ako…he was my jerkiest buddy I have ever met so really, on behalf of him, I’m sorry.” I didn’t utter words as I put my hands on my lap and put my head down. “I saw it.” This time, I look at him and I didn’t get what he mean for it. “The pain in your eyes when you saw them kissing.” My eyes got widen and I swallowed the lump in my throat. My hands got to fists and reminisced their kiss. “Siguro, nagatataka ka kung bakit parang may alam ako sa mga nangyayari sa inyo, well let me share something to you, when I was 18, I’ve met him in a certain resto-bar at America when I was still having my band. Baguhan syang miyembro no’n sa grupo namin, and as a leader, they are my responsibility so I have to know their backgrounds. He was really a silent -boy way back then and every time he sings a song, I can feel his sadness. Hindi sya mahilig makipag-interact sa mga ka-miyembro namin, he was all alone, always loner, aloof and cold. Para bang hinaharangan niya ang sarili niya sa amin. One time, when I was having a conversation with our guest, he punch a certain guy and cause a commotion. After that, kinausap at tinanong ko sya kung bakit niya ginawa iyon at ang sabi niya, “I heard her name, he was fantasizing my woman!” Hindi ko pa naintindihan noong una kung kaninong pangalan ang tinutukoy niya but as I heard the name, pangalan mo ang sinabi niya, well in fact the name of the girl that guy said was Amira not Amina. Akala ko nga nung una nababaliw na sya, but as the time goes by, I had already know him and his reasons. Well, hindi nga dapat ako ang nagsasabi sa’yo nito. Marami ka pang hindi alam sa mga pinagdaanan niya, at para ko na rin syang kapatid at hindi ko kayang makita syang nahihirapan at nagdudusa sa mga ginawa niya sa’yo at sa anak mo. Naaawa din ako sa kanya kahit na isa sya sa pinakagago kong kaibigan.”

The whole time I was just listening and staring to Sir Charles. What are his points of saying those things? I don’t get it. “Naguguluhan ka pa rin hindi diba? Well… I will leave it here for now. It will serve as a mystery for you. And I’m sorry again, please… lean your ears to his explanation and both of you should be mature for your daughter ‘sake. Learn to know how to get through with your problems. Don’t be so hard to him” He immediately stand. “Thanks for listening. So, ikaw na ang bahala sa kanya, take care of him. It’s your duty as your wife, I mean ex-wife, right?” he smirk before he leave the pad. Now, everything is still vague and unclear to me. What is Sir Charles trying to say? I put my hands in my face and closed my eyes.

**********

Two days hindi ko sya nakita. After our last conversation of Sir Charles, hindi rin ako nagtagal sa pad ni Christopher. Umuwi rin ako nung nag-umagahan na .hindi ko na rin hinitay na magisin gsya and I left a note saying I leave early because I have so many things to do in fact, I have nothing to do that day. Ayaw ko lang na kausapin ulit sya. Nakakasawa pakinggan ang mga sasabihin niya ng pulos baligtad naman. I choose stay and rest in our condo and spend my time to my daughter. We are baking cookies and pancakes right now for our merienda this afternoon.

“Mommy! We have a visitor” Mina said while smiling at me. I frown and got curious, wala naman akong inimbitahan na pumunta dito sa condo namin. My heart was beating fast as I went directly in front of door and my mouth got into ‘O’ as I saw who was our visitor. It couln’t be…

“Hi” – he grin at me and my heart got twice to beat as I saw the guy who was confidently standing in the door while holding flowers. “Got surprise, huh?”
