Rielle's POV:
Ang bango.. I'm smelling food and it makes me hungry. Pinilit kong buksan ang mga mata ko kahit sobrang nakakasilaw ang liwanag mula sa bintana. Bumangon ako para lumabas patungong kusina. And there, my wife is cooking. Nakaligo na ito habang nagluluto.
"You're up early hon, meeting?" ngumiti naman ito sakin at tumango. I hugged her from behind and kissed her right ear. I felt her body tremble. She's currently cooking fried rice, "Is there anything wrong? You seemed bothered?"
Pinatay na niya ang kalan tsaka siya humarap sakin. She hugged her hands through my neck and just smiled at me. "Everything is fine."
"I'm not convinced." tinitigan ko siya with judgement. "Talk to me, para may ambag naman ako sa buhay mo not just my pretty face." I smirked at her just to have good vibes.
"Cute.." sambit niya at pagkatapos nun she pinched my nose.
"Ouch" I touched it slightly, ansakit ng kurot niya. "Ansakit babe.."
"Oh I'm sorry, you're so kulit kasi." sinimulan nya na maglagay ng mga plato sa mesa. Habang ako naman I prepared our coffee together nang makita kong ok na ito sa coffee maker ay nagsalin ako agad sa tasa.
"Because I know you're in trouble." kibit balikat ko sa kanya pagkatapos kong ilapag ang kape namin sa mesa.
"What do you know?" She looks so surprised.
"Everything." saad ko saka naman siya kinindatan. "So, tell me what's wrong. Para di na tayo maghulaan ng problema. Time is ticking baby."
She sighed a deep breath, "Ok fine. My Insurance company was hacked and all of my client's information got stolen. And Greg is behind it. He wants me back and he's blackmailing me."
Nakikinig naman ako sa kanya habang kumakain. I'm not really that affected since it's been resolved. Kaya naman ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagkain, "Then?" I'm seeing her frustration when I looked at her at napamaang siya sa kilos ko.
"Then?" Ulit pa niya na may bahid ng pagkainis. I was like I don't care that much to trigger her annoyance. "My company will be in chaos! My reputation will be tainted and Greg can ruin all of my clients. And A-and if I'm going back to him, how about our marriage??"
"Don't worry and don't stress yourself that much." I said. I'm really pushing her to her edge and I know she's angry. Wagi! Di ko alam kung anong pumasok sa utak ko para galitin siya. All this time, she's always sweet and kind. Never ko pa siyang nakitang nagalit except sa elevator incident but that was not the case dahil masyadong cute yung galit niya non.
"Are you even listening to me Rielle?!" nanggigigil niyang tanong sakin. Her hands are touching the side of the table in front of her.
"Yeah, of course. I'm all ears." at ngumiti ako sa kanya ng alanganin. I know sasabog siya lalo sa inis. But what I have seen ay bigla na lamang tumulo yung mga luha niya. Halah.
"Why are you like this?", mahina yung boses niya pero rinig ko ang mga sinabi niya. Naguilty naman ako sa ginawa ko without expecting na bigla na lamang siyang iiyak. I was expecting na magwawala ito dahil sa gigil niya pero iba ang nangyari. "Do you really think it was a joke?" She's still talking while she's crying. God, she's helpless. I want to hug her so tight and tell her that everything is fine now, she's safe and no one could ever force her to go back to her ex.
"You don't know what it means to me. I put in all my hard work to make that company grow. I toiled day and night to earn my clients' trust. Then, in an instant, it could all vanish because of someone who insists on keeping me in their life, even though I don't want to be a part of it."
Tumayo ako para yakapin siya.
"Rielle, tell me. How can I survive this? We are married, he's blackmailing me and wants me to divorce you. Not only my reputation ang nakataya dito kundi pati narin ang kumpanya. Even my clients' information is on the line. What would I do?" humagulgol na ito ng iyak.
