13th Chapter : her reason

Zia's POV

When Arjel left part of me wants to follow him especially when I cannot even come with him sa airport para ihatid sya. He said that he might not be able to leave if he see me there but I was also aware that I'm not allowed to that as well. Maraming puedeng makakita sa'min at iyon ang iniiwasan naming dalawa.

I was just lying on the bed. It's been two hours now since he left and I never felt so miserable in my entire life before.

My thoughts were cut off when I heard my phone ringing. Napabalikwas agad ako ng bangon and immediately took it on the bed side table hoping that it was Arjel who's calling me. That hope died when I saw the caller ID.

" Hello? " I tried to sound as cheerful as possible para hindi makahalata ang kausap ko that I felt so bad today.

" I'm on my way to Paladine restaurant. "

" Alright. Papunta na din ako. " after that I hunged up he phone at nagbihis na.

Arjel bought a car and he said that I can use it anytime but I don't want to. Mas lalo ko kasing nararamdaman ang pagiging mistress ko everytime I was using Arjel's things or mga bagay na binili nya sa'kin.

Paladine restaurant is a thirty minute drive from Arjel's abode. And as soon as I got there I immediately saw a familiar face not far away from the entrance.

" Zia .. " he stood up at lumapit sa'kin.

" Louie .. " I tried to fake a smile as he approached me.

Yes, it's Louie. I called him up para pasunorin dito sa Cebu and good thing he agreed. Sya lang naman kasi ang puede kong makausap tungkol kay Arjel.

" So, what's your plan? Makikipag hiwalay ka na ba? " he asked breaking the silence between us matapos iserve ang order namin.

I shook my head while my eyes were glued at the food in front of me. I felt my appetite wearing out.

" So what's this  all about? " he probed quizzically.

" I just want to think. Clear all my thoughts para pagbalik ko mawala na yung insecurities na nararamdaman ko. " I answered truthfully.

" In your one year relationship kailan ka ba hindi naging insecure? " I stopped cutting the steak on my plate and stare at him. " Zia, as long as Arjel is married you can't take that insecurity away from you kasi lagi mong maiisip na may babae ng nagma may ari sa kanya. " he continued as I remained looking at him.

Those words stung. Really, truth hurts.

I drank some water to clear the lump in my throat. " He loves me. "
