YOU BELONG TO ME

Chapter 44

"Why do you need to go to your duplex right now?" May iritasyon sa tinig na wika ni Andrex sa kanya ng sundan sya nito sa kanyang silid.
"Why not? Its my house! And i promise my son that i will bring him to his daddy Gustav. Whats wrong with that anyway?"aniyang pinagtaasan ito ng kilay ng balingan nya ito ng atensyon.
Nasa silid nya silang dalawa. Matapos ang mala disastrous nyang pakikipagharap sa pamilya ng lalaki nag-excuse sya sa mga iyon at nag-alibi na masakit ang kanyang ulo.
Di nman sya pinigilan ng kanyang mga magulang kaya sya naroroon sa kanyang silid. Nag-aayos ng kanyang mga gamit para umuwi roon sa kanyang bahay.
Wala syang planong magstay ng matagal sa bahay ng kanyang ama. Gusto nya pa rin na may sarili syang privacy at tahimik na kapaligiran.
She find her place peacefully to rest on  so she decides to go back to her place today. Her parents would understand it anyway.
"And did you forgot that you are already a married woman?"may inis sa boses nitong paalala sa kanya.
"How can i forget it honey. You already place your ring in my ring finger. See this? Its your proof that i am your wife remember?"di nya napigilan ang wag magong sarcastic dito na ikinatiim ng baga nito.
"No need to be sarcastic here." Pigil sa galit nitong saad na tinitigan sya ng mariin.
Walang salitang ipinagpatuloy nya ang paglilipit ng kanilang mga gamit.
"You are going to live with me. I have a condo in makati."aniyo pagkadaka sa kanya.
"I will go there tomorrow. I need to go back now to my duplex."aniya
"Do you really want to argue with me about this arrangement?"inis nitong bulalas sa kanya.
"I am not arguing with you right now Andrex! All i asked is give me this day to go back in my place and prepared my things!"mataas ang boses nyang tugon rito sabay tayo mula sa kanyang kama at hinarap ang lalaki.
"Why cant you be considerate in this issue?"maang nyang tanong rito.
"You are not jealous of him,are you?"aniyang napatawa ng nag-uuyam.
"Gosh! Andrex, i am already married to you yet you dont have faith in me."aniyang matter of fact rito.
"Its not like that.."anitong di itinuloy ang iba pang sasabihin sa kanya.
"then what it is if its not your jealousy now? I wont force you to admit that your jealous of him but please dont stop me from going back home and see him. He is my close friend for god's sake Andrex!"bulalas nya rito.
"I am sorry.."anitong lumapit sa kanya at hinawakan ang kanyang dalawang kamay at dinala iyon sa labi nito saka kinintalan ng halik ang kanyang mga kamao.
" you are my husband now, i need to accept it. Do you think i will cheat on you,huh,Andrex? Do you think so lowly of me then?"aniyang matamang tiningala ang mukha ng lalaki.
"No,love...thats not what i think! Am sorry. God! I love you so much Cheenna. I dont want you out of my sight again. You dont know how hard for me not to see you, hold and kiss you whenever i wanted to. You dont know how much ive missed you. How much ive missed your warm hugs. Your voice.."aniyong namamasa ang gilid ng mga mata nito habang dinala nito ang dalawang palad pahaplos sa kanyang mukha.
"you dont know how much i suffered not being with you. Thinking you might marry another man. i wanted to wring lawrence beautiful neck the first time i saw him held you in his arms and not mine. I got very angry and jealous that time. I asked myself how could you replace me with my best friend? of all people why him?"anito sa kanya.
"Oh,God, Andrex! Lawrence is my brother! I didnt replace you in my heart. I didnt even thinking of finding another man to love. How could I? We had a son Andrex. I have lexus to think of. He reminds me of you everyday. And i didnt forget you those years that past. Because i am still in love with you. You always in my heart Andrex. It hurts me so much when i learned that you are already engaged in another woman. I wanted to scream and confront you. But i dont have rights to do it. Its been four years past and i thought you alreafy move on and forgotten about me."may pait sa tinig nyang saad rito.
"You are so wrong love. I didnt forget you nor stop thinking about you everyday. I am still hoping that one day you will show up and ask me to take you again. That you are sorry for leaving me."anitong di na napigilan pa ang sariling mapaluha sa harap nya. Pinahid nya ang mga luha nitong pumatak sa pisngi ng lalaki.
"I am sorry for all those years I am gone. I am so afraid that time. Your mother doesnt like me thats why i choose to stop seeing you."paliwanag nya rito.
"And what about our son? Why you hide him from me?"anitong may pait sa tinig.
"I didnt know i am pregnant untill i found it after two months. You are studying in states and i dont have someone to rely on. I decided not to tell you for the sake of his safety. I dont want your mother will take away from me. Thats whybi hide him from you."aniya.
"You shouldnt done that."wika nitosabay yakap sa kanya.
"What choice do i have that time andrex? Sister Elaine left me and i have no one to talk to."umiiyak nyang wika rito.
"Hush...love. Im sorry for not being on your side during those hard times."pang-aalo nito habang hinahaplos ang kanyang likod.
"I wont leave you again. I will be here forever for you. Dont worry about my mom, i will handle her. "Anito sabay kintal ng halik sa kanyang noo. Umiiyak nman syang napayakap rito ng mahigpit. Gumaan bigla ang kanyang mabigat na pakiramdam kani-kanina lang.
