Island Series: Patricia Tan

Chapter Twenty Four

Chapter Twenty Four

Sobrang riin nang pagkatitig ni Patricia sa kalawakan sa may balkonahe ni Wright. She's loving the moon and it's calming her senses. Sumandal pa sya sa may railings at bumuntong hininga.

"Penny for that thoughts?"

Patricia gasped upon hearing those deep baritone voice. Nilingon nya si Wright na bahagyang ginulo ang buhok at humikab. Umayos sya ng tayo doon.

"May iniisip ka?"

Hindi nya alam kung tatango ba sya or hindi. Pati sya naguguluhan na sa mga iniisip nya ngayon.

"I'm just bothered."

"With?"

"Sa mga bagay na... pwedeng mangyari?" Hindi nya pa siguradong sabi.

Wright walk towards her and held her waist.

"Nothing will happen, as long as your here with me. Is that okay?"

"Pano kung... pasensya na."

"Just trust me on this baby. I want you to be careful always."

Kumurap sya. "B-bakit?"

"We wouldn't know what will happen. Just trust me over this because I am your husband.. hmm.."

Trust is a big word for Patricia. She love Wright so much but she was bothered with some thoughts. Dapat bang hindi sya maniwala kay Thomas? She just barely knew him pero mukhang may alam ito sa bagay na hindi nya alam.

"Halika dito,"

Carefully, Wright hugged her tight. She buried her face on his chest and sighed again.

Sumunod na araw, natiyempuhan na may pupuntahan si Wright kaya mabilis na umalis si Patricia para makipagkita kay Thomas. Gusto nya lang malinawan at pagkatapos na sya gagawa ng desisyon.

Nang makarating sa restaurant, kaagad nyang nakita si Thomas doon. Doon na sya lumapit sa table nito.

"Hey."

Patricia smiled. "Hi. Sorry, ang tagal ko ba?"

"No. You're just in time."

She licked her lips. "Anyway, I just wanted to asked about something. You've mention that Wright is an agent, how can I be so sure?"

"He's an agent, Patricia. Binabayaran sya para lang bantayan ang isang tao na may kinalaman sa taong target nila." Umayos ito ng upo. "And I assume, you are related with his target that's why he approached you."

Napaisip sya bigla.

"You think everything is coincidence?"

"Huh?"

"Lahat ba? Simula ng magkakilala kayo ay coincidence lang?" Tumikhim si Thomas. "Ayoko sanang guluhin ang buhay mo, Patricia pero you are fragile. You are innocent."

"Ano pa bang alam mo, Thomas?"

"Your father." Anito. "Maybe his target is your father..."

Suminghap sya.

"Si Papa?"

"Johan Tan is your father right? He's one of the member of the black market."

"H-hindi ko alam iyan."

"Mas madali kapag sayo sya lalapit diba para ipain sa tatay nya? And why did he marry you?" Hinawakan nito ang kamay nya. "Think of it, Patricia. Can you really trust your husband? May nababanggit ba sya sa buhay nya? Wala diba."

"Thomas... T-tulungan mo ko. I don't wanna involve with this."

Maling mali na nagpadalos dalos sya sa desisyon nya without knowing Wright Perez. Mabilis syang naniwala dito dahil nabulag sya sa pagmamahal.
