I'm The Substitute Wife [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 44

IMARI wanted to kick her friend Valeria back to Paris because of what she did that almost made her pass out. The bitch laughed at what she did to her while she trembled in fear. Valeria is the owner of the number that called her, which she said she bought it from NAIA. She was surprised when Valeria introduced herself while laughing and said that she was at the hotel in BGC. Buong akala niya ay gabi pa ito dadating dahil iyon ang sinabi nito sa kanya at balak pa nga sana nilang sunduin ito ni Rouge.

Valeria thought of tricking her because when she turned on the T.V, that scene immediately greeted her so she thought that she would do the same to her and put her cellphone on the speaker to welcome her. Nanggigigil na sinigawan niya ito sa inis niya nang sandaling iyon at pinatayan ng tawag. Tumawag ulit 'to, pero hindi na niya sinagot maging ang mga mensahe nito.

Kinabukasan niyon, doon pa nila pinuntahan ni Rouge sa hotel nito. Rouge invites her friend to stay at his house but Valeria refuses because she doesn't want to be a nuisance. Nasapak nga niya dahil sa pinagsasabi nito. Kahit kailan hindi magiging istorbo 'to sa kanila. She treats her like her family. Valeria knows that but knowing her, she always wants to be independent. That's why she learned that from her. They didn't force her and respected her decision.

Saturday came and she woke up early. She was thankful that Rouge didn't wake up when she removed his hand from her and carefully got up. Imari hurried down the stairs because when Rouge found out she wasn't by his side, he would immediately go down to look for her. And that's what she avoids to happen at this moment.

"Good morning, everyone! Are we ready?" she said enthusiastically as soon as she entered the kitchen. Kagabi pa lang ay sinabihan na niya ang mga kasambahay sa kung ano ang dapat gawin ng mga 'to.

"Good morning din, ma'am! Yes, ma'am," magkapanabay na sagot ng mga 'to.

Manang Dolores handed her the cake they had baked yesterday. Maliban sa party na maayos nilang na plano ng ina ni Rouge, plano din 'yang batiin 'to ng maaga kasama ang mga kasambahay nito. Maingat at iniiwasan ng lahat gumawa ng ingay habang umaakyat sila sa hagdan papunta sa silid nila ni Rouge. Nakaagapay kay Imari si Manang Dolores habang naglalakad sila at hawak niya ang red velvet cake. Ang sabi sa kanya ni Manang kahapon ay ito raw ang hilig kainin na flavor ni Rouge noong bata pa 'to, kaya iyon ang ginawa nila.

Imari was nervous and excited about what they were doing now. This is the first time she will do it for the man she loves so she is nervous about his reaction. They both took a deep breath when Manang Dolores carefully opened the door to their room. Another maid is holding the party popper and one maid has also lit the candle cake. Tanging liwanag mula sa ilaw sa labas lamang ang nagbibigay liwanag sa loob ng kanilang silid. She silently hushes her companions when they entered. Imari saw that Rouge was still sleeping soundly in their bed. Nakadapa habang kita ng lahat ang nakahantad na matipunong likod nito dahil sa walang pang-itaas na suot. Ganito lagi ito 'pag natutulog. She doesn't want to see anyone else of the body of the man she loves, but right now she has no choice.

"Kahit sa pagtulog at likod lang, ang hot pa rin ni sir," impit na bulong ng isang kasambahay sa likuran ni Imari.

"Oo nga. Ang suwerte talaga ni ma'am kay sir."

"Pareho lang naman sila. Mabait si ma'am, mayaman, sexy, at napakaganda pa."

Napapailing na lamang si Imari at hinayaan ang mga 'to magbulungan habang sinenyasan niya si Bebet na buksan na ang ilaw. Kasabay ng pagbukas ng ilaw ay ang pagkanta ng mga kasambahay ng happy birthday song. Nakita niya ang pagbalikwas ng bangon ni Rouge na ikinatawa niya.

"What the--" naputol ang sinabi nito nang makita siya't agad kumunot ang noo.

Patuloy sa pagkanta ang mga kasama ni Imari na sinasabayan na rin niya. Bumaba sa kanilang kama si Rouge, na sinundan ng lahat ng tingin habang kinuha nito ang damit at sinuot.
