Beast in Me

Epilogue

"Do you really think she's cheating on you, Alas?"Neon asked me.

Napailing ako at tinungga ang hawak na beer. Hindi magagawa saakin ng asawa ko iyon. We've been married for five years now. And I make sure I'm giving everything she needs and I'm fucking sure I'm still as good as ever when it comes to sex kaya nakakasigurado ako na hindi totoo ang kumakalat ngayon na balita. Mahal ako ng asawa ko. She would never ever cheat on me. Our relationship maybe started as a casual fuck and nothing more but it's different now. We're married.

"Kung hindi ka naniniwala then why the hell are we here?"sumimangot ang mukha ni Helios at kumuha ng beer na nasa lamesa.

"Nagpapalipas ng oras."sagot ko.

"Really? Nagpapalipas oras, huh."he smirked at me."Ang sabihin mo nagseselos at galit ka. At nagpapahupa ka ng galit mo dito sa bar dahil ayaw mong komprontahin si Belle tungkol sa balitang kumakalat kasi natatakot ka. Umiiral nanaman ang pagiging duwag mo. Just like the old times."nanunuyang sinabi niya.

He maybe right too. Kahit na limang taon na kaming kasal ni Belle I still have my insecurities with me.

Belle is Belle. She's the epitome of beauty. Nagkakandarapa ang lahat ng lalaki kapag siya na ang dumadaan. And just like before pakiramdam ko hindi ko kaya makipagkompetensyahan sa mga naggwagwapuhang lalaki na umaaligid-aligid sa asawa ko.

"Did she called you?"

Binalingan ko si Dylan nang magtanong.

"No."

"Kaninang umaga pa kumalat ang balita ah. Hindi ka niya kinontact simula kaninang umaga?"Dylan brows furrowed.

Napabuga ako ng hangin saka umiling."I tried to calling her. Pero naka-off ang cellphone niya."slowly the fear is creeping the shit out of me.

Did she realize I'm not the best for her? Did...Did she fell out of love?

"Sino ba daw iyong lalaki?"Neon asked curiously.

"It was one of Belle's ex."Helios answered.

"Oh,"was all Neon could say before slowly nodding his head and his gaze turn to me.

Don't think too much, Alas. Trust your wife. Trust Belle.

But I can't help but to overthink. Damn it. Was it because of I said no when she said she wanted round 6 last night? Is she mad at me? Fuck! I don't know what to think anymore.

"ALAS! LOVE!"natigil ako sa pag-iisip at napalingon sa likuran ko nang marinig ko ang boses niya.

And there I see her...Bellarina Sudalgo Adams my wife.

The way her hair sway and her hips too no doubt about it she can whipped all the men here.

Napalingon ako sa gilid ko at hindi nga ako nagkakamali. The men are all drooling over her while she is obviously oblivion to that fact.

I have never seen nor met a woman who could rub the air in my lungs and make me stiffened. Except my wife.

"Love, please let me explain first."takot na takot siya at nang tuluyan ng makalapit saakin ay nangungusap ang mga mata niyang tumingin saakin."I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please don't leave me. Huwag mo kong iiwan. I'm sorry."sunod-sunod siyang napahikbi at parang pinipiga ang puso ko ng makita kong may pumatak na luha sa mata niya.

Mabilis ko iyong pinunasan at hindi matiis na tignan siya sa ganoon ayos kaya naman niyakap ko siya.

"I didn't do anything. Love, ikaw lang ang mahal ko. I don't know why the media is so harsh on me. How could I cheat on you."tuluyan na nga siyang umiyak. She is crying loudly while hugging me back.
