Tears Of The Unwanted Wife [COMPLETED]

Unwanted Wife 23

"Hoy manong, ano nga palang pangalan mo? HAHAHAHA!" Napangiwi ako ng bigla siyang tumawa ng napaka lakas.

Hindi ko alam kung sasabihin ko ba sa kaniya ang tunay kong pangalan o magsisinungaling ako. Pinikit ko ang aking mga mata at sinagot siya.

"Helius..."

"Hala! Kapangalan mo pala ang asawa ko. Ang galing! Sana di ka tumulad sa kaniya! Kinuha niya ang baby ko. Huhuhu!"

Pumapalakpak pa siya at tumalon talon pa. Naaawa ko siyang tinitigan at napayuko na lang ako dahil sa nakikita ko.

Habang nakatingin sa kaniya kanina, nagda dalawang isip na ako kung itutuloy ko pa ba ang pakay ko bakit ako narito.

Ano ka ba Helius! Baka nga nagpa panggap lang ang babaeng iyan!

Shit!

I erased that thought and focused my gaze on her.

She's not making an act.

Yes, she is.

Ipinilig ko ang aking ulo dahil sa isinisigaw ng isang bahagi ng isip ko.

Maybe yes, maybe not.

But whatever it is,

I'll stick with my plan.

***

Gabi na ng makauwi ako ng Baybay.

Siguradong magta taka si Vero kung bakit matagal ko siyang sinundo.

Bumili na rin ako ng pagkain sa isang fast food na nakita ko pauwi para hindi na ako magluluto pag uwi ko.

Maybe I should tell manong Ramon's wife to stay with us for the meantime para naman may maka asikaso sa kusina tuwing nagiging abala ako sa mga lakad ko. 

Eksaktong alas siyete ng gabi ng dumating ako ng bahay. Bukas ang ilaw sa buong paligid kaya sigurado akong nakauwi na si Vero at hindi ko na siya kailangang sunduin kila Viviene, pero sino ang kasama niya sa bahay? Dali dali akong pumasok ng kabahayan sa pag aakalang walang kasama ang anak ko ngunit bumungad sa akin ang nakatayong si Freya at sa harapan niya ang nakaluhod kong anak.

Agad uminit ang ulo ko at muntik ko ng makalimutan na babae ang kaharap ko.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER FREYA?!" Umalingawngaw ang sigaw ko sa buong sala. Nakita ko kung paano natigilan si Freya at unti unting lumingon paharap sa akin.

"H-helius, n-no it's not w-what you're t-thinking a-about."

"DADDDDY!" Tumayo si Veronica at umiiyak na lumapit sa akin. I lifted her using my two hands. She's still crying so I caressed her back to calm her. Nang mag pantay na ang paghinga niya ay saka ko siya inakyat sa aming kwarto. But before I take a step on the stairs, I look at Freya and told her to stay.

She needs to explain.

Fuck!

No one is allowed to hurt my daughter, halo halong emosyon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Nakikita ko sa luhaang mukha ni Veronica ang mukha ng nanay niya habang nakatingin din sa aking luhaan. It made my inner self crumbles.

I kissed Vero's forehead before I went downstairs.

I saw Freya comfortably sitting in the couch, the audacity to act normal like she didn't do something bad to my daughter.

I don't know why I'm feeling this but I'm starting to get irritated with Freya.

"Hey honey, I miss you!"

Akmang yayakap siya sa akin ng tabigin ko ang kamay niya. I saw pain in her eyes but I don't mind it.

"Explain." I said in a serious and plain tone.

"Uh-m, w-we're just u-uhm, p-playing. Y-yeah, we're p-playing." She said habang nagkautal utal. Hindi rin mapirmi ang paningin niya sa akin. Parang balisa siya sa kaniyang kinatatayuan.

Right!

You're lying, honey.

"SHE'S KNEELING IN FRONT OF YOU, FREYA! DON'T PUT SHIT ON ME, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT PLAYING!"

"H-helius... stop s-shouting! Our baby.." Nanginginig ang boses niyang sambit.

"Don't include our baby here Freya. Fucking tell me the damn truth. Why is my daughter kneeling in front of you?!" Sabi ko sa mediyong kalmado ngunit may diing boses.

"I-i'm your f-fiancee!"

Shit.

Fucking shit!

Shit that fucking fiancee!

"And she's my daughter!" I said in a cold voice while staring blankly at her. Is there a need to compare herself to my daughter?

I can't believe her!

In the past year that we're together, I never saw this side of her. She's always the lovely and caring Freya. But seeing her treating my daughter like that, tsk... I can't believe it!

"We're having a baby too, Helius! Hindi lang lahat ng oras at atensiyon mo ay nariyan sa anak ng disgrasyada mong asawa!"

"DON'T CURSE KREISHA IN FRONT OF MY FACE!" Hindi ko mapigilang sigaw ng marinig kong tinawag niyang disgrasyada si Kreisha. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit sinabi ko iyon, parang automaticong nag react ang sarili ko sa narinig kong panlalait niya kay Kreisha.

"HUH? NOW YOU'RE DEFENDING HER? WHAT NOW HELIUS? PAPATAWARIN MO NA BA ANG ASAWA MONG NILOKO KA AT GINAMIT KA LANG? BAKA NAKAKALIMUTAN MONG PINAGPALIT KA NIYA SA ISANG MATANDANG BOMBAY!" Her words hit me.

Right, she's still the slutty gold digger girl I know. Ang babaeng una pa lang, ginamit lang ako.

"Did I knock some senses to you, Helius?" She said after minutes of not talking.

"Shut up!"

She looked at me angrily, "did you forgot? I am your fiancee! Fiancee! Don't talk to me like that!"

"I know, and I expect you to respect my daughter too. Why did you do that to her? I thought you're doing your best to gain her trust but what did you do?" Her face looks pale now.

Gone the angry Freya.

"She, s-she broke my phone-e!" The heck? She did that to my daughter because of a fucking broken phone? Is she joking?

"Seriously? You can buy even hundreds of phone, Freya. You don't need to do that to her!"

"W-why are you angry to me, honey?" Her voice are soft now, she's going to cry. And seconds later, she's already crying while looking at me.

Fuck! Helius what have you done? You made her cry, shit!

Umiling iling siya at nanghihinang umupo sa couch.

Lalapitan ko na sana siya ng may magsalita sa likuran ko.

"What a nice scene! May popcorn ba diyan?"

Tumingin ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses at tumambad sa akin ang nakangising si Lolo.

He has this grin plastered on his face na parang may binabalak na masama.

"Lolo..."

"Yes, the one and only, apo."

Kumunot ang noo ko. I didn't heard him opened the door or I'm just too occupied to notice?

"What are you doing here?"

He grinned again.

"To spill some tea."
