Prisoner Wife

Chapter 27

Allison Fae

NAGULAT na lang ako kinabukasan na nasa bahay na namin si Blaze. Nagising na lang ako na nilalaro na nito ang anak namin sa sala.

I asked Sabrina kung kanina pa si Blaze and she said yes. Maaga pa lang ay pumunta na ito at siya rin ang nagluto ng breakfast na kinain ko kanina.

We didn’t have talk yet, because he is still busy playing to our baby.

“Wow, you’re walking. . .” he said and I can hear how amused he is. “How I wished I was there while you’re growing and I saw you practicing how to walk.” bulong nito pero rinig ko naman dahil nasa likod lang nila ako nakaupo sa sofa.

Hindi niya ako napansin dahil nasa kay Dio talaga ang atensyon niya, sobrang ingat na ingat ito na baka may maapakan si Dio or mauntog ito kung saan. E, safe naman dito sa sala, may mat sa sahig, inalis ko rin ang lamesa at walang kabinet dito dahil nakadikit sa dingding ang television, at ang ibang palamuti sa bahay at pansamatalang tinanggal ko muna lalo na’t masyadong malikot si baby Dio.

“D-dada,” I heard my son murmured.

Shocked was written on Blaze face, he didn’t know that coming and I think that was the first he heard Dio calling him dada.

“C-can you say it again?” nauutal nitong sambit. “Say it again, baby please?”

Tila naintindihan naman ni Dio si Blaze, he giggle while clapping his small hands. “Dada,”

I head Blaze said, “Oh, my God.” he muttering that for a seconds.

“Yes, baby. I’m your dada,” masaya nitong sambit at hinagkan ang anak. “I’m your dada and you’re my baby.”

Mapait akong napangiti. If I didn’t choose to leave, what will happen to us? Our relationship will work?

DAMANG-DAMA ko ang malamig na hangin at tunog ng alon na nagmumula sa dagat.

Since malapit sa tabing dagat ang bahay namin, malaya akong nakakalanghap ng sariwang hangin.

Lumabas muna ako sa ’ming bahay at iniwan do’n ang mag-ama, hinayaan ko muna silang magkaroon ng oras para sa isa’t isa lalo na’t may karapatan naman si Blaze sa anak niya. Ayaw ko rin naman ipagdamot si Dio sa kaniya.

Buti na lang hndi gano’n kainit ang araw kahit tanghaling tapat. Pagmamay-ari ng pamilya namin itong resort kaya wala kang makikitang mga tao.

Napalingon ako sa likod ng makarinig ng tawanan—then I saw Blaze laughing while Dio’s giggling.

My lips formed into a smile. Para silang mga anghel habang nagtatawanan. I can see how happy Dio is.

“Oh, you’re my mama is looking on us. Is she in love with me again?” he joked.

I saw Dio giggle. “M-mama,”

Napailing na lang ako saka lumapit sa kanila at kinuha sa kaniya si Dio.

“Hi, baby. You want to swim?”

“M-mama,”

“Yes, baby. I’m your mama,” nakangiti kong sambit.

Pumunta kami sa ilalim ng puno at naupo r’on, habang si Blaze ay nakasunod lang sa amin.

“Hmm, you really become a good mother. . .”

Napalingon naman ako sa kaniya dahil sa sinabi niya. Napatango ako saka ngumiti ng malaki.

“Yes, and I’m so proud of that. Kinaya ko kahit wala ka. . .” mahina kong sambit pero alam kong narinig niya ito. Nakita ko kung paano siya natigilan, umiwas ito nang tingin.

He chuckled bitterly. “Y-yeah, of course. Without me. . .”

Pareho kaming natahimik at pinagmasdan si Dio na nilalaro ang buhangin.

“So,” panimula niya, peke itong umubo bago nagsalita ulit. “How are you? How’s your life without me?” he asked at pansin ko ang pagdiin nito sa salitang ‘without me.’ 

Is he serious asking me like that?

It’s hard to live without you. “Fine. And peaceful. . .”

Tumango-tango ito at kita ko sa mata nito ang lungkot. “Glad to h-hear that,”

“Hmm. How about you, how are you?”

Hindi ito sumagot agad, tumingin ito sa akin.

“I’m doing good, I guess. . .” he said. “But something’s missing.”

Walang nagsalita sa amin ng ilang minuto, hinayaan na lang namin si Dio na maglaro at tumakbo sa buhangin.

“Be careful baby,”

Tumayo ako at akmang hahabulin ko si Dio kaso pinigilan ako ng kasama ko. “Ako na, just stay here,”

Hindi na ako umangal pa, hinayaan kong habulin nito ang anak namin.

Anak namin. . .

“Hey,”

“Oh, raven. Why are you here?”

His eyebrow raised. “Bakit, bawal? Porque—” I cut him off.

“Shut up, Raven. I’m just asking, I thought you have a work”

He chuckled. “Yes, I have. Dumalaw lang ako, and I bought a donuts. . .”

“With milk tea?” excited kong tanong.

He nodded while chuckling. “Yes, of course. Makakalimutan ko ba ang favourite mong milk tea?”

I scream like a teenager and give him a friendly hug.

“You’re the best,”

Napabitaw ako sa yakap ng biglang sumingit sa gitna namin si Dio.

“Oh, baby Dio. I have pasalubong,”

“Tito daddy,” my son cheerfully said.

“Bakit ’yan nandito?” nabigla naman ako dahil sa biglang pagsulpot ni Blaze sa tabi ko.

“Masama ba?”

“Yes, because you’re still married and you’re having an affair to your manager.”

I can’t help but to laugh loudly. “I-I am married? And I’m having an affair? You funny, Blaze. . .”

“Do I look like playing here Mrs. Javier?”

Natahimik naman ako dahil sa sinabi nito. Kumunot ang noo ko at nagtataka ko itong tinignan.

I don’t remember that I’m still married.

“Excuse me, as far I remember, I already signed the annulment contract—” he cut me off.

“But I didn’t. . .”

My eyes widened. “W-what?”

“I didn’t because I can’t. . .”

My mind can’t process what he said.

“Umaasa ako, Ally. Umaasa akong maayos pa tayo kahit alam kong wala akong karapatan, I am the one who hurts you. Alam kong sobrang kapal na mukha ko para sabihin sa ’yo, pero mahal kita. I know all the things I’ve done is wrong but—”

“Shsh, shut up. I don’t what to hear anything from you. It’s already done, I’m doing good for the past few months without you. . .”

I said and walked away.

I know Raven heard everything that Blaze said so I think he already knew what he’s going to do. Nasa kaniya ang anak ko kaya alam ko naman na susunod siya.

At saka, okay na ako, e. Ang lakas ng loob niyang pumasok ulit sa buhay namin ng anak. Masaya na kami ng wala siya, I already moving forward.
