Dillenna Heera's Point of View:

Shit! Ang sakit ng mga mata ko. I tried hard to open my eyes. The sunlight directly hit them. I groaned. I looked around and found myself sleeping on the bed. Not only that, as far as I can remember, I was just there near the door with my gown still on. I looked at my robe again. I wasn't wrong. I'm on my robe.

"Theon—Shit!"napamura ako nang pumiyok ang boses ko.

My voice is hoarse. Dala siguro ng pagod, kakasigaw at kakaiyak ko kagabi. I ran downstairs and found him in the kitchen.

"I'm cooking breakfast."

"I'm going home."I declared.

He stopped slicing and slipped off the knife from his hand.

"Dillenna, I'm sorry for making you upset last night. Please, let's try to make everything work."

"It's not going to work no matter how hard we try because to be really honest Theon, I hate you so much."

I was planning at first to really go home but when I headed outside, there are paparazzi. Argh! Ba't ba kami dinadamay nina mommy sa magulo't maingay na mundo nila?

"Make those nosy people go away."I demanded when I got back in while he washed some dishes.

"What do you mean?"nakakunot-noo niyang tanong.

"There are media people outside. We still have a lot of things to be moved. Paano ako lalabas do'n?"

"We should just at least stay. I'll have some people take care of that stuff."

Padabog akong naupo at inirapan siya.

"Oh sorry!"he exclaimed and hurriedly prepared my breakfast.

I started eating while he still busied himself preparing a glass of milk. I furtively watched him. He took an apple from the fruit basket and washed it.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Sorry. I'm... I'm done eating. I thought you were going home—"

"Whatever Theon, I can't eat alone!"pagtataray ko.

Ano'ng ibig niyang sabihin? Hahayaan niya lang akong kumain mag-isa? Didn't he know it kills anyone's appetite? Napakamot siya ng ulo. He placed the milk and the well-sliced apple beside my plate.

"Tita told me you hate drinking milk. You have to drink this time. You know what I mean."

"Nang-aasar ka ba? Hindi nga ako buntis."

"I know. I know. Okay, I believe you! I don't want to argue with your parents nor mine. Let's just do what they want us to do."

"Whatever. Ano na? Hindi mo ba talaga ako sasabayan?"

"Dillenna, I'm so full. Wala ng mapaglalagyan."

I glared at him and pushed my plates. Napabuntong-hininga siya saka kumuha ng tinidor at tumabi sa'kin.

"Theon, anong ginagawa mo?"

"Sinasaluhan ka—"

"Sapakin kaya kita. Ang sabi ko, sabayan mo 'kong kumain hindi saluhan. Wag ka na nga lang kumain."

I saw him smiling before he turned his back on me.

"I'll just make these few calls. Just put the dishes on the sink if you're done."

Kahit hindi ko siya nakikita ay inirapan ko siya. I can't believe I'll living with him for all my life. Argh! Kaasar talaga.

"Hoy Theon!"

"What?"tanong niya ng makabalik sa dining room.

"Ikaw ba nagpalit ng damit sa'kin kagabi?"

"Yes. Why?" he replied and stared at me.

Uminit 'yong mukha ko. Papagalitan ko na naman sana siya pero naisipan kong manahimik na lang.

"Are you blushing? Look Dillenna, I'm your husband already. Isa pa, nakita ko na 'yang katawan mo."

"Umalis ka nga!"

Argh! I suddenly felt thirsty. Nilagok ko ang baso ng gatas. Damn! I can't believe I've drunk it all. Matapos kumain ay dumiretso na ako sa kwarto para magmukmok. But...

"Crawford, anong ginagawa mo dito? Get out."

"No."he briskly replied and to my surprise, he took off his shirt. "This is my room too."

"Anong ginagawa mo?"

"I'm taking a bath. Do you want to join me?"

Nang-aasar ba siya?

"Eww! In your dreams!"

I immediately got out of the room. I tried to open the other rooms but I can't. They're locked. I tried to look for the keys but I can't find them. Lalabas na sana ako nang mamataan ko ang phone nya. It's buzzing. I took the phone with me as I quickly ran downstairs to answer it.

"Hi. This is Theon's wife. Who are you?"

"Wow D! You sound like the possessive wife—"

"Amity?"

"Yes. It's me darling. I have been calling you... uhm.. you seemed to be asleep. You didn't take my calls."

"Oh. Sorry A. Is anything wrong?"

"Nothing really. Kukumustahin lang sana kita. You were so mad last night. Okay ka na ba?"

"Yes. I'm fine already. I can really deal with him. Kaya lang... my toe still hurts."

She chuckled. We talked for a little while and exchanged goodbyes. I browsed his messenger. There were few messages from his jerk-friends. I was about to close it when I read Jannica's name. Sinungaling. He hated her? And they have their conversation?

"Dillenna!"

Oh. Shhhpfft. Dali-dali akong bumalik sa kwarto.

"Hi."I tried to smile. Lalong kumunot ang noo niya.

"My phone. Where is it?"

"Here. Isusuli ko na nga eh. Nakitawag lang ako."

Ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Ganito pala 'yong pakiramdam ng mga nahuhuling magnanakaw. Tsk. He took the phone from me and went to get a shirt from the closet.

"Where are the keys of the other rooms?"

"I can't give it to you. Kabilin-bilinan ng mga magulang mo."sagot niyang nagpataas ng kilay ko.

"Ba't ka sumusunod sa kanila? We have our own lives. Akin na. Give it to me."

Like the annoying jerk as he is, he just ignored me.

"Theon! Ano ba?"

"Hindi nga pwede."

"Give it to me!"

"Makinig ka nga Dillenna. Stop acting like a child. Hindi ka na bata. Alam mo, kaya siguro hinayaan ka ng mga magulang mong makasal na rin dahil pagod na sila sa katigasan ng ulo mo."

Otomatikong lumapat ang palad ko sa pisngi niya.

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo! Wala kang karapatang sabihin sa'kin 'yan!"

Dahil wala akong ibang mapuntahan, I went to the bathroom and locked myself there. Diretsong nag-unahan ang mga luha ko. Ang kapal! Ang kapal ng mukha niya! Ang kapal ng mukha niya! Ang kapal!

"Aalis ako. Susunduin ko lang si nanay Lucy."narinig kong sabi niya makalipas ang ilang minuto.

Sa sobrang inis ko ay binato ko ng tabo 'yong pinto. Ilang minuto pa ay lumabas na ako. Humanda ka sa'kin Theon. I'll make it sure na ikaw ang mapapagod at umalis sa bahay na 'to.

I took all his things from the closet and put them in a heap inside the shower room. Even after I did it, hindi parin ako kumalma. Nanginginig parin ako sa galit. Nang marinig ko ang ugong ng kotse niya ay dali-dali akong nagpanggap na natutulog.