"Did he call you?" I asked habang yakap yakap ko siya at nakayakap narin ito sakin habang nakaupo.
"Yes, he threatened me last night, saying he'd reveal what he knows. He intends to inform my clients about it. He also invited me to attend his Safety Awareness Month event next week and expects my response. If I don't comply with his wishes, he plans to expose the cybersecurity breach that occurred in the company while all of my VIP clients are his guests," nanlulumo niyang sabi.
"Let's go together then." I whispered to her ear nang pumantay ako sa kanya.
"But how, what would I do?"
"Do you want to be with him again?"
"Of course not."
"Then say no."
"But what about my company?"
"Do you trust me?" I asked her while looking into her eyes. Tsaka ko pinunasan ang mga luha niya. Gasshhh what a crybaby.
"What do you have in mind?" taka naman niyang tanong.
"What do I have in mind?" pinunasan ko pa ulit ang mga luha niya, nagbago ang aura niya and I was so glad that she's now hopeful. "I'm thinking of you." I smiled at her while tucking her hair to her ears.
"I'm serious," hinampas pa ng mahina ang braso ko. Parang bata.
"Yeah, seriously." I looked at her. "Because I'm so in love with you Elix." nagulat naman siya sa sinabi ko. Yung takot sa mga mata niya ay bigla na lamang naglaho at napalitan na lamang ito ng ibang klaseng kislap ng pagmamahal.
"And I won't let anyone steal you from me. Dadaan muna sila sakin bago mangyari yun. And your ex? He's just my piece of cake." hinalikan ko siya sa labi pagkasabi ko nun. "Kaya, don't cry baby. I've got you."
Napangiti ko na din ito sa wakas. "I love you too Rielle." she kissed me at may luha na namang pumatak sa mga mata niya. Ang iyakin naman niya masyado. "When did you even fall in love with me?"
"Kahapon lang-" hinampas na naman ako nito.
"Ouch! Masakit babe.." reklamo ko.
"Ayaw mo kasing magseryoso eh."
"Totoo naman yun ah. I love you now and tomorrow." hinampas na naman ako nito.
"Anong now and tomorrow?" kumunot naman ang noo nito pero natatawa din.
"Nae-expire yun. Dapat my recharge." inirapan naman ako nito.
"I hate you forever!" sabi niya.
"Di tayo sure jan." asar ko sa kanya ng may pag ngisi. Hinampas na naman ako nito,. Aba nakakarami na siya ah. Ansakit na ng braso ko. "Kumain na tayo ulit. Inaabuso mo na ang braso ko, ayan namumula na tuloy." I pouted. Kasi naman masakit na kaya.
Natawa naman ito at tinitigan ako. She silently say 'i love you' at saka ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain., grabe sobrang ganda ng asawa ko. Tapos ang sweet pa, mapanakit lang ng very very light. She's adorable. God, ang swerte ko sa asawa. Bigyan nyo nga ako ng negative traits nito aside from mapanakit siya?
"Pero ano munang ginawa mo?" maya maya ay tanong nito.
"Nothing." ang sama na ng tingin nito sakin parang mangangain ng tao. "It's a surprise." I winked at her.
"Eeehhh, ano nga kasi yun?" ibang klase nangungulit na ito ngayon. Hindi na siya tulad ng dati na isang sabi lang ok na.
"Secret yun. Basta punta tayo sa ex mong psycho next week." nginisian ko siya.
"Ayoko na pumunta." sabi pa nito.
"Sige wag na tayo pumunta. Sa bedroom na lang tayo." asar ko sa kanya.
"Ugh!!!!" inirapan na naman ulit ako. God, bakit bigla na lang siyang naging tiger? Kanina lang ang sweet sweet pa niya ah. Bakit nagbago na siya.
Natapos na akong kumain at nginitian ko siya. "I'll just take a shower. I'll do the dishes after ko maligo don't do anything by then." Naalala ko may meeting pala ako with executives later kaya naman nagmadali na akong naligo.
