My First Romance 1 (Jacob Sullivan story)

Chapter 19

JACOB

As I watched her sleep, many things came to my mind. At first I really planned to retaliate against her, but when I saw her again, I changed my plan. I thought I had no love for her anymore. Akala ko lang pala. Mom called me and told me that grandpa is talking a bit already, I need to talk to grandpa if he has anything to do with what happened with Natalie and me why she left me. I loved natalie so much, that's why I planned to marry her right away, so she wouldn't be out of my sight. I know grandpa doesn't like Natalie, but I don't care. I can fight her against anyone, even my own family. They don't know what I can do for my wife.

Every time I have a business trip both inside and outside the country. I know grandpa planned that to keep me away from Natalie. Sa totoo lang nagagalit na ako, kilala ko si lolo. I know where everything he is secretly doing for me and natalie is going, but I won't allow it.

I just let him because I thought grandpa would stop pag nagsawa na sa panggugulo sa buhay ko. One of my bodyguards watch Natalie so I would know what grandpa was doing to her. Nong kinausap siya ni lolo, nasa palawan ako para sa business meeting 3 days dapat yun pero sa ginawa ni lolo, minadali ko ang lahat, I confessed that I love her. The next day I proposed to her, I rushed everything pinakasalan ko agad pagbalik ko.

What I didn't prepare for was that he would blackmail me. But he can't make me follow what he wants no matter what. I have no idea that natalie is cheating on me. I rushed home to see my wife but she left me.

Pero nong nakita ko sa restaurant ni Benedick. All my plans have not been followed. Benedick called me and said Natalie was at his restaurant so, I was there, when I arrived she was going to the toilet so I let her in. I followed her. In my anger towards her I choked her, I saw her reaction so I realized I scared her.

Ang gago ko.

While natalie was on stage modeling her creation. I am happy that she fulfilled her dreams. I don't know much about what happened in her life. Even though we are far apart, we are still married. Too bad we don't have children.

While Natalie was sleeping, I went to my office room. I got some wine and drank it. I think about what my plan is. Right now I want to talk to grandpa first. I'm leaving the Philippines, I'm going to Italy to talk to grandpa. While I was thinking, someone knocked on the door and opened it. Kumunot ang noo ko. When I saw Natalie, my frown suddenly disappeared. I stare at her, I observe her every move, even her face I never take my eyes off her. I proved to myself that I never lost my love for this girl. I love her to death.

"Jacob." tawag ni natalie. Nakatitig parin ako sa kanya.

"Yes." ngisi ko.

"Uuwi na ako." sabi niya na kinabahala ko. Hindi siya pwedeng umuwi.

"No." matigas kong sabi. I can see the shock on her face. Inirapan ako, I was secretly happy with what she did, it was like I suddenly saw in front of me the former Natalie that I had loved before. Namaywang siya sa harapan ko at tinaasan ako nang kilay.

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo, basta ako uuwi na."Tumalikod siya bigla sa akin at palabas na siya sa pintuan.

"Let's talk Natalie." sabi ko. Nilingon ako.

"At anong pag uusap natin ha?" gigil niyang sabi sa akin.

"We need to talk about us." i said. Nakuha ko ang attention niya at lumapit sa akin.

"Yes, by the way Mr. Sullivan before I forget we have something important to talk about. First is our annulment papers. Let's get it annulled so we can both get out of that marriage. I don't know what you are accusing me of cheating on you. I am confused by what you are accusing me oh, my god! It was you who left me and you and Celine were together in Italy! Leave me alone! let's fix our annulment as soon as possible because I left my job in France. I can't stay here long. Naghihintay sa akin ang an—." napatakip siya nang bibig. "OMG!" dagdag wika niya.

Hinayaan ko lang syang magsalit. Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.

"What? Can you listen to me please? I just want to clarify my side so we can understand each other." pakiusap ko.

Tinitigan ako at bigla siyang ngumuso. Napangisi ako sa kanyang ginawa. Umupo siya sa sofa, sumunod ako.

"I don't know if you will believe me or not. But after we got married, grandpa called me to fix something at the company in Italy. I can't call because we are very busy at the site.Grandpa and I had a fight in Italy, because he was forcing what he wanted on me. I didn't agree because I love my wife very much, I love you very much. I fought for what we have because I love you that much. Grandpa had a stroke the next day. I just waited for mom to come and I immediately went home to the Philippines to see you. But it turns out that my wife left me, whom I fought for."paliwanag ko. Kita ko sa mukha niya. Nguguluhan sya. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya, nanginginig siya.

"I called you but celine answered. Paano mo ipapaliwanag yun ha?" inirapan ako, naiinis na naman sa akin.

"Baby, When I woke up at the hotel where I was staying, Celine was on the sofa, I saw her holding my cellphone, I just grabbed my cellphone from her and leave."sabi ko na titig na titig sa kanya.

"Gusto ko munang makapag isip jacob. Iuwi muna ako sa lumang bahay namin please." pakiusap niya. Huminga akong malalim at tumango. I'll let her think first. For now I'll take it slow, because we started quickly. Now I will start from the beginning again. I will court her. Now I have to earn the trust of my dear wife first. Hinatid ko siya sa dating bahay nila. There is a caretaker so it is clean. When we entered the house, there was already cooked food, pork adobo at kanin. Ang sarap.

"Kain ka muna bago ka umalis." nakatingin lang ako sa kanya. My wife is beautiful, she used to drive me crazy before, especially now he will drive me crazy again....
