A Wife's Suffer

Chapter 10: It continues

Kate's POV

"Oh, so you're still alive? Tsk. How unfortunate."

   I froze when I heard a very familiar voice said that. I know it's him. Walang duda.

I am scared.

I am afraid.

   Takot akong baka may gawin na naman siya sa akin. Sana naman kasi pahinga muna. i am worried and frightened of what he might do now that will harm me.

But I am not just afraid of what he will do. 'Cause I know it better.

I know that deep inside me,

    I am not just scared. I am more pained than frightened. Nasasaktan akong isipin na..

        That one person who once promised to protect me is now exactly that someone I must be protected from.

Napayuko ako because of that thought. Yeah right. Things now are way different from what it was before.

Naramdaman ko na naglakad siya papalapit sa akin. And I saw a pair of shoes in front of mine. So, malamang sa malamang ay siya 'yun. Kami lang naman na dalawa ang andito sa bahay eh.

         "So, you are really that brave huh? You're really brave to come back." malamig na sabi niya and smirked as he held my arms tightly. Very tight.

Haaay.. Mamamasa na naman braso ko nito.

      "Look Kei.." I started.

  And I felt that his grip on my arms got even tighter.

       "DON'T. YOU. EVER. CALL. ME. THAT." sabi niya with an angry and cold voice.

Ganyan niya ba ka ayaw sa akin? That he wouldn't let me call him that?

"Why Ken? W..why? I..It's still me. A..ako pa rin na..naman ito eh. I..I am s..still your best friend." mahinang sabi ko.

              "Best friend, huh? Well, not anymore." he said and pushed me kaya napa upo ako sa sahig.

  'Ah' mahinang ungol ko dahil naunang tumama ang balakang ko sa sahig.

  Kung bakit ba kasi ang tanga ko? Best friend ako eh.

    I wasn't able to protect my position in his life. Kasi andun na eh. Ako na 'yung best friend. Pero kung bakit ba kasi hindi pa ako nakuntento at pinilit ko pang iangat 'yun. Best friend nga kasi! Hanggang dun nalang. Pero mapilit ako eh. Tanga pa. Tingnan mo, sa kakapilit, wala.. Bumaba pa.

Kung bakit naman kasi ako na minamahal lang siya, puro sakit at pagdurusa ang nakukuha. Bonus pa 'yung mga pasa at sugat ah.

Pero siya na walang ibang ginawa kundi ang lokohin siya.. Siya pa ang makakuha ng lahat. Lahat - lahat pati na ang pag - aaruga at pagmamahal niya.

     Kung bakit ba naman kasi sa best friend ko pa ako na inlove? Ang tanga - tanga ko din kasi eh. Grabe!
