CHAPTER 33

Chapter 33

"Roxen" tawag ko sakanya

As expected agad agad naman itong lumingon saaking Banda Mula sa may stove.

" Yes love? " He answered smoothly

" Umh.. I have a question " parang naghuhurumintido na Ang aking puso sa mga oras na iyon. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba Ang nararamdaman ko. Natatakot ako sa kung ano Mang possibleng sabihin niya.

" Ask away, po " I was stunned when I heard him say 'po he looked like a kid being called on by his mother. Damn!

He slowly turned to me. Sakto ata at naluto na niya Ang beefsteak dahil agad naman niyang sinara Ang stove at gas.

Nakatayo Siya Ng tuwid sa aking harapan ngayon. And he was cornering me by the sides of the high chair.

" Hmm? " I knew he was getting impatient. Pero Teka nga Kasi kinakabahan ako!

" Umh ano.. Remember when I called you that night? "

He looked away for a second trying to remember that incident.

" Was it the time you called me to check on me? " He asked

" O- Oo " I stuttered.

He then nodded then turned to me

" is there anything wrong? "

" Ano Kasi when I called you right before you finished what you were saying I heard an unfamiliar voice from the phone " medyo nahiya pa akong ipagpatuloy iyon lalo pat nakikinig talaga Siya Ng mabuti sa sinasabi ko

Shit! I look like an investigator here!

" Yes love, continue please " shit! ito na nga ba Ang sinasabi ko Now I feel so goddamn nervous!

" Umh.. may I ask who was it? "
I looked at him with pure curiousness.

He looked so calm though.

He looked at me and smiled.

" The one I was with that night was My godfather's Daughter. Don't get me wrong love we weren't alone, we were at a family gathering. Causing for us to meet again. She actually came from London. She just went back here in Malibu now as per her parents request. I'm sorry if I made you overthink "

God! I feel so awful inisip ko ba naman na may mahal na siyang iba. Oh god!

I just realized that I started crying.

" W-what's wrong love? Why are you crying? " He asked concerned.

Goodness roxen! I hate myself right now!

" I-im sorry love! I.. I thought you were cheating behind my back that's why I got angry at you! I didn't know that she was your godfather's Daughter " I cried more in his arms. He hugged me gently still keeping in mind the wound I have.

" Don't cry love, I already told you it's my fault I didn't tell you sooner. Actually she also came back to let her parents know about her engagement and also to let me know, she texted me first before she even landed "

God why are you telling me this! I feel so awful for thinking badly of you!

" I just read the articles in social media right after the gathering, that's why I rushed to you. It was a misunderstanding, love the girl In the picture was her. She hugged me right after she told me that she was engaged and is planning to get married sooner. Now, I'm not telling you this to make you feel awful I'm telling you this because I don't want you to overthink anymore. I was careless I know. I'm sorry love. Back when we were young she called me Roxie because she was having difficulties pronouncing the letter 'N up til now even though she already matured she still calls me that. But I can assure you that I had no feelings for her. I treated her as a sister nothing else. "
