Undefined Amour

Part Five

Yerisan Sky

Months passed, we're now closer to each other. Paminsan-minsan ay nakikitulog kami sa kuwarto ng isa't isa without any malice which is what I like. Evesince kasi, I always wanted to have a gay friend, and now I have one! Bonus pa ang pagiging husband ko sa kaniya sa papel.

"Timo!" I called him as I go down the stairs, I was fixing my skirt kaya hindi ko siya nililingon.

"Yes?" I heard him answered.

"I'll be home late. Don't lock the door ha? Last time, nilockan mo ako." Then I looked at him, nasa may pintuan pala siya ng kusina. I heard him laugh.

"I'm sorry okay? Wala ka naman kasing pasabi na you'll be home late that time. Anyway, goodmorning!" Inirapan ko na lang siya at lumapit sa may dining table.

"Goodmorning to you too. Teka, bakit ang dami mo namang niluto?"

"Ofcourse, gusto kong busog ka kapag pumunta sa office." I chuckled as I heard him say that.

"Wow, ang wife material." Natatawa kong sabi at nagsimulang magsandok.

"Che!" At bumalik na siya ulit sa may sink. Mukhang may niluluto pa siyang ibang putahe.

"Ang dami mo talagang niluto, tapos magluluto ka ulit. May bisita ka 'no?" Humarap siya sa akin hawak ang kutsilyo na kaniyang gamit.

"Actually meron, a little celebration lang naman. 6th monthsary namin ni Kyro." With what he said, I could feel my heart breaking. Bakit ganon?

"A-Ah ganon ba? Congrats! Ang tagal niyo na pala." I faked smiled kasi ewan ko, ang sakit ng puso ko.

"Yep! I'm glad na umabot ng 6 months, this is the first time." I can see how happy he is in his eyes.

"S-Sus! Anyway, I have to go, solo niyo ang bahay pero huwag masyado maingay ha?" Then I drank water at tumayo na, I was about to walk out nang tawagin ako ni Timo.

"Wait! You haven't finished you breakfast yet." Then he pouted. I smiled, ang cute!

"Ang dami ko pa naman niluto kasi I don't want you to be hungry. You often get hangry pa naman."

"Hangry?"

"Angry when hungry." I laughed at his joke at humarap sa kaniya.

"Gaga! I won't okay? And besides, I'm already full and I'll be late at work. See you nalang mamaya okay? Enjoy ka!" Then I waved goodbye and left the house.

Napabuntong hininga ako nang makasakay ako sa kotse. My heart is breaking and I don't know why. I got my phone and called Gerald.

"Hey babe," bungad niya sa aking tawag.

"Hey, I'll be in the office anytime now."

"Okay, wait, are you driving? Kasi if yes, I'll turn the call off." Alalang sabi niya sa akin. Napangiti naman ako dahil doon.

"Nope, I am not yet driving. Basta see you."

"Okay bye, I love you and see you!" Napangiti na lang ako at pinatay ang tawag.

Muli akong bumuntong hininga bago ko istart ang makina. Bago ko pa mapaandar ang kotse ay may kumatok sa may window sheild ko. Nilingon ko naman kung sino iyon.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita ko si Timo na may dala pang spatula. He smiled at me and lifted his hand na hawak ang isang paper bag. Binaba ko ang window sheild and his smile got even bigger.

"Since hindi ka naman kumain ng madami, I packed some food for you." Sabay abot sa akin 'nung paper bag.

"Kainin mo 'yan ha? I'll make tampo if you don't." Paconyo na sabi niya sa akin. I smiled and nodded.

"I will."

"Owkaaaaay, ingat ka ha? Bye!" I rolled the window sheild and started driving. Tumitingin ako sa rearview mirror and I could see him waving a goodbye.

My heart is happy now.

°°°°

Dumating ako sa office and everyone greeted me. Medyo late lang ako ngayon which is new.

"Goodmorning Ma'am." Halos lahat ay ganiyan ang bati sa akin. I nod at them and continued walking.

"Hey babe, goodmorning." Gerald greeted me with a smile habang nakaabang siya sa labas ng office ko.

"Hey..." taning nasabi ko at ngumiti. He then guided me all the way to my office.

"So how was your morning?" Tanong agad sa akin ni Gerald nang maupo siya sa sofa.

"Ayos lang naman, like the usual, how about you?" Ang casual diba? This is how we greet everyday. Hindi sweet.

"Same, but mom knocked outside my door this morning. Napadaan sa bahay. She was asking me kung kailan daw tayo magpapakasal." Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Everyone knows I'm married.

"Huh? Diba napag-usapan na natin 'yon? At saka Tita Ely knows it naman diba?" He nodded and crossed his legs in a manly way.

"I know, evryone knows. Kahit nga ang relasyon natin ay alam ng lahat. Bakit ba kasi ayaw mo pa mag-file ng annulment? Don't you want us to be married?" Napantig ang tenga ko sa kaniyang sinabi.Here we go again.

"Gerald, you know the reason." Tanging nasagot ko sa kaniya at naghalungkat na ng mga papeles.

"Ah oo nga pala, you're married to him because of the company. Well breaking news Yeri, I am richer than him." I rolled my eyes before facing him.

"That's not the point Gerald. Alam mong matagal na kaming pinagkasundo, mula pa sa mga lolo namin. I don't want my grandfather to be disappointed at me dahil hindi ako tumupad sa pangako." Bumuntong hininga naman si Gerald bago tumayo.

"I know that Yeri. It's just that natatakot ako. Ako ang dehado e, siya may pinanghahawakan tapos anong palag ko?"

"Please Gerald, ipaubaya mo na sa akin iyon."

"Pero Yeri, para sa ating dalawa 'yon. Para sa future natin." Bumuntong hininga muli ako at umiwas ng tingin.

"Alam ko, pero not this time okay?" Nakita ko sa peripheral view ko ang pagbagsak ng balikat niya

"I-I'll be in my office." He then left my alone. I could feel my heart being heavy. Anytime now ay alam kong iiyak ako.

And now, I am crying. I really don't knoww what to do. I left my paperworks hanging and cried all day.
