My Husband's Rival

CHAPTER 15

EIRLYS

                I WAS STARING at the perfume he gave me the next day. Should I use this? Or... I sighed.

Maybe I should.

Malungkot akong ngumiti para sa sarili ko. Sa kabilang banda, I felt sorry for myself.

Obviously, this is not my type nor style. And of course, smell! But I am going to use this to please my husband. To please Draven.

Until when am I going to please him?

I slowly sprayed the perfume all over me. I coughed nang pumasok 'yon sa ilong ko. Fuck! The strong scent!

Inis kong nilapag ang pabango bago ako lumabas ng kwarto namin. I am going to school today, of course.

Automatic na tumaas ang kilay ko nang makita kong nagluluto si Draven. He's cooking? This is the first time I saw him cooking. What's the sudden change?

I was a meter away from him nang lumingon siya.

His eyes looked so hopeful when he looked at me ngunit nawala nang makita niya ako. Parang bumagsak ang balikat niya nang makita ako.

"Is there a problem?" I asked my husband.

Umiling ito. "Good morning," Nilapitan niya ako at hinalikan sa pisngi. "The food is almost ready."

Tumango ako sakanya.

Naupo ako sa dining area para hintayin ang pagkain na niluluto niya para sakin.

I noticed that his brother and father aren't here.

"Where are they?" I asked my husband again.

"Papa brought Kuya with him to attend his meeting," He answered.

Oh.

I didn't asked for more information. Okay, then. I shrugged.

Draven came and served the food he cook. Unti unting sumilip sa labi ko ang ngiti. This is his promise. He'll be better.

"Thank you," Ngiti ko sakanya.

He smiled a little, too. Sabay naming pinagsaluhan ang breakfast na ginawa niya.

At nang papasok na kami sa kanya kanya naming kailangang pasukan, I got shocked when he kissed me on my lips as his goodbye!

Hindi na tuloy nawala ang ngiti ko sa school.

"Eirlys..."

Bumaling ang tingin ko kay Hazel. She's wearing a shy smile while holding two cups of Starbucks frappe.

"I'm sorry about last time..." She offered me the Starbucks.

I sighed.

"Just be mindful the next time, Hazel." I said as I accepted the Starbucks.

"I will. I'm sorry again," Umupo siya sa tabi ko.

I forced myself to smile at binaling na sa sketch ko ang ginagawa. Inumpisahan niya rin ang kanya.

"New perfume?" She asked.

She noticed...

"Yup. Draven bought it for me," I shrugged.

"Oh..."

Gano'n pa sa mga sumunod na araw.

Lagi kong ginagamit ang perfume na 'yon at unti unti, nasanay na 'ko. My family got shocked when they realized that I changed my perfume, too, nang pumunta kami ni Draven sakanila.
