San Vicente 2: Fallacious ✅

CHAPTER 15

DAY 72

"I MUST BE CRAZY." Pabulong niyang sabi sa sarili.

Gustong hampasin ni Bobbie ang sarili as she looked at her almost naked body under the sheets beside Andrew who was just wearing a shirt and his boxers. something must have happened between them last night! Paanong wala kung halos hubad na sila parehas sa kwarto ng lalaki.

How can she not remember that? Imposible naman na makalimutan niya agad yun. Bakit ba naman kasi siya uminom ng ganun kagabi? Bakit ba kasi nalaman pa niya yung kay Adrian? Pero ginusto naman niya diba? Ginusto niyang malaman kung nasaang lupalop ng mundo ang lecheng lalaking yun.

"We found out what he's up to," sabi sa kanya nung kinuha niyang private investigator.

"It's about time." She said. Just the mere thought of hearing about her supposed husband drives her to irritation's end.

"He's with his girlfriend." Parang nabingi siya saglit dahil sa narinig but she was expecting him to be with someone. Adrian's always chasing girls. Sa durasyon ng relasyon nila ay hindi naman siya naging bulag dun. He's even seen some of his escapades. "Ma'am, andyan pa po ba kayo?"

"Ah, oo." She tried to regain her composure. This should not faze her. Ilang beses na ba siyang may pinaalis at pinahiwalay na babae nito. Walang hindi nadadaan sa pera at impluwensiya niya. "Foreigner ba?"

"Inaalam pa namin ma'am kasi kanina lang namin nakita yung babae. Hindi naman mukhang German pero inaalam na namin. Kakarating lang niya sa Germany eh." Sabi nito.

"Let me know immediately okay? Ayaw kong magtagal nanaman to."

"May isa pa ma'am kaming sinisigurado,"

"Ano yun?" She was curious kasi iba ang tunog ng kausap niya. It sounds as if may malaki itong rebelasyon.

"Mukha ho kasing buntis yung babae." Then her phone suddenly fell to the ground. Hindi niya alam kung may sinabi pa ito o wala na. She just stood there and gazed at the open window of her room.

Buntis.

Buntis yung babae ni Adrian. He fathered a child as he ran away from her. He ran so far away just to be with a woman who was with child, his child. In every scenario in her head, her heart ached a bit. It felt as though someone was wringing it slightly. Bakit masakit? Hindi dapat sakit ang maramdaman niya. Dapat galit. Dapat purong galit kasi niloko siya pero bakit masakit?

***

Nabalik lang sa realidad ang pag-iisip niya nang biglang may dumantay na braso sa may bandang tiyan niya. Andrew snuggled closer to her as he sleeps. Her breaths became shallow as she tries to think about everything that is happening around her. One twin broke her heart and the other one is trying to patch it up.

Sino pa ba ang nasa mas magulong sitwasyon kaysa sa kanya? She feels hurt by what Adrian did to her but she's starting to feel warm with everything Andrew does for her. Bakit ba sa dalawang taong magkamukha pa siya nagkakaganito? Baliw ba siya?

"You should sleep here more. Gusto kong nagigising na katabi ka Bobbie." Bulong ni Andrew sa kanya. Gising na pala ito pero nakasiksik pa din sa may bandang balikat niya. His breath feels hot on her shoulder.

Then she remembered their situation again. She can't remember a thing. Malamang ay ang dami nanaman niyang nainom. She has very low alcohol tolerance pero sige pa din siya.

Bobbie remembers raiding Andrew's alcohol cabinet and drinking every single bottle that she saw. Sinamahan din siya nitong uminom kahit na ayaw niyang sabihin kung bakit siya umiinom.
