The Girl He Never Wanted [Completed]

24-MARRIED

MARRIED

"You have to go back now. What about your job?" It has been weeks. Ayaw niya pa rin umalis. My point sailed right past him. He just follows me around.

"If your company goes red, do not ever blame me," I warned him.

I am pretty sure other family members are helping him, but being the one to lead the whole company takes more than just his name. He has to be there too. And I have not seen him look at documents or communicate regarding their business.

Instead, he is busy hauling hay in our farm to help our laborers. Or nasa putikan to help plant rice seedlings. Or carrying stalks of sugarcane to load in the truck.

"Ang bait naman ng manliligaw mo, Teddy!" Natutuwang sambit ni Mang Berting habang tinutulungan siya nitong mag-ayos ng mga pagkain ng baka.

"Hindi ko po siya manliligaw, Mang Berting!" Itinama ko kaagad ang maling impormasyon. Baka kumalat pa.

"Ay hindi pala. May nobyo ka na pala! Si Dong Luriel! Kelan ba ang balik noon?" Si Mang Berting talaga, chismoso pero mali-maling detalye ang nakukuha.

"Hindi niya po nobyo 'yon, Mang Berting!" Agad na sagot ni Mark habang lumapit sa akin.

He stood close to me and slightly bent his head toward me. Nagtataka akong tumingin sa kanya.

"Pawis," sabay turo sa hawak kong towel na ibinigay n'ya sa akin kanina.

I tried to hand it to him pero umiiling siyang umatras nang kaunti.

"My hands are dirty," ipinakita sa akin ang kanyang mga kamay at inilapit muli ang kanyang mukha sa akin.

I rolled my eyes at him before slamming the towel in his face. Tumalikod agad ako para makaalis na doon for my meeting. Tumatawa naman siyang sumunod sa akin.

He would go with me to my meetings. Sit at a different table when they're held in a cafe. He would sometimes join in the conversation na akala mo maraming alam. Marami nga siguro kasi nakikita kong impressed na impressed 'yong iba sa kanya.

Tumatambay din siya sa opisina if I have a conference here.

"He is still here?!" Mahina pero gulat kong tanong kay Ruby nang makalabas ako ng conference room. Itinuro niya kasi ang loob ng opisina para sabihing nasa loob ito.

My meeting with clients started at 1 o'clock, and it ended a little over 5 o'clock. I told him to leave and do his own thing. But I stepped out of the conference room into my office, only to see him fast asleep habang nakaupo.

I approached him to try to wake him up para makaalis na kami. Mukhang pagod kasi nakikisali ba naman sa mahihirap na gawain sa hacienda, at nakikikarga din ng mga mabibigat na dalahin.

I sat on my desk to do some reading on some documents to give him more minutes. I glanced outside at papadilim na. Kailangan na naming umakyat pabalik para hindi masyadong mahirap sa daan. Buti na lang at hindi maputik ngayon.

I took a good look at the face I so missed. Medyo sumikip ang aking dibdib. He gave me happy and sad memories. Even with how much he had hurt me, I know I haven't fallen out of love for him.

Tiningnan ko ang kanyang kabuoan. From the top of his head to his handsome face. Pointy nose I loved to scrunch mine against with. Luscious lips I loved to kiss endlessly. Down to his chest I loved to nestle into. And his arms I loved to be cuddled with.
