His Promises

CHAPTER 25

Special

Tell me that I didn't put myself in a situation where I'm gonna look stupid pretending like I didn't know anything. Seriously, what kind of surprise is this given to me tonight? The dumbest yet the right thing I think is right to do, is to run away and leave, to save myself. I wonder what's he thinking while he's staring at me right now. Wait, why do I even care? That's a stupid question.

I couldn't remember when's the last time I saw his face. I almost forgot that he existed. If not only he reminds me today that he still does.

"Do you want to eat something or grab some drinks?" Oh God. My savior. I badly want to get my ass out of here.

"Yeah. I'd love to" i breathe of relief. Hinawakan niya ako sa braso para alalayan paalis doon.

"Hey uh. Can I have an autograph for my books?" Lumingon ulit ako nang may pahabol pa si Kimberly. I forced my lips to form a smile as I looked at her.

"You can attend her book signing this Saturday if you want to" sir edu answered for me.

"Sure, i will." Hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang lalaking katabi niya na nakatingin ngayon sa kamay ni sir edu sa braso ko. I just rolled my eyes and turned my back to them.

After he cheated on me before with Julia, now he's hooking up with a model which happened as sir edu's cousin and a fan of mine. Great coincidence. Ganito na siya kalala ngayon. Collecting whores. Sorry to call that girl a whore but she really looks like one. Kung paano siya pumulupot at dumikit kay Hilton while we're there infront of them. I'm not jealous. The hell of that guy. Wala na siyang epekto saakin ngayon, no

"Isn't that your husband? You're not together anymore?" Sir edu asked curiously. Kumuha ako ng maiinom na wine. Sumandal kami pareho sa lababo sa likuran namin. Nasa may kusina kami dahil dito ang part na medyo malayo sa ingay.

"No. We parted ways two years ago." Sagot ko na parang wala na lang saakin yun, which is the truth anyway.

"Part ways, means not husband and wife anymore?"

"Yup"

"Then why are you still using his last name on your every papers? You didn't try to file an annulment?" Tanong niya na siyang ikinagulat ko. That hits me. Nga naman. Kahit anong tago ko sa kaniya. Kahit anong galit ko. I will be always connected to him cause we're still married. I still have his last name with me.

How am I supposed to think about the annulment papers before when I was completely devastated about him?

"Di ko na naisip dahil sa mga pangyayari noon. Probably ngayon, mag file na ako"

"Well. You'll need his cooperation to that"

"Yeah, I know" bumuga ako ng hangin at napaisip ng malalim.

Why does it feels heavy? Sir edu's right. How can I move on completely if there's no annulment that happened? I'm still bound to him whatever the hell I do. Mabigat din sa loob ko ang isiping magfa-file kaming dalawa ng annulment. I mean, hindi ko ito naisip noon pa man. Na darating kami sa puntong kukuha ng lawyer para tapusin ang kung ano mang meron saamin.

"Can you cook?" Nilingon ko si sir at nasa harap siya ngayon ng kanilang kalan. May mga nakahanda pala doong tinadtad na manok at mga pangsahog.

"Yes po" nagtataka kong sagot. Lumapit ako sakaniya at tiningnan ang ginagawa nito.

"Kaya mo ba itong lutuin? Susunduin ko lang ng mabilis si dad para makilala mo din. Ayos lang ba sayo?" Nahihiya pa siya na ipasa saakin ang sandok na hawak. Ako na ang kumuha nito. Magaling na kaya ako magluto. Sa tuwing nasa bahay namin ako sa Chicago ay pagluluto ang naging hobby ko bukod sa pagsusulat. Nakakawala ito ng stress at nadi-distract ako.
