CHAPTER 13
ALAM kong mali ang nangyari sa aming dalawa ni Nicholas. I regretted everything when I woke up. How so silly of me to just accept and be giddy last night? I frustratedly slightly slap my face. Gusto kong kastiguhin ang sarili ko kahit tapos ko nang nagawa ang bagay na iyon.
My God! He has a wife!
Paanong hindi ko naisip iyon? I groaned more in the hope that I will find peace while still staring at my reflection in the mirror in my bathroom. Ang tanga tanga ko! I'm so easy to get!
Nicholas was still asleep. Mas lalo akong naaawa at nahihiya sa sarili ko, I've never been this so humiliated. I've always known that I can't never be this woman but I just can't resist Nicholas. Siguro totoo nga ang sinabi ni Blaise, mahina ako. It just that I feel like last night also happened before like a deja vu.
If I just don't lost my memories, maybe..Maybe I'll be able to walk freely in the outside world. Naiiyak kong binuksan ang faucet at hinayaang umagos ang tubig doon. I felt like a zombie, I hate this kind of situation. Alam kong darating ang ganitong pagkakataon pero hindi ko inisip na ganito kasakit.
May kumatok sa pinto kaya napatigil ako sa pagkuha ng sabon. I felt a slight pain on my heart, but a fast beating of it follow afterwards.
"Elizabeth?" Tawag sa akin ni Nicholas mula sa labas.
I stilled for a moment. I don't know what to do, I felt so rooted at my place.
I heard a loud sigh from him.
"Sweetheart?" Malumanay niyang tawag ulit sa akin.
I hitched my breath. "Are you okay in there?"
Nakatitig lang ako sa pinto at walang balak magsait. A loud knock echoed again all over the bathroom.
"Eli?!" He called me again with a desperation in his voice.
Wala sa sariling lumapit ako sa pinto at binuksan iyon. Halos matisod ako ng makita siyang nanghihintay doon. I inhaled my own breath. Mabilis ko siyang nilagpasan at tinungo ang walk in closet. I almost tremble at the sight of his dark green eyes staring at me directly. His presence were too much to bare. Nag-iinit pati ang likod ko dahil sa titig niya.
Agad niya akong hinawakan sa siko na ikinagulat ko.
"Why are you acting like this?" Malamig niyang saad.
Mas lalong tumibok ng mabilis ang puso ko. Napapaso akong nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya. Nahihiya ako! i am so ashamed! Can't he see it?
I then adjusted my body to face his.
"Pwede bang kalimutan na lang natin ang nangyari?" I asked, still nervous.
Kumunot ang noo niya. His jaw clenched real hard. Hindi maipinta iyon at mas lalong naging galit ang ekspresiyon. Naramdaman kong humigpit ang hawak niya sa akin. He then posessively wrapped his arms on my waist making me whimpered.
"Bakit? I thought you love it last night? Did I hurt you?"
I bite my lips. What the heck? It was just a s*x! I wanted to shout it to him.
"It was one of my memorable moment of my life, the important one. Hindi ko kakalimutan ang nangyari sa atin at ganun ka rin." Utos iyon.
I was shocked at his very firmed statement.
"N-nicholas.." I said breathless.
How can he easily tame me like this?
"Hindi ko naisip na mangyayari pa ito. I've always dreamed of this, you, in my side. I even willing to kneel and beg just I could see you again. I've been miserable without you." His breath brushed over my cheeks as he kissed me in there. "I'm trading my soul now, if it means having you near me again. Huwag mo sanang kunin ang pag-asang iyon." Nahihirapan niyang saad.
"Please tie me to you..."
I gazed at him unbelievably. What? Hindi ko siya maintindihan.
"P--pero mali ito? How can I tie you with me if you're already tied with someone else?"
Umangat ang tingin sa akin. Tumaas ang kamay niya para haplosin ang pisngi ko habang ang isa niyang kamay ay nakahawak pa rin sa beywang ko.
"Trust me.. it's way more than wrong." He surely said while staring at me lovingly. Lovingly? But why!
Tinitigan ko siya pero hindi ko kinaya.
"This is all wrong. Hindi mo ba nakikita ang pagkakamali dito? You just cheated on your wife? I can't picture out myself being a mistress." Napapikit ako ng mariin.
"I can't believe I did that." Wala sa sarili kong saad.
