His Pretty Mess (Editing)

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE (Sorry)

SUNOD-SUNOD na katok ang nakapag pa-bangon kay Tricia mula sa pagkakahiga niya sa malaking couch sa living room. She excitedly opened the door thinking that it was Anton, ngunit nagulat siya ng makitang si Vince iyon.

Mapupungay na matang nakatitig sa kanya at may konting pasa sa gilid ng labi nito ang bumugad sa kanya.

"W-What are you doing here!?" She coldly asked while hugging herself with a jacket.

Vince roamed her background. Mahigpit namang hinawakan ni Tricia ang pintuan. But Vince bossily get inside without any word he said.

"What are you doing here!? Where is Anton?" Naiinis nang tanong ni Tricia ng sundan niya ito.

Hinarap siya ni Vince saka nito iniabot ang isang supot. "How are you? I brought your medicine."

Masungit na tinanggap iyon ni Tricia at naglakad patungo sa kusina."Bakit ikaw ang nag-dala!? Nasaan si Anton!?" She coldly asked while getting a glass of water from the dispenser.

"Do not ask where Anton is!" He fired.

"Umalis kana dito-"

"Umuwi na tayo." He walk towards her.

Hinarap siya ni Tricia matapos uminom ng gamot. "I won't go anymore with you!"

"Ano ba ang ikinagagalit mo? Ano ba ang nagawa kong mali? If It's about Samantha, wala kaming relasyon ni Samantha-"

"Sinungaling!" She exclaimed. "After I saw that bitch in your hotel room!-" She paused.

Hindi mawari ni Vince kung matutuwa ba siya, because it sounds like she is jealous.

"Ang kapal ng mukha ninyong dalawa! Lalo kana! Ang kapal ng mukha mo para lokohin ako, at gamitin ako!? I will sue you!" Puno ng galit nitong sambit kay Vince habang dinuduro pa ito.

He frowned. "Saan mo naman nalaman iyan? Anong ginagamit... Hindi kita ginagamit." Naguguluhan niyang paliwanag.

"Don't deny it! Yung kabit mo mismo nag-sabi sa akin na ginagamit mo lang ako! Kaya ata't kang pakasalan ako noon, dahil gusto mong makuha ang buong kompanya ng daddy ko! Ginamit mo ko para makakuha ka ng pera sa daddy ko!" Hindi na napigilan ni Tricia ang kanyang luha dahil sa sama ng loob.

"Tricia, nagkakamali ka.. Lilinawin ko lang sayo, hindi ko kabit si Samantha dahil wala kaming relasyon nun!" Paliwanag niya rito, he try to caught her hands pero iniwas iyon ni Tricia habang nakasandal na ang likuran nito sa counter table dahil sa pag-lapit ni Vince. "Hindi totoo lahat ng sinabi niya sayo, hindi kita ginagamit.. Sinisiraan lang niya ako sayo dahil matagal nang may gusto sa akin si Samantha." Tila problemadong paliwanag niya. Nanatili namang nakikinig si Tricia sa kanya but not looking at him.

"Oo, totoo pinakasalan kita dahil sa business agreement namin ni Tito Jose. But that's because I like you that time and I wanted so bad to pursue you, pero mukhang wala ka namang interes sa akin." They're now both calm. "Sabihin na nating disperado ako, but because I want you. Kahit ubusin ko pa ang pera ko, magpakasal ka lang sa akin Tricia, gagawin ko..." Itinukod ni Vince ang isang kamay sa gilid ni Tricia sa counter table, at ang isang kamay ay akmang aabutin ang kamay ni Tricia ng tapikin siya nito and she hug herself while silently crying.

"Don't touch me!"

He just look at her at hindi na muli sumubok na hawakan si Tricia. "Kahit kausapin mo pa ang abogado ko, si Atty. Ledesma. Hindi ko kinuha ang pera ninyo o ang kompanya niyo. I don't want to say this, pero dahil iba ang pinaniniwalaan mo ay sasabihin ko sayo... The truth is, I put your name in our merged company. Pinangalan ko sa asawa ko lahat ng assests ko, including our companies and my other lands, at walang iba kundi sayo because you're my wife.. your my own family... you're my everything Patricia." He smile bitterly, habang nakatungo at nakatingin sa sahig.

