Arrange Marriage

Chapter 55

Mikhael's POV

"I'm back" I said and took off my jacket and threw it on the sofa.

I sat down and opened the television.

"Ang bilis mo naman? Sabi mo aabutin ka nang 2-3 hours kasi may problema? Parang 30 minutes palang lumilipas" Jazz responded and sat beside me.

"Don't mind it, napaaga lang uwi ko, pinauwi ako nang maaga ng boss ko" I responded and leaned on the sofa and crossed my feet.

Fuck. I lied.

"Okay, I already cook na, gusto mo na kumain?" Jazz asked and hugged me.

"No, I'm not hungry, kakakain ko lang" I responded without looking at her.

"Oh, I thought you were going to eat with me" Jazz said at bumitaw sa pagkakayakap sa akin.

"Sorry, nagutom kaagad ako" I responded and gave her a short smile.

"Kain ka na, I'll be watching tv lang" I said. Jazz stood up and went to the dining room para kumain.

When she walked away, I took my phone in my pocket and opened my phone. I opened the gallery at tinignan ang picture namin kanina. Ayara took a photo of me with my son and daughter, Kian and Avy. I feel something that I can't explain. Ang gaan sa pakiramdam.

Flashback

I'm now driving all the way sa bahay nila Ayara. Kuya told me na birthday ng mga anak ko so I decided to go since anak ko sila. I bought gifts for them bago dumeretso sa bahay.

Nang makarating ako, I rang the doorbell but no one was answering. I waited for like 10 minutes na sana may magbukas ng pinto but no one opeend the door so I decided na pumasok na.

I closed the door behind me and looked at the hallway. I saw Ayara, standing not so far from me habang sinasara niya ang pintuan ng kwarto. Nang makita niya ako ay tinitigan niya ako nang ilang segundo bago lumapit sa akin.

As she got closer, my surroundings seemed to gradually stop. The world seems to stop spinning. That I feel like it's just the two of us, no one else. I stared at her, deeply.

She's wearing a burgundy silk dress and naka messy bun siya. She looks stunning. I can't express what I'm feeling but my heart seems to have stopped beating.

She looks like an Angel.

She looks like a Goddess.

Ang sarap niyang pagmasdan.

End of flashback

Nakatulala lang ako habang nakatitig sa picture, naslide ko bigla sa kabilang picture. Avy appeared on the photo, kung ano-ano pinagkukuha niyang litrato gamit cellphone ko.

How adorable.

I continued sliding the pictures when a photo caught my attention. It was a photo of Ayara, siya lang mag-isa sa picture while cutting the cake. Avy took this picture, for sure. I zoomed in the picture and focused it on her face.

How can someone be this gorgeous?

She looks perfect.

"Who's that?" Jazz suddenly appears while holding a bowl of fruits.

I hid my phone behind me and turned it off.

"Oh it's nothing, nadaanan lang sa feed, model" I responded. Tama naman ako, Ayara is a model but retired.
