After my conversation with Nicko, umuwi ako sa bahay namin. I wanted to get all my stuff since there was no point in living here. Uuwi na ako sa bahay namin nina Nanay. I was thankful na may family akong pwedeng puntahan in times like this.
I packed all my belongings that I thought I needed. Ang mga importante lang ang nilagay ko sa maleta. Just few of my clothes, shoes, personal hygiene, and my credentials. Nicko could discard the things I left here however he wanted. He could throw them in the trash for all I care.
Sinalubong ako ni Kuya Cris nung nakita niya akong pababa sa hagdan. He grabbed the bags from me.
"Sigurado na po ba kayo rito, ma'am?" malungkot na tanong niya.
I knew he was not happy with what's going on. I didn't have to tell him for him to know what happened in Nicko's office. I believed he knew or had an idea of what transpired in the conversation I had with Nicko.
I nodded my head as an answer. His reaction just intensified. He was so sad. Naiiyak ako pero pinigilan ko. I scanned my eyes around the living room. It still looked the same since the first time I moved in here and it was heartbreaking to see that nothing had changed up to this last day of being in here.
I should've known that it could lead to this dahil sa umpisa pa lang ng pagdating ko sa bahay na 'to, it already looked empty, with only few furnitures around the house na para bang hindi kami tatagal sa bahay na 'to, and I was right about it. Nicko had told me before why he left it like this at 'yon ay dahil gusto niyang ako ang maglagay ng furnitures na gusto ko, and I believed him when he said it but not until it came to this point. My hunch was right after all.
"Alis na tayo, kuya," I told him, while giving him a smile. I wanted to encourage him that I would be fine.
Even though it was against his will, he helped me carry my stuff to my car. I used my own car to come here, and I would use it go back home.
Nicko's bodyguards looked like they were torn between going after me or not. I already told them when we arrived here na hindi na nila ako dapat samahan or sundan. Their job of keeping me safe was over. I knew Nicko and I were still a hot topic in the media right now, and paparazzis were everywhere to get a scoop. I might still need protection from them, but they were Nicko's hired bodyguards from an elite company. I couldn't afford paying them. And besides, I would no longer be his wife soon, so there was no use in using his money or resources. It would not feel or sound good if I would still be using the perks after we decided to part ways.
Nalagay na nila sa trunk ng kotse ang mga gamit ko. I looked at all of them and said, "I'm sorry dahil sinungitan ko kayo kanina and thank you for everything." Kahit madalas na naiinis ako sa kanila, I would never forget that they had protected me countless times. I was beyond grateful for it.
