Obsession #2: The Mafia Lord's Property

Chapter 16

Narinig ko ang yabag ni Ales na papalabas.

"Trevore. I think i should go too. Marami pa akong gagawin---"

"Dito ka lang."

"Pero hindi pa ako nakakapag breakfast."

"Then we'll eat together."

"Per---"

"No more words. My decision is final."

Naramdaman ko ang paggalaw niya. Tatayo na sana ako nang pigilan niya ako. "I'll carry you." At sa isang iglap ay nakaangat na ako't karga karga niya.

"You're heavy..." Nahihirapan niyang turan.

"Trevore. Ibaba mo na ako." Pakiusap ko sakanya but he just ignored.

"Trevore---"

"Malapit na tayo Rie. We're just a few feet away from the kitchen. Just let me do these things. I am your husband and its my will and responsibility to serve you as my queen." My breathing hitched after he said those words.

Masyado kang Pa-fall Trevore. Don't you know that? Pinapalimot mo talaga sa akin ang mga kasalanan mo.

I wanted to shout at him. Hit him hard until my hand bleeds. But i am immobile at this very moment. Tanging ang malakas na pagtibok ng puso ko at ng puso niyang malapit sa aking tenga ang naririnig ko.

Dug
Dug
Dug
Dug...

I followed the rhythm of the beat of my heart. It's malfunctioning I think.

Ang bilis, hindi ko mapigilang hindi humabol ng hininga dahil sa tibok ng aking puso.

"I wish...this would never last..."

Narinig kong bulong niya. Ang alin? Itong scenario ba?

"I wish it would." Hindi ko napigilang ibulalas. Naramdaman kong napatigil siya at parang nanginig ang katawan niya. I look up to him.

Nakita kong parang nasaktan siya sa sinabi ko.

I bit my lip to prevent myself from spilling another unwanted words.

"It's what you'd been wishing eversince." He said in a faint voice.

Nanatili na lamang akong nakakagat labi hanggang sa paupuin niya ako sa silya.

Tatayo na sana ako nang pigilan niya ako. "Just stay put. I'll just prepare our breakfast."

Lumapit sakanya si Nanang Cenya na kanina pa nakatayo sa gilid ng ref. Nagpresinta ito na ito na raw ang maghahain. But Trevore didn't allow Nanang to interfere. Pinalabas na muna niya si Nanang katulad ng ginawa niya kay Ales.

"You shouldn't be doing this..."

"But I can and I would."

Inilapag niya ang platong may lamang fried rice at Bacon then stared at me keenly. "Just for this moment Rie. Act like a real wife to me. Masyado mo na akong pinapahirapan. Can you at least do my plead not as a favor but as my wife."

I stared back at him. Ilang minuto rin siguro bago ako tumango.

A sudden flash of emotion triumphantly radiates from his face. He seems contented and...happy.

"Thankyou..."

Kasalukuyan akong nanonood ng palabas sa Flat screen T.V. ni Trevore nang biglang may pumasok na tatlong lalaki.
