My gay husband

Part 20: cold treatment

Cyan's

Im at a coffee shop trying to think and remember what really happened.

Nothing comes to my mind and it annoys me to hell, nakakailang kape na rin ako dito.

I was sipping my coffee when i saw someone smirked, she was wearing a blue dress and nude prada heels, may dala siyang dalawang kape, and mukhang alam ko na kung para kanino.

It was nicole. Nicole fontalejo, my high school enemy. It all started when i was 2nd year high school. May gusto saakin yung crush niya and she did everything just to get rid of me, she even reached to the point na muntik niya na akong itulak sa hagdan kung di lang dumating ang dean. Why is she showing up now? Ano nanaman ba ang kelangan niya? And of all people na makakalandi ni pat, bakit siya?

Biglang kumirot yung puso ko sa mga alaala kagabi. This won't help, i have to do something. Kung ayaw ni pat makipag bati, ako makikipag bati.

Dumiretso ako ng supermarket, i will cook for pat. My nanny told me about the seafood supreme, so i bought ingredients for it.

Butter, check
Crab sticks, check
Shrimp, check
Squid rings, check
Fish tofu, check
Fish cake, check
Horseclaw, check
Tuna, check
Carrots, check
Green peas, check
Corn kernel, check
Potatoes, check

I have onions na rin naman sa bahay, i have salt and pepper at may garlic na rin

Oh right! Lastly, i grabbed the full cream milk and of course i need cream! Nestle cream i think would be fine.

I paid my groceries and got home real fast. Its 4pm and dadating si pat by 6, i have 2 hours to get the dining table ready.

I started to dice the onion and garlic, then the veggies, syempre with gloves, ayokong mag suffer ng ilang days because of the smell. I was reading my nanny's recipe, trying to understand everything and doing it real careful. Baka kasi di magustuhan ni pat, this is my first time to cook and its a miracle na kaya ko pala.

"Sauté the onion and garlic using butter? Wait what? Diba tumatalsik yun? Ugh!"

Wait asan ba yung umbrella ko? I really need that now.

I feel like a dumb trying to sauté while covering myself with an umbrella, this won't work, masusunog yung onion!!!

Hinayaan kong tumalsik saakin ang butter, masakit pero kakayanin.

I started to add the veggies in, and started to sauté again, then the cubed tuna and then the shrimp which i cleaned earlier, ang hirap i needed full research para lang malaman kung papano mag linis ng hipon!

Then the horseclaw, crab sticks, fish cake, and squid rings, mamaya na ang tofu since madali lang daw maluto iyon, nanny said.

I added milk, depende daw kung gaano karami ang gusto mong sabaw, syempre niramihan ko, i like it juicy eh hihihi

Then i let it simmer hanggang sa mag boil then i added the tofu, then simmer again for ilang minuto then i added the cream, depende sayo gaano ka creamy then finally seasoning, salt and pepper lang ilalagay ko, yay! Its done!! Sana magustuhan to ni pat!

(A/n: try niyo tong recipe ko!! Masarap promise, di kayo magsisisi hahahaha sinadya ko talaga na detailed, malay niyo itry niyo dibaaa)

After my sufferings, naupo ako sa sofa, i looked at the table, di ko na kinaya mag luto ng rice so sinabihan ko si lolo na magpadala ng cooked rice dito, simple lang ang table setting na ginawa ko, flowers as a centerpiece and candles para romantic. Naligo na rin ako just in case mabaho na ako.

I was on the verge of being asleep pero bigla akong napabalikwas nang marinig kong may bumukas ng door,

"Pat!! Dinner's ready!" Sigaw ko habang naka ngiti pero napawi lahat nun nang nakita ko ang kasunod ni pat, si nicole.

"Tara, dinner is ready na daw, let's eat" pat told nicole

I can't help it but tumulo na ang luha ko, tinitignan ko lang silang kumakain ng masaya. I should be the one sitting there, i should be the one at nicole's place, i should be the one making him laugh, i should be receiving compliments right now.

"Nag order ka? Asan? This tastes delicious, right hun?" Nicole said

I wiped my tears and i forgot na puno pala ng band aid ang kamay ko, i instantly covered my hands and said na oo pina order ko kay lolo and got upstairs as quick as possible

Nahiga ako sa kama, this is my karma. Eto na yun, it is probably the odds defying. I was staring blankly on the ceiling nang nakarinig ako ng ungol.

It was them. Lumabas ako ng kwarto to check if they really are doing something.

And yes, they were making out again but this time nakaharap na sakin si pat, he was staring at me while nicole is kissing him on the neck while her hands are on pat's lap, i was sobbing. I can't help myself, i look and feel really pathetic right now.

I shouldn't have checked on them. Di ko kinaya kaya bumalik na ako ng kwarto.

I tried to sleep but its hard.

I guess this is another night of crying myself to sleep, and it is because of that stupid pictures and my stupid memories still won't come back.
