Trapped In His Melanchony

Dark thoughts

The breeze went colder and the sky turned darker, covered with gray clouds. After that drastic risky scene in the cab, Levi decided to head back to their hotel dahil mag aalas sais na. That's where they end up being in the grocery store a across their hotel.

"Akala ko ba magbabike tayo?" Addi asked him habang nakahawak sa braso niya habang siya ang nagtutulak sa cart.

"Plan changed. You have to spare some enegry since you will be cooking tonight."

"Okay." they stopped in the fresh picked area, checking some vegetables and fruits. "Buti na lang pwede magluto doon sa hotel."

"Uuwi na tayo bukas." walang emosyon nitong sabi.

Uuwi na sila. Ibig sabihin, matatapos na ang masasaya nilang oras magkasama. Two days weren't just enough for him.

"Oo nga. Parang kakarating lang natin ano tapos bukas uuwi na tayo hehe" she giggled. Masaya rin naman siya at uuwi na sila. Namimiss na niya ang anak niyang si Elvi.

"Will it be like this the next time we'll travel together?"

"Huh?" naguguluhang tanong nito habang may hawak na dalawang bell pepper. "Pumalpak nga ako ngayon eh, di man lang kita natulungan kanina sa meetings mo."

"Because I intentionally finished it."

"Oh" she's choked, blushed. So sinadya pala talaga nitong hindi siya gisingin sa mahimbing niyang tulog. "What exactly happened last night, Levi?" she would like to confront him if she heard were real. It was his voice, his words.

Umiwas ito ng tingin at kunwari kumikilatis ng mga gulay. "You're drunk, that's it." he has no reason to admit it. After all, nothing change if he'll admit. She will not going to leave her married life behind for him. They're both just each other's past time amusement. "Let's plan ahead our trip so that we can use our time wisely."

"O-Alright."

"Will you lie to him as if we are going on a business trip?"

Namilog ang mga mata ni Addison. He sound just so calm but he's not looking at her.

"Why should I lie? Isn't it trips like these are for business purposes only?"

He stepped closer to her, grabbed her shoulders to hug her. Na statwa siyang niyakap ni Levi, di halos maikurap ang mga mata.

"I'll work double to lessen my tasks, then I will request a few days leave. You will book the flight and we will go wherever you want." malalim itong huminga bago pa man nito ibitaw ang sunod na sasabihin. "Just lie to him. That's the job I will assign to you." or bring your son with us and travel a little bit longer together. Isn't that nice?

He's afraid she will decline for the silence took over them. Please lie. He chant in his mind.

He will make sure she will enjoy it more. He will let her decide where to go, anything again even what to eat kahit pa ayaw niya sa mga lasa ng pagkaing pipiliin niya. Buy her flowers, sex her, cuddle her.

Kahit napakalaki ng galit sa puso niya, gusto niyang makita itong masaya so that in the end, she will beg for him not to plant pain in her. And regret she chose Warren.

"As you wish."

He hugged her tighter, kissing the side of her head. Being so submissive to him is his pure joy.

7 O'clock when the rain pours and now they're stranded in the grocery store's exit. Napakalakas nga ng ulan at tila ayaw pa silang pabalikin sa hotel room nila kaya panay simangot si Levi na nawawalan na ng pasensya kung kelan ito titila.
