PAID WIFE [K.M x L.M]

28

   
   
  
  
tw. mentioning drugs, s*x, and abuse.
  
 
chapter contains on how mingyu find out that tzuyu is cheating on him.
  
  
  
 
 
"it's up to you. pero kung ako sayo, mina. i'd rather kick lisa off to keep her away from him than anything else." i left after i said those words.
  
   
   
  
i sighed really hard just to keep my mind relaxed and calm. i drove way to the mansion, and pick up yuna, the youngest of our family.
  
  
   
   

she smiles when our eyes met. she never treated me like others, even if i'm acting cold and doesn't care about them. "thanks, kuya." she said when she already entered my car. "wonwoo supposed to drive you to your school. why me?" i asked even i already knew the answer. wonwoo choose to be with someone rather than taking her sister to her academy.
  
   
   
   
"kuya said, ate mina commanded him to pick up ate lisa instead." she shrugged, not even bothered. "what a bad liar." i stated and start the car and drove away. from the first place i know na may mabubuong romantic feelings sa loob ni wonwoo. he wouldn't do that kind of stuff for nothing. "liar?" yuna asked confused.
  
   
   
   

"mina never did that." i simply said.
  
  
  
  
  
mina and wonwoo, both of them are bad at lying. saakin nag ta-trabaho si lisa at hindi kay wonwoo. kaya bakit ginagawa at pinapautos niya kay wonwoo ang mga bagay na dapat ako ang gumagawa. wonwoo even volunteered buying an engagement ring na dapat ako ang gagagawa.
  
   
   
   
  
i thought he doesn't believe in love at first sight.
  
  
  
  
  
nahatid ko na si yuna and he thanked me for the second time. hindi ko siya masyadong pinapansin dahil hindi naman kami gaanong ka-close. ayoko din sakanya dahil ayaw niya kay tzuyu.
   
  
   
  
she bid a goodbye and i just nod in reply. i had make sure na nakapasok na siya sa gate ng campus nila bago ako umalis.
  
  
   
   
bumalik ako sa bahay kung saan binili ni dad, para saaming dalawa ni lisa. isa lang ang helper na agad akong binati pagkapasok ko ng bahay. umupo ako sa couch at naghanap ng pwedeng papanoorin na movie. gusto kong magpalipas oras muna. the helper go upstairs para siguro linisin yung kwarto kung saan natutulog si lisa.
  
  
   
 
pero agad siyang bumaba na pinagtaka ko.
  
  
   
  
"why did you go upstairs?" nagulat siya nang bigla ko siyang tanungin. nauutal pa siya bago tuluyang sagutin yung tanong ko.
  
  
   
 
"ano sir, lilinisin ko sa yung kwarto ninyo ni ma'am, pero wala naman pong dumi at malinis din ang higaan." kumot ang noo ko. tumango ako at lumipat na siya sa ibang lugar para mag linis. she doesn't cook, unless uutusan ko siya. hindi naman din siya inuutusan ni lisa, na pinagtataka ko din.
  
   
   
i went upstairs to check it by myself, kung totoo ngang hindi makalat. i opened the door at para ngang hindi na galaw yung kwarto. ang itsura ng room when the time i first and last came here ay ganoon pa din ang itsura ngayon. "maybe, she doesn't sleep?" pumasok ako at tinignan pa yung mga sulok.
  
  
  
"she knows how to clean, huh?"
  
  
  
  
i pop up on her bed, most precisely 'our' bed. nothing speacial in her room, but i'm enjoying the unfamiliar scent. wala pa akong naamoy na ganitong pabango. she's not that bad. she's pretty, knows how to handle herself, she's kind and funny. i just hate her as my wife. the only girl i'm seeing with in the future is only tzuyu.
  
  
  

maybe wonwoo likes her because of that.
  
  
  
  
i suddenly felt guilty about what did i said to mina earlier. what if she convinced herself to separate both of them. na guilty din ako sa pagaakto ko kay lisa. pero hindi na yun magbabago.
  
   
  
i sighed hard.
  
  
   
   
later on, i received a text from unknown number.
  
   
   
unknown

—tzuyu.
