GENTLEMAN Series 14: Ruth Rosales

Chapter Four

Liwanag mula sa nakasiwang na bintana ang nagpamulat sa mga mata ni Ruth. Ang nakakasilaw na liwanag niyon ay unti-unting dumidikit sa balat niya. Hating gabi na ng makabalik siya dito sa tagaytay mula maynila. Pumunta siya sa Agency at inayos ang mga kailangan niyang gawin. Kinailangan pa niyang makipag usap kay Shane para ibalita ang nangyari sa ina nito.

And the woman didn't take it easy. Si Greg naman ay nagpapagawa ng sariling imbestigasyon. He was so mad and furious about the news. At aaminin niya, miski siya ay nagulat din.

Before he leave the room. Sumilip pa siya sa kabilang silid gamit ang connecting door. Bakante na 'yon kaya nasisiguro niyang gising na si Sheila. Kagabi pa niya paulit ulit na iniisip ang lahat. Pero nanaig pa rin sa kanya na tama ang ginagawa niya. This is the only way na alam niya para si Trey mismo ang lumapit sa kanya. His downfall is the biggest revenge he have in his mind. Ang unti-unti nitong pagbagsak ang magiging pinakamasarap na ganti niya.

He walked to the kitchen. He saw her there. Nakaupo sa high chair habang kumakain. Sheila took a bite of her pizza and moaned her appreciation of the delicious, savory taste filling her mouth. He'd ordered a large pizza last night but she refuses to have dinner and she choose to rest rather than to eat.

Ruth grinned and crosses his arms above his chest. "I take it your stomach is happy?"

Sheila startled when she heard his voice. "T-Trey!"

A lopsided smile appeared on his face. He can't help it especially he saw a smudge of pizza sauce around her lips. Mukha siyang batang ngayon lang nakatikim ng pepperoni-cheese-pizza."Kanina ka pa ba d'yan?" She asked while wiping off the dirt around her lips.

Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit dito. He took a slice of pizza a savor it taste. "Pizza sa umaga? Ayaw mo ba ng rice?" He munched it. "Anyway, Good morning."

She drank water. "Remember, I don't cook? Kaya nga palaging take out food ang kinakain natin noon."

Natigilan siya. Anong silbi nito bilang asawa kung di ito marunong magluto? "I'm sorry, nakalimutan ko."

She took a bite of her pizza again. Pumikit oa ito at ninamnam 'yon. "I don't remember eating this kind of food." Walang ano ano'y sabi nito.

Pizza is his favorite food. He doesn't eat bread pero kumakain siya ng pizza crust. "Don't force yourself. It will come along." He said. "Is your tummy happy?" Tanong niya kapagkuwan.

Her tongue darted out to catch the string of cheese from the corner of her mouth. "Very."

Ruth's dark and lazy gaze watched the slow slide of her tongue. He chuckled, a low, pleasant rumbling sound. "You're very easy to please."

Before sheila could stop herself, she slanted him a glanced and asked. "Am I?" She asked. "Naalala ko, palagi kang naiinis noon kasi ang hirap kong i-please. Now you're saying that I'm easy to please." There is a number of questions in her eyes.

"People change, right?" This is the hardest part of being pretending---you will be lost of excuses.

And to his surprise, she smiled. Accepting his answer without questioning him. "I like the new you. Different but more surprising."

Notice me please.

Guys, hindi muna magiging regular ang UD sa dalawang magkasabay na novel. Medyo nahihirapan kasi ako dahil under revision and editing ang story ni Cain(na kung napapansin niyo ay wala ngayon sa watty) balak ko pong iself-pub si cain kaya nagpofocus ako sa kanya. Pero susubukan ko pa ring mag-ud kung magkakaroon ako ng libreng oras. Masyadong mahirap ang ginagawa kong editing kay Cain. Malaki ang binabago ko sa kwento. May mga scenes na binura ko at pinalitan.

Sana maunawaan niyo po. Sa mga gustong bumili ng book ni cain. Wala pang details para doon. But I'll keep you all updated regarding sa iba pang details.

Salamuch ng marami.
Ai:)
