My Husband's Rival

MHR : 16

CHAPTER 16

EIRLYS

MARRIAGE LIFE wasn't easy. We were lacking too much. Mula sa pagkakakilala sa isa't isa hanggang sa mga tiwala at kung anu-ano pa. We were lacking that's why mahirap talaga.

But... I managed to survive. We survived our first two years as husband and wife.

Yes. That fast. Two freaking long years. Can you believe that?

Nag-improve naman ang pagsasama namin. I developed feelings for him kahit na hindi gano'n kalalim. I still developed feelings for him.

"He entered my fucking company?!" Draven threw some glass kaya nabasag ito.

Binitiwan ko agad ang sandok na hawak ko sa takot na baka kung ano pang ihagis niya. I closed the stove, too, to check on my husband. I was cooking kasi.

"How did he do that?!"

Mula sa malayo ay nakita ko na ang asawa kong palakad lakad at may kausap sa phone. He's fuming mad and wants to punch someone.

"Draven?" I called his name.

He raised his hand to hush me. Nanahimik naman ako para hindi siya mainis.

Lately ay laging mainit ang ulo niya. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung saan ako lulugar minsan.

I'm fourth year college now and malapit lapit na rin ang graduation ko kaya busy. But kahit na gano'n, napagsasabay ko parin naman ang mga bagay bagay.

Lalo na ngayon dahil bumukod kami ni Draven. Natapos na kasi ang bahay na pinapagawa niya kaya lumipat na kami. The house is kinda big which is I don't like.

I grew up in a very big mansion ngunit kahit na gano'n ay nagkikita kita kami at laging kumakain nang sabay sabay. Isa pa, we're a big family. Habang dito ay kaming dalawa lang plus mga kasambahay namin.

Gusto ko sana ay maliit na bahay lang dahil wala naman akong plano magkaro'n ng maraming anak.

"Do something! Who the hell sold their shares to that son of a bitch, huh?!" Draven said as he kicked the couch.

Napamasahe naman ako sa aking ulo bago kumuha ng walis para malinis ko ang bubog na ginawa niya.

He saw me cleaning his mess kaya bahagya niyang nilayo ang phone sakanya.

"What are you doing? Kay Linda mo 'yan ipalinis. You don't have to clean that." Kunot noo niyang sabi sakin.

Kumunot din ang noo ko. "Linda is doing our laundry. She can't clean this. Ate Minda is doing the garden, too. Alicia is cleaning the pool,"

Inirapan ko siya. He tried to stop me more pero tinapos ko na agad ang aking pagwawalis. He sighed bago nakipag-usap ulit.

I threw the broken glass bago ako bumalik sakanya. Wala na siyang kausap ngayon.

"Eirlys, I just want to remind you that our helpers should be the one who's cleaning our mess. In this house, we are the Lords. You are the Queen."

Oh, come on.

"My mother didn't raised me like that." Umiling ako sakanya. "If I can clean the mess, lilinisin ko. No need to order someone."

Umirap siya at mukhang nauubos ang pasensya sakin.

"Are you doing this to be useful?" He asked shamelessly.

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.

"What did you say?"

He licked his lips. Mas lalong uminit ang ulo ko dahil sa tagal niyang sumagot.

"I'm paying everything here. I'm paying our bills and our foods while you're not. You're just... cooking or nothing. Sometimes cleaning like what you did. Are you trying to be useful in this house?"
