The Casanova's Greatest Love

Kabanata LIV

Happy

Natigilan siya sa sinabi ko. Alam kong sumagi din sa isipan niya na kung hihingi ako ng pabor ay ang annulment iyon. Alam kong alam niya na iyon ang pwede kong hilingin.

He looked at me while his mouth is a bit open. I can't read what he was trying to say. I can't even look at him in the eye.

"You really hate me... don't you?" I still can't look at his eyes. I hate you, it is so easy to say that. But for some reason, I don't know! I can't do it! I can't say it.

I sipped on my wine and I played with it. Pinaikot-ikot ko ang natitirang lamang wine at tumingin sa kaniya. Hindi magpapatinag kahit na nangangatog ang mga tuhod ko at kung hindi lamang ako nakaupo ay baka mabuwal ako.

There is something in his eyes when he looked at me. Anger? Disbelief? And I don't care! I don't care about him nor what he's feeling!

"You really want to get rid of me that you're wiling to sacrifice our children," paratang niya.

I felt my blood boil. Hindi ba at siya naman ang may gusto niyon? He's the one who offered it! I can't believe it!

I smirked. "Huwag mong sabihing ni hindi pumasok sa isipin mo na iyon ang magiging pabor ko?"

I laughed hysterically. I called for a waiter for more wine. Dahil sa inis ko ay kinuha ko ang wine sa waiter noong nasa harapan ko siya at ako na mismo ang naglagay niyon para sa sarili ko. Pinuno ko ang wine glass at nilagok iyon ng mabilisan.

"That's too much!" He growled in a low tone but with so much authority. The waiter jumped a bit because of it, mukhang natatakot na. He said sorry to us and excused himself.

I looked at the waiter who suddenly disappeared. I felt guilty for the waiter, mamaya-maya ay magso-sorry ako doon.

Kay Tao naman ako tumingin at nakita kong nakakunot ang noong nakatingin siya sa akin. He looked at the path that the waiter took and rolled his eyes. Siya pa ang may ganang magtaray e siya nga ang mas may benefit!

I thought he would be happy because of my decision but it seems that I upset him more. "I thought you'd be happy with my decisions. After all, we both have benefits! Ikaw, makakasama mo ang mga anak mo. Samantalang ako..." Hindi ko na natuloy. I smirked gain.

I provoked him. Mas nagalit ko siya at pakiramdam ko ay nagwawagi ako kapag nagagalit siya. Kita kong namumula na ang tenga niya sa galit. "I can't believe you..."

"That's just for a month. And after that, we will build our own family. I'll build my own family with my children... and with Kyle," He looked away. I can see his jaw moving, maybe he's clenching his teeth. He harshly drunk his wine while he's looking somewhere far.

When he finished his wine, he looked at me again. One side of his lips rose and he chuckled when he saw my reaction. The table was turned. He's more confident now!

"What if I will not sign the annulment papers? You'll be... forever jailed with me," I felt my lips trembling. Nanlamig na din ako kahit na makapal naman ang suot ko. "Kahit saan, kahit kailan. You're branded with my name. You'll never get remarried..."

Hindi ko alam pero natakot ako. Alam kong makapangyarihan siya at lalo na ngayon! Napatayo ako. Hindi dapat ako nagpapatinag. Ano ngayon, hindi ba? I can easily deny that we're married! I can easily said that it was not true! Dahan-dahan din siyang tumayo, nakangiti at parang nagsasabi na siya ang nagtagumpay.

"I don't care. With or without the ceremony of marriage, we will live happily with Kyle. Kyle is the father of my children, iyon din naman ang alam ng lahat. You are nothing but a stranger to them, Tao," He didn't talked.
