Unwanted Vengeance [COMPLETED]

Chapter Three: "Honest With You"

I started mixing the ingredients while checking the cook book every five minutes. There's no doubt na may makalimutan akong ingredient kaya nagpatulong ako kay Kei sa ingredients. Hinalo-halo ko ang niluluto ko at kumuha ng kutsara para tikman. Kumuha ako ng kapiranggot na dami at saka ito tinikman. "Mmm. Baby, ang sarap. Try mo."

Kumuha ako ng isa pang kutsara para patikimin si Kei. "Mmm. Ang sarap nga n'yan Jace. Pwede ka na sanang maging chef kaso napaka-malilimutin mo pagdating sa ingredients."

I chuckled and embraced my wife. "Mas masarap ka, baby."

Pumiglas ito sa pagkayakap ko sa kanya and then started to playfully punch me multiple times. "Ayan ka nanaman babe. Baka mamaya masampiga na kita." She playfully teases.

"Joke lang naman Kei." Sabay kaming tumawa. "Tapusin ko muna itong niluluto ko tapos maliligo na ako."

"Okay babe. Pero dapat mabango ka. Nakakahiya naman kina mama kung malalaman nya kung gaano ka kaasim. Pwede ka nang ipang-sigang." Wika n'ya sabay tawa.

I lightly laughed and kissed her forehead. "Mag-prepare ka na babe. Yung nilabhan kong dress nasa labas pa hehe. Nakalimutan kong ipasok."

Tumawa si Kei sabay tumango. "Okay lang babe. Magluto ka na d'yan."

After another ten minutes of balancing the flavors, I turned the stove off and transferred the food in a fancy bowl. Nakuha ko na kanina ang cake tapos nakuha ko na rin ang ice cream. May mga lutong ulam na rin sa lamesa kaya tinakpan ko nalang ito muna.

Umakyat ako para kunin ang twalya ko tapos bumaba ako para maligo.

I like to take baths downstairs because the toilet is larger and it has more of my necessities here. Naligo na ako then pumunta ako sa kwarto ko para magbihis sa taas. I went to our room and realized na nasa garden si Kei. Nagdidilig siya ng mga halaman.

I wore my favorite plain white long polo with metal buttons. I then saw my phone wallpaper which was a row of yellow tulips. It reminded me if the day I proposed to Kendra. Nasa simbahan kami and I bought a bouquet of tulips and I was wearing this polo with a bow tie. It was the happiest day of my life.

Pumili ako ng pwedeng isuot na tie at doon ko nakita and necktie na regalo sakin ni Luna noong nanliligaw ako palang sa kanya. Kinuha ko ito at kasya parin ito sa akin. Ang ganda parin ng tela hanggang ngayon.

Bumaba na ako at ang una kong nakita ay ang napakaganda kong asawa. "Ang ganda mo talaga Kei. Ang swerte ko talaga sa'yo. Maganda na nga matalino pa tapos mabait pa."

Ngumiti naman ito. "Bola ka! But thanks baby. Alam kong buntis na ako pero ganon parin tingin mo sakin. Mahal na mahal kita Jason."

I approached her and held her in my arms. "I love you too, Kendra."

I looked at the time and it was already 6:30 and our families are going to arrive at around 7 pm. The dinner table was already set and hopefully, the food hasn't become too cold yet. Grabe nakakagutom yung dami ng pagkain na nasa lamesa.

I kissed my wife and hugged her from behind. "Baby, I want an honest opinion. Masaya ka ba sakin? I mean, masaya ka ba kahit na nung una sobrang gulo ng past natin? Kasi sa totoo lang, naguiguilty ako sa mga ginawa ko lalo na sa ate mo. Syempre masaya akong makilala ka but my mistakes will haunt me forever."

"Baby, naguiguilty din ako. There are times when I cannot sleep to be honest. Minsan naiisip ko na baka kaya okay lang kay ate yung relasyon natin ay dahil sa nasaktan sya ng sobra. But I'm happy na nakahanap din siya ng taong magmamahal ng tunay sakanya. Kuya Tanner is so kind. And I know she feels the same way. I just hope na hindi natin nasira lahat ng kasiyahan niya sa buhay."

"Kendra. I want to be completely honest with you."

"Go on." She says with a small smile on her face,

"The first time I saw your sister, I instantly fell in love with her. I was for years until I suddenly fell in love with you. I was honestly shocked because I used to look at you as a sister pero sa isang iglap mahal na kita. At the time I wanted to forget those feelings because I knew it was wrong. So, I did what I thought was right and could help me forget those tempting thoughts."

"You proposed to her." Napatingin ako sakanya na nakatulala sa kisame.

"Yeah. I did. At first, I was happy. I felt like I did the right decision. Akala ko makakalimutan ko yung nararamdaman ko para sayo. But, in the end it was still you. I wanted to break up with her but I didn't know how. I may be hopelessly in love with you but I also still had feelings for Luna. I was so confused but that was when I decided to court you. And finally, I did something right. I was so glad you said yes. I was almost addicted to you." I then slightly chuckled. "I was scared to break up with Luna on our seventh anniversary. Nakapagdistribute na kasi kami ng invitations. Ang dami ko ngang pagsisisi pero pilit ko nalang kinakalimutan kasi nandito ka na ehh."

Hinalikan ako ni Kei at hinawi ang buhok na nasa mukha ko. "Marami rin akong pinagsisisihan Jace. Lalo na noong nakita ko yung itsura ni ate nung kasal niya. Pumasok sa isip ko na sana hindi nalang kita sinagot noon. Pero ngayon medyo okay na rin ako kasi napausapan na namin ni ate ang tungkol do'n."

Tinitigan ko ang mga mata ni Kei. Hawig ng mga mata niya si Luna pero ang kaibahan lang ay green ang mata ni Luna tapos black ang kay Kei.

"Kei. Lagi mong tatandaan na mahal na mahal kita."

"Mahal na mahal din kita Jace. Pero sa totoo lang sana sa iba way tayo nagkakilala."

I hugged her from the side and started playing with her hair. "Me too Kei. Me too."

We stayed in that position for a few more minutes because who doesn't like cuddles?

After some time has gone by, nag-ring na ang doorbell and napatayo na kami. "Ready ka na?" Tanong ko kay Kei.

She nodded and held my hand. "Ready."
