Chapter 47: Queries of a Bothered Heart

DILLENNA'S POINT OF VIEW:

Palibot-libot kami ni Amity sa mall nang mamataan ko ang mommy ni Theon. She isn't alone. She's with Jannicca. Ba't sila magkasama? Wala sa sariling sinundan ko sila.

"D? Where are we going?"nagtatakang tanong ni Amity.

Hindi ko siya sinagot. Binilisan ko ang hakbang ko. As they entered a famous wedding boutique they once referred to me for my wedding, I came to a halt. What the hell are they going to do in that place? Is someone going to be married?

"Dillenna? Okay ka lang?"nag-aalalang tanong ni Amity.

"Let's go home, A. I'm already tired."nasambit ko nalang at agad na tumalikod.

NAKAABANG sa doorway si Theon nang makapasok ako ng bahay. Patakbo niya akong sinalubong at niyakap. Ano ba'ng nangyayari sa kanya? He's acting like a paranoid lately! Natatakot na ako sa ginagawa niya.

"Ang akala ko talaga, iniwan mo na ako."

"Theon? Will you please be honest? May problema ba? You're acting so strange lately. It's driving me nuts!"naiinis na utal ko.

"No—no. Nothing's wrong."he replied and tried to act normal. "S—shall we go out tonight? Can I have a date with my wife, please?"

Sa mukha niya ngayon, walang kahit na sinong babae ang hihindi sa kanya. What I found next is myself nodding to him. Nag-ayos naman agad ako. I took one simple black halter dress and matched it with my strappy black sandals. Pababa na ako ng staircase samantalang nakaabang siya sa'kin. His smiles were pure and saccharine. Somehow, all the worries have withdrawn as I'm seeing how gorgeous my husband is.

"You're an epitome of beauty that even Aphrodite herself envies. I'm the luckiest man alive."he muttered without taking his eyes off me.

Lumapit ako sa kanya para ayusin ang tie niya.

"Perfect. You look perfect."I whispered and met his gaze. "Theon, to be very honest, I don't know if I could go on living without you. Kahit na mas madalas 'yong mga problema natin, okay lang basta kasama kita."

"I love you so much babygirl. Please hold on to me, no matter what."he whispered and kissed me ardently.

Bago pa maudlot ang date namin, I broke the kiss. Theon took me to a restaurant I've never been to before. The ambiance is very chimerical and I love it. However, in the middle of our romantic date, two presence came to intervene our privacy.

"Have you told her already, Theon?"anang mommy niya na parang nahawa na sa ka-artehan ni Jannicca.

"Mom? Please, just stop it. Not here. Just leave mom—"

"Come on Dillenna, let's talk."his mother diverted her attention to me.

Laking gulat ko nalang nang hilahin niya palayo ang ina niya. Naiwan akong lalong naguguluhan kasama ang babaeng kahit kailan ay hindi ko magiging kaibigan.

"I am going to tell you something Heera. First, let me apologize for setting you up that night. I just really hate you. Anyway, it's not really my idea. It was your husband's. I am not certain if his reasons for doing it and conniving with me is because he is obsessed with you, or he is obsessed in competing with his brother."wika niyang nagpagulo lang lalo ng isip ko.

The frowns on my forehead has gotten worse. I don't understand anything from what she's saying. Did she just tell me that the idea of setting me up is primarily Theon's? He told me... He told me that very morning na wala siyang kinalaman sa nangyaring pag-set up sa'kin. Nanlalamig ako. Hindi ko maatim kung ano ang nararamdaman ko that moment. Si Theon ang may pakana ng gabing 'yon?

"Wait. Don't tell me Heera, he didn't tell you about his family. Ang dami mo palang hindi pa nalalaman. I hope nakatulong ako."she muttered and turned her back on me to leave the place.

I was left standing apalled from the things she has just infused in my mind. Bumalik si Theon na namumula ang mukha. It indicates he's furious. Naniningkit rin ang mga mata niya.

"I want to go home." I heard myself say.

"Dillenna, no. We're not going anywhere until we finish our date—"

"I'm tired. I wanted to rest already. Just take me home, Theon."sabi kong nagpipigil na wag umiyak sa harap niya.

DUMIRETSO agad ako ng kwarto nang makarating kami ng bahay. Pinapanood lang niya ako habang nag-aayos ako ng sarili. Maya-maya pa ay lumapit siya't niyakap ako.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for what happened. It's supposed to be a great night."mahinang saad niya habang nakayakap parin sa'kin.

I heaved out a sigh before I faced him.

"It's alright. Let's just sleep."I murmured after closing my eyes.

I just want to forget what had happened. Ilang oras na akong nakapikit pero hindi parin ako makatulog. Kanina pa nag-iingay ang isip ko. Kahit naman siguro sino ay magiging palaisipan ang nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon. More determined to wreck my life, Jannicca has developed more confidence about herself. Perhaps, there are a lot of people supporting her pursuits.

Changed, his mother has become very unbecoming. What was she supposed to tell me last night? Didn't she ask to talk to me?

Jannicca will never be the person I'm going to trust. Whatever she will say, I'm not supposed to believe it. Why are her words haunting me right now? What is about his family? And the set up, is it really Theon's idea?

IHAVE MADE UP my mind—at least that was I thought earlier. Facing the doorbell,I stood up more dubious whether I'm really going to do what I've planned thismorning. Yes, I have to sort things out. I have to know the truth. Yet, arethey the person I should be asking for the truth?
