Dilat ang aking mga mata nang harapin ko siya. I saw how pity he looked like but I don't care. I was so shocked and got to those lines he had just said, what does he mean by that?
"What do you mean Lucas?" agad kong sagot sa kanya. Ibinaling ko ang aking tingin sa aking asawa. Oh mas dapat ko bang tawagin siyang asawa ngayon? "What does he mean by that Miguel?"
Miguel can't face me really. He was still in this shock position or let me say he doesn't want to answer me. Naguguluhan ako, sa pinapakita ngayon ni Miguel sa akin bakit parang ang nasa loob ko ay nagkamali at nagsinungaling sa akin ang asawa ko?
Ngunit di kalaonan ay nakita kong bumukas ang pinto at sabay kaming lumingon, it's Brenna who seems so shock upon seeing Lucas' face in bleed. Mabilis itong tinungo ang nobyo at pinunasan nito ng kaunti ang mukha ni Lucas.
But Lucas moved back and that made her gasped.
"Lucas .." mahina niyang sabi sa nobyo. "What did the two of you do?" tapos ay tiningnan niya ang asawa ko at lumipat ito sa akin. "Gev, what happened?"
Hindi ko siya sinagot. Sa halip ay sinagot siya ng kanyang nobyo. "I was .. I was telling Geneva about the truth Brenna, I think this is the right time to tell her. "
The truth .. the truth .. Time .. right time.. to tell her... right time to tell her ..
Nanlaki ang mata nitong nakatingin sa nobyo at ganoon rin ako sa nobyo. Shit ! I am really confuse right now at kung nakakamatay ang pagkaconfuse, siguro ay last heart beat ko na lang.
"What .. what do you mean ?" garalgal kong tanong sa lahat.
Rumihestro sa mukha ko ang matang hindi halos matingin ni Miguel sa akin. Nilapitan ko ang aking asawa, hinawakan ko ang kanyang dalawang kamay at hinimas ko ito.
"Miguel, what is happening?" mahina at malambot na tanong ko sa kanya. Dahil nakakalito at nakakasakit sa damdamin.
Sa sinabi ni Lucas ay para akong nabunutan ng tinik. Paano nila nagawang pagsinungalingan ako at ang nakakasakit pa doon ay paano ako ginawang tanga ng aking sariling asawa sa ilang panahon na ang nakalipas?
"There's nothing for you to worry Gev, hindi ko rin alam ang sinasabi niya." hinawakan niya ang aking kamay bago niya ako sinagot.
"God, Miguel. Gagawin mo na lang bang tanga ang asawa mo ha, I never see you like that since .." mabilis na sagot naman ni Lucas sa kabila.
"Stop it Lucas." galit ni Brenna.
Galit na tinuro ni Miguel ang nobyo nito. "If you are not going to shut your mouth, wag mong hintayin na patayin kita .. dahil makakaya ko Lucas." -
Ngumisi lang ang lalaki at halatang iritado dahil sa sinabi ng kapatid.
"Outside, the two of you." galit na galit na sabi ni Miguel.
I saw Brenna grabbed Lucas' hand but then ay winaksi lang ito ng nobyo.
"Don't you feel pity on Geneva? Alam mo bang nasasaktan na siya sa ginagawa mo ha? She told me everything .. that you sometimes hurt her .."- pakawala nito.
Pinako nito ang kanyang mata sa akin at taimtim na kinakausap ang aking mga mata. Parang gusto nitong ipahiwatig ang mga salitang dapat ay paniwalaan ko siya dahil nagsasabi siya ng totoo.
Ngunit saglit akong nawala sa kanyang mga mata nang nagsalita ang asawa ko.
"I have the right to do so .. because she's my wife. Again Lucas, she's my wife. You don't know anything you bastard." - sagot nito.
Hanggang sa nagkasagutan na sila.
"Would you like me to clarify her what's really with the two of you Miguel?" -
"Just shut up." pambabanta sa kanya ni Miguel. "You don't anything about us, dahil wala ka sa Pilipinas nang naging kami. You were in States with Mom. So don't tell me that you damn know anything Lucas."
"Yeah." he started explaining. "I heard everything, that night when you and Brenna phoned."
Then he looked at me. The look tells me like: This is what really happened Gev. "I .. Heard them two talked that .. " hindi niya alam kong sasabihin pa ba niya.
Nakakaba sa damdamin.
But then my stare on him continued to talk. My eyes were telling him to speak more and yeah, he did.
"That .. that you and Miguel are not .." he paused and then calmed himself. "Not married."
NOT MARRIED.
