His Secretary (Completed)

19

Hindi malaman ni Yassie kung ano ang kanyang gagawin habang naliligo ang asawa.

Behave Yassie.

Sabi pa niya sa sarili ng tila hindi humihinto ang kanyang puso sa napakabilis na tibok niyon.

Is it because of  the rain?

Marahil, lagi naman kasi silang nagtatabi sa pag tulog kaya naman hindi niya alam kung bakit kabang kaba siya.

Halos mapalundag pa siya ng marinig ang pagbukas ng pinto ng banyo.

God.

She was just wearing a robe and nothing else inside. Bakit ba naman kasi kahit panloob niya ay nabasa ng malakas na ulan?

Napalunok pa siya ng makitang nakaroba lang din ang asawa habang pinapatuyo nito ang sariling buhok ng tuwalya.

"Dry up your hair, Yassie. Then let's sleep. Uuwi agad tayo bukas ng umaga.".

Wala sa sariling tumango siya at kinuha ang dryer na nakasabit sa tabi ng tokador na nandoon.

He has his phone in his hands checking his emails. Kahit wala sa office ay napakabusy ng boss.

Hindi man lang siya nilingon ng lalaki ng matapos tuyuin ang buhok ay tinabihan niya ito.

"Uhm boss.", he raised an eyebrow and looked at her. She smiled. "Hanggang dito ba namn kasi nagtatrabaho ka pa rin.", aniya. Ngunit nagkamali ata siya ng punahin ito sa ginagawa dahil inilock nito ang phone at inilagay sa lamesita sa tabi ng kama. What now? Ginusto mo yan? sabi niya sa sarili.

She cleared her throat. It's now or never.

"I have a question.".

He looked at her with his straight face kaya naman kinabahan siyang muli. Huminga muna siya ng malalim at buong lakas niyang tinanong.

"Do you.. Did you already develop any ", she gulped. "feelings for me?".

He froze with an unusual reaction written on his face. Ganun pala ito pag nagugulat.

May ilang segundo pa itong nakatitig sa kanya bago siya nito binigyan ng isang matamis na ngiti.

"What if I say yes?", he answered her question with another question that made her pout her lips.

"Ang daya, nauna kong nagtanong eh.".

Lumawak ang ngiti ng lalaki na nagpabilis ng tibok ng kanyang puso. Kung lagi siguro tong ngingiti, marami siyang makakaaway na babae?

"Yes, of course, I like you.".

Her heart beat was so hard with his revelation. Parang naririnig na nga niya ang lakas ng tibok ng puso niya sa tainga niya. Bahagyang pa siyang napatunganga sa lalaki at hindi makapaniwala. Pero teka. It's just "like" right? She herself can like anybody. She sighed.

"Hindi yung like na kasi masunurin akong secretary or what. Okay?".

He chuckled and touched her hair.

"I know what you mean.", he started gently. "I like you as a man to a woman in a romantic way, I will not marry you if I don't, baby.".

"Serious?", she exclaimed after a while of being stunned.

"Yes.", he seriously uttered.

She pouted again, still in doubt. "Parang hindi naman.".

His forehead creased with her words in a tone that made him looked offended. "Why?". He asked.

Pero parang hindi naman kasi talaga.

Be honest. Aniya sa sarili.

"Kasi naman,", she scratched her neck in so much tension and cleared her throat as she speak "wala namang nagbago sa treatment mo sakin. You're still a boss, pag nasa bahay tayo, halos nagtatrabaho pa rin naman tayo. Parang nasa office lang. Bukod sa ilang tanong sagot, ni hindi tayo nag-uusap. Lalo na pag nasa office. Almost a month na tayong mag-asawa, pero parang ilag na ilag ka lagi sakin. Ikaw ang nagsabi na walang divorce  na mangyayari, but until now, parang employer and employee pa rin ang relationship natin. These past few days were even worst, para akong may sakit na kung ano. Iniiwasan mo ba ko? Or maybe you already realized that this is a big mistake and you want out kaso di mo alam kung pano sasabihin?",

Tumigil siya sa pagsasalita  ng makitang nakangiti ang asawa na tila nag eenjoy sa pakikinig sa kanya.

"I'm serious.", medyo naiirita niyang sabi.

"This is the first time you speak up. Am I neglecting my wife?", he murmured and moved a little bit closer.

The level of her tension and the speed of her heart beat risen. Palapit ng palapit ang lalaki na halos isang dangkal na lang ang pagitan ng kanilang mga mukha.

Lalo siyang kinabahan ng tumingin sa kanya ng seryoso ang asawa.

"You're asking for trouble, wife.", he hoarsely said.

In just one swift move, she saw herself being pinned down by her husband in the bed. Him on top of her with burning emotions in his eyes.

Sobra siyang nabigla sa pagpapalit ng emosyon ng lalaki.

She can feel fear but still anticipating his next move.

His desire is reflecting in his eyes. Nagtagal pa ang titig nito sa kanyang mukha. Sa kanyang mga mata, ilong at mas tumagal pa sa kanyang labi

"You don't know how much I want you , wife. I'm painfully restraining my self to touch you. You lying beside me in everyday without making you mine is pure hell.", tila nahihirapan nga nitong sinabi.

She gasped and can't move. The warmth in his eyes was so strong that it melted the wall she built to protect her heart. She's ready, she knew that this day would come.  This day that she will give up to her husband's charm.

Ngunit bago pa man siya magsalita ay nagbuntong hiningang umalis mula sa ibabaw niya ang lalaki.

Wait what?

"Why?".

Lumingon muli ang lalaki at ngumiti.

Umiling ito.

"Let's rest. Maaga pa tayo bukas.".

Ouch. Anong nangyari?

Umupo siya at hindi makapaniwalang tinignan ang lalaki na noon ay umayos na ng higa nito.

Padabog siyang humiga sa pinakagilid ng kama at tumalikod sa asawa. She was hurt. They already kissed, He was sweet. All that happened in the first week of their marriage. But he became so distant.. cold. Kanina lang muli tila ito nagbigay ng atensyon sa kanya.

Hindi naman pala totoo. Kung talagang gusto siya nito, di naman to makakatiis na di siya hawakan right? Her married friends told her that their husbands can't get enough of them. Pero ang asawa niya? Mas malamig pa sa yelo.

Maganda naman siya at sexy. Baka naman hindi yung mga tulad niya na baby face ang type nito?

She sighed.

Nakatulog siya ng naghihimutok at mas lumala iyon ng gumising siyang wala ang asawa sa tabi.

Fine.
