Chapter 29
Is she insane? Wala naman siyang alam, pero bakit kung umasta siya ay ganito?
I get that she needs an heir, but she should know which men are available! Dahil akin lang si River! May anak man kami ngayon o wala, akin lang si River!
“Bakit, Stacey? Sigurado ka bang kahapon lang may nangyari samin?” I was about to defend myself when I saw River behind her. Siya iyong nagsalita kung kaya't napalingon si Stacey sa kaniya.
Sa halip na tingnan si River ay reaksyon ni Stacey ang sinilip ko. Nanlalaki ang mata niyang singkit at namutla siya. Sinulyapan ko si River na halos patayin na sa titig si Stacey. Oh my gosh, she’s so afraid. I am too!
“R-River!”“And you put that tonic, right?” River asked, almost like interrogating. Napatungo si Stacey at halos maluha. Napanguso ako at bahagyang naawa sa kaniya. Parang ako ang naiiyak sa ginagawa ni River kay Stacey, eh.
“Answer me, Stacey!” River's ruthless side showed up. Seryoso ang tingin niya

“Nahihibang ka na ba, Roselle? Ano namang pumasok sa isip mo at sinabi mo iyan?!” tanong ng Mama.“Walang nangyaring kahit ano samin ni Alondra,” may kahinaan na sabi ni Tito Lucio sa asawa. Bumuntonghininga si Ma'am Roselle. Maging ako ay nakaluwag sa paghinga dahil sa sinabi ni Tito Lucio. Akala ko ay kung ano na.“I am not Dad's son, Sandra. Kung iniisip mong baka magkapatid tayo, ay hindi.” Napatalon ako nang may bumulong at pumulupot na kamay sa aking baywang. Nagulat ako sa presensya ni River at lalo na sa kaniyang sinabi. “Mom and Dad's marriage is fixed by my grandfather. May boyfriend noon si Mom at noong ikasal sila ni Dad, nalamang buntis si Mom at sa akin. My dad wanted me to become a Costales dahil marupok siya at minahal ang asawa.” Napangisi siya habang nagkukwento.Doon ko siya hinarap gamit ang gulat na mga mata. I didn't know that! Bakit ngayon ko lang nalaman? Fuck.“W-What? What abo

“You two... are engaged?” tanong ni Lionel. Gulat ang mata niya at nakatingin sa akin. I don't know if it's just me or the pain in his eyes is really evident.“And... you’ve married?” nakangiting tanong ko at itinuro silang dalawa. Hindi ko akalain. Hindi ko alam na kasal silang dalawa! But why the hell is Lionel telling me that he likes me if he's married to CK?And CK is okay with that?! Oh my goodness, ayoko nang manghimasok pa sa kanila.“You know each other?” River asked. Ngumiti ako at tumango sa kaniya. I pointed at Lionel before talking. “He's my batchmate in the Cadet Pilot Program. We're workmates... tapos si CK ay aircraft mechanic din ng airlines,” I said.Tumango tango si River at tumingin sa kapatid. Nakatitig sa akin si Lionel kung kaya't muli akong napasulyap kay River na ngayon ay kunot noong nakatingin kay Lionel. Surely, River can already sense something.Napatingin ako kay CK

“I like you,” I said while smiling at Estelle. She smiled back at me sweetly, pero hindi tumagal ang titig ko sa kaniya at bumaba sa katawan niya. I honestly don’t like her romantically, but I’m bored. Subukan ko kayang mag-girlfriend? Maganda naman si Estelle, eh. Puwede na.“Do you want to court me?” she asked.“Of course,” I confirmed and smirked wider. She looks sophisticated. Kung papasa ako sa standards nito ay may chance siguro ako sa babaeng gusto ko. “Then you should lift your grades higher.” Napatigil ako sa pagtitig at nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya. My brows raised at what she said.I should what?“What?” tanong ko muli.“You're smart, River. Hindi mo lang sineseryoso kaya't babagsakin ka ngayong college,” Estelle said. I groaned at her. Talaga bang sinabi niya iyon sa harap ko?! Unbelievab

