15th Chapter : Departure

Zia'sPOV

I wasn't able to sleep the whole night. Pinagmamasdan ko lang si Arjel na mahimbing na natutulog sa tabi ko habang mahigpit na nakayakap sa akin. I was overthinking ... again. I know that he is serious when he said that I should trust him.

I trust him .. yes. But I don't trust his wife. What if she made a move para may mangyari sa kanila ni Arjel?

Gosh .. I sounded like a jealous wife when in fact ay may mas karapatan pa nga ang asawa nya na maramdaman ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. But I can't help it ..

When I felt like I won't be able to sleep anymore I stood up carefully. The clock from the bedside table says it's 3:3o in the morning at mamayang 9 am na ang flight ni Arjel. Sabi nya ay sa airport na daw sila magkikita ng asawa nya and as much as I wanted to accompany him there para maihatid ko sya ay hindi puede. That thought brought insecurity and pain inside me but I brushed it off immediately. I won't last long if I will let my insecurities swallow me.

Tuluyan na akong tumayo at nagtungo ng kusina. Ipagluluto ko na lang ng breakfast si Arjel. It's the least that I can do before he left.

I was about to get the remaining bacon from the pan when I felt his presence behind me and before I could turn to look at him he already wrapped his arms around me.

" I thought you left. " relief is audible from his voice as he buried his face on the crook of my neck.

" Hindi kasi ako makatulog. " I said after placing the bacon on the plate na nakapatong malapit sa stove.

" I don't want to leave. " mas humigpit ang yakap nya sa akin and I felt my eyes watered upon hearing the frustration from his voice.

" But you have to. " I answered after clearing my throat.

Bumitaw sya mula sa pagkakayakap that I almost groaned in protest but he immediately guided me to face him. Uncertainty was all over his face.

" Please answer all my calls and texts and if we have time we can use Skype as well. Tell me all your whereabouts and don't go on a date with anyone. " there was a sort of warning on the last part at hindi ko napigilang mapangiti. It's a threat but I find it sweet. " Don't smile at me, sweetheart. I'm serious here. "

" What if mag aya si Hans or si Louie? I don't have a heart if I reject them, right? " pigil ang ngiting tanong ko. I just want to see him jealous. Isa kasi iyon sa pinakamami miss ko kapag umalis sya. At hindi nga ako nagkamali when I saw the scowl from his face.

" Then come with me. I will just tell them that you are my new secretary. " he said in between gritted teeth bago ako talikuran.

Ooopps .. mukhang nagalit ko yata?

Sinundan ko sya hanggang sa makarating sya sa kuarto. He took his phone from the bedside table at tila may tatawagan before I spoke to interrupt him.

" Hey, what are you doing? "

" I will call Paul. I'all ask him to get your tickets and -- "

" What?! .. No! " I protested frantically.

He turned to me with a grim expression. " What? "

I let out a sigh, " Arjel, I was just kidding, okay? "

He returned the phone back on the table while intently looking at me.

" I hate your humor, sweetheart. " bakas ang pagtatampo sa boses nya.
