Accidentally Married

Chapter 4: Wife

Her head was heavy and body still weak. Gosh, what did she get herself into? Hindi na talaga siya uulit! Kaya pala ayaw ni Fred na papuntahin siya sa mga bar dahil sa ganito.

"Good morning..."

"Good mor--" Natigilan siya at agad na nanlaki ang mga mata. Tama ba iyong naririnig niya? Sandali.. Boses ba ng lalaki iyon?

"Rise and shine, parating na ang breakfast..." Napabalikwas ng bangon si Camilla nang marinig muli ang tinig ng isang lalaki at doon nga  bumungad ang mukha nito!

Sandali... Ito ang kausap niya kagabi! B-Bakit ito nandito? Gosh! Napaupo siya nang maayos at tinakpan ang mga mukha, she hasn't washed her face and gargled.

Teka, bakit iyon pa talaga ang nasa isip niya?

"What are you doing here?" Kunot ang noo niya habang... sino nga ulit ito? Hindi nga niya naitanong ang pangalan nito! "Who are you, again?"

Napatingin ito sa kanya, parang nananantsa. Parang may mali sa tinanong niya. Napaupo ito nang tuwid. Shoot! Why does he have to flaunt his biceps?

"Come again?"

Itatanong niya na sana ulit ang pangalan nito nang biglang magring naman ang cellphone niya. Agad niyang nakuha iyon at nasagot. She usually don't answer unregistered numbers but... she felt that she needed something to cut the tension between them.

Hindi niya maipaliwanag. Hindi na talaga siya uulit!

"Hello?"

"Good morning, Ms. Camilla Salvador!" the person greeted her, "This is Julie Balthazar of CRS Custom Brokerage, I just want to remind you that your meeting with Mr.Klein will be at 7:30 AM today"

Shit! She looked at the clock and see that it's already 6:35 AM! Shit! Shit! Agad siyang napabangon at hindi na ininda na may kasama pa pala siya sa kwarto.

Thank God she's still dressed. Mukha namang walang ibang nangyari kagabi... Wala naman yata?

"T-Thank you, Julie!"

She rushed into the shower room and fixed herself! Damn, this is harder than she thought. How could she fix her hangover image when she's still feeling a little bit of hangover!

What happened to her? Gosh! She could already hear Fred lecturing her about this kind of matter. Damn it!

"May lakad ka?" Nagulat siya nang makitang nandoon pa rin ang lalaki. Somehow, she didn't feel uncomfortable with him. Weird pero baka dahil sa hangover?

Wala naman siyang naramdaman na kakaiba sa katawan kaya naniniwala siyang hindi siya nito pinagsamantalahan.

She found herself nodding at him, natatandaan niyang sinabi niyang may asawa siyang tao.

Wow. Just wow.

"Uhmm... I-I'm gonna see someone..." Paliwanag niya at nagmamadali pa rin sa pagsusuklay, "Gosh, alam mo ba kung papaano makahanap ng taxi? I-I can't drive..." Ang ayos din niya, ano? She's practically asking this stranger for a ride.

"Where are you going anyway?" Casual naman nitong tanong sa kanya, "Maybe I know the place, I can drive you myself..."

Napatingin siya sa oras. Kung hindi lang siya sobrang late, hindi niya ito tatanggapin. But, he looked like he knew Cebu so... "CRS Custom Brokerage... Ito yung nandito sa papel..."

Hindi ito umimik sandali at napabalik ng tingin sa kanya, "You didn't know this place?"

Umiling siya, "Alam mo ba o hindi? I really need to go... Busy daw iyong tao na kikitain ko kaya kailangan ko magmadali..."