I believe in River. I believe in him and on what he says. Hindi mapapantayan ng kahit ano mang sabi-sabi ang ipinakita at ipinaramdam niya sakin.“I'm sorry, Darling... hindi ko kaagad sinabi sayo,” River said.“You forgave me for leaving you and still loved me even after what happened. How can I stay angry at you? Mas malaking kasalanan ang ginawa ko sa iyo... iniwan kita,” I said softly.“I love you... I've loved you more because of your thoughts,” he said.Ngumuso ako nang may maalala. Lumayo ako at sinamaan siya ng tingin. His eyes widened and stared at me again.“You liked Estelle before?” tanong ko “Kailan? Ang bilis mong mag move on, ah?!” says the girl who got engaged a few weeks after calling off her last engagementHalos mapanguso ako dahil sa naisip. Nilingon ko siya muli at nakita ang nakangising pagmumukha niya. Inirapan ko siya at itinulak subalit muli niyang hinila an

Lionel glared at CK for a few seconds before heaving a sigh. Sumulyap si Lionel sa akin at saka bumuntonghininga bago tumango tango. It seems like he already came to his senses.Noon lang lumuwag ang paghinga ko. Parang sa wakas ay naliwanagan din siya sa mga naiisip niya.“I understand,” he said huskily. Napangiti ako at nagbaba ng tingin. I thought everything turned out fine, pero bigla na lang lumapit si Lionel upang halikan ako.He quickly and smoothly locked his lips into mine that made me gasp. Napakabilis ng pangyayari na bago ko pa siya maitulak papalayo ay may humila na sa akin.“What the fuck are you doing?!” River pulled me to go behind him. Kinwelyuhan niya si Lionel kaya't kaagad kong hinawakan ang braso niya.“Kuya River!” Pumagitna rin si CK upang pigilan si River at ganoon din ang aking ginawa.“River, tama na,” I said and tried to tame him. Humigpit ang hawak niya sa aking pala

“There's no chance of saying no to me, Darling. There's no chance,” River said before he slid the ring on my finger.Nakangiti ko iyong tinitigan bago siya muling hinarap. Then, he smiled and kissed me deeply again.It was one of the happiest day of my life. Parang kahit ilang araw na ang lumipas ay sariwa pa rin sa akin gang nangyari at hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala.The following days were filled with happiness. And like what River wants, sa condo niya ako nanatili. Vincent granted me the leave that River requested. Natapos nga ang kontrata namin ni River na narito lang ako sa condo niya.My family usually visits me here. Si River naman ay diretso ang uwi rito pagkakatapos ng trabaho. On Sundays naman, he's here for the entire day with me.“Ang ganda ng singsing mong inggrata ka! Milyon siguro ang halaga niyan!” sabi ni Vincent nang bumisita siya rito. Hawak niya ang aking kamay at tinititigan iyong mabuti.“N

“You don't have to move... I'll cook our breakfast. Stay here, alright?” bilin ni River habang nakaupo sa gilid ng kama.I shook my head and hugged him tighter. Kumalam na ang aking sikmura at alam kong ramdam niya iyon, but I don't want him to leave. I still want to cuddle.“But, darling, you're already hungry. Magugutom din ang anak natin,” he said. His bedroom voice is like music to my ears.Malungkot man ay tumango na ako at hinayaan siyang tumayo.He sat down and put his boxers on. Ngumisi ako at humagikhik bago sumampa sa likuran niya.“What are you doing?” natatawang tanong niya.“I'll come with you,” I whispered and snaked my arms around his neck.My naked chest was pressing at his back. He was topless and only wearing his boxers.“Darling!” He groaned. Humagikhik lang ako at lalong hinigpitan ang yakap sa kaniya.“I love you,” I said cutely.

“I'm sorry, we have to go,” sambit ni River at saka ako hinila upang makalayo sa mga interviewer. Bago pa man kami makalapit ay marahas akong hinila ni Ma'am Roselle kaya't napabitaw ako kay River.“Mom!” sigaw ni River at sumunod samin. Ma'am Roselle took me inside of their house at sa pakiramdam ko ay galit siya.“Ma'am Roselle,” I called. Nang makarating sa loob ay saka niya ako hinarap at sinampal.“Mom, stop it!”“Roselle!”I heard River and Tito Lucio shouted before River enveloped me with a hug. Isinubsob niya ako sa kaniyang dibdib na parang pinoprotektahan sa ano mang pwedeng gawin ng kaniyang ina.“What a scandal! Manloloko ka! You're still engaged with that Engineer, and yet, you're here... flirting with my son!” sigaw niya sakin.“Mom, it's not like that—!”“Not like that? Then what's this?! Pumayag na nga akong maging ma
