AZRIEL'S OBSESSION (Completed)

Chapter 6

Secretary

Nakatulog na ako sa sasakyan nya nang pauwi kami. He carried all the paper bags and he also bought me donuts for later. Paggising ko ay nasa kwarto na ako at nagulat ako nang iba na ang suot ko.

I looked at the clock and it says 5 pm. Naka-puting tshirt lang ako at kay Azriel pa ito kaya malaki sa akin. Did we do something a while ago?! Nakashorts na lang din ako. I got up and looked for him.

"Where's Azriel?" Tanong ko sa napadaang maid habang kinukusot ang mata.

"Nasa library po, ma'am," she politely answered. I nodded and went back to the room and entered bathroom para maghilamos. Nagmumog ako at lumabas na para pumuntang library.

There's a small library here in his mansion. Hindi na ako kumatok at naabutan ko syang nakatutok muli sa laptop. He's wearing his specs again.

He eventually noticed me. Ibinaling nya sa akin ang buong atensyon at naghintay na lumapit ako. I didn't go to him, though. Sa veranda ako dumiretso at nakita kong madilim na. Kaunti na lang ang nasisilayan kong araw at kulay kahel na ito.

"Seleira," he called with a low tired voice. Nilingon ko sya at sumenyas syang lumapit ako. Dahan dahan akong lumapit sa kanya. Masuyo nya akong hinila at pinaupo sa kandungan nya.

"A-are you tired? Kanina pa ba ako tulog? Paanong napalitan ang damit ko?" I asked him.

"A bit. Yes. I did," he answered and kissed my cheek for seconds.

"You did!" Gulat kong pag-uulit.

"Yeah. What's wrong?" He asked like it's not a big deal to him.

"Anong ginawa mo sa a-akin?" Tanong ko. He chuckled and kissed me again on my cheek.

"Nothing. I won't do anything on your unconcious beautiful body, wife."

Tinanggal ko ang specs nya at dahan dahang ibinaba yun sa table. He gave a one soft kiss on the lips.

"Are you ready to bear my child?" He asked, naglalambing. Siniksik nya ang mukha sa aking leeg.

Biglang bumilis naman ang tibok ng puso ko. I'm obviously not ready for him. Or for a baby...

"I-I'm still young, Azriel. M-marami pang pwedeng mangyare," alangan kong sagot. Kumunot ang noo nya at tila na-offend sa kung ano man. Hinarap nya rin ako.

"What do you mean? Ano pa bang pwedeng mangyari ngayong asawa na kita?" He asked, medyo tumaas ang boses sa inis.

"H-hindi pa ako handa," I said.

"Tss. I know," he said lifelessly. I watched how his emotions suddenly feel empty.

"You're not yet ready for me either," he added. I looked down. That's true.

We ate dinner together silently. Hindi naman talaga sya palasalita. Hindi rin ako. Matapos ang mahabang dinner ay nagpaalam syang magsshower.

"Ako rin," sagot ko, paakyat ng hadgan.

"What 'ako rin?' You want us to shower together?" Naguguluhan nyang tanong. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko at agad na umiling. What is he thinking!

"H-hindi noh! Sabi ko maliligo rin ako,"

"Tss. Fine. I'll use the bathroom downstairs," he said.

At iyon nga ang nangyari. I went inside the bathroom of our room, carrying the products he bought for me earlier. Pabalik balik pa ako dahil mabigat at marami.

Our bathroom is wide. Malaki rin ang bathtub kaya kung minsan ay nanjan kami namamahinga pareho matapos namin magtalik. Iniling ko ang ulo ko at iniwala sa isip iyon. Malaki ang banyo namin at ang left side ay mga products nya, mga panlalaki. Men's shaving cream, shampoo, body wash at soaps. Actually, kaunti lang ang mga gamit nya.
