Chapter 2

Alam ni Felicity na marami ng naibigay si Marco sa kanya, hindi na siya dapat humingi pa ng sobra o maging greedy ngunit naisip niya rin na buntis siya sa anak ni Marco. Kailangan niyang isipin ang ganoong bagay para sa kanyang anak. 

"Felicity, you're going to quarrel with me now, aren't you?"

Marco's expression darkened even more. He stood high above the bed and looked at the girl on the bed.

Ngunit ayaw ipaliwanag ni Marco kay Felicity kung bakit niya papakasalan ang babaeng kausap niya kanina.

Felicity didn't want to make Marco angry. She was just upset. She tried her best to restrain her temper, and said aggrievedly,

"I just want to know, Marco, do you love me? If I give birth to this child, can you not associate with other women?"

She was giving him a chance.Marco pursed his thin lips tightly, feeling cold all over his body.

But he still said without hesitation, "If you want to divorce, it doesn't matter now. You can rest assured that I will give you nothing less when you divorce."

Pagkatapos marinig ni Felicity ang mga salitang iyon galing kay Marco, hindi na niya napigilan ang kanyang pag-iyak.

She had a severe colic in her heart, and she finally couldn't help crying in despair while lying on the bed.

Marco frowned and looked at her, feeling pity in his heart.

He sat on the bed and raised his hand to pull her, "Felicity..."

Felicity shook off his hand, not wanting him to touch her.

Knowing that she needed time to calm down, Marco ignored her and said, "Rest early."

At sa gabing iyon, hindi makatulog si Felicity.

...

Kinabukasan, nagising siya na maga ang mga mata at nanlalanta kung gumalaw. Umupo siya sa diningtable, pinipilit ang sarili na kumain kahit na hindi niya ramdam ang gutom. Saktong pag-upo niya, mas lalo siyang nakaramdam ng lungkot dahil hindi niya nakita si Marco sa kabilang upuan niya. 

She was disappointed and asked Aling Marta who was arranging meals next to him, "Did he not come back after going out last night?"

Naglagay ng gatas si Aling Marta sa baso ni Felicity at bumuntonghininga. “Yes, Miss. Hindi siya bumalik simula nang umalis siya kagabi. Nag-away ba kayo ng asawa mo kagabi?”

Hindi sinagot ni Felicity ang tanong ni Aling Marta, bagkus nagtanong ulit siya na may pait na nararamdaman. "Aling Marta, do you know the woman in Marco's study yesterday?"

Aling Marta shook her head, "Hindi ko kilala. Pag-uwi ko rito kahapon mula sa pagpapalengke, hindi ko namalayan na umuwi na si Sir kaya hindi ko rin napansin na nagdala na pala siya ng babae sa kanyang study room." Mahabang sagot ni Marta.

Thinking of that woman not only had a good figure, was tall, but was also very pretty, Aling Marta looked at Felicity worriedly.

"Ito ulit ang unang pagkakataon na nagdala siya ng babae sa bahay niya…” Kita sa mukha ni Aling Marta ang pag-alala habang nakatingin kay Felicity. 

Hindi na sumagot si Felicity, pagkatapos niyang kumain kinuha niya ang kanyang bag para sa pag-aaral at nagpaalam na kay Aling Marta.

"Aling Marta, papasok na ako sa school. Hindi ako uuwi sa mga susunod na araw, kaya kung magtanong man siya ay pakasabi na mag-stay ako sa dorm ko para gawin lahat ng kailangan tapusin para sa finals namin." 

"Pero hindi ba’t weekend ngayon, papasok ka ng weekend?"

"Well, the final exam is coming soon and I have to go back to school to review."

"Hmmm, kung sa ganoon. Umalis ka na at mag-ingat ka sa daan."

Felicity took a taxi back to school. Although the sophomore class is not so tight, she just wants to leave home and calm down.

Nanatili nga siya sa school buong linggo, mabuti nga ay may isa rin siyang kasamahan sa dorm na hindi rin umuuwi sa kanila kaya nagkakaroon siya ng kasama. Napansin siya ng ka-doormate niya na nakaupo lang sa lamesa nito sa dorm at parang nasa malayo ang iniisip. Lumapit ang kasamahan niya na may pag-aalala.

"Felicity, are you okay? Why didn't you go home this weekend? Hindi ka ba uuwi sa pamilya mo?"

Felicity glanced at Sandra , forced a smile, "I'm busy with my review." "

“Okay Well, by the way, next week there will be a lecture by Professor De Leon, and I will finally meet Professor De Leon in person.”

Professor De Leon, that guy can sweep the entire entertainment circle with his looks, but he just relies on his strength to become a businessman.

“In the end, he became the richest man in the country, a dignified and elegant man worth trillions. I didn't expect him to come to our school to give lectures for the second time. Ang saya naman na makita siya rito sa school natin! Isa rin iyon sa dahilan kung bakit hindi rin ako uuwi sa amin ngayong linggo." Masayang-masaya si Sandra sa kanyang sinasabi habang si Felicity ay hindi na matimpa ang nararamdaman. 

