•CELESTE'S POV•
NAKALABAS na ako ng ospital nang matiwasay pero hindi pa nakakalakad nang maayos. Congressman offered his help but I denied it. Siya nagbayad ng pagkaka-ospital ko at walang palya siyang inaalagaan ako ng ilang araw doon. In other words, I'll consider that as his payment of what he did to me!
Umupo ako sa long couch ng condo ko. I watched him get some water in the fridge. Linggo ngayon kaya wala siyang trabaho. Bumalik siya agad na may apple na dala na nakalagay sa platito at tubig.
"Hydrate yourself," ani niya sabay lapag nito sa center table.
"Thank you," mahina kong bulong na may lamig o lambing? Umupo siya sa tabi ko kaya napausog ako papalayo. He chuckled at my movement. Nahihibang na ba siya?!
I should move, okay! Kanina pa nagwawala ang puso ko at kahit isang segundo lang ay makakalma naman ako.
"You really hate me, huh," with humorous eyes, he teased. Binaliwala ko siya at kinuha na lang ang remote control para paandarin ang TV.
"I want to hate you but I should not. You saved me from a life and death situation." Na ikaw lang naman din ang may kasalanan!
"Oh? That's acceptable," he chuckled with satisfaction, tapping my thigh. Muntikan na ako mapaigtad dahil sa reaksiyon ng aking katawan. "What do you want for brunch?" Tumayo siyang tinitingnan ang palabas sa TV. It was an internation broadcasting company.
"You will cook again?," medyo gulat ako. "Wala ka bang lakad? Date? Alam ko namang may schedule kayong lakad ni Celestina. I am fine here."
He eyed me with curiosity at my words but they held delightful emotions.
"You want us together already?," asar na naman niya pero alam kong seryoso ang kanyang mga mata, umaasa. I gasped my wits back. I did not answer him and focused on the TV show.
My face was emotionless as I stared at it, don't know what would be my answer to that irrelevant question!
"Nagsusungit naman agad. I know you're very mad at me to the depths of hell. I will cook you food for our brunch. This is the least I can do."
Nagkibit-balikat akong iniisip ang bagay na hinihingan niya ng tawad dahil kanyang ginawa. That was he had made love to my sister, as he thought. Nirerespeto niya raw ako bilang kapatid ng babaeng gusto niya. Wow!
"So?"
"You can cook whatever you want."
"Okay!," palakpak niya ng kaisa. Pumikit akong nakahinga nang maluwag nang makaalis siya. I glanced at him as he walked on the mini kitchen.
These past days, he never mentioned that he and Celestina had talked about their 'love makings'. He looked so sad yesterday because my sister weren't answering his calls. Ngayon, pinapasaya niya ang kanyang sarili sa pamamagitan ng pang-aasar sa akin.
He had pissed me off since he had fetched me in the hospital.
Paano kung dahil sa galit ni Celestina ay sasabihin niya kay Congressman ang totoong nangyari?
Why would I even recommend her that they can still have a relationship after what happened? Celestina had a fragile heart. It can be easily broken. If she is desperate with Congressman, she will still date him. Kung isip ang papairalin niya, tatapusin nilang dalawa ang kanilang kahibangan. Kung puso naman ay baka nga tatanggapin niya pa rin ang lalaki.
Why would you still date a man who had a one night stand with your sister?
Hinilot ko ang sentido dahil sa malaking problema na ito. I lied my identity to Congressman. I lied everything that night. Iyong katawan ko lang ang hindi nagpadala sa kasinungalingan.
