He Badly Wants Her (R-18)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

March 2017

SHE WOKE UP with a smile on her face. Sunlight creeped from her room's window and brightly shined her room.

Hinaplos niya ang kanyang tiyan, "Anak, ayos ka lang ba diyan? 'Buti naman pinagising mo si Mama ng maayos," madalas kasi siyang nagigising sa pagsusuka at pagkahilo nitong mga nakaraang araw.

Marahan siyang nag-unat-unat at bumangon. Dahan-dahan siyang bumaba patungo sa kusina. She heard clattering to kitchen utensils so she expected that Manang Rosa or Sisa were already awake. Naabutan niya si Manang Rosa na nagluluto. Her gaze was cold and her smiles were forced.

"Magandang umaga Ma'am,"  Manang Rosa forcely greeted.

"Good morning ho," pormal niyang bati dito at binuksan ang refrigerator para kumuha ng gatas.

"Nagluluto ho ako ng pancake. Mauuna na ho ba kayong kumain kay Sir Munzio?" turan ni Manang Rosa kahit sigurado si Daidara na alam na nitong ayaw niyang makasabay ang lalaking tinutukoy nito.

"Hindi ho. Mauuna na ho akong kumain," walang imik na inilapag ni Manang Rosa ang isang plato na may lamang pancake at honey sa kanyang harapan. Daidara silently said her thanks to her and started eating her food.

Four weeks had passed since she settled in Kadilaw. Her baby bump slowly showing but can be mistaken as her being bloated.

It's been a month since she last saw her family. Isa sa mga pinagtataka niya ay palagian ang pangungumusta ng mga ito sa kanya pero hindi man lamang siya binibisita. A week later after she settled in Kadilaw, palagiang tumatawag si Bloomie at Ares sa kanya pero hindi na siyang nagtangka na kausapin ang mga ito tungkol sa kanyang sitwasyon so she changed her number after that. She still misses Ares that the were times she was imagining that she was carrying Ares' baby but everytime she woke up, she was being slapped by the ruthless reality.

Munzio never asked for forgiveness that anger her the most. Lagi niyang sinisigurado na masisisira ang araw nito. There were times that she would make demand that seems impossible to accomplish. Hindi rin niya hinahayaang makasabay ito sa hapagkainan. She would push him away using any hurtful words she knew. May pagkakataong sinasadya niyang lagyan ng chili powder ang mga pagkain nito knowing he had the strong allergy spicy foods.

What irritates here the most was he stayed silent on her bullying. Tila ba hinahayaan lang nitong gawin ang gusto niya. His maids were becoming more hostile with her but stayed civil treating her. Tila ba alam ng mga ito na siya ang may pakana ng mga pangyayaring muntikan ng pagkaospital ni Munzio. It started when she demanded a rose garden after Munzio was being stung by wasps. Namamaga pa ang mukha nito at braso dahil sa kagat ng putakti ay pinilit niyang pagtanimin ito ng rosas sa tabi ng hardin. Naalala niyang pinagsabihan siya ni Manang Rosa na hindi na dapat pinagtatrabo ang kanyang asawa ng ganoon ang pakiramdam lalo na daw at may kaunting sinat pa ito dahil sa pagpapaulan pero hindi niya iyon pinansin hoping that through her cruel and ruthless demands, Munzio will strip his disguise and start showing his true colors. Pero hindi iyon nangyayari sa halip ay patuloy lang nitong ginagawa ang mga kagustuhan niya.

Daidara would often recieve disapproving glances kapag tinatapon niya ang tatlong pirasong rosas na palagiang bumubungad sa kanya tuwing binubuksan niya ang pintuan ng kanyang kuwarto. She knew tht the roses came from Munzio that confused her the most. Why would he gave her flowers? Hindi niya nagugustuhan ang takbo ng kanyang iniisip tuwing iniisip niya ang rason sa pagbibigay nito ng bulaklak. She knew the whole farm already know how badly she treated Munzio. Maraming pagkakataon na hindi ito nakatulong sa pagtatanim o pag-aani dahil sa mga kagagawan niya. Her frustration rose when he was view as a victim here but the truth is that he was far from being the victim.

Maagap siya ngayon dahil may nakatakdang appointment siya sa kanyang ob-gyne. Munzio contacted the best ob-gyne in town to assist her. Sa nakaraang check-up niya ay hindi niya pinayagang sumama sa kanya.

Umakyat na siya sa kanyang kuwarto at nag-ayos. Pagkababa niya ay naabutan niyang nag-aalmusal si Munzio.

Her face immediately contorted in disgust. Namamaga pa ang noo nito dahil sa pagkadulas nito sa hagdanan. Kahapon ay sinadya niyang lagyan ng langis ang hagdanan. Of course, he tripped but never say a word. Something in her heart twisted but she just ignored it.

She rolled her eyes at him when she noticed that he was staring at her. Nagdere-deretso siya sa paglabas habang hinahanap si Manong Lito para magpahatid sa ospital. Natunghayan niya itong ininspeksiyon ang unahan ng isang sasakyan. Agad niya itong nilapitan.

"Manong..." nag-angat ito ng tingin, "Ikaw pala, Ma'am! Ano po'ng kailangan niyo?"

"Magpapahatid sana ako sa ospital."

Manong Lito forehead creased, "Alam ba ito ni Sir Munzio, Ma'am? Baka matulad na naman ito noong nakaraan na wala pa lang kaalam-alam si Sir na aalis pala kayo," nagpuyos ang kanyang dibdib sa narinig.

"May appointment ako sa doctor ko Manong. Hindi ko kailangang magpaalam," malamig niyang sambit.

