The Replacement Wife

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Time went by like a blur, and today is the day that we'll go to the venue where we will going to held the celebration. Tahimik kong ipinapasok sa isang malaking maleta ang mga damit ko para sa limang araw na reunion.

Ang so-sosyal naman talaga ng mga tao'ng iyon, ano? Hindi halatang pinaghahandaan talaga ang reunion na ito. May pa organize-organize pang nalalaman.

I sighed as I putted the last piece of shirt in my luggage. Tumayo ako at binaba mula sa kama ang maleta. Nang matapos ay dumiretso na ako sa banyo para makapag-ligo. After lunch will be our flight to Palawan.

Nang matapos sa pagligo, I wore a thin floral dress, beneath my white bikini.

I sat down in front of the vanity table to fix myself. I blow-dried my hair before tying it into a messy bun. No need to put makeup. Hindi pa ako nakakakain.

Nang tumayo na ako mula sa pagkaupo ay siya ding pagbukas ng pinto. Lumingon ako at nakita si Zeiger na naka-pamulsang tinignan ako. He is wearing jogging pants and plain white shirt.

His brows quirked up as he made his way towards the bed. He laid down and hugged a pillow then closed his eyes.

Napangiwi ako at humarap ulit sa salamin.

"What time is your flight?"

I flinched and looked at him through the mirror. He's looking at me intently making my heart skipped a beat.

"Before lunch." maikling sagot ko.

"Ihahatid kita."

Natigilan ako at tuloyan nang humarap sa kaniya. He looks bored as he gaze at me.

"Y-You don't have work?"

"Kaeden took over my position for the mean time." He said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Naka-uwi na sa Pilipinas si kuya Kaeden?" Gulat na tanong ko.

Kuya Kaeden is his half-brother from his mother's side. Sa una nitong asawa na suma-kabilang buhay na. Kaeden is 4 years older than him.

If Zeiger is a little bit stiff and cold--- well, kung little bit pa ba ang matatawag sa kalimigan na taglay niya; Kuya Kaeden is the exact opposite. He is a total enthusiastic idiot.

"Yeah."

"Kailan pa?"

"Last week."

"Ah, okay." Sabi ko. Tumango naman siya at hinagis ang unan sa kama bago tumayo na.

"Let's eat." He said. I saw how the sides of his lips rose a bit for a small smile.

Doon na ako tuloyan na natigilan. He... smiled at me.

Kanina pa ako nakaluto, ah. He hasn't eaten yet?

I felt something touched my heart and butterflies in my stomach. Tumalikod na ako at humarap ulit sa salamin at nagkunwaring inaayos ang sarili ko.

"Mauna ka nang bumaba. Susunod ako." I said and smiled at him through the mirror.

He nodded. He walked his way out of the room. I heave a sigh and shook my head.

He's slowly changing... I'm slowly seeing the old Zeiger.

A faint smile crept on my lips as stood straight before walking out of the room bringing my luggage with me.

Inilagay ko sa may sala ang aking maleta nang makababa bago naglakad patungo sa kusina kung saan prenteng naka-upo si Zeiger habang hinihintay ako.
