His Unloved Wife

29

Athenna's hand tremble as she heard what Sohee asks and Suho was there, right there in front of them. Tinignan ni Athenna si Suho and he was so confuse. Nakasalubong ang dalawang kilay ni Suho at pinapakalma ni Athenna ang sistema niya.

Athenna holds her daughter's hands and show a smile. She can do it. Pero di lubos maisip ni Athenna na mukhang napapadali yata ang paglabas ng katotohanan.

"Baby, you can meet your daddy soon. But he was just busy for now." mahinahong sagot ni Athenna sa tinanong ng anak.

"But he was gone for too long. I want to see him." malumbay na reklamo ni Sohee.

Sohee eyes began to glisten and tears forming to start. Athenna hugged her daughter and lulled her back to sleep. And then Sohee start to snores softly kaya nilapag niya ang anak niya sa couch at sinanggalan ng pillow couch para kahit anong galaw nito ay di ito mahuhulog. Umupo si Athenna ulit sa kinauupuan niya at napagawi ang tingin kay Suho na parang naguguluhan.

"Why is she looking for her father?" biglang tanong ni Suho. Athenna slump her shoulders down.

"Akala ko ba anak niyo siya ni Tyron? Then why is he looking for her father Athenna-ssi?" dagdag na tanong ni Suho. Athenna close her eyes. She didn't thought it would be this fast and wrong timing as she expected.

"Sohee was not Tyron's daughter from the start." mahinang sagot ni Athenna at tinignan si Suho. Narinig niyang tumawa si Suho ng bahagya.

"No! I saw how Tyron claimed the baby a years ago when we met. He was deadly serious. First I just believe that Jongsuk was the father and actually he is not. Tas kinompirma ni Tyron na anak niya ang dinadala mo and then this? Are you full of lies Athenna-ssi?" bakas sa mukha ni Suho ang pagkadismaya at napahinga ng malalim si Athenna. Yes she was already full of lies dahil sa galit niya noon. Yes it was white lies for her to not feel scared that one day Suho will take Sohee away from her. She was lying for herself to make a way on her assumptions na hindi ito magkakatotoo.

"You can go now Suho-ssi." yan lang ang nasabi ni Athenna bilang sagot.

"W-what--"

"You already discover a lot of things today. You can go." Athenna said and she was serious.

Napilitang lumabas si Suho sa opisina ni Athenna at lumabas na ng gusali. He drove back to his company and he let the revealation confuse him.

Nakahinga ng maluwag si Athenna habang nakitang papalayo na ang anino ni Suho. Hindi niya pa kayang sabihin. She can't. Kahit mukhang nagbago si Suho ay di pa siya handang sabihin ang totoo.

She scooped up her daughter and carry her until nakarating sila sa sasakyan niya. Binuksan niya ang sasakyan niya at nilagay sa front seat si Sohee. Hinigpit niya ang seatbelt na nilagay niya sa anak niya bago nagmaneho pauwi.

Pagkadating nila sa bahay ni Johanna at Tyron ay sinalubong siya ng mag asawa. Naipinta sa mukha ni Athenna na parang gulong gulo siya.

"Athenna-ssi? Are you okay?" Tanong ni Johanna at tumango lang siya. Pumasok siya sa silid na tinutuluyan nila ni Sohee at nilapag ang anak niya dun. Inayos niya muna ang hinigaan ni Sohee bago lumabas sa kwarto at sinalubong ang mag asawang nakatingin sa kanya.

"I met Suho this day in the office." mahinang aniya at binagsak ang katawan sa couch habang nakapikit ang mata nito.

"What? What happened?" minulat niya ang mata niya para makita ang mga tingin ni Tyron na may halong pangamba.
