Chapter 44
Who
Bumukas ang pinto at marahas na pumasok ang dalawang lalaki. Deila and Yra's boyfriends.
Dale caressed his own forehead. "Ang tagal na nun! And do you think I'll still do that if I know that this will happen?"
Tumikhim si Yra at bumalinh sa akin. "I'm sorry for what I'm about to say couz but, you're the one at fault. Hindi naman pala nangaliwa si Xy."
I gulped. I know that. I was just too jealous. "She did that because she's jealous duh! Ikaw ba naman ang padalhan ng ganoon, Yra."
"Magseselos ako pero hindi ko gagawin ang sigurado akong ginawa ni Nella. Paano si Xy ngayon? Malamang iniwan niya. Paano ang kasal niyong dalawa? Hininto mo ba, Nella? Hindi mo naman sana ginawa yun dahil paano kapag umayaw din si Xy dahil sa pagiging irasonable mo?"
It feels like I was showered by a bucket of ice. I am scared that Yra's saying the truth, that Xy may leave me because I am unreasonable. "Shut up, Yra! You know Xy's not like that." Deila tried to soothe me.
"Lalabas muna kami." paalam ni Dale at hinila ang girlfriend niya.
"You too." Deila and Yra ordered chorusly to their boyfriends.
"I'm not that jealous like you two are so I cannot relate. But you have to calm your nerves down if something like this happens. Think of the consequences and what will happen after you did that."
Tumango si Deila. "Get your point."
"Did you really halt the wedding?" binalingan ako ni Deila.
I bit my lower lip. "No, pero tinakot ko siyang walang kasal na matutuloy kapag hindi niya ako pinalabas sa sasakyan niya."
Nasapo nilang dalawa ang kanilang mga mukha. "No, don't worry. Xy's not gonna leave you. I hope not."
"Deila!" apila ko at kaagad dinukot ang telepono sa bulsa ko. Kailangan ko siyang kausapin. I'm afraid he'll really leave.
I dialed Xy's number. They both gave me a thumbs up. One ring and Xy answered it.
"Nella! Thank God-"
"Xy, I'm sorry! We have to see each other. Where are you?"
"Ako na ang pupunta! Nasaan ka?" narinig ko ang kalansing ng susi sa kabilang linya.
"Don't drive why you're on a phone call, Xy! I'm here at Hotel Excelsior. I'll text you the address."
"Okay. Thank you for this, Milady. I love you." his tone was soothing me.
Tumalikod ako sa dalawa dahil sa pamumuo ng luha sa aking mga mata. Ni hindi malang siya nagalit sa ginawa ko kahit na dapat ay magalit siya. I was upset and I left him without even letting him know the reason why I am upset.
"I love you too." I managed not to crack so much.
Ilang sandali pa akong natulala matapos kong ibaba ang tawag.
"Have you even ate, Nella?" Yra's question made me remember that we haven't finish our meal earlier.
"Hindi... namin natapos. Mamaya nalang, hihintayin ko muna siya."
"Are you kidding me, Wanella? If Dale finds out-"
"Kaya nga wag mong ipaalam. Nakakain naman ako ng kaunti." putol ko sa kanya. Mahinang natawa si Deila.
"Let's change the topic." it was Deila this time. "Xy already has a date in mind for your wedding, right? You just didn't approved it."
Bumuntong hininga ako. "It's my wedding, Deila. And I don't want it to be rushed. I want it to be perfect."
They both twisted their lips. "So Xy really wants it immediately, huh?" they both smirked. "Your wedding can still be perfect even if rushed, Nella. I'm sure of that. Hindi naman naghihirap si Xy kaya sigurado akong hindi naman siya maghahire ng mga pipitsuging designers."
Umiling ako. "Hindi niyo naiintindihan. I want to be very hands on. I don't want to rely everything to Xy. So we have to choose the date wisely."
Deila spread her arms. "Come here, couz." I smiled and hugged her as we laid on Dale's bed.
Nakaramdam ako ng antok habang nakahiga sa malambot na kama. Linabanan ko yon dahil kailangan kong maghintay kay Xy.
Deila chuckled when she noticed it. "Look at Nella, Yra. You should sleep, couz. You're tired because of crying."
Umiling ako. "Hihintayin ko pa si Xy." natawa silang pareho sa sinabi ko.
"Bahala ka diyan. Let's just see later if you'll not fall asleep." Yra laughed.
Umirap ako sa kanila. Sa kalagitnan ng pag iisip ng kung ano ano ay nakatulog ako.
A familiar scent woke me up. Also the kisses on my forehead. I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Xy. I instantly hugged him. "Xy, I'm sorry."
Niyakap niya ako pabalik. "It's okay." hinalikan niya uli ang noo ko. "Mamaya na tayo mag-usap. Sabi ni Deila ay hindi ka pa kumakain. Let's eat first."
"N-No, I'm not hungry yet. We have to talk. I'm sorry I left you there without explaining why I'm angry."
Ngumiti siya. "Makakapaghintay 'yan. Kumain muna tayo." wala na akong nagawa nang hinila niya ako patayo.
"What time is it?" I asked while we were walking towards the elevator.
"Passed three," inakbayan niya ako at hinalikan ulit sa noo.
"Did you just arrived?" I asked a bit shocked.
Tumango siya. "Kahit na gusto kitang panooring matulog, kailangan mo paring kumain."
"Where's my cousins?" I asked even when I have a hunch they're swimmings.
"Swimming. Pwede natin silang daluhan mamaya pagkatapos nating mag-usap." sinasabi ko na nga ba.
We already finished eating. Xy booked a suite beside Yra's. He was sitting in the bed, his back leaning on the headboard. While I was leaning on his chest.
Binuksan ko ang Messaging at ipinakita sa kanya ang litrato.
"Oh, fuck." he cursed breathily.
May kirot parin sa dibdib ko pero hindi na kasing grabe nang kanina. "I-I'm sorry I reacted that way earlier without that. Ngayon alam ko nang hindi mo kasalanan lahat."
"I'm really sorry about this, Milady. Don't worry, I'll talk to her."
Naalarma ako ng kaunti. "S-Sabihan mo lang ako kapag kakausapin mo na siya."
He grinned. "There's nothing to be jealous about, Wanella. You know I love you." he kissed my forehead. I can't count how many times he did that today.
Umahon ako ng kaunti para maabot ang labi niya. Saglit namilog ang mga mata niya pero napalitan yun ng kawilihan at inabot niya rin ang labi ko.
"I also know that it was Dale who dared you to kiss her," I said after the kiss.
Tumango siya. "Kaya wala talaga akong kasalanan."
I glared at him. He laughed and kissed me again. "I love you," he whispered softly.
"Love you too." sagot ko at hinalikan ulit siya.
His brow arched. "Who loves me?" he kissed me again, not contented on my answer.
