The Sweetest Things Novels & Stories

Ikakasal na rin naman ako, bakit hindi ko pa hayaan ang sarili kong sulitin ang gabi na 'to dahil kinaumagahan pag-aari na ako ng iba. "Laze," matipid na tawag ko sa kaniya. "Hindi mo na ako gusto, 'di ba?" Kwestyon ko na ikinatigil niya. "Hindi na." Sagot niya kaya mapait akong ngumiti at tsaka ako tumayo. "I am a horrible woman, Laze. You'll hate me after this, your girl might even curse me to death but I don't care. I want to play," nangunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa akin na nakatayo sa bandang harapan niya. "What?

"I'm going to do the things I'm not good at," binasa ko ang labi at tsaka ko sinunggaban ang labi niya, dahil sa ginawa ko ay napasandal pa siya sa wall. Ipinikit ko ang mata at lakas loob na nanatili sa pwesto ko ngunit nang maramdaman ko ang pag awang ng labi niya ay hindi ko na alam ang gagawin kaya napapahiya akong hinawakan ang pisngi niya. Bago pa man ay natigilan ako humiwalay siya at hindi ako makapaniwalang tinitigan, "This is cheating Hakuna Miran," hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya. I know, I know it well. Napatitig ako sa labi niya tsaka ako ngumisi, "That's why I called my self horrible." Seryoso ang mukha niya at tsaka siya tumikhim at umayos ng upo. Parang hindi makapaniwala sa inasta ko, "Do you hate me now?" Ang malamlam niyang mata ay tumitig sa mata ko. Napatitig ako sa kaniya ng dahan dahan siyang tumango, "Yes." That pierced my heart.

"You're saying?" "I'm saying, I know you're avoiding me." She froze. "I see the way you look at me Tarah." Their eyes met. But she quickly looked away. "Look at me darling." He said huskily. He lifted her chin. She finally looked at him in his soul sucking eyes. "Are you attracted to me?" "No." She lied. TARAH What do you do when you feel things you never felt before? Feelings you never thought you would feel, towards someone you shouldn't feel that to. Feelings you should never feel towards your husband's brother. And what if it happens, he feels the same. What do you do? What do I do? How could I keep myself away from him, when we live under one roof. How can I not get attached to him, when he's all I am into.

EZEKIEL The marriage contract wasn't entirely legal, but still, a grooms valid name was needed. There was no second bastard son at all, and I couldn't come up with a name. So, I put my name on it. Making Tarah married to me. Yes. To me. She's married to me. Which she didn't know. And wouldn't know. I know she's just adopted, but I'll still mess around her, as planned. And what could I do? She's undeniably very pretty. So pretty. I wanted her attention on me. I want her. I want my wife. I want what's mine. I'll do everything to get her.
