Dealing With Her Ruthless Husband

CHAPTER 43: PLEAD GUILTY

12 YEARS AGO. . .

Cali was waiting for his very best friend, Denver The Great, in front of their faculty - faculty of Architecture. He saw Denver's car parked in front. Isang babae ang bumaba mula sa kotse ng kaibigan niya, as expected, magulat ka kung walang babae ang bababa sa kotse niya. Para ngang pampasahero ang kotse, bayad na lang ang kulang para maging legal na business.

Denver parked his car at the corner of the faculty. Matikas at suwabe kung gumalaw ang isang Denver Ybarra. Nakasimangot na bumati sa kaniya si Cali.

"Kaya ba ayaw mong sunduin kita dahil may ihahatid ka?" Tanong ni Cali.

Denver just smiled at him plainly.

"Hindi ko siya hinatid," rason naman ni Denver. "Sa ikatlong faculty pa siya, mahal ang diesel."

"As expected, tarantado ang lolo niyo." Cali sighed after.

Hindi na pinansin ni Denver si Cali, at si Cali naman, matagal ng sanay pero hindi pa rin niya kayang makita itong araw-araw ay iba-iba- babae.

"Grabe naman ang tiwala mo sa mga rosas mo. Pa'no kung biglang isa sa kanila niloko ka lang, sasabihin sa iyo na wala siyang boyfriend kahit mayro'n, huwag mong sabihin idadamay mo ako sa mga kalokohan mo."

"Bet they can't. Once they lie," Denver said.

"They die," sabay nilang ani.

They study at a prestigious schools that only the higher ups can afford. Knowing Ybarras, the biggest and most influential business owner, once their younglings defy Denver, they will perish.

But the truth is, hindi naman ganoon ka kunsitidor si Madame Madelle at Sir Anthony. Kaya lang, Denver is a public image and a hot topic. Imagine seeing a news in the televisin saying the most handsome and the only heir of Ybrra Construction Firm is a cassanova. That actually sound hot.

"Darating iyong araw na hindi mo na mapapairal 'yang ugali. At kapag dumating ang araw na 'yon, I will never look at you. Tutulungan ko pang lumayo 'yong katadhana mo."

"I don't believe in destiny. Love is just for KSP generation," Denver clearly said.

Cali keeps on murmuring. Denver doesn't care, he lets his friend be. Kung gaano kasanay si Cali sa ugali niya, ganoon din naman si Denver sa kaniya. They're best friends after all.

"Ah, I have something to do first. See you at the cafeteria," paalam ni Cali habang si Denver naman ay hindi man lamang lumingon.

When the time came, Cali was already at the cafeteria. Kitang-kita ang nga nakaw na sulyap sa kaniya ng kababaihan, he then rolled his eyes. Denver will only entertain you if and only if you're a high ranking that can be taken advantage of.

Cali, a very observant and loyal friend, nakikita niya lahat, at hindi nakaligtas sa kaniya ang babaeng mukhang napadaan lang ngunit hindi binitawan ang tingin kay Denver hanggang sa makaupo ito sa harap ni Cali. Then the girl also looked at her, Cali winked at her, mabilis na nag-iwas ng tingin ang babae at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad habang ang sketchpad nito ay nasa kaniyang dibdib at ang mga palad niya ay nasa kaniyang mga mukha.

Wait, was it for me or for Denver?

"Next time, choose a better place. Ayoko na naa-out-of-place ka dahil sa 'kin."

"Tangina mo. Mayabang," ani Cali. "What are you planning after graduating. We're about to graduate."

"Depende sa takbo ng isip nina Mommy. Pero kung desisyon ko, I wanna travel first," sagot ni Denver.

"Travel at tikman lahat ng delicacies sa bawat bansa. And delicacies, I mean babae."

"Anong tingin mo sa 'kin, f*ckboy?"
