Tahimik akong nakangiti habang pinagmamasdan si Christoff na nagluluto. I guess this is why i fell inlove with him. He's every girl's dream guy. Sobrang ideal. He's good at everything, and he loves me. I can see that.
I trust Christoff so much. His presence is so familiar. His aura's comfortable and i like his company.
"You sure you don't wanna help? Marunong kang magluto way back." Lumingon sya sakin at hinubad ang apron. may kinuha sya sa ref. I smiled.
"I'll just watch you. Do we always Cook together?" I asked. Napatigil naman sya at pinagpatuloy ang pagluluto.
"You we're the one who taught me how to cook. Sabi mo kasi, gusto mo sa lalaking marunong magluto." He said. I smiled but deep inside lost with my thoughts.
Would i be that happy if i remember those things about me? about us? Why do i always look for the missing fragments of my memories that's lost? Maybe because i want to be happy. Gusto kong maranasang matuwa habang naalala kung ano ang ginagawa ko dati.
I wanna start over again. But maybe there was a reason why the memories haven't appeared yet. Maybe i just need time. Maybe i also need to forget. Did i ever wished to forget? Maybe i did and this happened.
Naamoy ko ang niluto nyang dahan dahang inilapag sa table. I smiled. Kung ako nga ang nagturo sakanya, then i must be a good cook. "Thank you." I smiled at him. nagsalin sya ng tubig at nilagay ang gamot ko sa tabi ng baso.
We ate in silence at minsa'y nagkakatingina. I just smiled at him and continued eating. Everything was so perfect. Kung tutuusin, This is the life i want. Peaceful. But why do i like peace? Masyado nabang magulo dati? What was it like before i lost my memories?
It ended like the usual, matapos kaming kumain ay may lakad nanaman si Christoff. Probably work. I like this. Na wala akong ginagawa. I don't know but i think i should work too, but i rather stay here and rest. Maybe I'll gain weight with this routine.
Tahimik akong nanunuod nang makarinig ako ng ingay na nagbukas ang pintuan. I didn't mind cause i know it's Christoff. who would it be? But i stopped when i heard many footsteps. Christoff don't really like to brint people here, kung may kasama man sya, it'd be a doctor or some of his men.
I looked back and saw a lot of men in black suits. They we're all good looking. But what caught my attention is the man in the middle who looks like an action star, or more like the villain in the action films. He looked so handsome that i forgot i have a husband. He's wearing a blue poloshirt and slacks. I swallowed. Is it a sin to drool when you're married?
Singlakas ng tambol ang pintig ng puso ko. Is he that appealing? We just stared at each other. He looked intense and i looked away. Nagbalik ako sa sarili. "Sino kayo?" Tumayo ako.
"We're going home." The man said. Lumapit sa akin ang isang lalaking ka edad lang nya. He looks drop dead gorgeous too.
"Tricia? Do you remember me?" He smiled at me.
"Kilala mo ako?" I asked. Who is this guy? And why does he know me? Who are they?
"Stop the talk, get her out of here." Utos nong gwapong lalaki.
Napakunot ang noo ko. "Who the hell are you guys? Wala dito ang asawa ko if you're looking for him." Umatras ako. I can sense that they're going to do something.
"Fuck." Mura noong lalaki. I looked at him at madilim ang kanyang paningin. Why does he look like that? A handsome villain!
"Trish, what you learn from Christoff were lies. You are not married."
Kumunot ang noo ko. "What are you talking about?"
"I mean, you are married. But not to Christoff."
Malakas na itinulak ko ang lalaki sa harapan ko. How could he say those ruthless nonsense words?! Christoff is my husband! And if he's playing games at me then this is not funny at all!
Lumapit ang lalaking iyon. "Let's get going." He ordered at hinigit ang kamay ko. Tiningnan ko ang lalaking itinulak ko at nauna nang lumabas kasama ang ibang lalaki.
"Sino kaba? Let me go! Sino ba kayo? I am married! Puwede ba?" Iritado kong singhal sakanya. Bakit parang napakapamilyar ng haplos nya sa akin? His hand feels rough but his touch is soft.
"Sure you are. You are goddamned married to me." Madilim at malamig ang bawat pagkakasabi nya noon.
Sasagutin ko sana sya ngunit bigla kong naramdaman na parang may nagbubuhol sa ulo ko. Napahawak ako roon.
"Ah," I cried. My head hurts like something's cracking inside. I feel so numb and the pain frozes my body from moving that i can't even say anything. My mind was clouded with images i cannot recall and voices calling me out but i cannot spell.
My head throbbed from the pain. I felt such gentle gestures on my shoulders, shaking me. "Tricia? Fuck. Baby, hold on."
Why does this hurt so bad? but what's so painful is the throbbing of my heart. Why does it ache? I am seeing memories i haven't seen before and i haven't knew.
I cried but i cannot say a word. My eyes are watering and my visions are blurred. I felt my body convulsing in pain and writhing with such throbbing i feel. The next thing i knew, i felt myself being lift on the ground and the pain drooling over my body, owning it.
I cannot feel anything. Just mere pain. coming from my head and my heart. They don't agree with each other. While my heart's beating so fast, my memories we're breaking apart. I wanna stop here and watch those memories come back to me.
The last thing i know, i was mumbling Christoff's name for no reason.
