His Wife Tears

Chapter 13

Hindi na siya nag-aksaya ng oras at nagmadali siyang sumakay ng elevator. Pinaalis na rin niya si Evan para wala ng gulo. Hinihingal siyang pumasok sa office nito. She took fifteen minutes to go to his office.

Gavin was leaning in front of his desk while holding a wine glass while drinking it. Seryoso nitong pinagmamasdan ang wine na nasa goblet. He glanced at her grimly. His eyes were furious but she held his gaze.

“You’re late.” He drawled.

“Sorry, I just bid goodbye to Evan.” She lied. She wanted to slap on his face that she’s moving on and the rest of her life was not only about him anymore. Gavin gripped the goblet that caused a crack on it.

“You look good together.” Nakangisi ito pero matalim na tingin ang binibigay sa kanya. “Useless plus useless is equal utterly useless. Perfect.” He smirked.

She swallowed deeply before she sarcastically smiled. Useless pala ha!

“The things will be useless if you don’t know how to handle with it and if you don’t know what that things for.” She said nonchalantly. Tinitigan lang siya nito at hindi nagtangkang umimik. “Maybe, hindi mo lang talaga alam kung para saan ang bagay na `yon kaya mo binalewala at hindi mo binigyang halaga.”

Ilang minutong katahimikan ang namutawi sa kanila nang mapagdesisyonan na niyang umalis. She turned around and she was about to leave pero natigilan siya nang marinig niya nag pagkabasag ng isang bagay.

She looked at Gavin. The goblet was broke into pieces. Gavin’s eyes were blazing with anger while it settled on her. She saw blood escaping from Gavin’s hand.

“Put the pieces of the broken glass without using any kind of cleaner tool.” A devious smirked crept into his lips.

Nasisiraan na ba ito? Bakit niya gagawin `yon kung alam naman niyang masusugatan lang siya?

“I’m not that fool, Gavin. Why would I do that if in the first place it will just hurt m—”

“Then, why did you still choose to love me if in the first place, you already know that it will just cause you pain?”

Her jaw literally dropped. Umiwas siya ng tingin at hindi siya nakasagot dito. Sapol iyon sa kanya. Her heart started to beat fast.

A loud gasped escaped from her lips. “The two situations are differen—”

He cuts her off. Seryoso itong nakatingin sa kanya at wala man lang emosyon sa mga mata. “It’s the same. Bakit pinipilit mo akong hawakan kung alam mong masasaktan ka lang?”

May kung anong kirot sa puso niya. He’s right. He’s damn right!

Tears were escaping from her eyes but she blinked it away.

“You’re right. I choose to hold you even if it just causes me pain.” She looked at him straight to his eyes. “But I’m starting to heal the wounds that you left here.” Tinuro niya ang kaliwang dibdib.

Nakipagtitigan lang siya dito na para bang hindi siya naaapektuhan sa mga tingin nito. May kung anong kirot parin sa dibdib niya pero hindi niya ito ininda. This time, she will do what she promised to herself. She really wants to move on that badly.

She looked again to Gavin’s hand that full of blood now. Sira na nga talaga ang ulo ng asawa niya. Sino ba namang matino ang makakagawa na durugin ang goblet sa kamay nito?

Gavin sarcastically giggled. “Really? I hope it will heal fast.” Pang-asar itong tumingin sa kanya. “Masyado yatang malalim ang sugat na nadulot ko.” He haughtily said.

“At sisiguraduhin kong wala ng kahit na anong marka ng sakit na makikita rito.” Nginitian niya ito ng sarkastiko. Inirapan niya muna ito bago tuluyang umalis sa nakakasal na office na iyon.

She gasped the moment she went out there. Inayos niya ang kanyang sarili at bumalik sa department nila na parang walang nangyari.