Kahit anong gawin kong paagpapaalala sa sarili ko, mali ang lahat ng iyon. Marahas akong bumitiw sa kanya. Hinayaan niya ako. Sinundan niya ako patungo sa walk in closet. Kabado pa rin ako at kapag hindi siya titigil sa topic na ito, mapipilitan lang akong magtanong. Naguguluhan pa ako at maraming katanungan sa isip ko. Mabuti nalang bihis na siya kundi baka ma-distract na naman ako ulit. Hindi ko pa naman pinagkakatiwalaan ang sarili ko pagnandiyan siya sa tabi ko.
I'm always nervous and conscious.
"Hindi ito pagkakamali, Eli. Iyan ang huwag mong sasabihin sa akin." I stopped from what I'm doing.
"Talaga namang mali ito." Mahina kong saad pero rinig niya pa rin.
What is he insinuating by the way?
Mas lalong nagdilim ang mukha niya. He licked his lips while still staring at me darkly.
"You are mine, Elizabeth. Alin ba sa parteng iyon ang hindi mo maintindihan?" He growled coldly at me.
Unti unti ay lumapit siya sa akin. Mas lalo akong kinabahan. Salubong ang kilay niya na parang hindi gusto ang mga sinasabi ko.
"You can't get away from me."
Namilog ang mata ko. With just a snap, he lifted my body in the table in there and possessively position his body between my parted legs.
"What the---." Hindi ko matapos tapos ang sinabi dahil inangat niya na ang mukha ko. I stilled when I saw how cold his eyes is.
"You are not my mistress. You are more than that lowly title. You are my everything." He gently said.
You are my everything, wife. A whispered came to my mind.
Parang sirang plaka iyong paulit ulit sa sarili. I felt the deja vu feeling again.
"Sino nga ba talaga ako sa buhay mo?" I asked eagerly.
Natauhan siya. He loosen his grip on me.
"Answer me this time, Nicholas! I demand you to give me a piece of mind." Nanginginig ang boses ko dahil sa takot at pangamba.
I felt so full, I felt like I wanted to burst something.
His smiles fade. I heard him cursed himself. I arched my brows.
"Cut the cursing already. Kahapon pa nagpapanting ang tenga ko diyan." Hindi ko natiis na sabihin.
Startled laughter escaped him, inspiring another groan.
"You are who really you are even without memories." Cradling me to his chest, he slightly chuckle. He was certain he hadn't taken enough some senses from me, but it had clearly left me weak.
"H---ha?"
He eyed me sharply. Iniiwas ko ang tingin sa kanya. I wanted to know some truth and I can't have it if he chooses to be playful now.
"You know what? Kung hindi mo ako kayang bigyan ng ekplanasiyon, makakaalis ka na." Mariing kong saad.
Nawala ang kanyang mapaglarong ngiti, bumalik ito sa pagiging seryoso.
"I'm telling the truth." Aniya.
I sighed heavily. "What truth?"
"You are all to me."
Mas lalong tumibok ng mabilis ang puso ko. Should I hold on to that? Hindi naman iyon ang ini-expect ko.
"Tatawagan ko nalang si Russel." I said and was about to shrug his hands off me. But he didn't let me. I could feel his desire, his possessiveness in the way that he stares at me
"Don't you dare call that man. Nandito ako, bakit siya ang hiahanap mo?" I felt the hint of jealousy in his voice.
"W-what? Anong pinagsasabi mo? You are not telling me something, then I'll talk to my cousin instead."
He smirked at me.
"Cousin, my ass. Hindi ganon ang turing sa iyo ng gagong iyon." I gasped at his word.
Masiyado siyang malapit at isa pa iyon.
"I always get crazy possessive every time I see someone might steal you from me."
"No one is stealing me away from you." I paused. Namilog ang mata ko sa sinabi. "I mean, no one is stealing me away from my own self."
Hindi siya natinag.
He groaned. "What a pretty naive woman.." He murmured.
"What?"
Umiling siya. "Nothing."
"Alam mo, umalis ka na diyan. I'll call him now." Seryosong saad ko. Hindi siya umalis at mas lalo pang iniharang ang sarili sa akin.
"I said no!"
"Hindi ikaw ang magdesisiyon para sa akin, Nicholas." Nagugulat kong saad. He is so stubborn!
He groaned again. Anong problema niya?
"Then I am declaring my own rights to you."
Mas lalo akong nagulat.
"No!"
"Yes."
Nagagalit na ako.
"Why?!"
He looks so angry.
"Because you are my wife, damn it!" Malutong niyang saad na ikinagulat ko.
