Married to Unknown

XLV.

"Scary, twinnie." I mastered my sarcasm and smirked. Alam kong nakikita niya ako.

"You don't want to test my patience."

"You don't want to test me." I snarled. Ayokong ipakita sa kanya na mahina ako sa sitwasyong ito. I need to keep up my cool facade to lure her out of her comfort zone.

"Really huh? Scary, twinnie." She micmicked my phrase.

"I'm bored, spill your fucking game already." Once and for all, I want to end this. Ako yung napapagod sa pinaggagagawa niya.

"Na-ah-uh the game has long started."

"What?"

"Why don't you ask him?"

Automatically, the door opened revealing the only person I trust the most, the only person I love, the only person who's my weakness yet my strength. Luc Hamilton.

Lumapit siya sa akin at tinanggal niya ang pagkakakatali kamay at paa ko. I don't know how dahil may kadena nga ito pero ang mabuti ay nakahinga ako ng maluwag ngayong nandito na siya. I know he won't let anyone hurt me.

Tumayo ako at hinila ko siya sa kamay pero napatigil ako nang hindi siya gumalaw as if may hinihila akong pader.

What the heck is wrong with him?

"Gusto mo bang mamatay tayo dito? Hindi mo alam kung ilan ang kampon ni Ni--"

"I told you...why don't you ask him?"

Natigilan ako. Ask him? Tinitigan ko siya sa mukha. Searching for answers but his face remains impassive. For the first time, I can't read him. Maybe si Logan 'tong kaharap ko? This can't be Luc. Sinubukan ko siyang hawakan sa mukha kaso mabilis niya itong hinawakan.

"Don't." He snarls. I was shocked. May gusto akong itanong pero hindi ko maibuka ang bibig ko.

What are you doing?

I tried to communicate with my eyes but his was blank. Come on, alam kong may binabalak si Luc sa likod nito kaso hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isipan niya ngayon.

Pumikit ako saglit. Kinakalma ko ang sarili ko at pilit kong inayos ang ngiti ko. Keep it cool.

"Okay." I will just follow what she said, ask him. "What's the f.cked up game?"

He hates it when I'm cursing at nakita ko iyon sa reaksyon niya pero saglit lang. I knew it. He has something in mind.

"You are." He answered hardhanded.

Pinilit kong hindi magpa-apekto. Just by the judgement of his voice, his answer contains nothing but the truth.

"The whole thing being married to unknown is the f.cked up game, love." I tried to fight back my tears. Napansin ko na hindi na niya gamit ang kanyang singsing. He was far away from the image of my husband. This man in front of me is foreign.

"A-Anong ib-ibig mong sabihin?"

I tried to hold his hand but he squats it away. Bakit? Kanina naman ayos kami pero bakit ganito? I trust him so much at hindi ako papayag na ganito lang. We've been through so many obstacles and the faith we have in each other grew stronger by each day tapos mawawala nalang ng biglaan ngayon? No, I can't let that happen. Kung ano man ang plano ni Nicca ngayon, ako mismo ang tatapos.

"Luc my loves." What the? "Bakit hindi mo siya dalhin sa mga kaibigan niya at nang magkaalaman na?"

Ako na ang sumagot. "Wala ka bang balak lumabas diyan sa pinagtataguan mo?"