Nanatiling tahimik si Tricia, suminghot siya at inirapan si Vince. "I will still sue you with your mistress!" Inis niyang sambit dito.

Hindi mawari ni Vince pero bigla nalang siya napangiti, but he hide his smile. "You can't do that because we don't have any relationship. Oo dun natutulog sa hotel room ko si Samantha-"

"And you had sex with her?!"

"Ofcourse not!" depensa kaagad ni Vince. "Fully book na kasi ang hotel nang resort na venue ng convention namin, dahil maraming turista rin at mga co-businessman ko kaya nakiusap siya na makituloy nalang sa nakuha kong hotel room since nauna ako, and it's room for two person." Paliwanag niya.

She rolled her eyes. "What a lame excuses Vince! You can't fool me."

"Walang nangyari sa amin, maniwala ka... Hindi ko rin naman hahayaan ang sarili ko na gumawa ng kasalanan dahil alam kong may asawa ako. Mahal ko ang asawa ko, kahit hindi niya ako mahal..." He paused for awhile while just staring at her. "Hindi ko siya kayang lokohin." He calmly said.

You're jealous Tricia... Dagdag pa ng kanyang isip na lihim na natutuwa.

"Why the hell she's with you and used your phone!?" She look up to him with a glare. "Nag-usap kayo noh? That you will be together!? Business trip ba talaga ang pinunta mo Vince?!"

"Hind ko alam na pinakialaman niya ang cellphone ko. And yes business trip nga ang pinunta ko, you think I'll leave you just for nothing?!" He sighed and slowly hold Tricia's hand and gladly she let him. "Nandun lang talaga si Samantha dahil business man ang daddy niya, nagulat na nga lang ako na siya ang umattend ng business trip infact it should be her father."

Unti-unting napangiti si Vince ng makita ang nakabusangot parin ang mukha ng asawa. He squeeze her hand, at dun lang niya napag-tanto na mainit ito at siguro'y epekto ng allergy ito. He touched her forehead. "Mainit ka. Ganito ka pala mag-selos?" He teased and laugh a bit.

Kaagad namang tinapik ni Tricia ang kamay ni Vince. "I'm not jealous!"

"I'm sorry if I make you mad at me, kung ano pa man ang ikinagagalit mo na nagawa ko, humihingi ako ng tawad... Just please don't leave me again, Tricia." Malambing niyang tugon dito and he caress her cheek, hinahayaan naman ito ni Tricia. "Mag-pahinga kana. We'll go home tomorrow." He planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "I love you..." He whispered, saka niya ito tinalikuran.

Vince heard her sniff as he was about to walk towards the door.

"V-Vince..." He heard her said kaya nilingon niya ito. He saw some tears on her eyes and as the moment that he faced her ay tumakbo ito patungo sa kanya and she cling on his neck to hug him.

"I'm sorry..." She sob on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Vince..."

Pakiramdam ni Vince ay may kung anong humaplos sa kanyang puso. He sneak his arms around her waist and hug her more tightly.

"Hush... You don't have to say sorry, Tricia." He muttered.

She finally face him while still clinging her arms on his neck, they stared at each other's eyes. Vince can't help to smile as he wiped her tears.

"Mahal din kita Vince." She said with full of sencerity, and with another tears fall from her eyes.

Vince was a bit shocked. Hindi mapawi ang mga ngiti niya. "Talaga?"

She nodded and finally smile at him.

"Can you say it again?"

Bigla namang umasim ang mukha ni Tricia, saka inirapan si Vince.

He chuckled. "Malay ko ba, if you're just playing with me just like what you always do."

She rolled her eyes. "I love you Vince. Is that clear?" She sexily said as she tightly hold on his nape.

He caressed her waist, saka pinagtukod ang kanilang noo habang nakatitig sa isa't-isa. "Klarong-klaro!" And he sealed her lips with a sensual kiss that takes longer.
