With You

Chapter 20: Another Man

Chapter 20: Another Man

Months and another year had passed. I still stayed with Harrison somehow, and despite of my doubts. Because I also wanted to make sure that Ate Rosie and Tita Rachel would be fine. As long as I stay by Harrison's side, at masiguro ko na wala na nga siyang balak pa na pabagsakin ang pamilya ko...

I know that I'm being a little too doubtful of him, kahit pa nga sinabi na niya sa akin na hindi na nga niya itutuloy iyong plano niya...

Pero hindi pa rin ako mapanatag dahil naglihim siya sa akin... At na pakiramdam ko ay parang biglang naalala ko lang pala na hindi ko pa rin siya ganoon kakilala...

I think it was the shock of knowing about the truth, that it grew my doubts and made me scared...

For my training, I trained in Harrison's company like what we already decided long ago. Nagsimula akong magtrabaho sa kompanya niya at may in-assign lang din siya na mag-guide sa akin sa gagawin habang nasa training ako. And I also asked him if it would better, kung wala munang makakakilala sa akin bilang asawa niya.

Our wedding back then was public and was also published in a magazine. Pero bukod doon ay hindi naman na kami ganoong naging public sa buhay mag-asawa namin. And I've been not coming to his office anymore since we had that fight in his office study at home...

Simula rin kasi noon ay halos hindi na kami mag-usap muli ni Harrison. Although we still talk to each other but it just felt more civil. And he was busy with his work like usual. At inabala ko rin ang sarili ko sa pag-aaral ko lalo na graduating din ako.

And Anya haven't been home since the last time that she was here...

She's still in London and studying. Although we still talk to each other through messages and video calls.

"All right... There are new employees in the company... I'll ask Diego to assign you to their department..." he said when I asked him about it.

I just told him that I didn't want his employees to know that I am his wife. I just don't want special treatment... And he agreed.

Tumango lang naman ako sa kaniya pagkatapos ay tumalikod na. Pumunta na ako sa kama namin at humiga ako sa space ko sa kama. Pagkatapos ay naramdaman ko naman siya na sumunod din siyang humiga roon sa side din niya sa kama namin. Nagtatabi naman kaming muli sa kama pagkatapos noon. Pero hanggang sa pagtulog na lang...

Although I also admit, that there were just a few times in the past year that we've done it sometimes... After all, ay mag-asawa pa rin naman kami ni Harrison...

Pero minsan na lang, at hindi na kagaya ng dati...

"Team, this is Miss Vienna De La Cerna," pinakilala ako ng head sa mga makakasama ko sa trabaho.

Ginamit ko lang muli ang apelyido ko noong dalaga pa ako. Dahil masyado naman yatang obvious kung dadalhin ko ang Abella rito.

I smiled at them. And then I also introduced myself. At nakipagkamay din ako sa mga empleyado.

"Richard De Guzman." ngumiti sa akin ang nagpakilalang isa ring makakatrabo ko rito.

Ngumiti rin naman ako sa kaniya.

Malaki ang kompara kaya naman hindi ko rin nakikitang talaga si Harrison sa company niya. But sometimes when he's there, ay umiiwas na lang din ako...

"Dito ka rin ba magtatrabaho pagkatapos mong maka-graduate?" nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Richard.

Bumaling ako sa kaniya. "Hindi ko pa sigurado, eh... But maybe." I smiled at him.

Thankful ako sa mga nakakasama ko ngayon habang in training pa lang ako. And I'd be happy if I'd really start working for real with them, too. Kasi magaan silang katrabaho. And Richard always help me. Whenever I'm having trouble he's there to assist me.
