Shattered Memories - Chapter 16

Chapter Sixteen

The next day, Ishi found herself standing nearby the window, staring into trance as she tries to sort things out on her puzzled mind. Napatitig siya sa mug ng kape na lumamig na dahil hiniyaan lang niya itong palipasan ng oras. Sinadya niya iyon dahil sa pagiging dilang-pusa niya, her tongue couldn't bear hot foods nor drinks. Wala sa sariling sumimsim siya rito habang nakatitig pa rin sa kawalan. Nang umingit ang pinto sa kaniyang likuran ay kusa siyang napabaling dito.

Mula roon ay pumasok si Robert. His fingers were fumbling with the buttons of his polo. Naglakad ito tungo sa damitan nito saka tuluyang hinubad ang suot nitong pang itaas, sunod ay ang suot nitong slacks. He stood there only wearing his underwear. And Ishi stared as much as she liked. She admired his broad shoulders, pati puwit nito ay pinagkatitigan niya. Ooh la la, sexy back. Her husband is a really good catch. May pera ito at may hitsura. Pero may angas din ito, kaya siguro ito lapitin ng iba, kaya rin siguro nito nakukuha mambabae. Typical bad boy lang ang dating.

"Hey babe," biglang lingon nito habang isinusuot nito ang itim na t-shirt nito.

"H-Hey..." Napaayos si Ishi at itinaas ang tingin sa mga mata nito.

Robert approached her after he was done changing his clothes. Kinintalan siya nito ng halik sa noo saka siya niyakap mula sa likuran. "Kamusta ang araw mo? Hindi ka ba nabagot habang wala ako?" tanong nito habang ibinabaon ang mukha sa leeg ni Ishi.

Napahugot ng malalim na hininga si Ishi sa pagkakadaiti ng kanilang mga balat. His lips pressed to her neck sent waves of tingling sensation through her nerves, and it took a great deal of effort for her not to close her eyes and savor the feeling. "You know Robert... I've been thinking."

"Hmmm, about what?"

"About us." Marahan siyang iniharap ng kaniyang asawa upang magtama ang kanilang mga mata. "I want to give our relationship a shot. You know, our marriage."

Malapad na napangiti si Robert. "That's good, that's good."

"Pero, gusto ko pag-usapan muna natin 'to. I don't think you understand me very well, gano'n din naman ako sa'yo. Sa tingin ko parehas nating hindi naiintindihan ang isa't isa. Maybe I was in love with you before I had an accident, pero iba na ngayon. Wala akong matandaan."

Kumunot ang noo ni Robert. "Siyempre alam ko 'yan."

"No. Alam mo nga pero I don't think you really understand. Wala talaga akong matandaan. Lalo na sa'yo, you are practically a stranger to me. Hindi kita kilala. I don't even know when you were born, I don't know who your parents are. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang paborito mong kulay, kung ano ang zodiac sign mo... kilala lang kita sa pangalan. Do you realize that? And you... you are forcing me to---"

"To what?"

"To love you, to have sex with you!" she exclaimed with wide eyes.

Robert exhaled deeply. "Sit," he said as he pats the window ledge.

Masunurin namang sumunod si Ishi at umupo roon. Si Robert naman ay pumuwesto sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga hita saka ito magaan na humawak sa kaniyang baywang.

"Continue."

"'Yun nga. You are forcing me. If we want to make things work out, we should make love not rape."

Tumangu-tango si Robert, saka ito ngumiti ng pilyo. "But I've missed you."

Napabuntung-hininga si Ishi. "Oo nga, pero hindi dapat ganito. I am willing to cooperate kaya makinig ka muna sa akin. About what happened to me, you've been very honest. Sinabi mo sa akin ang nangyari bago pa ako magka-amnesia. I think I should spill out the things that I'm keeping from you. I... I like Delvert," she bit her lip after she said those words.