Sandra  excitedly stood beside Felicity, lying on Felicity's shoulder from time to time, looking at her and saying,

"You must go early to help me occupy the seat, you know? Professor De Leon's lecture last year was full of people standing shoulder to shoulder, and I didn't even get in. "

Mas lalong hindi makapagsalita si Felicity, ang dahilan niya kung bakit hindi siya uuwi ay para iwasan si Marco ngunit bakit ngayon ay makikita niya ito sa paaralan nila. 

Pero ang mas pinagtataka ni Felicity, babalik si Marco sa paaralan nila para magturo ngunit hindi niya alam at mas alam pa ng mga kaklase niya at ng ibang estudyante. Hindi niya matawagan si Marco para tanungin ang tungkool doon kaya naman pagdating ng gabi ay humiga lang siya sa kama niya sa dorm. 

Sinubukang matulog upang mawala ang sakit na nararamdaman. Marco wants to divorce her, hindi niya alam kung paano iyon tatanggapin o papayag ba siya na mangyari iyon na sa ngayon ay magkakaroon na sila ng anak. 

Nang makita ni Sandra na parang may mali kay Felicity, agad niyang nilapitan ito. “Ayos ka lang ba? May masakit ba sa’yo?”

Felicity responded, feeling that her chest was really stuffy, so he took her mobile phone and went to the campus to get some air. As soon as she left the dormitory building, the mobile phone rang.

Seeing that it was Aling Marta calling, Felicity hurriedly answered.

Sa kabilang linya, aligaga naman si Aling Marta habang hawak ang phone at inaantay na sagutin ni Felicity ang tawag hanggang sa sinagot na nga ito ni Felicity.

“Manang Marta, bakit po?” tanong ni Felicity. 

“Nasaan ka? Bumalik ka na sa bahay, ngayon din. Susunduin kita.”

Felicity suddenly had a bad premonition, and she asked, "Did he say he's waiting for me? "

"No, pero mukhang masama ng timpla niya ngayon kaya mas mabuting bumalik ka na rito. Susunduin kita.” 

"Hindi na po. Ako na ang babalik, kaya ko."

 Putting away the phone, Felicity walked towards the school gate. She knew that some things cannot be avoided. She has to face it herself.

Alas nuebe na ng gabi at sa labas ng school ay nag-aantay siya na may dumaang taxi. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ay nagkaroon na rin sa wakas. Kinakabahan siya habang nasa byahe, hindi niya alam kung ano ang madadatnan niya sa oras na makapasok siya sa loob ng bahay.

Tinulak ni Felicity ang pintuan at agad niyang nakita ang lalaking parang hari kung mag-antay na naka-upo sa sofa. Niluwagan nito ang necktie niya sa suot nitong polo, habang umiigting ang panga, bumaling siya kay Felicity.

Button of the shirt, he also undid two buckles, with his arms resting on his knees, and the phone in his hand was swiped consciously or unconsciously. Even though he was just sitting on the sofa so casually, he couldn't hide his noble and powerful aura coming from his bones.

Felicity looked at it from her angle, the man under the light seemed to be emitting light all over his body, so mature that it gave people an indescribable sense of abstinence, seductive.

Naninikip ang kanyang dibdib at dahan-dahan siyang naglakad patungo kay Marco na nakatingin pa rin sa kanya ng seryoso, hindi kumukibo na siyang mas nagpakaba kay Felicity. 

Marco frowned slightly, wanted to care but didn't say it. Felicity stood in front of him and softly called out, 

"Marco…."

She wanted to work harder for their marriage.

She want to fight for the baby in her stomach again.

Naisip niya na paano ang bata kung walang magandang samahan ang ina at ama nito. Ano na lang ang mangyayaring hirap na dadanasin ng bata. 

Marco looked at her, and replied lightly, "Yes."

Felicity felt sore in his heart, although she didn't want to compromise, but she really didn't want to give up her marriage like this.

Hindi niya pinansin ang mga dokyumentong papel sa lamesa kahit na nakita niya na ito sa gilid ng kanyang mata, alam niya na kung ano iyon ngunit isinantabi niya muna. Pinilit niyang lumapit kay Marco. 

"Huwag na tayong mag-away, can we be as good as before, okay?" Pagmamakaawa niya.

As long as he said yes, about the woman who appeared before. Regarding his divorce, she can let the past go.

Marco glanced at the "Divorce Agreement" on the coffee table, and raised his hand to grab the girl in his arms.

"Sound up, I..."

He opened his mouth to say something, but Felicity suddenly raised her chin to kiss his cold lips.

Two short legs knelt on his lap, wrapped his hands around his neck, hugged him and kissed him passionately.

He said he liked her body a lot. Kung ito lang ang isa pa sa dahilan para hindi sila maghiwalay at hindi ipilit ni Marco na makipag hiwalay sa kanya, gagawin niya ang lahat. 

Kung hindi niya pa maibigay ang bata, ang naisip niya ay ibigay ang kanyang katawan.
