The Fallen Purse

8

"After settling everything, we'll start a new beginning and I'll never leave you again." Paul said while caressing my hand.

Be the CEO, make the company grow and a divorce. That's the whole plan. Sana lang matuloy lahat ng mga plano namin.

"I'll make it up to you darling." Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at nag patuloy na kami sa pag lalakad. We went out for a walk and we ate some street foods, I'll never forget this day.

"Paul, how's life without me?" I asked out of blue.

"Complicated." Humigpit ang hawak niya sa kamay ko at hinalikan ito, bumuntong hininga siya at tumitig sa mga mata ko.

"Alam kong hindi madali yung pinag daanan mo Belle, I'm sorry. But believe me, everyday feels like a torture to me." Lumalim ang titig niya sa mga mata ko at tumitig lang din ako sa kaniya. "Everyday, wondering what you're doing, if you're alright or what if you're sick, who will take care of you... Lagi kong iniisip na bumalik, pero alam kong hindi na pwede."

Huminto kami sa pag lalakad at saktong sa tapat ng fountain kami nahinto.

"P-paul.." I shakingly said.

"Ilang taon na ang nakalipas, pero hindi nawala yung pag-mamahal ko sa'yo." Ngumiti siya at hinalikan niya ang ulo ko.

"Can't you stay a little longer darling?" Tanong niya.

"Kung pwede lang, hindi na 'ko uuwi e." Pag biro ko.

"We'll be living together soon." Kumindat siya sa akin at tumawa kaming dalawa. Ihahatid daw niya ako sa hotel at nilakad na lang namin 'yon dahil sobrang lapit lang naman.

"We're here." He sigh and smiled at me.

"Can you stay? With me here?" I awkwardly asked while avoiding his gaze. Narinig ko naman na tumawa siya ng mahina.

"Of course darling." Kumindat siya at hinawakan ang kamay ko para hatakin papasok. Binaba ko yung bag ko at tinali ko ang buhok ko dahil naiirita na 'ko, kanina pa na pupunta sa mukha ko haha.

"Upo ka muna diyan sa couch." Sabi ko habang inaayos yung mga gamit ko dahil medyo magulo. While fixing my things, I felt a hand wrapped around my waist. Without looking back, I knew it was Paul.

I heard him groan and he start kissing my neck from behind. Tumigil ako sa ginagawa ko at marahang humarap sa kaniya. He's looking directly to my eyes and without wasting any time, he kissed me and I start kissing him back. Hiniga niya ako sa kama habang hinahalikan niya ako, he hovered ontop of me and he suddenly stopped kissing me.

"Can I?" He asked for permission and I nodded my head.

He slowly removed my shirt and he start kissing and sucking my neck leaving a mark. He was about to remove my bra when my phone suddenly rang. I heard him groan and I just chuckled at him. Inabot ko yung phone ko na nasa may nightstand at nanlaki ang mata ko nang makitang si Andrielle yung tumatawag. Agad ko namang sinagot yung tawag dahil hindi ko nga pala na sabi sa kaniya na nakarating na ako rito.

[Wow, just wow.]

Ang supladong boses agad niya ang narinig ko pag ka sagot ko ng tawag.

"Andrielle, I'm sorry I forgot to text you." I nervously said.

[It's okay, nangyari na.]

Paul went closer and he hugged me from behind.

[So anong balita sa love story niyo nung Paul mo?] Nagulat ako sa tanong niya na 'yon. Ang weird lang, my husband is asking me about me and my lover. But I smiled at the thought of me and Paul being together.

"Mag ka sama kami ngayon." Tumingin ako kay Paul at nakita kong nakatitig na pala siya sa'kin.

[T-that's great! Haha, enjoy ka lang diyan. Enjoy lang kayo! Basta umuwi ka agad ah, pero kung gusto mo pang mag stay diyan, go! ako na ang bahalang mag takip sa inyo haha.]

I'm happy that he's happy for us, pero sa boses niya, there's a sudden change of the mood. I don't know, baka pagod lang sa work. Workaholic ang Andri niyo, e.

"Thank you Andri, uuwi ako agad, yari ako kay dad and I don't want to bother you."

[You're welcome Belle, I'll hung up now. May mga papers pa akong aasikasuhin.]

"Don't overwork yourself, Andri."

[Alright, bye bye.] He said with a silly voice at binaba na niya ang tawag.

"Andrielle?" Paul asked with eyes close.

"My husband." I answered, hugging him back.

"Tsss." I saw him rolled his eyes.

"Tell that 'husband' of yours that he just ruined our moment." Tumawa ako ng malakas at kinurot ang pisngi niya.

"Asawa ko lang siya sa papel." I playfully winked at him while squishing his face because he looks so cute when he's jealous.

"But still.." He whined.

"Come with me sa Manila?" I lift my eyebrows up and down.

"I would love to, but let's ask mom first darling hmm?"

"Alright.."

"Here's the menu ma'am, sir."

"Thank you."

We're here at Nostalgique Restaurant, that's the name of our restaurants. We have 37 branches all over the world. It is from the word Nostalgic translated to French. This restaurant is from our grandparents and the name actually changed after our dad inherited the company because he said that this restaurant will remind him his good old days.

"What about Bouillabaisse darling?" Paul asked.

"I'd love to."

"A Bouillabaisse." He said and the waiter wrote our order.

"I've been craving for Potatoes Dauphinoise, that one too kuya." I politely said.

"Sulitin na natin, a Foie gras too please." Paul added.

"Last na! Gyro, gusto mo rin Paul?"

"Sige, add that too please."

"For drinks?" The waiter asked.

"Citrus peach cooler, how about you darling?"

"I'll get the same."

"So a Bouillabaisse, Potatoes Dauphinoise, Foie gras, Gyro, and Citrus peach cooler. We'll serve it and we'll be back for dessert, please be comfortable ma'am, sir."

"Thank you."

"Kung imu-mukbang natin 'to baka bumalik pa yung pera na ibabayad natin." I jokingly said.

"Ivlog na natin? Hahaha."

"Say hi darling." I start recording him.

"Oh come on, I thought we're just playing around." He covered his face and I laughed at him.

"So we're here at Nostalgique Restaurant, masarap na, marami ka pang poging makikita haha."

"But you can't look at this handsome guy right here 'cause he's already mine..." I saw him smiled and I held his hand while showing it to the camera.

"I love you darling." He kissed my hand.

"I love you too..."

"Here's your order ma'am, sir. Please enjoy."

"Let's pray first darling."

After praying, kinuha ko ulit yung phone ko para videohan yung mga pagkain.

"So here's our food, focus on the real food not the man right there."

We both laughed and we start eating our food.

"Paul, what are we?"

"We're humans darling..." Seryosong sabi niya.

"Fuck you." Tumawa siya ng mahina.

"We're a couple."

"I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend."
