Arrange To You (Tagalog)

"Hmm?" sunod naman niyang tinanggal ang footsocks ko at nilagay ang mga yun sa hamper.

"I heard you talking with Clayton awhile ago. Are you hiding something from me?" pinikit ko ang mga mata ko at dinama ang kalambutan ng kama. I'm sleepy, but not too sleepy to not hear his answer. Tumihaya ako at binalot ang sarili ng comforter.

"I'll deal with it tomorrow. For now, sleep and have some rest." I drowsily nodded. But before diving into a deep slumber, I felt him planting a kiss on my forehead.

MY HEAD FREAKING HURTS. Hawak-hawak ang ulong pumasok ako sa bathroom at naligo. I stinked!

Pagkatapos maligo ay kaagad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko. Kumunot ang noo ko nang makatanggap ng message galing kay Manang. It's unusual for her to message me.

Instead of replying, I immediately dialed her number and called her. Kaagad bumungad akin ang nag-aalalang boses ni Manang.

"Ay jusko! Mabuti at sumagot ka anak! May sasabihin akong importante sa'yo." Nakuha ang buo kong atensyon sa sinabi ni Manang.

"Ano 'yun, Manang?" nagsisimula na rin akong kabahan sa magiging sagot niya.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Narinig kong may kausap sa telepono si Roseanna at ipapatransfer niya ang milyon-milyong pera na galing sa kompanya niyo bago siya lumabas ng bansa. Masama na talaga ang kutob ko sa babaeng iyon!" I gritted my teeth in anger. That bitch!

Ang kapal ng mukha niyang nakawin ang hindi sa kanya. Humugot ako ng hininga at nagsalita.

"Calm down, manang. Nasaan na sila ni daddy ngayon?"

"Nasa business trip pa sila ng daddy mo, Celestia. Ako'y kinakabahan at baka kung ano pa ang gagawin niya sa susunod."

The audacity of that woman!

"Wait for me. I'll be going home, today," aniya ko at tinapos na ang tawag.

I didn't waste any second and immediately packed the things that I needed. I didn't even bother to bring my clothes and other things. Tuloy-tuloy ang paglabas ko ng bahay, not even minding if Wayde is around or not. I contacted Diego and asked him if he could drive me straight to our house.

"Sigurado po kayo diyan, ma'am? Hindi po muna kayo magpapaalam kay Boss Wayde?"

"I know he'll understand. May emergency lang talagang nangyari sa bahay."

Hindi na umangal pa si Diego at sumakay na sa sasakyan. I also hopped in and texted Manang Glenda. It would take me hours to go back home pero bahala na basta makabalik lang ako. I was preoccupied the whole time. Nang makarating kami sa bahay ay kaagad akong tumungo kay Manang Glenda. I hugged her tightly.

"Ay jusko kang bata ka! Miss na miss kana namin rito sa bahay!"

"I miss you too, manang." Nang humiwalay ako sa kanya ay nginitian ko siya. It's been awhile and I'm really home.

"Where are they?" tanong ko nang walang makitang bakas nila daddy at Roseanna sa bahay.

"Nagmamadali silang umalis, nak. Ang sabi ng daddy mo ay may business trip daw silang pupuntahan ngayon." That seems suspicious. Why are they in a rush anyway? Kaagad akong tumango at umupo.

I massaged the bridge of my nose and leaned my back on the sofa. I need to contact my dad. Baka ano pang sabihin ni Roseanna sa kanya. I don't trust that woman after all. I remained quiet for a couple of minutes when we heard someone ring the doorbell.

"Celestia, anak, may bisita kaba ngayon?" kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Manang. I'm not expecting a visitor today nor someone I know.

"Wala, manang. Paki-tanong nalang po kung sino siya."

Tumango siya at dali-daling binuksan ang pintuan. Napa-angat ako ng tingin nang lumapit sa akin si Manang na humahangos. Kaagad akong na-alerto at dinaluhan siya.

"Are you okay, nay? Bakit tumatakbo kayo? Is it Roseanna?" humahangos na umiling siya kaya pina-upo ko muna siya sa sofa.

"Yung..." tinuro niya ang pintuan kaya napalingon ako 'run.

"Sino ang tinutukoy mo, nay?"

"Y-yung asawa mo... nandiyan siya sa labas." My eyes widened.

"What?!" gulat na gulat kong tanong. But before I could turn back and hid myself. A man in his sleeve and necktie entered the house. "Nice to meet you... wife." He loosens his tie and meets my gaze.

Napa-atras ako ng isang beses at napakurap.

"N-no..." I shook my head in disbelief.

It can't be...

"What are you doing here?" rage is visible in my voice. I glared at him sharply. His face became serious too when he saw my reaction. "Let's talk."

Pagak akong natawa, "What do we need to talked about? I trusted you, Wayde! I fucking did!" Hindi ko na mapigilan ang pagtaas ng boses ko dahil sa nag-aalab na galit.

"Calm down, Celestia. Let's not cause a scene here." He take a step closer and walked near me but I stepped back.

"You knew how I hated to be married to someone, Wayde. I trusted you!" I said. Not shifting the topic.

Wayde deeply sighed and fixed the sleeves. Tumalikod ako at dumeritso sa kwarto ko. I don't care if I appear rude to everyone. I slammed the door hard and let my body slip off the wall until I could feel the cold tiles. I buried my head between my knees and let out my frustration. Now everything is tormenting me. I'm frustrated with the fact that I'm married against my will, yet frustrated also because of him hiding it from me.

Maraming pagkakataon. Maraming oras na maglaan siya ng oras para sabihin sa akin. Now, I don't know if I would continue to believe him. Especially if... my heart is becoming a traitor of my own mind.

I shouldn't hold back these feelings inside, but It's so chaotic that I don't know where to even start.

"Celestia. Open this door." It wasn't a request but a command from him

Hindi ko siya pinakinggan at pumunta sa kama. Isinubsob ko ang sarili roon at nagmukmok. I'm starting to doubt now about the decisions that I made for the last months. Am I the one who's at fault here? I squeeze my eyes shut and let everything sinks in.

Roseanna's plan to steal from our company.

The feelings that I have with Wayde.

Wayde's actually my husband.

And my dad's security.

"I will come in, Celestia." I heard keys clinging outside, must be one of our maids giving the key to Wayde.

It didn't took minutes for him to not open the door. When I met his gaze, I looked away and distance myself from him. Nakita ko ang gulat sa mukha niya pero kapagkuwan ay napalitan iyon ng pagkaseryoso. "Explained." I said coldly.

"I'm your husband. We are married, but there's more to it that you should know, Celestia."
