CHAPTER 24

'AFTER KNOWING IT'

ALTHYS TOKUGAWA

I SPENT whole night infront of Art's house waiting for him to come home, I was freezing to death but I didn't care.It was raining from twelve am 'til now.

"Art-" napahinto ako sa pag-tawag sakanya nang lumabas siya sa sasakyan

He opened the door for someone and Erin walk out from his car, kunot noo ko siyang tinignan at binigyan ng nagtatakang tingin pero wala siyang emosyong isinukli saakin.None of them gave me any emotions.

"What are you doing infront of my house?" tanong ni Art

"I.. I was waiting for you" sagot ko sakanya but he just slightly nods

Bago pa siya nakasagot ay sunod sunod na sasakyan ang nag-park sa likod ng sasakyan n'ya at doon nag-labasan ang mga Venizelos guards.They just stood there after getting out of their cars.

I felt so embarrass because I was so wet from the rain and they're staring at me as if they want me to leave already.

"Nandito na ako, what do you need?If none then you can leave already because my wife.. wants to be alone with me" napanganga naman ako nang hawakan n'ya ang kamay ni Erin

They intertwined their hands and I am murdering them in my mind already, I don't know what to feel because I am mad and embarrass at the same time.Just what the fuck is this?

"Wife?She's your wife?But you just kissed-" he cut me off by showing their marriage ring

I was too stunned to speak, why does it fucking hurt so much?We don't even have a freaking label yet here I am, crying in my damn mind.

"Yes, she's my wife, we just got married last night" sagot niya habang tahimik lang si Erin sa tabi n'ya

Inilibot ko ang paningin at halos lamunin ako ng hiya dahil pinagtititigan na kami ng mga guards, I just sigh and starts walking away and as soon as I walk pass them my tears began to fall.

I sat there waiting for him to come home just to make sure he's safe from his family then ito 'yung aabutan ko sa umaga?Kasal na s'ya?He gave me mixed signals, he kissed me in the trial court.He hugged me from behind that day, we held hands and now he's married?

The worse thing is I am not even invited to his wedding, what am I?A fling?Pampalipas oras n'ya kaya niya nagawa 'yung mga bagay na hindi n'ya naman dapat ginagawa?

I thought that my mind would change already, that love is really a real thing but now I completely change my mind.Damn you, Art.

"Paalis na po ba kayo?" napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang may marinig akong boses ng isang batang lalaki

Kinagat ko ang pang ibabang labi ko para pigilan ang mga luha ko, nilingon ko ang batang lalaking 'yon saka ko siya pilit na nginitian.

"Oo, dito rin ba ang daan mo?" tanong ko sakanya at agad siyang umiling

Sinenyasan niya ako na pantayan ang height niya na agad kong ginawa, hinawi n'ya ang buhok sa mukha ko at pinunasan ang luha ko na lalong nagpa-ngiti saakin.
