Chapter 24: Georgina the Pessimist Fiancee

Georgina's POV...                                                                   

For the past few days, hindi kami masyadong nagkakausap ng maayos ni Ken. Pareho pa rin kaming busy. Laging text na lang at call every now and then.

Pero kahit ganoon pa man, wala namang nagbago sa kanya at sa akin. Pareho pa rin kaming intact sa isa't-isa. Nararamdaman ko pa rin yung 'spark' sa aming dalawa. Hindi naman siya pumapalya sa pagpapakilig. He's still the same old sweet and corny Ken. Not until..

"Ken..ano ba. Kanina ka pa mukhang balisa ah. Ano ba kasi ang problema?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang pinagmamasdan ko ang lukot niyang mukha.

Napabalikwas siya ng kaunti, siguro dahil sa gulat. At ano naman kaya ngayon? Kinakabahan ako ng todo ah. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero masama ang kutob ko.

Hindi maganda ang kaba na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Para bang may maririnig akong hinding-hindi ko magugustuhan.

"George..babe.. I have something to tell you.." Pambibitin niya. He's biting on his trembling lips.

Shit. What is it this time? Is he backing out of our engagement? If it is, I swear I'll die on this instant.

I looked him straight in the eye, his eyes full of agony. They reflect his anxiousness to whatever's troubling him now.

"Sabihin na Ken..wala nang maraming arte. Wag mo nang ibitin pa. Ano ba kasi yun?" Sabi ko na bahagyang naiinis na.

He started fidgeting. His mouth opened to say something, but closed again eventually.

"It's about..it's-it--" He cut off then looked from the window of my condo.

"Ken, sabihin mo na. Ano ba kasi yang sasabihin mo na hindi mo masabi-sabi saken? Good news ba yan?" Tanong ko sa malambing na tono pero di ko pa rin maikakaila na masama ang kutob ko.

Na may pag-aalinlangan pa din ako sa kung anumang bumabagabag sa kanya ngayon at bakit sobrang balisa siya sa kung anumang sasabihin niya na nakukuha pa talaga niyang mabitin sa pagsasalita.

Nabigla ako sa biglaan niyang pagtango at pagpiksi pakaliwa-pakanan ng ulo. Ano yun? Oo na hindi? Good news na hindi? Huh? Ang gulo.

"Was that a nod and a shake of your head meant for me to brace myself for what's I have to hear and know?" I concluded.

He nodded.

This is it. The moment of truth.

"Hindi ko alam kung bad news ba ito o good news. Naguguluhan din ako. Pero dahil ayokong may itinatago sayo babe, sasabihin ko na. Alam kong wala naman akong ginagawang masama pero kapag itinago ko sayo 'to siguradong pagduduhan mo ako at baka yun pa ang maging dahilan ng paghihiwalay natin. Naalala ko pa nga nung sinabi mong kasama mo sa trabaho si Jean. So, in turn I should also be as honest as you are." He said then sighed deeply.

He walked towards me and stopped a few centimeters away. He tipped my chin upwards so I could look up at him.

"Marian's back. I have no idea if it's for good or temporarily. She's back in the Philippines and is now our new CEO. Georgina, please don't look at me like that. She's just back in the country, and not in our lives. Not in my life. I swear." He said sincerely as his fingers trail on my cheeks.

So his ex is back. His ex that made my life a mess way back then. The one who made me think of myself as the loser in the pageant when in fact I was the one who won the crown but still, the one I love and yearning for was with her, smiling at her and caring for her. While I'm on my own pent up dramas in life on how I should get on with my life and not think about Ken.
