The Forgotten Pain: 2Yeon part 7

Nayeon needed to go abroad because of her last shoot for this month. Isang linggo yata siyang mawawala. Ilang araw na nagkakausap sa mensahe si Jeongyeon at Rio. He finally don’t feel lonely everyday because of her. It feels like Rio’s a spice that made his marriage life more colorful.
He’s so unaware of what he’s doing. All he could see is the happiness he feels. Halos araw araw na niyang dinadala si yeon sa shop ni Rio. To be honest, Yeon’s just an excused to see Rio. He felt so alive when they’re together. Tulad ngayon, kasama ngayon ni Yeon ang isang staff sa kusina.

“Your daughter is so lovely…kapag nagkaanak ako, gusto ko kasing sigla niya.” nakangiting sabi nito sa kanya. They are sitting beside one another while looking at Yeon. “I bet your future child will be as lovely as well” he said. “I hope so..” she said.

Their hands are awkwardly tapping under the chair. Jeongyeon slowly put his hand on her hand and Rio looked at him. With fear and confusion. “Jeongyeon…” she whispered. He just smiled as he tightened his hand on hers. Rio’s full of doubt but she did not put her hand away.

“Kapag kasama kita, sobrang saya ko.” biglang sabi ni Jeongyeon. Nanahimik lang ito. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang isasagot niya rito. Jeongyeon held Rio’s chin and made her look at him. “Do you….d-do you feel the same too?” he asked. He saw how her eyes began to water.

Inalis niya ang pagkakahawak nito sa baba niya at tiningnan siya. “Jeongyeon..t-this is wrong…” nakayukong sabi nito. Maski ang pagkakahawak sa kamay nito ay inalis niya. “Ganito rin ba ang nararamdaman mo? Do you feel happy like I am right now?” he asked again.

Hindi sumagot si Rio. “Your answer is just ‘this is wrong’, does it mean you feel this way too?” ulit niya. “This is cheating…” she whispered. Natahimik naman si Jeongyeon. There he did realized what he’s doing. Rio walked out and left him realizing stupid things he did.

Hanggang pag uwi ay iniisip pa rin niya ang nangyari. Nasa salas siya nang marinig ang pagtunog ng cellphone niya. Nayeon is video calling. Agad niyang binigay kay Yeon ang cellphone matapos sagutin. He feels so guilty. Tulala lang siya habang kausap ng anak ang ina nito.

Hindi niya nakausap si Nayeon. Binigay na ng anak niya nag cellphone niya at akmang ibababa na niya ito nang tumunog muli. Isnag mensahe galing kay Rio. Agad niyang binuksan ang message. “I did feel the same way. I still have little feelings for you. It didn’t fade away even you’re married. But you’re a husband of someone else’s now. I don’t want you to cheat because of me. I know you’re loyal to Ms. Nayeon. Your feelings towards me is just a spur of the moment.” basa niya.

Only the first two sentence he focused on. He’s so blinded with Rio’s comfort. He’s so longing for love and care from woman. Since Nayeon is too busy to do that, he found comfort to Rio. He can’t read his cheating situation. He just want to be happy, he’s willing to break those barriers for his own happiness.

“Please be my woman Rio. I promise that Nayeon will not know about us.”