Naiiling na sumunod sa kanya si Manong Lito, "Saglit lang, Ma'am ah. Kukunin ko lang iyong isang sasakyan sa garahe. Sira kasi itong isa eh," sabay talikod nito papuntang garahe sa may tabi ng bahay.

Naramdaman niyang ang isang presensiya sa kanyang likuran. Pagbaling niya, nakita niya si Munzio na nakakunot ang noo.

"May appointment ka?"

She crossed her arms and glared at him, "Kasasabi ko lang diba?"

"I'll come," he said determinedly.

"NO! Hindi ba nilinaw ko na sa'yo na ayaw kitang makasama? Maii-stress lang ako kapag nakikita ko ang pagmumukha mo," She cruelly said.

His eyes flashed pain but immediately manage to hid it,"I have the right to come and know my child's condition."

She fumed, "Really? Karapatan? You think you have the right? You have no say on this as I have no right to control my own situation. I don't want you meddling in my check-ups and doctor's appointment," Dara stated firmly

"Please, Dara... I just want to come," His eyes and voice were pleading. May kung ano sa kanya na gusto ng bumigay at payagan ito ngunit mas nag-uumapaw pa rin sa kanya ang galit.

"Ayaw ko nga sabi! Bakit ba ang kulit mo?! 'Di kita kailangan! I can handle this my own."

"Didn't I told you before? I will take care of you and the baby. I will make sure that his needs will be attended," she noticed that his voice broke down a little but she ignored it.

She also noticed that their argument gathered the maids and Manong Lito's attention but everyone was afraid to interfere.

"It will be better if you don't involve yourself into this! I can handle my baby's needs."

"I just want to know if our baby's healthy and watch his or her progress. I want to be there when hearing my baby's heartbeat and heck! I even want to be there when we are able to know the gender."

She stared at her disbelievingly, cz "Have you been forgotten that we weren't in a normal circumstances? Ah baka nakakalimutan mo na rin that you forced me into this! That this baby and marriage never intended to happen in the first place! I should be happy right now being happily married with Ares! I shouldn't  be carrying your child...it should be Ares'. And it wasn't my plan to be miserable right now!" tinalikuran niya ito at tinawag si Manong Lito.

Manong Lito reluctantly followed her orders. Nagsimula na itong magmaneho. Sa review mirror ay makikita ang nakatayong at laglag ang balikat na si Munzio. He looked really hurt and broken. She ignored the sinking feeling she felt deep inside.




SHE ABSENTMINDEDLY got out of the car. Hindi siya makaniwala sa sinabi ng doctor kanina tungkol sa buhay na nasa kanyang sinapupunan. Her doctor's voice still echoed in her ears.

"Ma'am okay lang po ba kayo?" nag-aalalang boses ni Sisa ang nagpagising sa diwa niya.

Her knees gave up and she weakly sat at carpeted floor of living room. She cried harder when Sisa comfortedly carressed her back. She badly need someone to confide right now. Hindi niya namalayan ang oras sa kanyang pag-iyak. All she wanted to do was cry her heart out.

Natataranta na si Sisa na tinawag si Manang Rosa. Kapwa parehong pinipilit na mapatahan siya pero hindi maampat ang kanyang mga luha sa pagtulo. Nang nag-angat siya ng tingin nakita niya si Munzio na nakamasid sa kanya. Sad and hurt expression on his face.

Uncontrollable rage seeped through her chest at the sight of him. She had this inner urge to hurt him more so she angrily sauntered towards him. Tinangka siyang pigilan ni Manang Rosa at Sisa pero hindi niya pinansin ang mga paghawak ng mga ito.

Magkabilaang sampal ang idinapo niya sa pisngi ni Munzio. His face turned sideways at the impact of her slap but never spoke any objections.

"I hate you! I hate you very much! I hope one day, karma will hit so bad that you will regret every ounce of bad deeds you have done. I'm sure hell will be happy to welcome you when your time comes!" she shouted her to her heart content.

Umiwas siya sa sakit na bumalatay sa mukha nito sa sinabi niya.

Tumalikod siya papunta sa direksiyon ng kanyang kuwarto. Lumipas ang oras at hindi na siya lumabas sa kuwarto. Nagpadala na lang siya ng hapunan sa kanyang kuwarto. Unti-unti na niyang kinakalma ang sarili sa nangyaring emotional breakdown kanina. Hindi siya ganoon kaemosyonal ngunit sigurado nakaapekto ang kanyang pagbubuntis sa pagtindi ng kanyang mga emosyon.

  She was drowning herself from a problem being thrown at her face. She didn't know whether be happy or not at the news. Her doctor told her that she was carrying a twin!

Namomroblema na nga siya kung paano palalakihin ang kanyang anak. How can she raise two children properly in a loveless marriage? How could she raise them when she harbours huge loathing at the people around her. Alam niyang unti-unting nababago ng galit ang kanyang pag-uugali which is not healthy for her and the baby. Hindi na niya makita ang dating sarili niya. All she can see was a bitter and angry person.

Napabangon siya ng may malakas na kumalabog sa ibaba. She hesitantly opened her doors and slowly descended on the stairs. Nakita niyang pasuray suray na inaalalayan ni Manang Rosa si Munzio na halatang lasing. Narinig niya na pinagsasabihan ito ni Manang Rosa.

"Manang...you know... it's all my fault," she heard Munzio said.

"Ano ba, Munzio, umayos ka nga! Ba't na kasi naiisipan mo namang maglasing," Manang let out a irritated huff.

"It's all my fault....my fault..." paulit-ulit lamang na sambit nito.

She silently walk back toward her room. Now, wouldn't deny that she felt guilty of what she witnessed, that she regretted her attitude earlier. But she shouldn't, right? She felt something tugged in her heart. Is it pity? No, it's something more. Something she already felt before. Something that she's afraid to recognize.
