Mafia Series 5: Blake Nixon Wartter (Completed)

Chapter Nine

THE SUPPOSEDLY 'Escape plan' of Lexel turned into nothing and failed as a result. Palagi siyang nahuhuli ng asawa niya, kahit sa kalagitnaan ng gabi ng kanyang plano ay para lang siyang pusa na nadadakip ng kanyang amo.

"Stop thinking of escaping woman because we both know that you can't"

"Oo kasi aswang ka! Kahit hatinggabi ay nagigising!" Inis na sagot ni Lexel sa asawa na tinaasan lang siya ng kilay.

"Says who to the woman whose also awake at night and looks like a thief because of her all black outfit." Namula naman ang pisnge ni Lexel sa sinabi ng asawa at muling umirap dito.

"You should really stop escaping Daine." Seryosong ani ni Blakev dahilan para mapalingon si Lexel dito.

"Daine?"

"Yes. Daine is your second name isn't?"

"Just Lexel or Xel."

"Nah. I prefer Daine, mas bagay sayo." For the second time, naramdamang muli ni Lexel ang pag-iinit ng pisnge. 'Fuck shit! Malantod kang babae ka! Ang rupok-rupok mo!'

Tumikhim si Lexel at umayos sa pagkakaupo. It is early in the morning. Maganda ang panahon at masarap magliwaliw sa ganitong mga oras. Masarap mamasyal at damhin ang sarap ng hangin.

"You want to go somewhere? Mamasyal perhaps?" Napatingin naman si Lexel kay Blake. She's attempted sa offer nito but her pride is so fucking high kaya pilit niyang pinipigilan na naging matigas at huwag magpatukso.

"Ayoko. Dito lang ako sa suite." She answered with a stubbornness on her voice.

Napabuntong hininga naman si Blake sa sagot ng asawa. As much as possible he want to work this marriage. He is not getting any younger, his mother keeps asking him for a grandchild but how he can do it kung mismo silang mag-asawa ay hindi maayos?

"I really want to work this marriage you know." Hindi na niya mapigilang sabihin dahilan para mapalingon ang asawa sa kanya.

"So? We have different beliefs. I don't want to work this marriage, I want an annulment actually."

Blake glare his wife because of her answer. Here he is, willing to work this fucking things tapos ang nasa isip ng asawa niya ay annulment? Kaya ba gusto nito tumakas? Para sa lalaking kaakbayan nito sa restroom. Speaking of that asshole, he is planning an assassination for that bastard kapag nakabalik na sila sa Pilipinas.

Humugot muli ng malalim na hininga si Blake at naglakad palapit kay Lexel. For the first time in his life, ibababa niya ang pride para lang makiusap. Hinawakan niya ang palad ng asawa at hinaplos ito. Naka squat siya sa harap nito habang ito naman ay nakaupo sa upuan.

"A-ano bang g-ginagawa mo?" Utal na tanong nito at pilit na binabawi ang palad mula sa pagkakahawak niya.

"Do I need to say please to you? Do I need to beg first para lang mapapayag ka na mamasyal kasama ko?" Mahinang tanong niya habang diretsong nakatingin sa mata nito. Kita niya ang gulat, pagtataka at iba pang hindi niya mapangalanang emosyon na dumaan sa mata nito. Maging ang paglunok nito at pag-awang ng mapupulang labi habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"A-ano ba kasing sinasabi mo jan?" Gustong mapangiti ni Blake dahil mahinahon na ang boses nito. Hindi na pasigaw o may bahid ng inis katulad ng kanina.

"I know we started in a wrong way and I can't change that anymore but after our marriage I realize that I want to try, I want our marriage to work out even if its just arranged by our parents. I know its not easy for the both of us because it is so sudden but still, I want to risk. I'm not getting younger anymore, Daine. I want to build my own family too and I want it to start with you, to do it with you, to build it with you." Seryosong mungkahi ni Blake habang nakatingin pa rin kay Lexel. While Lexel on the other hand still motionless at her seat.

"I don't know what to say, because to be honest, I am not ready for this, I-"

"I know and its okay. I understand honey. Just let me guide you for now, let me help you to cope up the situation."

Wala sa sariling napatango naman si Lexel at napakagat sa sariling labi. "I'm sorry. I'm such a bitch. I keep on giving you headache because of my stubbornness. I'm really sorry. Its just... I don't want you to dominant me, to use the marriage card and control me, control my life." Huminga muna ng malalim si Lexel bago matapang na tiningnan mata sa mata si Blake na tahimik na nakikinig sa kanya.

"I'm a party girl. A happy go lucky. I always do what I want, what makes me happy. I'm the pain in our family kaya siguro pinakasal na ako ni mommy ng maaga." Aniya at natawa sa sariling sinabi. "Kaya naman ng malaman ko na ipapakasal nga ako ni mommy sa lalaking di ko kilala at hindi pa nakikita, I was mad at the same time afraid." Mahinang sabi niya.

Blake on the other hand just hummed and urge himself not to ask. He wants to listen first before he give his own insights about his wife point of view. Pero wala na siyang narinig pagkatapos niyon, kaya naman hinawakan niya ang baba nito para hulihin ang paningin nito.
Napangiti naman siya ng makita ang pamumula lalo ng pisnge nito at gulat sa mata. 'Pretty.'

"You don't have to be afraid. Hindi kita pipigilan sa mga gusto mo but... I am hoping you know your limits too. I'm not stopping you to go parties, seeing friends, bar and such but I want you to tell me. Let me update about your doings, so I would know if you are safe or in a good hands."

"Really? You won't stop me? Kahit mag shopping ako, bar, parties makes gala-gala and everything?" Tanong ni Lexel na bakas ang kasiyahan sa mukha.

"Yes, I won't. Just let me updated okay? Always tell me and ask me if you need something."

Nagtititili sa saya si Lexel. Hindi niya mapigilan na hindi yakapin si Blake dahil sa sobrang kasiyahan. She is oblivious of what she did because of too much excitement and happiness but Blake on the other hand stilted. Hindi agad siya nakagalaw dahil sa gulat ngunit ng makabawi siya ay napangiti na rin siya at napatawa.

"I'm sorry if I hug, I was just so excited and happy. Thank you! I though hindi na ako pwede mag party kasama sina Xander and Ash-"

"Hon?"

Napatigil namans si Lexel sa pagsasalita. Napatingin siya kay Blake na ngayon ay madilim na ang mukha.

"Bakit?" Takang tanong niya. "You look bothered, are you okay?"

"Yes. I just want to make a request." Diretsong sagot ni Blake.

"What request?"

"As much as possible avoid nearing or touching other male species, unless its me."

"But...how about Xander? He is my best friend so we are pretty close and touchy-"

"Do I need to please?" Blake said in a very serious and deep voice. Napalunok naman si Lexel at napakagat sa sariling labi.

"I-I will try. Bakit naman kasi bawal?"

"Because I am very very possessive man. Seloso ako at kapag akin, gusto ko akin. Ayoko ng may kahati."
