The Unwanted Husband (Seulrene)

Chapter 18

Seulgi's POV

"W-what?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ko. I am in shocked right now, my heart beats faster than unusual. It feels like something explodes inside of me, the over excited balloon inside me burst. I just stood there and look at her.

I am very happy to know that she like me, even if hindi pa iyon love. Pupunta rin naman kami dun, 'diba? I know what's the difference between like and love but still, my heart is so full. Dahil finally! After so many years of trying, hoping, and waiting nabanggit na niya 'yung 3 letter word that I want to hear.

I know my progress na, and I'm so happy. I can't describe what I'm feeling right now all I know is I'm happy.

But is it true?

My smile immediately faded when I remembered all the things she said in the past. I still vividly recall her saying that she would never like me. 'Yung pag date niya to other guys, and even kissing them. Tapos recently lang nakipag date pa siya, 'diba?

I look deeply into her eyes. There's something to it pero hindi ko maturan. I slowly shake my head no. "Y-you're lying. You don't."

I quickly moved away from her. Sinubukan niya ulit lumapit pero lumayo ako agad. "Seulgi, it's true! Maniwala ka sa'kin, all I said is true." Her voice sounded sincere but it's hard for me to believe.

Because how? Sa tuwing may nangyayaring maganda, ang kapalit nun agad sakit. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang isipin na pinaglalaruan niya lang ang feelings ko dahil alam niya.

Sinubukan muli nitong lumapit ngunit lumayo agad ako. "No, Hyun. You don't." Muli kong sabi. You can't blame me, totoong masaya ako but there's something telling me that don't believe her.

"I do! Why do you decide sa kung ano ang nararamdaman ko. I know myself, Seulgi. I know what I feel, believe me." Nakakunot noong sabi nito. Tila naiirita na siya, ako rin I'm frustrated. I don't know what to believe.

"What do you want me to do? I'll do anything para maniwala ka sa'kin. I'll prove it to you." Pagpapatuloy nito. Her voice sounds determined, looks like totoo ang sinasabi niya.

But I need to think...

Magsasalita pa sana ito muli nang bumukas na ang elevator. Agad akong lumabas at nagtungo sa fire exit para bumaba.

"Seulgi! Seulgi! Where are you going?!" Rinig ko pang sigaw nito but I didn't look back and continue.

I need time to think, to process everything. May parte sa'king naniniwala, but malaki ang hindi.

I was walking on my way home. Kanina pa nagtatalo ang isip ko if maniniwala ako or hindi. Don't get me wrong, I'm truly happy after all those years ayan na, she confessed. But hindi pa rin talaga maalisa sa isipan ko if she's just saying it out of boredom or dahil trip lang niya.

But Hyun is not a type of person who likes to trick someone. She's a straightforward person at kung nagsalita na ito, final na. No matter what she says paninindigan niya talaga. That's Hyun's personality, na marami ang ayaw. She has this personality na commanding, even if you're highest in her. Talagang mapapasunod ka sa kahit anong sasabihin niya.

Ganun siya katanyag. Kaya there's part of me na naniniwala talaga. I sighed, I don't know what to do. Dapat na ba ako maniwala?

My thoughts got cut off when my stomach growled. Right, I haven't eat anything after lunch. I look at my watch, it's 11 pm no wonder gutom na ako.

I decided to eat sa karindirya na bukas pa. Nakiusap lang ako sa owner na baka pwede pa ako kumain, pa sarado na sana sila at hinihintay na lang matapos ang natitirang customer.
