Treacherous Battle (Salvaje Caballero Series 2)

Treinta y Cuatro

"Yun na yun? No explanation? For fuck's sake, I am you fucking husband!"

"Nathan...please."

"Kazee naman. Kailan mo ba ako kayang ipaglaban?"

I hugged him...so tight. My tears pooled endlessly. "Jairo and I were done... He wanted to be with me...before he go back to Paris.."

"Nothing..happened. We ended our relationship with peace.." I mumbled.

"I was so fucking worried!"

"Both of you were fucking unattended! Hindi ko alam kung saan kita hahanapin!"

"I'm...sorry." I whispered and hugged him tighter.

"Let me cool my head... Please...I'm so mad." sambit niya at inalis ang pagkayakap ko sa kanya. Dumiretso siya sa kanyang kwarto nang hindi lumingon.

I sighed. Napatingin ako sa mga linuto ko at mas nasaktan nang hindi iyon nagalaw. I cooked dinner for him...but he's cold as ice. I know it's my fault. He was worried.. I never told him where will I go. Kahit naman sino magagalit sa ginawa ko.

Pagkatapos magbihis ng pantulog ay tinahak ko ng daan patungo sa kanyang kwarto. When I opened his door, he was already lying on his bed. He's facing opposite so I can see the view of his massive back.

I walked slowly and carefully... trying not to wake him up if he's already sleeping.

Nahiga ako sa tabi niya pero hindi siya gumalaw... He's already sleeping?

I inhaled sharply and moved towards him. I hugged him behind his back, I can hear his heavy deep sighs..

"S-sorry." I mumbled and hugged him tighter.

He moved a bit and sighed. "I..l-love you. I hope you know that." I whispered.

I felt him stiffened a bit. Nang gumalaw siya at hinarap ako ay sumalubong sa aking ang mga matang minahal ko noon.

His eyes were filled with care...love and longing..

"I was..so worried."

Napapikit ako nang hinaplos niya ang pisngi ko ng sobrang marahan. "Ni hindi ako nakatulog sa kahahanap sayo."

"I..was so fucking mad." Bulong niya.

"S-sorry."

He sighed and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "Please...don't do that again."

I nodded like a kid and buried my head on his chest. I heard how fast his hearbeats...

"I won't."

"Let's sleep."

"I love you." I mumbled.

"I love you too." he whispered back and brushed my hair.

And we spent the night hugging each other. That when I realized wherever I go, I will always come back to his arms. To where I belong, to where I feel secured..and to where my happiness lies. He's my safe haven.

I woke up feeling light and peace.. Nang mapatingin sa katabi ay agad akong napangiti. I softly brushed his hairs and caressed his cheeks.

I wanted to wake him up but I was in awe just by staring at him. My eye widened when the side of his lips risen. It's even brighter than the sun.

"Ang tamis naman ng titig na yan."

Parang namula ako dahil sa sinabi niya. Pero di kalaunan ay sumilay din ang ngiti sa aking labi.

"Natikman mo? Wow amazing!" asar ko.

Agad na sumalubong ang kanyang kilay pero nakapikit pa din. "Ikaw. Natikman ko na." asar niya.

Natawa ako ng sobra! Natawa din siya at tuluyan nang bumangon. He tickled my toes and stomach that is why I can't stop laughing. And the sound of our laughters echoed..

"Lorah called." Nathan uttered as he chewed his food.

We're both eating breakfast and we cooked together! It was so nice..

"Oo nga pala. When is her free time? Para masukatan ko na." I replied.

"Today."

"Saan daw?"

"Sa bahay."

Napatigil ako at napatingin sa kanya. I swallowed hard. "Are your..parents uhh.."

He nodded. "Naroon sila... Ipapakilala kita, kung handa ka.. Pero kapag hindi pa..I'll ask my sister to come here."

I smiled to hide the fear I'm feeling. "O-okay lang."

He remained serious.."Are you sure?" paninigurado niya.

Tumango ako at ngumiti. "I'm planning to to have a family dinner with you.. Let's tell to my family."

He looked so shocked at my sudden confession. As if he bever expected it.. I chuckled.

"This....time. Nothing could ever break us apart." I whispered.
