the unwanted wife (completed)

Chapter 15

Would you have been interested if I’d told you?” He was honest enough to avert his eyes at the question  natahimik ako bigla sa tanung nya.

“at bakit hindi ka na pumapasok sa trabaho mo???

So itong pagpipinta ang pinagkakaabalahan mo at maging trabaho mo di mo na pinapasukan my God Tin  be productive .. Di yung dito mo inuubos ang oras mo..

Will you just please support just this one Pat dito ako nagiging masaya sa tuwing binabalewala mo ako..

“Just to tell you honestly your not good on anything Tin..

“It’s uncanny, I hear his voice, but it’s like listening to your father speak. See kahit tatay mo di naniniwala sa kakayahan mo.

“No…yes…no. Look, I know that I’m not good enough walang pag aalinlangan kong sabi dito.

. Kaya nga pumapayag ako sa mga gusto nyu ni dad di ba pati oagnunurse ko iniwan ko kase para sa inyo im not good enough kaya nga kahit parang ang baba ng tingin nyo sakin sa opisina nagtitiis ako kase ganun nyu ako tignan...

Kaya nga di ba ako lang nakkaappreciate na mgaling ako sa bagay na to..

“I wouldn’t want to waste your  time; here let's go home and rest papasok ka na bukas sa opisina maliwanag.. .”

“Look, Pat , just drop it, please,” I  interrupted harshly, and his eyes snapped up to my  strained face.

Nanatiling  impassive ang expresyon ng mukha nito...

and he shrugged habang nagmamaneho hsbang ang mga mata nanatiling nakatingin sa daan..

Walang anu anu syang bumasag sa katahimikan sa pagutan naming dalawa.

Anu pa kaya ang mga tinatago mong sikreto sakin ha Tin siguro kaya ka din nagpunta dun para palihim na mgkita nang lalaki mo anu?? .

“

Wala akong tinatago at lalung wala akong lalaki. Masyado ka nman yatang mapaghinala Pat sinu ba sating dalawa ang may kabit.

That hit he's nerve umigting ang panga nito sa mga sinabi ko..

So anung tawag mo sa pagpunta mo sa bahay mo ang hindi nagpapaalam sakin he asked??? .

I laughed but there was absolutely no humor in the harsh and abrasive sound.

“ so tinatawag mo talaga tong isang sekreto common Pat don't be childish..” I shook my head bitterly

. “If you’d come up here at any time over the past year and a half, you would have known about this. I never lock the door, so you were free to enter at any time."I suggested

“At anu naman gagawin ko jan sa bahay mo??

. “It’s hardly the most logical place for a workshop.”

“

It’s also the one place I spend most of my time, so of course you’ve never bothered to come up here,

” I responded sarcastically. “You’ve never willingly sought me out before, Pat" kahit nung tayo pa kase mas mahalaga sayo yang putang inang basketball na yan kesa sakin di ba??? Kaya wala kang alam kahit anu sakin..

,  I believe that the only reason you’re doing so now is because things aren’t going according to whatever master plan you have devised for this so-called marriage of ours.

Pretending an interest in me is your latest way of trying to keep me compliant, isn’t it?I said sarcastically ”

“Stop trying to second-guess me, Tin” he reproved gently.

Wala ka ding alam kung anu ang nasa utak ko.. “

“Oh, I think I could definitely say the same about you. In fact I think I know you a lot better than you do me!”

“I doubt that,” sagot nito sakin..
Iniwan mo nga ako remember at sumama sa lalaki mo di ba?? You left without  even explaining my self nawalan lang ako ng oras tin pero sa isang iglap nghanap ka ng iba.. Masisi mo ba ako kung bakit kahit katiting na pagmamahal di ko maibigay sayo..

He crossed one long leg over the other in a pose of sartorial, casual elegance.

“sige nga kung kilala mo ako .”  He frowned at the question before shrugging.

“Black,”alagang sabi ko dito..

“No, you take yours black, I don’t drink coffee.”

“This is pointless,”I  dismissed. “And juvenile.”

See wala kang alam tungkol sakin Tin.

“Everything about me, or to do with me, is pointless to you,” I observed bitterly.

“

“You’re being ridiculous and completely melodramatic,” he derided.

“What about my birthday?” he  asked suddenly, still ignoring him.

“When’s my birthday?” His jaw clenched and he remained mute, keeping his eyes glued to hers.
