Kabanata 32:
Asawa

I immediately closed the tab when I read that email. I turn it into an ignored message. Pinatay ko ang screen ng desktop. Mabilis na nag-iba ang mood ko dahil sa nabasa na iyon. Why would he send me an email like that? Pagkatapos ng ilang taon na pag-iwas ko sa kanila at ngayon ay gusto nila kaming pabalikin?

He didn't even say anything when I changed my last name. Para bang sang-ayon na rin si Lolo noon. I think he's completely brain wash by Tita Ariela's and Arianne's words. Pinikit ko ang mga mata at pilit kinalimutan iyon. Wala na akong iba lang dahilan para bumalik pa sa kanila.

I get the glass of water to drink it. Nabasag lang ang katahimikan sa opisina at malalim kong pag-iisip nang mapaigtad ako sa patili na pagpasok ni Molly sa office.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" pahisterya niyang tili at paulit-ulit. Like she can't believe what happened. I already knew what is the reason why she's acting like this. Huminga ako ng malalim, pero hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti.

Hinampas niya ang desk ko at agad na tinapon ang tingin sa bouquet na nasa kandungan ko.

"What was that huh?! Hyacinth you won't never get out of this again! My hunch is right that you two have something! Wait!" nanlaki ang mata niya na para bang may mapagtanto.

"Is he your ex that you can't get over with?!" mas malakas ang tinig niya ngayon. Hindi naman agad ako makasagot roon. I just nodded and her scream was heard across dimensions. Sinuway ko siya dahil baka marinig pa siya ng mga seniors na nasa sunod lang na palapag.

Matanggal pa kami sa trabaho bigla!

"So this is a comeback?"

"What?"

"You're getting back together! Damn, I can't believe this! I knew it! The first time Lucian look at you there's really something! Like a spark! I think he just accept the seniors proposal just to get here to see you!" aniya at namilog ang mga mata ko. Walang pag-aalinlangan niya iyong pinakawalan sa labi.

"Lower down your voice! The Head might heard you." bigla niya namang natutop ang bibig. Napasinghap sa akin at humalakhak na lang ako roon. Tinaliman niya ako ng tingin. Mabilis siyang nakabawi. She wiggled her brow to me. Umirap ako dahil alam ko ang ibigsabihin noon.

"I knew I pass out last night but I'm still in a right mind when I saw you kissing him in the dance floor!" now it's my turn to widen my eyes. Siya ang humagalpak sa tawa ng makita ang reaksiyon ko. Nag-init ang pisngi ko.

"Damn you!"

"I even saw how his tongue---" I screw my eyes shut. Binato ko siya ng tissue na tinawanan niya lang.

"Pinapasakit mo talaga ang ulo ko!"

"So what now? Are you two dating?" hindi agad ako nakasagot roon. I can't speak because I'm a bit embarrassed to answer it. Parang kapag sinagot ko iyon ay lagi siyang manunuya sa akin.

"What Hyacinth?" pangungulit niya.

"No, he's courting me." he look bewildered on my answer. Her mouth even formed into O. Siguradong namumula na ang buong mukha ko ngayon.

"For real?!" she ask in disbelief.

"Y-Yeah." nahihiya kong sagot. Tumili muli siya at hindi ko na napigilan.

"I want to have a boyfriend too!" she groaned and I arch a brow at her.

"Don't you have one already?" he throw me a sharp glare.

"No! I'll get one tonight! I will be left alone if you get yourself a boyfriend." kumunot ang noo ko roon.

"As if I would forget you if I have a relationship Molly. That would never happened. Nothing will changed between us. So don't think that I'm leaving you." ngumuso siya roon at umikot sa lamesa ko para yakapin ako.
