"BEDWARMER?!" pag-uulit na tanong ni Diana sa sarili habang dinidiligan ang mga halaman sa greenhouse bago yamot na nagpakawala nang hininga. "Me? A bedwarmer? The hell?! I am married!"

Sa sobrang lakas ng boses ni Diana ay umalingawngaw iyon sa greenhouse at doon pa siya natauhan at napatigil.

When she realized that she was letting her anger out to the poor flowers, she apologized to them, especially to the beautiful red rose in front of her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you..." saad niya sabay dahan-dahan na diniligan ang rosas. "I was mad because I got mistaken as a bedwarmer, can you imagine that? And do you know who did that? Cormac Castellano's fuck buddy who thought that I am like her. Oh, that guy, never even corrected her! Well, basically, Cormac is my husband's arrogant and entitled boss, the owner of this greenhouse you are situated right now and your—"

When she sounded like she was gaslighting the flower still, she immediately took back what she said.

"No no no no. I didn't mean it that way..." dugtong ni Diana at napabuntong hininga nang mapagtanto ang kanyang ginagawa. Ganoon na ba talaga siya kabagot para kausapin ang mga bulaklak at halaman?

Probably yes. However, no matter how much she denied it, she knew she wasn't just bored because of her job, she was furious at the thought that Cormac's fuck buddy thought that she was a bedwarmer.

At sa tuwing maalala niya iyon ay nagngitngit siya sa galit. She couldn't accept the fact that she was mistaken as a bedwarmer, let alone Cormac's bedwarmer.

"Argh!" palahaw ni Diana sabay ikinuyom ang mga kamay sa kanyang gilid.

Kung nakakayaman lamang ang pagiging galit sa isang tao, malamang milyon-milyon na ang kanyang pera ngayon. Pero hindi, hindi ganoon ang kinalalakaran nilang mundo. And it seemed like she was the only one fuming mad about it and Cormac felt nothing.

She bet he didn't even care because he never ask for an apology. Sa tatlong araw nitong nagtrabaho sa bahay, sa isang linggo na simulang inaatupag niya ang greenhouse, wala itong ginawa kundi iwasan siya.

Kung tutuusin, wala itong dahilan para iwasan siya.Why would he even ignore her in the first place? Pretending she doesn't exist was the right term. In his three days working in the vineyard, he always passed by the greenhouse and not once did he ever spare her a glance.

Isang linggo na ang nakalipas simula nang engkwentro nila sa tapat ng kwarto nito sapagkat hindi niya makalimutan ang kanilang mga binitiwan na salita.

And she realized all she wanted from the CEO was an apology. Apology for what that woman thought lowly of her and for what happened to her husband. Tiniyak nito ang mga kakailanganin ng asawa sa pagpapagaling nito sapagkat hindi ito kailanman nanghingi ng tawad.

Well, what does she expect from someone like Cormac anyway?

Pagkatapos diligan ang mga bulaklak at halaman ay iginala ni Diana ang mga mata sa loob ng greenhouse. Doon niya pa napagtantong mas malaki pa iyon sa bahay nila.

Sa loob ay may puting rectangular table na makikita sa bandang kaliwa kung saan nakapatong ang mga mini plotted plans at saka may limang silya para maupuan. Sa dulo naman ang may faucet na pagkukuhanan ng tubig para sa pagdidilig. Sa isang gilid ay may mataas na cucumber bush habang sa kabila naman ay nakatanim mga nagagandahan at mapupulang rosas. Mayroon ring rack display na makikita mula sa entrada kung saan nakalagay ang mga libro patungkol sa mga halaman at bulaklak at may nakakamanghang fountain sa gitna.
