Dark Secrets Series: His Drastic Devotion

Epilogue

Dinig sa buong store ang tinig ni Raven. His voice screamed authority and respect na kahit wala kang kasalanan ay mapapayuko ka. Nawala ang kaba ko ngunit ang mga brasong pinangharang ko dibdib ko ay nanginginig pa rin. Walang nagsasalita ngunit biglang bukas ang pintuan ng dressing room. Sa gulat ko ay yumuko ako at mariing pinangharang ang mga braso sa dibdib.

"Out," isang tinig na nagpaangat ng tingin ko sa pintuan.

"The fuck you're doing with my wife is against the law," galit na palatak ni Raven at agad na dinaluhan ako.

"S-Sir, it was a willing-"

"Does my wife look like she's willing?" sarkasmong saad ni Raven. I looked at him and saw how mad my husband is.

Hindi nakasagot agad ang pulis at lumabas na lamang. He closed and locked the door. He held both of my cheeks and gently made me look at him. Nang makita nito ang mukha ko ay nag-alab ang mga mata nito. His lips were in a thin line. He seemed like controlling his anger that cannot be controlled.

"Hush now, baby. I'm here," he said and kissed me on the forehead and gently wipe my tears using his both thumb.

Pinulot nito ang panloob kong nasa sahig at pinatalikod ako. Siya ang nagsuot nito sa'kin saka pinulot ang suot kong damit na nasa sahig rin. When I'm all dressed up he combed my hair using his fingers and kissed me on the lips.

"Let's go, baby."

Iginaya ako ni Raven papalas ng dressing room. His other hand was on my waist. Inilibot ko ang paningin ko nang hindi ko makita ang anak ko at ang mga pulis.

"Where's Ravn?" natatarantang saad ko sa kanya ngunit pinisil nito ang kamay ko upang kumalma.

"Our son is with Thellianne. They're waiting inside the car," sagot ni Raven.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil sa sinabi nito. Ang akala ko na lalabas na kami ay nagkamali ako. He stopped at the front of the lady who judged me.

"You have no right to do that to my wife!" Raven said as he gritted his teeth, still controlling his anger. Nawalan ng kulay ang mukha nito at kitang-kita ko ang takot sa mukha nito.

"Raven, come on. Let's go home."

Nilingon ako nito at ang galit nitong titig at salubong na kilay ay unti-unting kumalma.  He sighed and nodded.

"This isn't the end," saad ni Raven at marahan akong hinila at sabay kaming naglakad papalabas.

"Are you okay, my love? Sagutin mo ako ng totoo," seryosong saad nito.

Sasagot na sana ako nang tumunog ang cellphone ni Raven. Hindi muna ako nagsalita ngunit wala itong ginawa kun'di ay tinitigan ako. He seemed patiently waiting for my response.

"I'm alright. Answer your phone first now, Raven."

"No. Let's talk more."

"Please?" he pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily. Napangiti ako nang kinuha nito ang cellphone sa bulsa at sinagot.

"Yes?" sagot nito. He's now very attentively to the speaker.

"Alright. You should be very careful Onyx. You're with my son and my wife's friend," salubong ang kilay na ani nito at binaba ang tawag.

"Nauna na si Thelly at Onyx kasama ang anak natin?" tanong ko.

He suppressed a light smile and kissed me on the lips.

"Yeah."

"Kasama niyo pala si Onyx kanina?" tanong ko habang pinagbubuksan ako ni Raven ng pintuan.

"Hindi. Onyx is starting to act like a dog now, wife." Raven said and chuckled.
