Romance With My Husband (Completed)

27

Chapter 27: Secrets

A few weeks ago, I was still fine and stable about my body and all. But these days, mas napadalas kong nararanasan ang morning sickness of pregnancy.

I am craving for such foods. Kahapon lang pinagprito ko ang isa sa mga katulong ng okra and dipped it with some ketchup. I don't know but it tasted delicious. Really.

Kahapon din ay nagpunta akonsa OB, to check how my baby is going. And everything is going smoothly, said the doctor plus the baby's fine.

The kids are playing, in a month bakasyon na naman nila. How fast it is.

"Ma'am may bisita po." Sabi ng isa sa mga katulong. Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko dito sa may terrace at dinahan-dahan ang paglalakad ko patungo sa may gate.

Tinulungan naman ako ng mga kasambahay na pagbuksan ang mga bisita. In my own shock, ay hindi ako agad nakapagsalita.

It was the investigators. "Come in." I said and guided them inside the house, patungo sa office ni Sed.

We all sat in silence. Hindi na ako nagpaliguy-ligoy pa at binasag na ang nakakabinging katahimikan.

"So how was it?" I asked.

"Klare Linel Fausti," panimula ng mas nakakatandang lalaki, named Nikolas.

"Klare Linel Fausti is the name based on our research. She came from an orphanage and was adopted by Rigor and Klarisa Fausti." Seryosong sabi niya pa.

"Mr. Fausti was unfortunately shot in head which caused his death, and was followed by his wife's cargiac arrest knowing his death." Ani ng nakababata namang partner, Hawk.

"W-Who killed his father? And when" I popped my own thoughts and spoke.

"Wala kaming nakalap na impormasyon, but based on the stories, ay may kaugnayan ito sa kanilang negosyo. And she was just 15 or something that time." Nikolas with his old and crackling voice.

Tumango-tango lang ako. That's so depressing.

"That's it?" Tanong ko.

Umiling sila't may inabot na folder saakin. Kumunot ang noo ko't unti-unting binuklat ito.

It was her wearing a simple shirt and pants with a black cap on her head. At may kasama siyang lalaki. It was unknown, naka-black hoodie ang lalaki and somehow a dark colored pants like a navy blue or more darker. And was also wearing a cap and a face mask.

For pete's sake, anong tinatago ng babaeng ito?! At sino naman ang lalakeng ito?

Tinignan ko ang ibang mga litrato. I scanned each of the photos, pero nagtuon ang atensyon ko sa isang litrato kung saan may inaabot ang lalaki kay Klare.

It was  in a small pocket. What is that?

"Do you know who is she with?" I asked in a gelidly tone.

"Sadly, not yet Madame." Magalang nilang sagot.

Maybe next time, ay malalaman ko rin. Makikilala ko rin kung sino ang mga tumutulong sakaniya't malalaman ko rin kung ano ang kaniyang rason.

"Kailan lang ito?" Dagdag ko pa.

"Just last friday." Hawk stated.

Napaisip agad ako. It was that time when Sed asked me out for dinner and told me Klare was out with some man too. Damn.

Habang busy ako sa pagaayos ng mga damit na gagamitin nila Ark at Nathan, since they are taking their bath, ay biglang nagring ang phone ko.

Naglakad ako patungo sa lamesa at nakila ang caller ID n'on, it's Klare.

I rolled my eyes, so bitchy of mine but no one sees me anyway. I answered the call.

"Yes?" Walang kagana-ganang sagot ko sa tawag niya.

"Can you come over here? Nagluto kasi kami ni Derek. So I wanted to share it with you guys." Aniya.

"Ok. We'll be there in an hour." Sabi ko nalang ng hindi nagdalawang-isip at walang pagaalinlangang ibinaba ang call.

They cooked? Wala kayang lason? No, just kidding.

Pinagbihis ko ang mga bata ng iba pa nilang damit bukod sa mga pambahay at sinabing tutungo kami sa Daddy nila.

I wore a black polo dress with white linings on its collar and paired it with with sneakers.

Tutal naman at sinisipag ako ay, ako na ang nagdesisyong magdrive ng kotse mula dito, sa laguna hanggang makati.

Ang lapit! Note the sarcasm. Pipili na nga lang kasi ng paglilipatan ang babaeng iyon ay sa kabilang dulo pa ng location namin.

Nasa likod ang mga bata at naglalaro ng sari-sarili nilang iPad. This will gonna be a long ride.

About 3 hours and a half took us before we got in Makati. She already texted me, what floor and kung anong numero ang nakalagay sa pinto nila.

Umakyat na kami sa sinabi niyang palapag at hindi rin nagtagal ay nahanap namin ang condo.

We clicked the doorbell. At agad ay sumalubong ang nakangiting si Klare.

Sumilip ako sa loob at nakita ko si Sed na nanonood ng T.V.

3rd Person's POV

Klare prepared the meals for them. She was joyous as she served them the dishes she cooked with the help of her so-owned-man, Derek.

"Ark, Nathan, pahinga muna kayo para 'di kayo masyadong mahilo sa biyahe." Paalala ni Yuna sa kaniyang mga anak.

Napangiti si Klare habang nakaupo sa sofa, beside her is Derek.

"P'wede mo na muna silang patulugin sa master's." She suggested, nang makita niyang hinihikab na sa pagod kalalaro ang mga bata.

"Mm, -kay." Yuna murmurred.

Pansin niya ang  pagusog ng dila nito 'pag nagsasalita siya ngunit hindi naman ito ang tipong nilalayuan siya.

She looked at her as she stood up and brought the kids to the room she was talking about.

Tutok na tutok lang ang atensyon ni Derek sa kaniyang pinapanood, habang unti-unti namang hinihila ng pagkabagot si Klare.

Nang bumalik si Ayuna galing sa kuwarto ay, ngumiti si Klare.

"Wanna drink?" She asked the both of them, Ayuna and Derek, with a ghost of smirk on her face.

"S-Sige na A-Ayuna, just one drink." Ani ni Klare. Habang iniaabot kay Yuna ang shot glass ng Vodka.

Umiiling lang si Yuna, at halatang-halata ang pilit na ngiti nito.

"Bakit ayaw mo?" Napapahagikgik na tanong nito. Si Derek naman ay paunti-unti lang sa paginom. Just moderate.

Hinahagod na nito ang likuran ni Klare, dahil na rin lasing na ito at muhang wala na sa tamang pagiisip.

"Klare, let's go to our room." Aniya at akmang itatayo na siya ngumit nagpumiglas lang ito.

"No. Not yet." Aniya habang umiiling-iling. "Ayuna," sabay turo niya kay Ayuna.

"Why don't you drink? May itinatago ka bang sikreto? Kaya ayaw mo?" Dagdag pa nito habang nakayuko na at pilit na tumatawa.

Yuna smirked. She crossed her legs, and rested her long and lean arm ontop of the sofa's headboard.. that showed her femininity on the other side.

"How about you? Do you mind spilling your dirty little secrets before I share mine?" She responded, making Klare unable to speak again. It was indeed an ample comeback.

It was as if she made a loud and bangling howl that made the witch broke off its awful laugh because of  forebode.
