Married To An Arrogant Italian

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX {The Secret Love}

John Cory Delos Reyes' POV

I was at the mall alone while finishing my work of one of the coffee shop here...Nung biglang may pumasok na babae at nakapamewang na tumayo sa harapan ko habang galit na galit.

"John Cory Delos Reyes!!answer me!are you trying to avoid me!"mataray niyang sabi sabay inilagay niya ang bag niya sa lamesa na padabog kaya napalingon ang mga tao sa aming dereksyon.

"Odine!calm down okay."pabulong kong sabi at pagkatapos,i stood up from my chair at naglakad papunta dakaniya para paupuin"mas mabuti kung umupo ka na lang muna so that we can talk properly"i offered her the vacant seat at inalalayan paupo,pagkatapos ay bumalik na rin ako sa upuan ko.

"So now?!explain it to me if why are you trying to avoid me?!"ealang emosyon niyang sabi while her arm are crossed over her chest.

"Not like i want to avoid you"nahihiya kong sabi sakaniya sabay tinurn-off ko ang loptop ko sa harap ko sabay sabi"ayaw mong mag-order muna?before we proceed to our conversation?"tanong ko sakaniya nung napatay ko na yung switch nung loptop.

"Waiter?!"she said it emotionlessly at agad namang lumapit yung waiter at pagkatapos ay nag-order na siya."So now?can we proceed to our convo?"nakataas kilay niya.

Huminga muna ako nang malalim at inayos ang sarili ko bago ko siya hinarap.

"Actually,Odine,i dont really want to avoid with you,i dont even want to be away from you,but i have no choice"sabay sumipsip nang konte.

"What do you mean you have no choice?!Cory please enlighten me!!"pasigaw niyang sabi.

"Odine,it's a long story"

"I have all ears to listen whatever reason you have,so kindly just straight to the point and stop making me confused!!"naiirita niyang sabi.

"Hey!just chill out okay,dont be so grumpy okay!"sabi ko.

"Go"sabi niya habang hindi lang niya pinansin ang sinasabi ko at timing naman ding dumating na yung inoorder niya.

"Okay,so...I was at the my house watching T.V. and eating popcorn when suddenly someone knocks on my door angrily,FIRST i was curious if who might be that person who doesnt have patients,i thought it was you but when i opened the door a straight punch landed on my face the reason why i fell in the ground."I said it to her conversationally.

"Please,just straight to the point,what is the real reason why you are avoiding me?have i done something wrong?maybe?because of what i did to you on the airport,,but that is not a the valid reason why you should need to avoid me likr this!you know?it feels like hell not seeing my bestfriend around while i know that he is actually living here in the philippines!"galit niyang sabi sakin.

"No!Odine,that is not the reason why im avoiding you!well if you done something wrong to me,i will forgive you whatever it is,i will not avoid you because of that small thing happened back in airport,i dont give a damn about it even though your husband punch me on the face i dont care!!how much i like to spent all of the time with you!Odine!i dont want to avoid  you cause i love you!"sabi ko sakaniya sabay hinawakan ko ang kamay niya pero binawi niya ito at sanay tumayo siya sa kinauupuan niya.

"Then why!why are you avoiding me?!i dont really get your point!i dont know what you mean?i dont know what you are talking about because your just making it long,why can't you just go straight to point and tell me the f*cking reason!"sumisigaw na siya dito sa loob nang restaurant"You dont know what i feels to be stupid!"

"Odine!that's why i'm avoiding you because your husband is threatning that if i go near to you he will make me kick out of my job and kill me!he said he can do all of those things because of all the connections he has and as the grandson hear of the Duchess of Italy!Odine!i dont want to loose my job!i am the only last hope of my family!that's why even i badly hate to avoid you i have no choice"sabi ko sakaniya at hindi ko na rin  nakaya ang luha na kanina ko pang pinipigilan ang tumulo na ang luha ko kaya napayuko na lang ako sabay agad kong pinunasan ang luha ko.

"Im sorry,Cory"sabay lumapit siya sakin at niyakap ako.

"No,im fine"sabi ko sakaniya sabay umatras ako.

"No"sabi niya sakin.

Hindi ko na yata kayang tiisin na makita ko pa siyang kasal na sa iba at masaya na habang ako ay naunahan na,sa tagal nang panahon na hinintay ko na bumalik rito sa pilipinas para ipakita sakaniya na umangat na ako sa buhay pero lahat nang yun ay nawala lang din na parang bula dahil meron nang nakauna sakin na makakuha sa kaniyang Puso.

"Im sorry,i need to go,i need to finish my work and i think i cant finish this on time if you are here,so if you excuse me"sabay inayos ko na ang loptop at binalik sa lalagyanan nito at pagkatapos ay lumabas na nang restaurant.

"Cory!wait!"sigaw niya sakin pero hindi ko lang siya pinansin at nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad,narinig kong sumusunod parin siya sakin kaya nagmamadali akong pasok sa elevator"Cory!please!im sorry!!"masasaktan lang ako lalo kapag makikita ko pa siyang kasama niya ang taong pinakasalan niya kaya mas mabuti kung tapusin ko na tong problemang toh,papasara na ang pinto nang elevator nung nakita ko na siyang papalapit ay pinigilan niya ang pagsira ng pinto kaya agad ko nang sinabi sakaniya"Go away Odine!i dont want to see you edr again!leave me alone!i hate you"sabi ko sakaniya,even thought that i dont want to hurt her but i habe no choice,ayoko nang umasa dahil kung ikukumpara ako sa Italian guy na yun ay walang-wala ako sakaniya kaya it's better to let go than to hold on to something that its already owned by someone else.

Bumitaw na siya sa pintuan nang elevator sabay umatras ang patuloy na tumutulo ang luha niya nung nagsara na ang pinto ay ang tanging nasabi ko na lang ay"Sorry."
