End is the beginning

you're not my husband part 2

AN . A continuation of last chapter, so yes technically it's still a throwback chapter.

Aga POV.

Is our marriage over?

I keep asking myself this question.

For the past week all we did was fight, the kids are starting to notice, but what would I tell them.

Your Mom cheat on me that's why we're fighting..

No, I won't let that happen, their just a kid . they don't deserve it.

But what about me.

"Aga, it's nothing I don't love him....I still love you.."

I keep hearing Charlene's voice , all her explanations, all her pleading.. Pero wala, how can I bealive a word she says.

So I told her to give me time.

Time to think.

I'm on my way to condo I was living in before.

That place is my sanctuary,and all the memories with it.

Kahit na sobrang dami Kong inisip these days.

Lea's words keep running in my head and in my soul.

What would happen if she were smarter before?

I can't understand her. But her lips I can understand. They always tell the truth.

You can't imagine the surprised I was in that moment, kaya na niya ginawa yun dahil naawa siya? Dahil lasiny siya?

She's a puzzle.

But what I know , is that the kiss was full of compassion and understanding..

After a few minutes I'm already in front of my door, how I missed it.

I was about to insert the key when the door knob turn.

Huh?

Bakit bukas to. Charlene can't be here..!

I told her to fucking give time!

I opened the door and started to pace the floor....

Where is she?

I went to kitchen, she's not here?

"Charlene! You can come out!"

I shouted..

I heard a sound from the shower room so I walk back towards the sound

"I told you to fucking leave me alone!!!"

I said .

"Ahhhhhhhh!!! "

A woman's voice.

I turn my head sideway.

What I saw make me stopped

"Pervert! Get out!"

It's Lea, and a very wet from the shower and half naked Lea....

"Now!"

She said, but I'm rooted to my spot. Somehow may naawang nerve sakin at gumana. I averted my eyes from her very exposed cleavage and look straight at her face.

"Ammmm Lea? What.. Are. Are you doing here"

I said pathetically.

She just glare at me and started walking hurriedly when she went straigh to the wall and stumble.

"Shit!".

She cursed, I'm about to help her when she held her hands No.

Okey suit yourself.

And quiet unfortunately her towel slip from her body exposing her naked back to me.

Instead of her smooth skin, I saw small cuts and bruises down her thighs, butt, and arms. And now that I notice There were also purple-ish Color around her eyes and her jaw.

"Get out"

She said sternly, scrambling to cover herself.

My respect for her kept me a gentleman and went to the kitchen where she can have privacy.

It's her fault na walang privacy as condo ko.

But what happened.... Those cuts it look new.

Who ? Who in their right mind hurt her.......

I know Lea she will lie all she can para itago ang totoo.

My curiosity is killing me but I waited.

Finally after an hour.. Yes an hour..pumunta siya sa kitchen where I sit alone with foods on the table.

She's now wearing a flannel shirt and jeans.

"Hey, sit down, I cooked your favorite"

Anyaya ko sa kanya...

She sat and help herself with a slice of lasagna.

I watch her take a bite and smile.

I know that she like it. She always does every time na ipagluluto ko siya before.

There's an awkward silence around us.

"Why are you shouting and cursing me to hell ?"

Lea ask breaking the silence.

"Sorry bout that, akala ko si"

"Si charlene"

Singit niya sakin.

I put down my spoon and pour some wine.

"Yeah, sorry"

I said taking a drink.

"You said that already"

She's looking at me. Like I'm the one keeping a secret.

"Look, alam Kong nagulat ka kung bakit ako nandito, but first let me tell you something"

I held my hands to stop her..

"Okey lang naman lei.."

" Remember , may ilang mga pagkakataon na nagbayad ako ng fee ng condo, and I also propose and partially help the renovation of this condo,so partially it is mine as it is yours"

What???..

"Lea, I'm not forbidding you to be here"

I said slowly, para mag sink in.

"I see"

Tipid niyang sagot.

What's going on, first yung mga sugat niya, second yung presence niya dito, third ... Yung Aura niya. Ibang iba.

"Lea.... What's going on?"

I asked.

She look at her now empty plate and smiles

"Let's talk later Aga, I need to rest I'll sleep first, kagagaling ko lang sa shooting. You can sleep on the sofa."

Mabilis niyang sinabi at agad agad umalis.

What's happening. Whatever it is, she's hurting.. And I don't like it, it hurts me to see her like this.

I need to find out. I need to find out who the hell did this to her.

She may not be mine but she's an important person in my life.

After I clean the dishes, I went to the sala/bedroom, and saw lea sleeping peacefully.

I grab a comforter from the cabinet and put it on her feet.

Tinakpan niya ng makeup ang mga pasa niya, but I already saw it... I know under the thick powder lies a bruised skin...

I took a shower and went to the shopping.

I think I'll be needing a lot.
