The Trinity Sorority Series: The Arranged Marriage (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty

-Nina-

Marco became busy na minsan ay di niya ako masundo. Ang family driver nila ang sumusundo sa akin kaya nagtataka ako or may kutob na may ginagawa na naman si Marco. Dahil paranoid ako ay kinausap ko sina Trixie at Felicity via Skype para mailabas ang hinala ko.

"Alam ninyo padalas ng padalas ang pagiging busy ni Marco. I mean, he rarely fetches me and I feel something is up." I said frowning habang natigilan ang dalawa nang narinig ang sinabi ko.

"Baka busy lang." Sabay nilang sagot.

"Busy sa pambabae?" Tanong ko na may galit.

"Ikaw naman Nina porket busy, nambabae na? Di ba pwedeng may ginagawa lang?" Si Felicity habang nagcocompute sa calculator para sa accounting nila which I used to do.

"Ginawa na niya noon at kaya niya ring gawin ngayon."

"Naku wag ka ngang paranoid.
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt okay? He has businesses to take care of, Nins." Sagot naman ni Trixie na alam kong naglalaro sa laptop habang kinakausap kami.

"Teka nga! Saang side ba kayo ha? His or mine?"

"Ofcourse sa iyo sis! Team Nina kami! It's just that malay mo may ginagawa lang siya." Mungkahi ni Felicity.

"Saka he's doing his best to fix the marriage right? Just learn to trust him." Sagot naman ni Trixie.

"Okay. Fine!" Sabi ko naman at nag-usap na kami about our online business na si Trixie ang nagmamanage.

The next day medyo sumakit ang ulo ko dahil sa mga estudyante na naging makulit na. Nang sinundo ako ni Marco ay di ko napigilang maging suplada sa kanya.

"Hi! Sorry. I just needed to tie some loose ends in France so I wasn't able to fetch you everyday." Sabi niya at binuksan ang pinto.

"No one's forcing you to fetch me. Saka if you're going to have affairs, sana discreet lang." I said irritably and saw his jaw ticking which means galit siya.

"Nina, I never cheated on you no matter how I tried."

"How about Corinne?"

"She's nothing and I was drunk that time."

"So if kabit mo magtatanong tungkol sa akin, she's nothing din ba sagot mo?" Di ko mapigilang magtanong.

"No! I love you, Nina. Is it that hard to believe?"

"Talaga? As if gusto mong makipagbalikan when all along, you just wanted to be part of the baby. Hindi mo kailangan magpretend na mahal mo ako para sa bata. Hindi ko ipagkakait sa iyo ang baby." Lumakas ang boses ko at tila maiiyak na.

"Merde Nina! I am not saying those things just for the baby. I do love you! I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I can wait until you're ready to let me in. For now, let me love you."

I nearly choked on what he said kasi it was too good to be true right? Like they said once bitten, twice shy. Kaya ko pa bang papasukin siya muli sa buhay ko? Minabuti ko na lang na tumahimik habang nagmamaneho siya papunta sa bahay.

"Nina I hope that when our baby's born, you'll live with me. I'll take care both you." There was tenderness on his words as he looked at me hopefully.

"Paano si tatay?" I asked dodging his question.

"He would stay with us too so we'd be together to take care of our baby."

Hindi ako sumagot bagkus tumingin na lang sa may bintana. Nakailang lingon si Marco sa akin at di ko pinansin. Nang makababa ako ng sasakyan ay hinawakan niya ang aking kamay.
