Fake Wife of the Duke

EPILOGUE

Duke Vilchez's POV

To celebrate our victory from the war, we all went to the Beer House. Parang tradition na iyong pagpunta doon pagkatapos ng digmaan.

Dozens of beer were ordered and it was getting loud in the Beer House. The clanking of our stein glass were deafening as we all shouted for victory.

We all chugged the beer from the glass and went to refill it again. I stopped when I felt someone was caressing my thigh.

It was Marlyn, she's an escort and I can see that some of her accompany are hovering around the boys.

Hinayaan ko nalang siya habang iniinom ko ang pangatlo kong baso ng beer.

"Napagod ka siguro sa laban niyo," nang aakit na sabi nito habang pinipisil ang braso ko.

Nilingon ko siya at binigyan ng makahulugang titig. Lumapit ako sa may tenga niya.

"Later,"

Nakita ko siyang namula at hinigpitan ang hawak sa aking braso. Nagpatuloy ako sa pag inom at ginala ang mata sa paligid.

"Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!" sabay-sabay na sigaw ng mga lalaki sa kabilang lamesa.

Napalingon na rin ang mga kasamahan ko. There was a girl, holding a stein glass full of beer and is about to chug it all.

She raised her hands to stop them from shouting at sinunod din naman nila iyon.

Everyone in that table was anticipating for her to finish it in one go and she did.

"Akala niyo ha!" sigaw niya at turo sa mga kasamahan.

Tumawa silang lahat at nagpatuloy sa pag-inom.

Is she also an escort? But she doesn't dress as an escort. Even though she's wearing a ragged clothes I can see her perfect body figure. Her face, is she a foreigner?

Kung taga dito iyan ay siguradong malalaman ko kaagad kasi siya ang maging laman ng bibig ng aking mga kawal. Sa gandang yan ay posibleng mangyari iyon.

Hindi ko namalayan na ilang oras na akong nakamasid sa kaniya.

She's all drunk now. Kung hindi naman kaya ay dapat na siyang tumigil! Bakit pa siya nagpapatuloy sa pag-inom?

I saw her stood up and I felt relieved. I stopped and staredat my glass. Really? I felt relieved.

I scoffed. Dapat ay hinahayaan ko lang siya.

Nakita ko siyang lumabas sa likod ng beer house. I instinctively stood up. I want to follow her.

"Duke!" pigil sa akin ni Marlyn.

Nakakapit pa rin siya sa aking braso. Kinalas ko ang kaniyang kamay at naglakad na rin palabas.

Tinignan ko ang paligid. It was dark and silent opposite from what is happening in the beer house.

Wala nang masyadong tao. Siguro ay hindi pa nakalayo iyon.

And there I saw her, having a difficulty to walk because she's all drunk!

I put my hands in my pocket and went to follow her. She's entertaining to watch while she's having a hard time to walk.

This should be her lesson for drinking too much!

"Aray!" sigaw niya ng matumba na talaga.

Parang nahulog ang puso ko sa kaba. Tinakbo ko kaagad ang pagitan namin at inalalayan siyang tumayo.

I sighed when she continued to walk by her self.

Saan ba siya nakatira? Ako na ang maghahatid.

Lumiko siya sa may pasilyo and I saw her climbing a metal stair.
