Chapter 32

"Let's go." Tinalikuran niya ako at nauna pabalik sa sasakyan niya.
Sumunod naman ako agad sa kaniya. Medyo nahirapan pa akong sumabay sa malalaking hakbang niya dahil sa haba rin ng mga binti niya. And I was wearing high heels shoes for work.
Tahimik kami ni Hale habang nasa loob ng sasakyan niya pauwi. He was silently driving and I was quietly sitting on the shotgun seat.
"Nakauwi ka na pala..." sabi ko naman nang nakauwi na kami sa bahay at papasok na sa loob ng mansyon.
"Yeah." tipid lang na sagot na Hale habang nauuna pa rin sa aking pumasok ng bahay.
And we were greeted by the kids, too. Kaya sa kanila na lang din muna natuon ang atensyon namin. As usual we ate dinner with the kids. And then said our good nights to each other after.
Umakyat at pumasok na rin kami ni Hale sa kwarto namin. Tahimik pa rin siya kaya hindi rin ako makapagsalita...
And then he started removing his dress shirt by unbuttoning the buttons one by one...
"Is there another reason why you want to work at their company?" He turned to me.
Nakatayo lang naman ako doon sa gitna ng master bedroom at mukhang naghihintay lang din sa kaniya.
Tumingin ako kay Hale. "Ano..."
He sighed and continued removing the white dress shirt from his upper body.
"Narinig mo ba ang usapan namin ni Allan kanina?"
"Tsk..."
"Hale, narinig mo rin ang sagot ko sa kaniya?" Lumapit ako sa kaniya.
Hale remained not saying anything.
"At malinaw na iyon ngayon kay Allan." I added.
Bumaling sa akin si Hale. "Dati pa naman niyang alam na kasal ka na nga sa akin. Why was he still trying to pursuing you?"
Umiling-iling ako kay Hale. "Hindi, Hale. Nakapag-usap na kami ni Allan, at okay na..."
"I was just away for a week pagkatapos aabutan ko nang someone was already confessing to my wife?"
Umiling pa ako kay Hale. "Hindi nga, Hale..."
Pumasok siya sa loob ng walk-in closet. Sinundan ko naman siya doon. "Hale," tawag ko sa kaniya.
Nang hindi pa rin niya ako binalingan ay inabot ko na siya at hinawakan siya sa braso niya. "Hale, we can't continue being like this..."
Tumigil siya sa pang-iignora sa akin at tumingin na sa akin. He sighed and looked to our side.
Hindi ko inalis ang hawak ko sa kaniya. "Wala nang iba pang dahilan kung bakit doon ako nagtrabaho sa kompanya nina Allan ay dahil lang nandoon din naman nagtatrabaho rin ngayon si Aria. At, Hale, sinabi ko na ito sa 'yo. Gusto ko lang din na maging less dependent sa 'yo..." And then I realized what I was doing and what I did. Ayaw ko nang maging dependent kay Hale. Iyon ang sinabi ko sa sarili ko. Pero gusto ko rin na maayos kami...
