UNLOVING YOU [completed]

ULY #9

Our days went well. Nagkaayos na rin kami ni Rhysand. We treated each other like how we treated each other before. Some may think it's unfair and ang bilis lang ng pangyayari na parang hindi ko inisip ang nangyare noon. But what can I do? That was in the past, and I already forgive him for doing that, even though it still hurts me.

Naghihiwa ako ng pang lunch ni Vanilla nang biglang may yumakap sa sa akin galing sa likod ko. I smiled and tilted my head for him to rest his chin on my shoulder.

“Good morning,” he hoarsely greeted me.

Lumingon ako sakaniya. I smiled and kissed his lips. Pinalalim niya ang halik ng maramdaman ko na nakasandal na pala ako sa sink.

We heard footsteps running towards the kitchen. Ka agad kong itinulak ang lalaki at umayos ng tayo. We both looked at Vanilla na nakangiti rin sa amin.

“Daddy I'm getting late, you should hatid me na.” Vanilla said and tugged his father's clothe meekly.

Napalingon si Rhysand si akin. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko na para bang nakulangan siya sa paghalik sa akin. I shrugged and handed Vanilla's lunch to her.

“Drive safely!”

I waved my hands at them. Hinintay ko munang mawala sila sa paningin ko bago pumasok ulit at isinirado ang gate.

Naligo muna ako habang hinihintay ang mga gamit na inorder. Rhysand's house is like a studio. Couch, kitchen sets na hindi kompleto, living room na napaka boring. He doesn't have enough furniture, halatang nagmamadali siyang tumira dito. He should have bought but he didn't.

Tumunog ang doorbell hudyat na dumating na ang mga binili ko. Magmamadali akong nagbihis bago bumaba at pinapasok ang mga nag deliver ng gamit sa bahay. I bought tons of furniture for his almost empty house.

Hindi naman ata siya magagalit na bumili ako ng mga gamit na hindi nagsabi sakaniya. Nakakahiya naman sakaniya na ako pa talaga ang bumili kahit hindi ko naman 'to bahay. He should thank me, salamat sa akin nakalibre siya ng furniture.

“Saan po 'to ilalagay ma'am?” the delivery boy asked. He's carrying the large vase.

“Doon lang po,” I pointed the place beside the first step staircase.

Dahan-dahan niyang inilagay roon. My heart is thumping because he trembled while putting down the vase. Mahihimatay ata ako kapag nabasag 'yon. It worth million dollars for me to buy it.

I was busy arranging the furniture in the living room, natapos ko na kasi ang sa kitchen. I've been cleaning for 3 hours and took a bath again, bago ako kumain ng lunch.

I went shopping after that. Bumili ako ng mga damit at ibang mga gamit para sa bedrooms. I also bought Vanilla's dream doll house and barbies na kasing laki na niya.

Namimili ako ng mga laruan sa toy store. It's kind of satisfying while picking large barbies. Hindi ko naranasan na magkaroon ng ganito noon kasi puro story books ang binibili ni mommy sa akin.

“Excuse me?” a girl's voice spoke behind me.

Lumingon akong nakangiti kahit naka mask ako.

“Are you perhaps... Fleur Harisson?” she asked scrutinizing me. Naniningkit ang mga mata niyang sinisikap na tingnan ang mga mata kong naka tago sa black shades ko.

How come that she noticed me behind this mask, scarf and shades I am wearing? I nodded. Natulala siya at napatili.

“Pwedeng magpa picture?”
