Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

EPILOGUE

=== KYLO ===

It's a Friday so my wife should be in my my office. Except, she's not in my office.

Lumabas ako at nilapitan si Zeny na sekretarya ko pa rin.

"Sir Kylo?"

"Have you seen my wife? Wala siya sa opisina ko."

"Ah...bibili lang daw po ng pagkain."

Sinulyapan ko ang relo ko. "It's just 2pm."

"Ah Sir Kylo, hindi naman sa pakialamera ako ha pero wala po ba kayong napapansin kay Ate Patch?"

Kumunot ang noo ko. "What do you mean?"

"Ah...ang hula ko, bibili ulit siya ng santol at manggang hilaw ngayon. Saka parang...bumibilog si Ate. Buntis po ba siya?"

Hinilot ko ang sentido ko. How am I supposed to ask my wife if she's pregnant? Alangan naman sabihin kong bumibilog na siya. I take it that my wife is not a typical woman but still, she's a woman.

"I'll see Zeny. But you know...she never touched her stocks of tampons for more than a month now."

And I know because I go to the grocery with her every time.

"Tell me...does a pregnant woman sleep a lot? Like a looooooot?"

She takes more than four naps a day! And that's every time I am at home. I make sure to do some chores on weekends para
Makapag pahinga naman ang asawa ko.

"Check na check iyan Sir."

"Wala naman siyang morning sickness. She asked me to stop using my perfume though. I thought she always liked it."

"Ay Sir...pwede rin iyan."

"And she ticks off easily. She never had that bad of a temper."

"Alam niyo Sir, tanungin niyo na lang si Ate Patch."

"What are you going to ask me?"

Nilingon namin si Chinn na kalalabas lang ng elevator. Agad bumaba sa hawak nitong santol, mangga, at bayabas ang mata ko. Then it darted towards her tummy. It was pretty flat still from what I see. Hindi naman ito nagsusuot ng fitted na mga damit kaya hindi ko rin masabi.

"Where you went my wife. I was looking for you."

"Ah...I bought these. These are really good. Nagpabili nga ako kay Nanay Carm."

Inakay ko na ito papasok ng opisina.

"Since when did you start eating those? Akala ko-"

I stopped when I noticed her pool of tears. That's another thing. She's over emotional. And she's never this emotional.

"Ayaw mo ba...na kumain ako nito... Gusto ko lang naman kasi masarap sila. Bakita ba ayaw mo akong kumain ng ganito?"

Tinabihan ko ito sa sofa. "Hey...I was just wondering okay? Sige na kainin mo na iyan. I won't mind."

"Galit ka ba sa akin?"

"What? No!"

"Bakit ang taas ng boses mo? Hindi ka naman ganyan dati. Ayaw mo na sa akin-"

"Pachyderm...please. I am not mad. I love you very much. Stop thinking about nonsense-"

"So nonsense na ang sinasabi ko ngayon? Bakit ba kasi ginagawa mong big deal ang pagkain ko ng ganito?"
