Bondwoman 2

Chapter 16

Nang makabawi ako ay agad kong sinuot ang robe ko at sinundan si Pax.

I saw her dressing up.

"Bakit ka nagmamadali? Where are you going?" i sat in the bed while watching her.

"Dun na muna ako samin." tumayo na ako lumapit sa kanya. I'm just standing behind her.

"Are you still mad at me?" i asked softly.

Hindi siya sumagot kaya niyakap ko siya mula sa likod. She was stunned for awhile but then removed my arms around her waist.

"Don't you miss me?" i continued to ask but got no response.

"Hey Pax!" i grab her hand at pinaharap siya sakin. "Why are you like that? What did i do?"

She just look away and turned her back from me.

"If it's because of what happened before i confined. Sorry! I'm really sorry, Pax." i said and hug her again.

"I'm really sorry.. I'll change, Love. J-Just don't leave me. You know i can't live without you." mas hinigpitan ko pa ang yakap ko sa kanya ng maramdaman kong balak nya na naman itong tanggalin.

"Please, forgive me." i whispered to her.

We stayed like that for a moment until i break the silence.

"Don't be mad na baby love." patuloy na lambing ko sa kanya. "Ako nga dapat magtampo. For the 4 months i've been hospitalized you never visit me even just for once."

I was so down that time. I need her and i miss her so bad.

"Brienne.." she called me and tried to removed my arms around her waist again pero nagmatigas ako at siniksik pa ang ulo ko sa leeg niya.

"You know what? Sabi ni Daddy tanggap niya na tayo. He also want me to manage our cruise ships business. You know what does it mean?" i asked her but she just 'hmm..'

"You don't need to work anymore, Love. You can come with me. Let's cruise the world." i said excitedly.

"Brienne.." she called my name in a very low energy.

"Ayuko na. Please?" please? She's pleading on me to stop.

Dahan dahan ng lumuwag ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya. She grab that chance to move away from me.

"W-Why?" i can feel my eyes burning. Any moment, i will cry.

"Pagod na ako." sagot nya at sinimulang ayusin ang maleta niya.

"Ayuko na. Pagod na ako sa tuwing umaalis ako at nagagalit ka. Pagod na ako na sa tuwing uuwi ako puro gawaing bahay madatdatnan ko. Pagod na ako na lagi na lang kita natatagpuan sa bar na lasing at may kalandiang iba, pagod na ako na pagod na ako Brienne. Pagod na akong alagaan ka.." her voice is shaking. She gulped before continue what she was saying.

"Pagod na akong maging asawa mo." i don't know if my heart is really new because i can feel right now the familiar pain in my heart.

"P-Pax, we can settle this. Listen to me." hinawakan ko ang magkabilang balikat niya at pinilit siyang humarap sa akin.

"I will understand you. Promise, i won't be mad anymore if you'll going to work. Love, - i-it's just that i need you that time. I'm s-sorry.. I-I'm sorry for being needy. Sorry." i can't clearly see her now. My visions were blurred.
