The Secret Mistress

TSM 22

Umalis kami sa yakap, she wipe my tears.

"I hope this is the second to the last tears I will witness."

"And what is the last?"

"Ofcourse on your wedding! And that moment I think will gonna cry too hahaha." We both laugh.

So this is the feeling having your bestfriend, the one that will not leave you at your worst. The one that won't tolerate your wrong doings. The one that giving you an sincere advice especially, the bestfriend that will stay and listen. I am glad Aida is here.

It's 7:16pm, Kumuha ako ng wine sa main house, balak namin mag night swimming sa pool but then a lady block our way.

"Sorry po may nag reserved ng pool tonight eh."

Tumaas ang kanang kilay ko at nagpamewang.

"How about us? We like to swim too miss." Nataranta naman yung babae. Hinawakan naman ni Aida ang braso ko at hinila palayo.

"Aida...."

"Shh... What if there's a hot man there?"

"You mean a couple huh?"

"No no no, I mean what if they are friends? I heard there's a handsome guy's staying here too."

"Oh, Our Aida is into gossips now." I tease her. She just flick my forehead. I gasp.

"Ouch! What was that for? It hurts!" I pout.

"Okay, you don't want to see handsome huh?"

"No, so let's sneak in!" I grin. She smirk too as if our mind are same.

We sneak into the bushes, I am amazed! Ang ganda ng pool lalo na pag gabi. Bongga!

"Look at the pool, I think there's no one."

"You are wrong Aida, I think there is someone swimming there." Bulong ko.

"I can't see clearly." Natawa ako, malabo pala mata ni Aida.

"Should we go back and bring telescope?" Nagbibiro lang ako pero mukhang naniwala naman siya.

"But we don't have one. Shall we buy? But I doubt they are selling that thing here."

"Pfft. Never mind. Oh wait look at his back! It's yummy!" Mahina kaming humagikhik. Naningkit ang mga mata ko kase parang pamilyar yung likod.

"I can't see well it's blurr." Aida said. Teka ang tagal naman humarap! Umahon ito pero nakatalikod sa amin, uminom ito.

"Gulalaycious! Pati pag inom ang sexy! Tagal naman humarap!" Mahinang angal ko.

"Aida how about you? Do you see something? Hey talk! Hey--" nasaan na si Aida?! Nataranta ako at nilingon ang likod ko pero walang Aida! Bumalik ang tingin ko sa pool at mabilis akong napatakbo. Namamalikmata lang ba ako? Is that Adamir? But how? Sinundan niya ba ako rito? Eh bakit ngayon lang?

Wait... Asan na ako? Mapapikit ako ng mariin.

"You idi*t Colleen, why are you running?" mahina kong pinukpok ang ulo ko ng kanang kamay.

"Oh, may wine pala akong dala." Inangat ko ang kaliwa kong kamay na may dalang wine. Binuksan ko ito at ininom at naupo sa may bench na kahoy.

"I am wondering too, Why are you running?"

Otomatikong napalingon ako sa gilid ko. I gulp.

"Don't worry, I will not chase you." He said in a low voice.

What? What is this feeling? Bakit disappointed ako?

Inalis niya ang tingin niya sa akin at sa harap tumingin. He smile,

"It's been a year huh, you look so much better. And you seems having fun despite at your marriage age."

What is he talking about? Is he mocking me or complimenting me? Ay adik!

"Oh inaasar mo ba ako?" Taas kilay ko. He just smile again.

I miss that--no! It's been a year. We're over.

"You know while you were running, Every step I make I feel like there's an arrow piercing at my chest.  I am not saying this to earn an sympathy, that's how I felt that time. I am doing fine now." He glance at me and smile. Na
parang pinaparating na ayos na siya ngayon. Kung siya ayos ako hindi!

Agad kong nilagok ang laman ng wine.

"Oh I see..."

"Yeah that's all. I am going now, take care it's dangerous for you to wonder around." Nakapamulsa siyang umalis.

"Oh... A tears?" Mahina akong natawa sa sarili ko.

"Why am I crying? Bakit ang hirap huminga?" Mahina kong sinusuntok ang d*bdib ko.

"I'm crazy." Iling ko at ininom ang natitirang alak.

"Hah. Hey bast*rd! You don't even ask me why did I decided to end our relationship! You don't even chased me for all these years! You d*mn cr*ppy man! H-how could you say that..." I burst in crying and shouting all alone. I sob. Who cares? I'm in pain people!

"What's with that 'Don't worry, I will not chase you?!' you never tried it even once! how could you... At our first meet you make me feel sh*t. What do you want to say exactly? That this is my fault?! Hah! Then go f*ck up your self! Wait— Did he just say I'm old to roam around? Bakit kasal na ba siya? Wait... Is he married in a year?! How come I didn't know?!" Napatayo ako sa inis. Mariin akong pumikit,

"Colleen you idi*t ofcourse it's my fault. Sino ba naman ang nasa tamang isip pa imbitahan ang ex sa kasal? Tch. Whatever. Ano naman kung single ako habang buhay?! Maganda naman ako!"

Gosh I think there's an earthquake, the surroundings are spinning.

"You never learn your lesson." Something feels so hard. Teka lumutang ako sa ere? Nilingin ko ang pinanggalingan ng pamilya na amoy. A manly scent.

"Baka maubos amoy ko."

"You smell like that j*rk. How unpleasant."

"Hah. Dapat nga magpasalamat ka binalikan kita at binuhat."

"Why... You turn your back for me but I guess it's too late."

"What are you talking about? Eh ikaw nga 'tong tago ng tago."

"Then it's my fault, what now?!" Sinigawan ko siya.

"Buti alam mo. I heard what you have said, you are partly wrong Colleen. I never chase you because I am affraid that if I step forward, you'll step back a hundred times. I will always wait until you come back. I won't let any man go near you, heard that? You are only mine. It's fine kung saan ka gumala, basta sa akin ka uuwi."

"Are you rapping?" Asan na ba kami? Sobrang hilo ko, pinikit ko nalang mga mata ko at nakinig sa kaniya.

"I am just waiting for you always Colleen. Sana ito na ang huli na aalis ka sa akin. If you let me own you, hindi kita papakawalan, d*mn it! mark my vows."

His words gave's me shiver. I wonder if he look sexy even though he's mad. Argh! What am I thinking? The last thing I remember was a soft bed in my back and a warm arms wrapping around my waist.
