The Enemy's heir is my Husband

Chapter 18

"W-why a-are you still awake?" he stuttered. His look was far away different from his looks when we met the last time, which is Sunday night. His hair was disheveled. He had black circles under his eyes and his eyes looks so tired and sleepless. He looks lifeless. What happened to him?

"Care to explain why you're avoiding me?" I asked raising my eyebrows and crossing my arms as I looked at him with stern eyes.

"I-im n-not bab--, Arthit." he answered as he avoided my gaze.

"Call me Arthit one more time and Im not going to forgive you, ever!" I shouted. What? I am just too used to him calling me babe. It's like Arthit wasn't my name anymore.

"Arthit Rojnapat is your fucking name. What should I call you? Huh?!" he shouted too.

"Answer me seriously, do you have someone else? Hindi mo na ba ako mahal?" I asked with pleading eyes and with the tears trying to escape from my eyes.

"When did I ever told you I did love you?!" he asked, confused. What nonsense question is that! He did said he loves me! He have confessed he loves me! Why is he asking when did he told that?!

"Fuck you! You and your fucking existence" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I was confused for how many days pero ano itong isusumbat niya? He did told me he loves me! Pero bakit tinatanong niya kung kelan? At bakit siya naninigaw?! I felt tears escaping from my eyes thus I wiped it but it kept streaming down. The hell? I am being too emotional!

I then walked out because I can't handle the pain my heart is experiencing but he held my waist as he hugged me from the back. Now, why is he doing that? He's confusing me!

"Im so sorry. Please, please don't walk away from me. I love you. I love you so much. Please forgive me, babe!" he said while his tears were dripping down my shoulders. He smells like alcohol. Is he drunk again?

"You're fucking drunk! Leave me alone!" I shouted as I pushed him which caused him to get away from me. What now? He's fucking confusing me! Kaninang sinisigawan pa niya ako tapos magmamakaawa siya? Tangina niya pala eh!

"No, im not. Please, babe. I won't leave you. Please don't leave me too. Please." he sobbed as he falls on his knees in front of me. He hugs my legs, stopping me from walking away. My tears were also fast dripping. Why am I crying like this? He's making me feel extreme emotions everytime!

"Then why did you asked me 'when did you ever told me you love me'?" I asked firmly.

"Because I want to know if you heard my confession. I feared your rejection. I was afraid you'll reject me. I was worried if you're not comfortable with it. I was scared to lose you!"

"Why did you ignored me?" I asked again, wanting explanations from him.

"Your grandfather threatened me. Im sorry. He heard that we're just fake-dating. I didn't admit it though. I told him I was already inlove with you but he threatened me. He said he'll hurt you if I won't stop this. He wants you home and I don't know how should I tell you because I was afraid that you'll leave me. I was too afraid to lose you, babe. Im so sorry." he explained between his sobs. As I heard his explanations, my heart softened. All this time meron din pala siyang pinagdadaanan, hindi niya lang sinasabi sa akin. All this time, he was just scared. All this time, he was hiding his fear. And I regreted shouting at him. I regreted cursing at him.

I held his arms and made him stand up. I hugged him tight while he's sobbing on my shoulder.

"Sshh.. stop crying. I understand, babe. I understand" I assured him while I rub his back when I absorbed and understand his explanations. He meant well. He's just confused too. He silently cried on my shoulder until I felt him hugging me back but tighter.
