Sofia Elena took a deep breath when she was about to knock Madrid Anselmo's room. It was still very early in the morning, probably around 5am. Pero kaagad niyang pinigilan ang sarili at napaisip. She was already holding the notebook where she wrote her ground rules for their marriage. Somehow, her conscience was knocking on her.
Okay, sure, her "now" husband was very considerate of her. Considerate? Yes. She can't totally say he's kind and a good person because would a good person force someone into marrying him? So the considerate word would be better. Well, he was considerate enough to think that she might become bored in staying in the island and then he bought her books to cure it. Not only that... Well, she might be a little too difficult for him. She was always showing him how she resents him for their arranged marriage - but the guy never badmouthed her. Sobrang haba pa rin ng pasensya nito habang pinapahirapan na niya ito.
Maybe they should have a truce for the mean time...
Instead of knocking the door, umatras siya at pumunta sa kusina ng rest house. She'll cook their breakfast. Para kahit papaano maisip nito ang pasasalamat niya sa pagbili ng mga libro. Even if in a subtle way...
Kaagad niyang tinignan kung anong pwedeng maluto sa umagang iyon. It was actually nice that there were some groceries on the fridge. Parang pinaghandaan talaga ang pagbakasyon nila sa isla.
She decided to cook some omelette and make some pancakes. She made some easy breakfast quesadillas. She also blended some fruit juice.
It took her almost one hour to finish everything. She also prepared and arranged the table where she put all of the food.
She looked at the clock after. It was almost 6am. Hindi pa rin nagigising ang asawa niya. She took another deep breath as she decided to go to his room to knock the door. Maybe, they could eat breakfast together.
When she was about to knock, narinig niya ang boses nito sa loob na parang may kinakausap sa telepono.
"She can take a day off," Narinig niya sa sinabi nito sa loob, "And also, tell Dr. Ignacio to come to the palace to check Natalie..."
Natalie?
"She's still my responsibility, Gonzalo. So take care of her until she's not sick anymore."
Fia bit her lip after hearing those words from him. She suddenly felt disappointed. Umiling kaagad siya. She shouldn't feel disappointed. She shouldn't feel anything at all. Arranged marriage lang ang meron sa kanila ni Madrid. Nothing more nor she wants to have a friendship. What's going on between them is like a business deal. She even made a ground rules just for it.
