CHAPTER 15
NAKATITIG si Alferus sa kinauupuan ni Sanjah habang nasa loob sila ng kuwarto. Sanjha was busy working with her laptop while Alferus was just staring at her, entirely. Reading every part of her.
Gabing-gabi na at hindi pa rin iyo tapos sa ginagawa.
He couldn't stop thinking that she's been busy for almost a week by now. Simula nang dumating ito galing sa Fashion Week sa France ay bibihira na lamamg itong may oras para sa kanilang dalawa.
He was thinking that she's spending too much of her time on her work even at vacation. She couldn't even attend their dates because she is too busy and continues to refuse whenever he invited her out.
He could still remember when he invited Sanjah on a date but Darcy was the one who came and be at her position. It's just saddening how his wife used someone else para may dumalo sa date nila. But Alferus did not regret that someone else attended their date that was supposed to be for him an Sanjah.
Alferus did not regret giving Darcy the necklace, because she's been playing her part very well. Masarap s'ya kausap and he had the chance to get to know the woman very well.
Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ang lalaki na s'yang naging dahilan upang mag-angat ng tingin sa kanya si Sanjah.
"Are you okay?" Tanong ng babae sa lalaki.
Bahagyang humikab si Alferus upang ipakita rito na inaantok na s'ya. Pilit n'yang inalis ang pangalan ni Darcy sa kanyang isipan sa pamamagitan ng pakikipagusap sa kanyang asawa.
"Are not feeling sleepy?" Tanong n'ya sa babae.
"Medyo, but I think I'll get a coffee later," tugon nito na ikinaseryoso ng mukha ng lalaki.
"You've been really busy all the time. Didn't we went here for vacation?" Seryosong tanong ng lalaki sa kanya.
"I'm so sorry, Alfie. Malapit na akong matapos, don't worry. Ito na lang." Bahagyang ngumiti si Sanjah sa lalaki kaya tumayo na lamang ang lalaki at agad na lumundag sa higaan.
Tinitigan lamang ito ni Sanjah nang lumundag ito sa kanyang giliran. Bumuntong-hininga si Sanjah at itinabi n'ya ang kanyang laptop at tumabi s'ya ng higa sa lalaki. She hugged him from the back.
"I'm so sorry..." Mahina n'yang bulong sa lalaki.
Hindi nagsalita ang lalaki nang sabihin iyon ni Sanjah. Wala na lang rin iba pang sinabi si Sanjah at tahimik lamang s'ya roon.
Kinaumagahan ay lumabas si Alferus mula sa kanyang silid. It was a breath of fresh air the moment he stepped a foot outside his room. Saglit muna s'yang nag-unat-unat habang naglalakad patungo sa lounge ng resort.
Sumalubong sa kanya ang manager ng resort na may dalagang kape sa kamay nito habang nakangiting naglalakad papalapit sa kanya
"Good morning, sir, here's your coffee," usal ng manager sa kanya at tinanggap n'ya naman iyon.
Iyon ang nakasanayang bungad ni Alferus mula sa manager ng hotel. Binibigyan s'ya nito ng kape kahit hindi n'ya naman hinihingi.
"Gising na po pala si Ms. Darcy, sir. She's having a breakfast," usal ng manager.
Napalingon rito si Alferus, tinitigan n'ya lamang ang manager ng ilang segundo at kalauna'y umiwas ito ng tingin rito.
Bumuntong-hininga s'ya at iniwan 'yung manager roon. Sumisimsim ito sa kanyang kape habang naglalakad patungo sa gawi kung saan naroon si Darcy.
He can see Darcy from afar drinking a cup of coffee or tea. She was wearing a sleeveless and a short. Mukhang nakalaigo na ito dahil basa ang kanyang buhok at malinis itong tignan.
