The Wife's Trap (Completed)

48th

"Would you risk your life for someone you love?"

That was a question I asked myself before embarking on my mission to save Drei's life.

Love these days has brought up different meanings. Traditionally, love is defined as pure, sweet, and something that we can't really live without. But time flies and definitions change, until love begins to become a mere game for teens. saying "I love you" even if they don't actually mean it.

These days, a love that is willing to risk his or her life is a very rare kind of love that is really difficult to find. Everyone now is a bit selfish, for their own sake first before others.

But for me, if I were in Draven's situation, I'd also risk my life for him in dire jeopardy. You never know how your decision will turn out, but you will always be aware if you fail to act. I'd rather die than be tortured by the agony of inaction.

"How you feeling?" I stare at my brother peeling off the apple. His hair was messed up a bit, 3 buttons on his sleeve were already open. He looks so sleepless and facing different problems, I wonder if I am one of it.

"My throat feels dry."

"That's because you exert too much energy and become so emotional. Why didn't you tell me that you're fvcking pregnant?!" Nanlaki ang mata kong napatitig sa kaniya at napahawak sa tiyan ko.

"W-what?"

"Joke," Mabilis ko siyang nabato ng unan at napaayos muli ng higa.

"Gago! Makabuntis ka sana." Bigla siyang natahimik na kinataka ko.

"W-where's Draven?"

Mas lalo siyang natahimik, muli sana akong magsasalita ng sunod sunod na pumasok si Emjie, Clover at Amanda.

"Architect, salamat naman at nagising ka na." Malungkot na lumapit si Clover, kasunod si Emjie at maya maya'y pumasok naman na sunod si August na sa 'kin agad nakatingin kasama sina George, Velvet at Xylone.

"Mavis, kumusta pakiramdam mo? Kinabahan ako nung bigla kang mawalan nang malay," magang maga ang mata ni Amanda, nasa gilid lamang niya si George at halos mapasandal na siya dito na hindi naman pinapansin ng binata.

"Mav, I'm sorry." Rinig kong sabi ni Emjie. I don't know what the real story is, pero noon palang na hawakan niya ang kamay ko para itali, may naramdaman na ako. Sa hawak palang niya na tila iniingatan ako'y ramdam ko nang---meron siyang tinatago.

Kaya nga hindi ako gano'ng nagalit sa kaniya ng mga oras na 'yon. Dahil naramdaman kong tila ingat na ingat siyang hindi ako masaktan.

"It was Red Society's plan, Mav s-sorry kung hindi g-gano'n kasuccessful."

"You did your job well Red Society." Naalala ko nanaman si Draven at balak ko na sana siyang itanong nang magsalita si George.
