MRS. AZUCENA

CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER NINE

Victim.

“Huy, Harv—” Naputol ang sasabihin ko ng makita ko kung sino ang kausap nito pagkabalik ko matapos magbihis.

I pursed my lips while looking at them seriously talking about something. I can’t hear what they’re saying since I’m a little bit far from them and their voices aren’t that loud for me to hear them.

Why are they talking? As far as I know, they’re not closed.

I silently ambled in their direction. I’m curious since I could feel the tension building between the two of them.

Makikinig na sana ako sa pinag-uusapan ng dalawa ng biglang may tumawag sa pangalan ko.

I cursed silently in my mind.
I turned to the one staff who called me. “Yes?” I said with a hint of annoyance.

“Naiwan niyo po sa loob,” aniya sabay pakita sa akin ng butterfly hair clip na bigay ni Rowen sa akin.

Kinuha ko ito sa kanya. “Thanks.” Pagpapasalamat ko at pinasok na ito sa loob ng bag ko.

Ngumiti lang ito at bahagyang yumuko bago tumalikod.

“Marga? Are you done?” it was Harvey’s voice.

Hinarap ko sila Harvey. Agad na nagtama ang tingin naming dalawa ni Tyrion. He didn’t show any emotion as he looked into my eyes and clenched his jaw repeatedly.

Nilipat ko ang tingin kay Harvey at ngumiti. “Yes, tara?” yaya ko.
Hindi ito sumagot sa akin.

Tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin sabay hapit sa aking bewang. Hindi ko iyon inaasahan pero umakto lang ako na hindi ako nagulat.

Ang weird ng kinikilos ni Harvey today ah? He’s being so touchy.
I heard Tyrion clear his throat, so I glanced at him with my brows raised.

“Hon?” Tawag ng isang boses dahilan kung bakit naputol ang tingin ni Tyrion sa akin.

Napatingin ako kay Angie.

Mabilis na nilapitan ni Tyrion ang asawa at hinalikan ito sa labi. Mabilis namang yumakap sa bewang ni Tyrion ang mala ahas na mga braso ni Angie.

I rolled my eyes. I looked at Harvey, who was staring at me. “Tara na,” sabi ko sabay aktong lalakad na ngunit napahinto ako ng humigpit ang hawak ni Harvey sa bewang ko.

With my forehead wrinkled, I looked at Harvey. I can’t read what’s on his mind right now. “Since where are going to eat our dinner. Why not join us? If it’s okay to you two.” Harvey suggested seriously, still intently staring at me.

“Hey, Harvey, sasabunotan kita, wala ako sa mood,” I whispered to him.
I watched him lick his bottom lip and smile at me as he moved in close to murmur something in my ear. “I’m doing you a favor. Walang thank you diyan?” He whispered in my ear.

“Whatever.” Mataray na untag ko.

Wala talaga ako sa mood ngayon at pagod ako pero sige...

“So what now?” sabi ko sabay lingon kila Tyrion at Angie.

“No.” Mariing sagot ni Angie.

I chuckled. “Edi wag, hindi ka kawalan.” I focused my gaze to Tyrion who’s glaring at me. “Tyrion baby? Will you come with us to have dinner? Hmmm?”

“Silence mean yes! Let’s go!” I clapped my hands and smiled.

“No! My husband is not coming with you! We’ll have dinner on our own.” Angie disagreed.
