The School President's Wife (COMPLETED)

Chapter 39

"So what's your plan?" Kazzhandra boringly asked Tamara while they are in the kitchen of her house.

Yes, she went to Kazzhandra, kung saan pakiramdam niya ay hindi siya pag-iisipang hanapin ni Atticus.

Sino ba namang baliw ang magtatago sa lugar kung saan halos katapat ng bahay ng naghahanap sa kanya?

Siya lang iyon.

"I don't know, he lied to me. At hindi lang basta pagsisinungaling iyon Zandra, he cheated and fooled me that I am married to him na hindi naman pala. It's painful Zandra." Pumatak na naman ang luha niya.

"Shh... it's enough okay... 'Wag ka ng umiyak okay. Kanina ka pa iyak nang iyak."

"Okay lang ba na dito muna ako, I'm sure Atticus won't find me here. Magtatago lang ako sandali, I felt like I have to grieve for my heart."

Hinampas ni Kazzhandra ang braso niya. "Of course ano ka ba? Kahit na dito ka na tumira. Aabisuhan  ko rin si Paulo na wag mag-ingay na nandito ka. Magiging masaya nga iyon kasi may kasama ako rito."

She felt relieved hearing that.

Kazzhandra and Paulo's house is massive, tila kasinglaki ito ng bahay ni Atticus. Her eyes roamed in the kitchen and she spotted something that delighted her sight.

She unconciously reached out and opened a jar of coffee, picked up a coffee bean and sip it like a candy.

"Bakit mo kinakain iyan?" Nakatanga si Kazzhandra sa kanya.

"Bakit, bawal ba?"

"Hindi naman, pero coffee bean? Pwede naman sigurong timplahin natin?"

She pouted to Kazzhandra. "Ayaw ko, parang ito iyong gusto ko ngayon, saka may scalded milk cake ka ba?"

"Scalded milk cake?"

She nodded to her inocently which left Kazzhandra's mouth opened.

"Ano namang gagawin ng scalded milk cake dito sa bahay? Sa school lang naman yata natin meron. I can phone Paisley to grab one for you, if you like."

Biglang umaliwalas ang mukha niya. "Sure, pero wag mong sabihin na andito ako ha."

Days had passed ngunit nanatili siya sa poder ni Kazzhandra. She's attending class on line, ang sabi niya sa mga professor niya'y may sakit siya't kailangan niyang magpagamot.

Baka nga matuluyan talaga siya dahil sa matinding pagsisinungaling.

A professor had talk to her over the phone, pinilit siya nitong sabihin kung saang 'ospital' siya dahil dadalaw raw ito, duh?

Alam niyang malamang kagagawan iyon ni Atticus. Another professor had forced her to submit a hard copy of one of her outputs in the faculty.

But hell!

She has Xiangli.

And Xiangli knows what to do.

Inubos niya ang isang linggo sa pagbuburo ng sarili sa silid na inuukupahan, she had missed going out but she has no energy to do that.

At the depth of her heart, she missed him, she missed him a lot, she missed him like crazy but her heart bleeds.

And the pain is so deep and so painful that she always find herself crying after thinking of him.

Tumutulo lang ang luha niya habang nakaupo sa sahig, yakap ang dalwang tuhod at nakatingin sa madilim na kalangitan  sa pamamagitan ng salamin na pinto ng balkonahe.

The sky looks so lonely without the stars and the moon...

And she feels like dying... without Atticus.
