I'm The Playboy's Wife!?

Chapter 11: Gwyn's Miserable Past

Alichxia's POV

'Tutunganga ka nalang ba jan?' Boses ng Leon ang tumawag sa'kin pabalik sa realidad.

Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay.

'Get the scrabble board out of the bedsheet.'

Sinunod ko naman ang utos niya. Following instructions kasi dapat tayo palagi. Dahan-dahan nitong inihiga si Gwyn.

'What the heck!?' Gulat na sambit ko.

'Shhhh!' Inis na sabi ng Leon.

'Did she just fell asleep?' I lowered my voice.

'I thought you fell asleep while staring at the air blankly.' Kaswal na sagot nito. Tch.

'Gagu!' Inis na sabi ko na nagpagalaw kay Gwyn. What the!? Am I that noisy?

'Wag ka ngang maingay.' Another instruction from papa pig! I chuckled with the thought and it made Leon's brows furrowed.

Umusog si Gwyn sa pinakagilid ng higaan leaving a space at the center. The heck? 'Wag mo sabihing-

'I'll go sleep at my room.'

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. Tumayo na si Leon kaso agad na nahuli ni Gwyn ang kamay niya. Jusko naman 'tong batang 'to.

'Daddy don't leave me.' Parang batang nakikiusap sa tatay niyang sabi.

'Is she still awake?' Tanong ni Leon.

'Aba ewan ko. Sino ba nagpatulog?' I heard him hissed.

Tatanggalin na sana ni Leon ang kamay ni Gwyn nang biglang mas humigpit ang hawak nito. Napaka chansing mong bata ka!

'Dadsy pleaseee.' And then it hit me. Agad akong lumapit sa kanya.

Darn. Umiiyak ito kahit tulog na. I don't like seeing her like this. Kaya ginagaga ko 'to para hindi maging weakling eh.

Mga ilang minuto ang lumipas at bumalik na sa normal na pagtulog si Gwyn. Tatanggalin na sana ni Leon ang kamay niya kaso bago niya pa man magawa iyon ay agad kong pinigilan ang kamay niya. Kunot noo itong tumingin sa'kin.

'Why?' He said in almost a whisper. Tinignan ko siya diresto sa mata.

'Can you just sleep here?' I asked him.

Nagugulahan naman itong nakatingin sa'kin.

'Dadsy.' Bulong ni Gwyn sa gitna ng tulog niya habang nakangiti. Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Leon. I gulped.

'Please?' I asked.

'O-okay.' Awkward na sagot nito. Nilagay ko ang isang unan sa gitna para kay Leon at humiga narin ako.

Inayos ko ang pwesto ko at humiga narin.

Nakatalikod lang ako sa kanila. Gwyn's weak side hurts me like hell. A tear fell from my eye as I remembered the memory of that day.

Flashback~

Since Gwyn and I became close, we visit each other's homes. Every time I visit their home I could only see their workers and her mother most. I rarely see her father in their house. I saw him maybe twice or thrice only during my numbers of visit.

The day after her graduation I went to their house to celebrate with her. I went home early and stayed up late but what surprised me was Gwyn's call. It was already 11:45pm that time.
