THE ARRANGE MARRIAGE (COMPLETED)

(Chapter 41)

Mag-isa lang sa kwarto niya si Chandria ng Matapos ang hapunan. Nakaalis na rin sina Andrew at Vladimir.

Gulong gulo ang isip ni Chandria sa pagkausap sa kanya ni Vladimir. Tila rin nag-rambulan ang puso niya ng yakapin siya nito kanina.

"What are you trying to do Vladimir? I'm over you. Si Andrew na ang mahal ko. You pushed me away to hard to the point na hindi kita mapapatawad..." Sambit ni Chandria sa isip niya hanggang sa nakatulugan niya ang ganoong pag-iisip.

Kinabukasan sinundo si Chandria ni Andrew.

"Where are we going baby...?" Tanong ni Chandria.

"You'll see... It's a surprise..." Sambit ni Andrew.

Hanggang sa nakarating sila sa isang malaking bahay na tila mo nasa bundok Matapos nilang makapasok sa loob ng tagaytay Highlands.

"Don't tell me..." Sambit ni Chandria na kinabahan dahil baka binili na naman nito ang bahay na iyon.

"Relax baby... I just barrowed it from a friend but I can buy it of you want." Sambit ni Andrew teasing Chandria pero pabiro inirapan siya nito.

"Why are we here Andrew?" Tanong ni Chandria sabay harap sa magandang tanawin sa balkonahe.

"I'll miss you my lady..." Sambit ni Andrew at niyakap niya i Chandria mula sa likuran. Bigla naman pumasok sa isip ni Chandria si Vladimir at pagkakayakap nito pero pilit niya itong iniwaksi sa kanyang isip.

"I'll miss you too... You're coming back as soon as possible right?" Tanong ni Chandria.

"Of course I will. Right after the convention. I'm not gonna waste another minute." Sambit ni Andrew.

"I love you Andrew... Remember that..." Sambit ni Chandria.

"I love you too Chandria..." Sambit ni Andrew.

Sa ganoong posisyon ay tahimik nilang pinagmasdan ang mga bituin.

"Chandria..." Sambit ni Andrew.

"Hmmm?" Sambit ni Chandria.

"I know who Vladimir is in your life... I know he's your husband. And I trust you. I know you love me and you're already move on." Sambit ni Andrew.

"Andrew..." Sambit ni Chandria na iyon lang ang tanging nasabi dahil tila nabingi siya sa narinig.

"Shhh... I know all that but it doesn't make me love you less. I just want to kill the bastard for hurting you. You know what... When I met you on the cruise I really thought that he loves you that much, I thought he's too possessive of you. I really envy him at that time. Most especially when I saw the look in your eyes. You loved him so much. "Sambit ni Andrew.

"Those days belong to the past Andrew..." Sambit ni Chandria.

"I know that but I wanna ask you something. Now that you've seen him again... Do you... Do you still feel something...?" Tanong ni Andrew.

"I never say things I don't mean Andrew... I told you I love you and you're the one inside my heart... You ask me If I still feel something for him... Yes... The same hate I have before I left is still here. The same pain I have losing my child... It's still here... "Sambit Chandria na hindi na napigilan ang mga luha kaya bigla siya niyakap ni Andrew.

"Hush baby... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you remember... Stop crying please... It pains me to see you like this... Sorry my lady... I'm just scared... So scared of losing you. It so far my biggest fear... I wouldn't know what to do if that's happens..."Sambit ni Andrew habang yakap yakap si Chandria.

"You have me now... Please don't think such that will hurt you... I will never hurt you."Sambit ni Chandria.

"love you so much Chandria."Sambit ni Andrew bago hinalikan si Chandria sa kanyang labi.
