My Twin Sister's Wife

Chapter 9 — Trouble

Rielle’s POV:

‘Ugh! Headache sucks!’ habang sapo ko ang noo ko sa sobrang tindi ng tama ng alak kagabi. I have never wasted all my life. Parang may kakaibang pinainom yung babaeng yun sa alak ko kagabi. Kakauwi ko lang nang madaling araw after may nangyari sa amin nung girl that I met sa bar. She’s too wild.

Nakaupo ako sa sofa and just looking up the ceiling nang tumunog ang cellphone ko.

“Rielle! Where have you been? Bigla ka kasing nawala kagabi!” sabi ng nasa kabilang linya. It was Nia. Kasama ko siya kagabi and it was her idea to go out somewhere to refresh my mind.

“A-ahm, u-uh…” I don’t know what to say. Magugulat ito pag sinabi ko sa kanya na nakipag one-night-stand ako. It’s not really like me to do that.

“I get it! So where did you make out?” she sounded suspicious.

“What are you talking about? Umuw- “ naputol ang sasabihin ko nang bigla siyang sumabat.

“Uh uh uh uh! No more talking! You are an adult and it’s normal! Stop acting like a moron! Let’s have some fun again, later tonight.” tuloy tuloy nitong litanya.

“Fine. I’ll call you later. I have to go!”

‘f**k! Late na ko sa meeting ko.’ I called my secretary to cancel my appointment today and move it by tomorrow. Talagang hindi ako aabot sa napag usapan naming oras. Dali-dali akong naligo at nag-ayos ng sarili para makapasok sa office. Kahit masakit ang ulo ko I still need to be there, marami pa kong aasikasuhing trabaho.

“Ma’am Rielle, here's your appointment after lunch po.” I was sitting on my chair and looking at the city through my window behind my desk when my secretary walked in. Humarap ako sa mesa para tingnan ang tab nito.

“Okay thank you Belle.” at tsaka muling humarap sa window.

‘She’s still not here.’ nang makita ko ang bakanteng upuan sa labas kung saan ang opisina ni Elix. ‘Hindi ba siya papasok?’ tanong ko sa isip ko.

It’s been too hard for me to deal with her. Mula nang makabalik ako rito, walang araw na parang gusto ko siyang iwasan. I don’t know but looking at her is like I’m turning back all the memories in my head. She’s not only like Lexa. She’s like Lexa when she talks, when she moves, her voice and her aura is so much like Lexa.

The day before the sad news revealed, ang buong akala ko ay si Lexa and kasama ko but I’m wrong. Ang hirap isiping iba na pala yung kasama ko. Nothing happened during those times until I came back. Nang may mangyari sa amin, I realized that her scent was different from my wife. I find it so addicting kaya todo iwas ako sa bawat gabi na madadatnan ko siya sa kama. I want to avoid her.

That night when something happened to us, I saw the blood on the sheet pagkagising ko pero wala na siya sa tabi ko. She’s a virgin. I was her first. I felt guilty. Pero nang tanungin ko siya she just acted like Lexa. Like it’s not really mean anything to her either.

I decided to avoid her because it’s too unfair for her. Ayokong isipin niyang I’m agreeing to this setup because I can see my wife on her behalf. Because of my wife’s request. How about her? She deserves to have a life too. Her sister is gone, she doesn’t need to live her life in her shadow. So I guess, doing flings to someone else will help her to move forward. I don’t get why she needs to do this and forget her life for her sister.

Elix is as gorgeous as my wife. Di ko iyon maikakaila. I’ve had my time with her sister and ayokong maging dahilan para ikulong ko siya sa mga bisig ko just because of my wife’s wish. I’m moving on, namimiss ko ang asawa ko everyday pero eventually I can start smiling when I’m reminiscing her memories, our memories together.

How would I push her to live her own path and just forget the past. I’m ok now. I know their idea of doing this dahil inaalala nila ako, maybe that was what Lexa told them. I’m not that weak. What’s wrong with them? I can handle my own pain. I can heal in time.

Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang bumukas ang pinto ng office at iniluwa ito si Elix. She was wearing a sleeveless blouse and a black skirt na may slit and it’s above the knee. Her stiletto is a criss cross style na lalong nagpakita ng kaputian nito. Her hair has changed its color shaded with dark and shiny blue. She’s also wearing shades. Inilapag nito ang bag nito sa mesa niya at maging ang blazer na hawak nito sa isa nitong kamay at ipinatong naman iyon sa sandalan ng upuan niya, tsaka napadako ang tingin nito sa office ko. She’s still not sitting kaya nakatayo pa ito sa gilid ng desk nito when she stared at me. Nakaharap ito sa office ko.

While I’m staring at her legs pataas, I saw her cleavage na halata dahil sa damit nito. May hati kasi ito sa gitna, style para maipakita ang hubog ng katawan ng magsusuot nito. And it fits her perfectly. When I look up tsaka nagtama ang mga paningin namin. Sobrang titig nito sa akin at napansin kong nakatanggal na ang shade nito na hawak ng isa niyang kamay. Malamig ang titig nito sa akin at tsaka ako inirapan. Pagkatapos noon ay umupo ito sa upan niya.

‘Damn. She’s too sexy sa suot niya!’ Bakit parang bawat galaw nito ay parang nagi-slowmo ang dating sa akin. She’s now sitting crossing her legs. Kung madedescribe ko ang sarili ko ay para na akong pervert na pinagpapantasyahan siya. I licked my lower lip with my tongue at minsan ko pa siyang tinitigan ng sobrang lagkit. I can’t think straight, waring tatayo sana ako para lumabas nang bigla na namang bumukas ang pinto ng opisina at sumambulat ang isang babae sa pagpasok.

I was surprised when the woman looked at my office at dali dali itong pumasok doon. Nakita ko pa ang secretary ko at isang guard para pigilan ang babae pero nakapasok na ito sa office ko.

Nakatayo na ako noon dahil sa gulat nang bigla itong yumapos sa leeg ko.

“R-rielle, why aren’t you answering all my calls?” naka pout pa nitong tanong sa akin.

Sa pagkagulat ko napatingin ako sa dako ni Elix na ngayon ay sobrang lamig ng mga titig at napalipat ulit sa dako ng babaeng kaharap ko ngayon.

“W-what the hell are you doing here?” galit kong tono. At tinanggal ko ang pagkaka yapos nito sa leeg ko.

“To see you. I miss you na kasi bigla kang nawala sa tabi ko paggising ko eh. Why’d you leave without saying a word?” may hinanakit nito sabi.

“Get out.” I said. Gusto kong lamunin nalang ako ng lupa dahil sa babaeng ito.

“B-but when can we see each other again?” lapit nitong muli sa akin. Hinawakan nito ang kamay ko pero iniwasan ko iyon.

“I said get out.” I can’t keep my cool any longer. “Don’t wait for me to ask my guards to pull you out Miss. Please do as I say while I'm still able to ask politely.” I don’t remember her name.

Pagkasabi ko noon ay tumalim ang titig nito sa akin at tsaka padabog na umalis.
