Billionaire's Wife

Twenty-five

"Love,"

Napatigil si Vonn sa plano niyang pagpasok nang makita niya ang pag-ayos ko ng gamit. Panic and pain flashed on his green orbs before he hides it away. Nakatayo lang siya sa may pinto, hindi na muling humakbang palapit sa akin.

"You're leaving,"

That's not a question. There's something on his voice that I can't distinguish. Disappointment? Pain? Nagkahalu-halo na.

"Yeah," I answered without looking at him.

"Why? Why are you leaving me again?"

Napatigil ako sa paglalagay ng damit sa bag ko dahil sa sinabi niya. He sounds so calm. But the sadness on his voice is noticeable. Gusto ko tuloy siyang yakapin.

"Ano ka ba! Lilipat lang ako ng bahay!" I said with a jolly tone, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere. "And it's not that far from the company."

Hindi siya sumagot kaya napalingon ulit ako sa kanya. He took a deep breath and finally, took the courage to sat on my bed. Mag kaharap na kami ngayon. He looks so sad and tired. Oh God. I want to hug him so tight.

"Why, Love?" Sadness is visible on his voice kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin. "Why are you leaving? Aren't you happy with me?"

Masaya. Masaya akong kasama ka. But it needs to have an end. I need to sort out my feelings first before jumping in this deadly situation. I know that I am starting to get attached again, that I am slowly falling... and I'm scared.

"Wag ka ngang OA!" I even smiled at him para matago ang uneasiness sa mukha ko. "I'm just right around the corner. One drive away."

"Why can't we be together?" He whispered under his breath pero narinig ko parin. Hindi siya nakatingin sa akin. Ang mga titig niya ay nasa damit kong nakatupi. "Why do you always have to leave?"

My heart ached upon seeing his face. Hindi siya nakatingin sa akin kaya malaya ko siyang natititigan. His eyes expressed all his hidden feelings at this moment. The pain and sadness are all visible on his eyes that it made my heart ache just by looking at those sad green orbs.

"You can visit me any time you know" Bulalas ko kaya napatakip ako ng bibig.

"Really, Love?!"

Mabilis siyang napatingin sa akin. Halata sa mukha niya ang kasiyahan dahil sa narinig. Pikit mata akong tumango.

Ilang mura na ang nasambit ko sa isip ko. Stupid Sapphire. Aalis nga ako para mapalayo sa kanya, diba? Why the hell am I suggesting him to visit me anytime? I am fucking digging my own grave. What an idiot. Ang rupok, tangina.

"But... do you really have to go?"
