Enemy's Trap (4th Gen #1)

Chapter 13 (2)

NG magising siya kinabukasan ay malakas na kumalam ang kanyang sikmura. She didn't eat last night so she was starving. She's afraid to go out kaya itinulog na lamang niya ang kanyang gutom.

Where is he? The house is quite silent and cold. It's not the same feels when Heixon is around.

She immediately drop that thought. Hindi siya dapat nag-iisip ng ganoon. Nasasanay na siya sa presensya ng binata at para sa kanya hindi iyon nakalabubuti. She can't be dependent, not with him.

Ng makababa siya para tunguhin ang kusina ay may nakita siyang nakahandang pagkain sa lamesa.

It's her breakfast. Did he made it?

Lumapit siya sa mesa. Mainit-init pa, ibig sabihin bago ito.

Did he left already?

Maybe. Para sa isang tao lang kasi ang hinandang pagkain. Pero marami pa rin, maybe he knows that she's starving.

'He was a husband, a good husband to you,' muling bulong ng kanyang isipan. Agad na pilit niyang ibinalewala iyon.

What she said was for the best, ito na nga binigay na ng binata sa kanya ang gusto nniya why is she sulking?

Inis na ninguya niya ang pancake.

Why is it so delicious? Naiiyak tuloy siya.

The doorbell rang which made her jump from her seat. Sino naman kaya ang bibisita sa kanya?

Kahit ayaw niyang umalis sa pinagkaininan ay napilitan siyang tumayo para pagbuksab ng pinto kung sino man ang may sadya sa bahay nila.

Ganoon na lamang ang gulat niya ng bumungad sa kanya ang isang lalaki. He wasn't expecting to see him or to visit on their house.

"Dence!"

"Hi. May I come in?" Tanong nito. May dala-dala itong kahon na regalo.

"Sure." Nilakihan niya ng bukas ang pinto para makapasok ito. Bago niya isara ang pinto ay lumingon muna siya sa paligid. Heixon didn't come with him.

Tuluyan na niyang isinara ang pinto.

"Wow. I didn't expect you to be here." She said while tailing him. He went to the sofa and sit there. Nilapag nito ang dala sa center table.

"Why am I not allowed to be here?" He wasn't serious in that tho, he was half kidding.

"No, no! Hindi naman sa ganoon. Like why would you waste your time here, 'di ba? Your time is a freaking diamond."

He chuckled, napailing. "By the way, open the box now. Before its too late."

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Why? Can't I open it later? Is it bomba?" She gasped exaggeratedly. "Do you want to kill me because---"

"Silly, no." He chuckled again. "It's a gift, tho it's not from me."

Her forehead knotted again. "Huh? Did why are you the one giving it to me? And nautusan ka pa talaga."

"Nah. I just notice that he keep on staring on that one. I can read from his mind that he wants to buy it but I don't know why is he holding back."

Who probably that?

"Nag-away ba kayo?" Dugtong na tanong nito. Doon na kinompirma ang hinala niya.

"So, it's from... Heixon?" Pagdadalawang-isip niya tanong niya. Baka kasi magkamali siya pero sino ba kasi ang ibang naka-away niya? Tho they did not fight but it also seems like that.

"Yes."

She bit her lower lips and stared at the box. What is it?

"Open it now. I've gotta go." Tumayo na si Dence at hindi man lamang niya naihatod palabas. She just keep staring at the box. When he's now out of their house, she picked up the box. She was about to shake it when he notice a note attached to it.

'Do not shake. Open it.' -D.L.B

Sinunod niya ang utos sa papel. She open it and to her surprised it was a puppy!

"Oh my!" She gasped then she lift the cute puppy.

"You are so small!" She giggled. Nanggigigil siya sa tuta. She's hlding it carefully, afraid that it might hurt.

The puppy bark. She chuckled when the bark was cute!

It's a white Japanese Spitz. And it's a girl!

"What do you want me to call you?" She asked like the puppy gonna answer.

"Silly me. You don't know how to talk pala. Should I bark? Aw aw aw aw!"

She look like a baliw. Mukhang nakikisabay naman ang tuta sa kanya kaya tumahol rin ito.

"You are so cute! I'll call you...hmmm." She was thinking of a name. What suit this cute little puppy?

Habang nag-iisip siya ay nanatiling nakatitig ang tuta sa kanya. The puppy looks so innocent. Aww, she loves her na.

"MaRha. I'll call you Marha. From Heixon Marcus and my Cleo Phat Rha. I'll call you Marha, okay?"

The dog bark once again. Aww, she loves it!

Habang marahan na hinahaplos niya ang ulo nito ay tuluyan itong nakatulog. Muling bumalik sa kanya ang suliranin.

She can't help but to think about her and Heixon. Ano na lang ang mangyayari kapag nag-abot sila sa bahay? Would they act like before? 'Nung aso't pusa pa sila? Or not?

She sighed heavily.

"Your Daddy, he's always been a pain on my ass." She whispered talking to the sleeping puppy.

"I haven't penetrated you ass, yet. Hindi pa 'yan masakit." A voice suddenly appear.

Napalingon siya sa likuran niya. Nasa entrada nga ang binata ng bahay nila!

"Heixon!" She called in surprised. Dahil sa sigaw niya ay nagising ang tuta. Umungot ito.

"Sshhh, I'm sorry, baby Marha. Sleep na." Marahan na pakiusap niya rito while carrying the poor puppy but she won't sleep, she just stared at Heixon who's also staring back at the puppy.

"Ahm..Dence, brought the puppy here. He said that, uh," Should she say that Heixon like the puppy or not? Pero baka naman mali ng hinala si Dence?

"So, he wad here." Hus voice wasn't please on what she said.

"Yes pero sandali lang naman. He just gave this to me. He said, i-it's from y-you." Nahihiyang nag-iwas siya ng tingin.

Why are you acting like that, Cleo? Inis na pinagalitan niya ang sarili. Eer, maube because may kasalan siya sa binata? Pero kasalanan ba talaga ang sinabi niya kahapon? She was just...telling him what is right. Or was it really the right thing to do?

Urgh, she's complicated.

Tumango lang ang binata at nilagpasan siya. Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi sa inakto nito.

"Y-you are home early." Hindi niya napigilang sabi ng nasa hagdan na ang binata. Baka papuntang kwarto nila.

"Dence was here." He answered shortly then he left.

Gusto pa sana niyang magtanong pero mukhang hindi sila good terms ng binata.

She sighed and look at the puppy.

"Your Daddy is mad at me."
