Living With Him

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Samson was just rooted in his place and still couldn't believe what he's seeing right now. He can't believe his eyes and he doesn't know if he's hallucinating or not.

He stayed at his place just looking intently at the woman. He wanted to come closer to her, hug her and feel her warmth to make sure if she's really his wife. But seeing the woman right now, she was far way different from Rania.

This woman look sophisticated, filled with grace and class. Her elegance screams power and class in so many ways and from her head to toe.

No, she's not my wife. She's not Rania.

Bulong ni Samson sa kaniyang sarili habang iniiling ang ulo niya. Naguguluhan siya at hindi niya maintindihan kung ano ba ang nararamdaman niya sa mga oras na iyon.

Samson just went black and his mind doesn't work properly. He couldn't believe it. If it's Rania, will he go to her and approach her?

If Rania's alive, why does she hide herself and let him experience multiple pain?

"Hindi. Namamalikmata lang ako." Pinakalma ni Samson ang sarili niya at ipinikit ang kaniyang mga mata.

Kailangan niyang ayusin ang sarilĺi niya. Stress at pagod lang siguro siya sa trabaho kaya kung ano nalang ang nakikita niya. Huminga ng malalim si Samson bago niya buksan muli ang mga mata.

Nang tingnan niya muli ang gawi ng babae ay wala na ito doon pero naroon pa ang mga kasama nito kanina.

Tama nga si Samson. Imahinasyon niya lamang iyon. Isang ilusyon marahil ay namimiss na niya si Rania ng sobra kaya nakikita niya na naman ito ulit.

"Sir, ayos lang ba kayo?" Tanong ng assistant ni Samson kaya tumango siya rito at naglakad na papunta sa lamesa nila.

"I'll just go to the rest room. Please tell them, I'll be there soon." Ani Samson sa assistant niya ng makaramdam siya ng tawag ng kalikasan.

"Alright sir. I will inform them." Tugon naman ng assistant niya at nauna na itong pumunta sa lamesa nila para ipaalam sa mga kameeting niya na matatagalan na muna siya.

Kaya ang ginawa ni Samson ay pumunta siya sa rest room para gawin ang dapat niyang gawin.

Habang papunta na sa rest room ay may nakasalubong at nakabanggang babae si Samson.

"Oh my bad, I'm so sorry." Ani ng babae sa british nitong accent at pinulot ang sarili nitong bag.

Humingi rin ng paumanhin si Samson sa babae at ng mag angat ito ng tingin ay natigilan si Samson at tumigil siya sa paghinga.

Hindi siya makapaniwala sa nakikita niya ngayon. Gusto niyang sampalin ang sarili para malaman kung nag-iilusyon na naman ba siya at imahinasyon lang ang nakikita niya.

"Excuse me, you're blocking my way, Mister."

Samson's heart skip a beat upon hearing that voice again. The same warmth and feeling he feels everytime he hears that voice.

This is not real. This is not true.

"R-Rania..." mahina ang boses ni Samson ng sambitin muli ang pangalan na iyon.

Nakita ni Samson ang pagkunot ng noo ng babae at naguguluhan na napatingin sa kaniya.

"Do you know me?" tanong ng babae kay Samson.

Napaatras si Samson ng tanungin iyon ng babae at mas lumukso ang puso niya dahil sa reyalisasyon. Hindi siya makapaniwala at naguhuluhan si Samson. Hanggang sa unti-unting tumulo ang mga luha sa mata ni Samson.

Isang reyalisasyon ang lumukob sa kaniya na hindi isang ilusyon ang nakikita niya ngayon kundi isang tao na buhay at totoo na kamukhang-kamukha ni Rania.

"R-Rania..." the voice of the man in front of her stuttered and looking at her intently.

She was confused with his reactions. He seems to act like he knew her or something else she wasn't sure about.

"Do you know me?" Rania asked him and he stepped back because of that question which made him more weirder.

I don't have time for this. Rania exclaimed in her mind and was about to walk away when she saw tears dripping off his eyes.

Seeing him like that, make Rania's heart ache unknowingly. She got confused of herself and will finally walk away but then suddenly the man in front of her hugged her.

"Rania... I miss you so much." The man said in between his tears and Rania was just lost and didn't know what to react.

She can feel her heart beating and racing fast during the hug and she feels familiar with the feeling. She feels really comfortable and safe in that hug. A feeling she seems to miss and longed for a very long time.

"W-Why are you hugging me?" Rania stammers upon asking the man.

He broke off from the hug and looked intently at her. "It's you right? You're Rania, right? You're alive! You came back to me!" The man crazily said and held her in both her shoulders.

Rania shoved him off and stared at him flatly. "Who the hell is Rania? You might have mistook me for someone else. My name is Margarette and you're crossing your line, Mister." Rania told him off and gave him a death glare.

She needs to be in character since she is there to do the plan and do her work. She doesn't know the man but she's very certain that the man knows her very well.

No, he knows Rania very well. Another piece added to her puzzle and in time she will slowly solve them one by one and piece by piece.

The man stepped forward to reach her but she gave him a death glare which made him stop.

"Look mister, I don't know who you are and I don't intend to give confusion. If you'd excuse me, I have some business to attend." Rania said and was about to walk away when the man hold her hand stopping her.

"Don't go. Why are you doing this to me, Rania? Why are you hurting me so much?" Pain is visible in his voice when he asked her. He was also sobbing.

More confusion and questions added to Rania's mind with what the man said. She's obvoiusly not acting but only pretending that she's a different person and she doesn't really know the man in front of him.

"Nonsense! This is harassment! Leave me alone." May riin na saad ni Rania at iniwan ang lalaki roon na umiiyak.

Rania left the place as soon as possible so she can avoid the man that gives her more confusion.

-----

Naiwan si Samson na naguguluhan at panay pa rin ang pagtulo ng kaniyang mga luha.

Hindi siya pwedeng magkamali. Hindi siya nagkakamali. Alam niyang si Rania iyon. Ramdam niya at alam niya sa pamamagitan ng tibok ng puso niya.

Si Rania iyon pero bakit ito nagpapanggap na hindi siya kilala? At ang malaking katanungan, bakit buhay ito?

Isang tao lang ang maaaring makasagot sa katanungan ni Samson at si Zachariah iyon. Kailangan niyang malaman ang buong katotohanan kung buhay nga ba o patay na si Rania.

Kailangan niyang malaman kung bakit siya nililinlang ng mga ito at bakit sila nagsinungaling sa kaniya.
