Love Without Limit

Chapter 4

Gael's eyes turned dark and he harshly manuverd his car int he next lane when he heard his wife is still not home.

it has been three days since she decided to sleep in her parents house. no text, no calls hindi rin siya nag punta sa office ko upang bigyan ako ng lunch.

mahigpit kong hinawakan ang manibela at pinasibad ang kotsye sa mabilis na paraan.

While Cath was busy helping his mother baked. Napangiti siya ng makita ang apple pie na binake nila ng mommy niya.

nagulat silang pareho ng biglang bumukas ang double doors.

Kathryn went in with a little girl in her arms.

her indifferent eyes landed on mine. napaiwas ako ng tingin. Tristan his husband was behind them. Tumabi ako ng dumaan si Kath at hinalikan si mommy. She hugged mommy but mommy's eyes where on me full of concern.

I smiled at her a little to say I'm fine.

she's back! Great!

The little girl went down and went to her father. Tristan smiled at me, I smiled back.

we settled in the living room kinain namin ang binake namin ni mommy. i was silent the whole time they're chitchatting.

nahinto ang kanilang paguusap ng marinig ko ang pamilyar na tinig ng sasakyan. Minutes later Gael walk inside our house.

I already expected this but bever have I imagine the acid in my heart it was too much to bear.

His eyes landed to my twin sister. I pursed my lips and look away. I can't stand watching him stare at her with emotions he never let me feel.

Nagulat ako ng nagtungo siya sa akin at hinalikan ako sa noo.

"You never called me."he whispered.

Hindi ako umimik. Nag angat ako ng tingin. Napakagwapo niya sa kanya g suot na itim na long neck sweater it paired well with his fair skin.

"Do you want to eat apple pie? Mom and I baked it..."

Tumango siya. Tinalikuran ko sila at nagtungo sa kitchen.

kumuha ako ng plato at nag slice isang pirasi ng pie. Napatalon ako sa gulat ng biglang may pumasok sa kitchen.

It was Tristan. He chuckled at my reaction. Napatawa rin ako.

"Anong kaylangan mo?"

"Naubos na ang Juice kukuha sana ako."

"You should have let the maids do that."

"It's okay...I can do it."

he opend the wrong fridge so I stop him.

"The juice is in the other fridge..."

"Copy that..."saad nito at nagtungo sa kabilang fridge.

Tumikhim ako, I pursed my lips to stop talking but I cannot fathom it.

"How's Kathy by the way?"

"she's doing good...were doing good. "

"Is she still mad at me?"

nilingon niya ako.

"Yan ang hindi ko masasagot."

"Cath, what took you so long." said the familiar baritone voice.

Gael went in the kitchen his face turned dark. his jaw clenched. Nag tungo siya sa akin at pinulupot ang kamay sa aking bewang.

"Nothing..." I reason out.

tumaas ang kanyang kilay.

"Una na ako Cath."

Tumango ako at ngumiti sa kanya at nag laho sa aking paningin.

"We are going home."matigas na saad ni Gael.

"Can I sleep here one more nigh-"

"Hindi pa ba sapat ang pananatili mo dito?" pang puputol niya sa akin.

I moisten my lips and look away.

"Were going home now, Catalina..." he bury his face on my neck. "...Didn't you miss me, wife?"

bumuntong hininga nalang ako walang magawa.

bumalik kami sa loving room ng hindi ko tinignan si Kathy masyadong mabigat ang konsensyang dinadala ko.

"Trisha go to your Tita, Cath." nagulat ako ng sa unang beses nag salita si Kathy.

"Hello po, Tita."cute na saad nito.

nag tungo ang bata sa akin. I smiled at her at pina upo siya sa aking kandungan. I bite my lower lip and remembered the fetus inside my tummy. Uminit ang aking mata as I smiled at Trisha.

Kaya napa tagal ang stay ko kila mommy dahil sinamahan niya akong magpacheck sa aking obegyn.

I am five weeks pregnant. I need to be extre careful now. Kung owede nga lang dito na ako tumira kila mommy dito na ako mas safe kami ng anak ko.

The whole time I played with Trisha and talk to her.

Daddy was so delighted to see her granddaughter.

Pinagmasdan ko si Tristan na nilalagyan ng pagkain ang plato ni Kathy. Inggit ang bumalot sa aking puso. He keep on asking her her if she likes the food if it's too much or is't enough.

Nakaka inggit lang that is what I envision my marriage life could be. Never though I'd be this miserable.

umiwas ako ng tingin ng maramdaman ko ang titig ni Gael sa akin nilingon ko siya agad din umiwas at tinuon ang atensyon sa aking pagkain.

"Ilang buwan kayo rito Kathy?"

"Pag natapos na po ang project ni, Tristan dad, we'll fly back to new york."

Tumango si daddy.

"Ikaw, Cath hindi mo ba ipagpapatuloy ang pagiging designer abroad?” biglaang tanong ni daddy.

Umiling ako.

"Good, never leave your husband here. Always prioritize Family before work."

Dapat hindi niya yan sabihin sa akin kundi doon sa asawa ko.

Ever regret things in life? Cause I did.

I am very a romantic girl who wishes for fairytale happily ever after, true love, true love kiss but in reality those never happend destiny is too cruel for me. Guess this is what they called karma.
