Chapter 09 - My Future Wife

Chapter Nine
"My Future Wife"
Dani Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

After that incident, Theo and I started having an intimate connection. Parang gumagaan ang loob namin sa isa't-isa. It just feels like the two of us has that certain connection kapag malapit kami sa isa't-isa although we rarely talk, I can't help it but I think I'm starting to fall in love with his silence.

Pagkatapos ng aming morning class, niyaya ako ni Theo na kumain sa labas dahil daw namiss na niya ang mga fastfood. At first I was hesitant dahil ilang buwan na ako na hindi nakakapunta sa mga matataong lugar except sa school, kasi palagi lang naman akong nasa school at kung sabado at linggo nasa bahay lang ako. Theo can go out whenever he wants dahil 'di naman siya hinihigpitan. Ako lang kasi ang may limit sa lahat ng bagay na ginagawa ko.

During the course of five months, I noticed I was changing. I don't really talk often, and I realised I like to hide myself inside my room and I know this isn't healthy anymore.

I stopped wearing my wig too dahil mahaba na ang buhok ko at medyo lumagpas na ito sa balikat ko. I got used to my diet na rin.

"Tulala ka na naman?" Theo noticed my silence. "You've been acting like that for the past few weeks." He added. I know he doesn't really care about how I feel, he was just trying to stop the silence na nagpapalibot sa loob ng sasakyan niya.

And you know what? I got used to his bipolarity too.

"Ah, No." i answered. "I'm just tired." I lied.

I know I am not tired dahil palagi akong natutulog but I don't want him to ask me questions because I'll start thinking that he might be worried about me again. "Okay." Sagot nito at nakatingin parin sa daan.

The car stopped while we wait for the traffic light dahil medyo naging traffic sa daan papunta sa lugar na gustong kainan ni Theo. "Nakapunta ka na ba dito?" Tanong ko nalang sa kaniya bigla. Kasi hindi pa ako nakapunta dito.

He just nodded whilst looking at the street, he was tapping the stirring wheel with his fingers. Mahahaba ang kamay nito at medyo may ugat na lumalabas pag may force siya na binibigay. I just examined his hands. I find it sexy.

"Palagi akong dinadala dito ni Lolo 'pag may time siya and I kinda missed the food here so I wanted to eat here." He answered, nagsimula na namang gumalaw ang sasakyan nito at nakarating na rin kami sa isang strip mall na maraming establishments na nakahilera.

Malapit din ito sa dagat.

Naunang lumabas si Theo ng sasakyan at pinagbuksan nito ako. Paglabas ko he locked his car immediately and we searched for a restaurant to eat.

We went inside this seafood house. At umupo na kami sa isang VIP section, since kilala naman ang pamilya niya dito. Kaya nagkaroon ng special treatment. Theo started searching for the menu, at napatingin ito sa akin kasi hindi ako naghanap ng pagkain ko.

"You're going to starve yourself?" He asked.

"Alam mo na hindi ako puwedeng kumain ng kung anu-ano diba?" I retorted. Napailing lang ito. And he called the waiter, at sinabi ang gusto niyang kainin at umalis rin naman ito.

"Tayo lang naman ang nandito. No one will know. Go ahead and find something." Utos nito sa akin, still in his cold tone. He started scanning through his phone still with his usual stoic face.
