The Unwanted Marriage (On-going)

Chapter Nineteen

THE UNWANTED MARRIAGE
Chapter 19

STAYING WITH MY PARENTS house really helped me to rest my mind. And it's already been three days since I left and since then, Zachary didn't even think about contacting me. I've been expecting this, yet I can't still help but to feel disappointed.

Although we are not in good terms, I am hoping that he will call me and ask when will I be back. It doesn't even matter if he accused me... I just want to hear his voice.

I signed a deep breath. "One-sided-love is really painful." Natatawang sabi ko.

I don't even deserve this kind of pain, but why I'm still staying? Gising naman ako sa katotohanan na hindi ako ang mahal niya pero bakit nagpapakatanga pa rin ako sa kaniya? I shouldn't pushed this loveless marriage in the first place.

"Aware sa pagiging tanga pero hindi magawang bumitaw." Natatawang wika ko sa aking sarili.

While caressing my baby bumb my phone rang. I answered the video call and the first thing I heard is Sharleah's loud voice.

"Let's hangout!" Looks like she ate microphone again.

"You don't have work today, Sharleah?" Jiandra on the other hand, asked.

"Yep! It's my day off so let's go hangout!" I smiled when I saw how excited she is.

I let them talk as I always do.

"Well, I have nothing to do anyways, so I'm in! How about you, Thalia?" Jiandra asked me and smile as I'm still caressing my tummy. I'm planning on telling them about my pregnancy.

I smiled at them, "I'm always free so let's meet up!" I responded.

Sharleah's smile even grew bigger. "Great! Then let's meet at Magnate coffee shop, 2:00 p.m. sharp 'kay?" She said.

I nodded together with Jiandra who's also smiling ear-to-ear.

"See you later!" The three of us said in unison. We laughed before we end the call.

I looked at the time and it's already one o'clock in the afternoon. Ayoko man ma-late sa meet up namin pero tinatamad pa akong kumilos. So instead of going to the bathroom, I laid down and close my eyes for a moment.

Nang tignan ko ang oras, trenta minutos na pala ang nakalipas. Bumangon ako sa aking pagkakahiga at nag-inat ng ilang segundo.

AFTER I took a shower ay siya namang biglang pagbukas ng pinto sa aking kwarto at bumungad sa aking ang nag-aalalang mukha ni Mom.

"Did something happened, Mom? You look worried." Tanong ko nang makalapit ako sa tabi niya.

"I kept knocking, but you're not answering so I thought something happened to you." Mom worriedly said.

Tinignan ako ni Mom mula ulo hanggang paa at nang makasigurado na okay lang ako ay doon lang nawala ang pag-aalala niya.

"I was taking a shower that why I didn't hear your knocking. Sorry for making you worried." I muttered as I hugged Mom.

"It's okay. Anyway, may lakad ka ba?" Mom asked.

"Yep, I'm meeting with Sharleah and Jiandra." I answered. "How about you Mom, it looks like you have something to tell me?"
