Love-struck

Chapter 47: Confused Paris

Paris's PoV:

Here I am, staring at the pretty pregnant woman who's looking at me intently.

Ang kaninang nagniningning nitong mga mata ay nawala. Her eyes are now full of sadness. Parang anytime, pwedeng-pwede nang umagos ang kanyang mga luha.

Hindi ko maiwasang magitla. Damn. Did I said something wrong? Mukha ngang may nasabi akong hindi ko dapat sabihin.

Pero sinagot ko lang naman 'yung tanong. I just cleared her assumptions, para hindi na sya umasa pa.

As far as I remember, hindi ako nagkaroon ng asawa. I'm single. Oh wait, mali pala. I'm engaged to someone. May fiance na ako.

I tried my best to remember her face, dahil baka mamaya ay kilala ko sya dati. But no, this is my first time seeing her.

Imposibleng makalimutan ko sya dahil kakaiba ang ganda ng babaeng 'to. Her beauty is unique compared to the others. Ang lakas din ng dating nya sa akin.

Tinigil ko na ang pag-iisip dahil sumasakit ang ulo ko. Parang pinupukpok ng isang martilyo.

Matamang tinapunan ko uli ng tingin ang babaeng yumakap sa akin kanina.

For some unknown reason, I just felt that my heart skipped a beat. What's wrong with it? Bakit bigla-bigla na lang bumibilis ang pagtibok ng puso ko? This is my first time to experience this. Not even with my fiancée.

"No! That's not true! Wag ka namang magbiro ng ganyan, Paris!" Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her voice is shaking. Nasasaktan sya.

My heart ached. Parang nasasaktan din ako na makita syang ganito. May mali na talaga sa akin.

Kinuha ko ang panyong ibinigay ko sa kanya. I started wiping her tears. She shouldn't cry like this for someone like me. I'm not worthy of her tears.

"Miss, I'm really sorry, but I'm not your wife." I guess, nagkaroon lang ng misunderstanding. Siguro ay kamukha ko ang asawa nya kaya napagkamalan nya ako.

But in the first place, papaano nya nalaman ang pangalan ko?

Umiling-iling sya. She grabbed the collar of my shirt. Nahigit ko bigla ang aking paghininga nang ilapit nya ang kanyang mukha sa akin.

Too close. Parang ma-susuffocate ako.

"So you want this to be in a hard way, huh?" Naging blangko bigla ang kanyang expression. She's staring at me with coldness on her eyes.

"Maybe, makakatulong ang gagawin kong 'to para tigilan mo na ang pag-arte na hindi mo ako kilala."

"I'm telling you th——" Hindi ko na natapos pa ang aking balak na sabihin nang maramdaman ko ang pagdampi ng isang malambot na bagay sa aking labi.

It was her lips, and now she's kissing me.

Napaawang ang aking bibig dahil sa ginawa nya. I was left in shock. I was electrified. I can feel an unexplainable tingling sensation in my stomach. It was magical.

Nablangko bigla ang aking isipan. I can't move any muscle. I think my heart's going to explode dahil sa bilis ng tibok nito.

What's with this woman? Bakit ganito na lang ang epekto nya sa akin.

I snapped into reality nang magbawi na sya. "Now, naaalala mo na ba ako, Paris?"

Nanatili akong tahimik. Her eyes are screaming with so much desperation. I'm thinking of a way kung paano ko masasabi sa kanya na hindi sya masyadong masasaktan.

"Come on, let's go to our home. We miss you so much, Daddy Love."

We? Is she referring to her and her baby? I felt awe for her. Siguro ay iniwan sila ng kanilang baby daddy. But no, I know to myself na wala akong naging asawa.
