When a Gangster Becomes a Real One

Chapter 17

Nauna akong umuwi dahil nahilo na naman ako. Vincent even told me na intayin ko sya para sa bahay na lang kami pero nasa gitna sya ng isang napaka halagang business meeting kaya pinilit ko sya na si Jake at Ethan na lang ang maghatid sakin pauwi.

Nakatulog na rin ako dahil sa pagod at nagising na lang ako ng marinig ko ang kalampagan ng mga kubyertos sa tabi ko.

"Its dinner time, Belle. Time to eat." He smiled at me as if he know na alam ko na ang plano nila ng tatay ko. He helped and watched me while I'm eating. Nakakain na daw sya sa baba while he was waiting for my food to be cooked. Binaba nya lang ang pinagkainan ko and now he is facing me on our bed.

"Bat di mo sinabi sakin?" I asked. He twisted his finger as if he was nervous.

"Kasi alam ko na yun ang makakabuti sayo." Medyo nag - init ang ulo ko dahil sa sinabi nya kaya nataasan ko sya ng kilay.

"Seriously Vincent? Makakabuti sakin?" I tried to keep my statement short para hayaan syang mag explain.

"Yes. Tanda mo pa ba dati? When I left our school with the Dark 5, you lived peacefully. Walang nagtangka sayo. Walang nanakit sayo. That's why me and your father are thinking that this option would be the best for you." He said that as if he was guilty and mad and worried at the same time.

"Ano ba tayo?" Napakunot ang noo nya sa tanong ko and he looked at me as if he were asking if he should really answer that. When he didn't see any reaction from my face, he answered,

"Mag - asawa." I held his face with my hand and talked to him gently.

"Diba pag mag - asawa sabay nagde - desisyon? Diba dapat pareho munang pakinggan yung bawat side?"

"I know Belle its just that -" I covered his lips with my finger to silent him.

"Vincent iba nung high school  tayo, iba na ngayong mag - asawa tayo. Dati pwede mo pa kong iwan basta basta pero ngayon? You can't. Kasi nga mag - asawa na tayo. No matter how hard the situation is, we should be together. For better or for worse nga diba?" He smiled at me then guided me to lay down on his chest so he can hug me tightly.

"I'm sorry wife. I'd rather leave to keep you safe than to be here beside you but have all the dangers that could harm you. But you're right. Its different now. We are married and we should face everything together." I smiled then gently kissed his lips.

I will fight for my happiness. I will fight for our happiness. Di na ko papayag na basta basta mawawala ang mga bagay na hinintay ko sa loob ng mahabang panahon.
