Patricia''s POV (Strict Husband)


    I was quietly reading a biology book here in the library when someone sat beside me.


    "Hey! Mag kwento ka nga!" Jess interrupted me.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Anong nangyari roon sa party noong nakaraan?! Hindi mo pa sinasabi sa''kin!"


    Napairap ako sa ingay niya. Kaya nga hindi ko na siya sinama rito dahil mangungulitng siya. Tgang sinundan pa ako. "Huy!" kinbit niya ako. "Balita ko naroon si Zara? I even saw their pictures online-"


    "There''s nothing important there, Jess"


    "Ang sungit mo naman" tumawa siya. "Sabagay, kahit ako maiinis kung ganoon makalingkis sa asawa ko ang babaeng ''yon!"


    "Hindi ako naiinis, Jess!" mariin kong tanggi. I folded the book I was reading. I lost my concentration because of her.


    "Sus, tga ba?"


    Tumayo na ako at iniwan siya. m kong aasarin niya na naman ako.


    A few days have passed since Mr. Salvador''s party but I still can''t get off to my mind what happened that night.


    I was hunted by it. To Zara''s desperation, tears and to theirplicated situation. I feel like I''m responsible of it for some other reason.


    "You''re too obvious, my friend!" humabol sa''kin si Jess makbas ng library.


    "Stop bugging me, Jess!" I burst.


    ng ssroom pa ang nadaanan ko at hindi parin nakakaligtas sa''kin ang tingin ng mga estudyante.


    Until we got to the room, Jess didn''t stop asking me. Even my blockmates were asking the same question, about the party.


    "Pero mukhang close rin si Callum Vsquez at yung model" rinig kong bulong ng kung sino.


    "Oo, bagay nga s e.." humagikhik ang kase kong babae.


    Nahigit ko ang hininga at hinayaan nang ang narinig. Well, that''s absolutely true. They look good together. They''re are both famous because of their families.


    Jess just stop bugging me when our professor entered the ssroom. Nakafocusng ako sa pakikinig at pagkatapos ng se ay kinulit na naman ako ni Jess.


    "You know what? Hindi kita titign!" ani Jess habang papunta kami sa parking.


    I stroked my hair because of frustration. Sa kanya na ako pgi sumasabay sa pag uwi kaya w tga akong choice.


    I told her how bored I was at the party while she was driving. Even the ones I heard in the conversation between Callum and Zara. Hindi ko na sana sasabihin ''yon pero parang may nag uudyok sa''kin na sabihin yon to at least, hear her opinion? "Ambisyosa naman p ang Zara na yan! Desperada! May asawa na si Callum pero ginugulo niya parin" Jess reacted, as what I expected.


    Since maaga pa ngayon ay pumayag nang ako sa alok ni Jess na dumiretso sa condo niya at doon kumain.


    "Bakit naman pumayag ka? I''ve seen their pictures and it was disgusting!" she really looks disgust as we enter the elevator.


    "I can''t do anything-"


    "You have! Duh, you''re the wife!"


    I immediately put down my things before sitting on therge sofa in her unit. I have also been here to Jess''s condo a few times and I would rather stay here.


    Sa bahay namin ni Callum ay masyadong tahimik. I would prefer here at least, Jess is talkative and she understands the weight of the atmosphere around.


    "Sinisisi mo ba ang sarili mo? Dahil doon sa narinig mo sa usapan n?" nakapamaywang na siya sa harap ko.


    Sumimangot ako. "No, it just that.."


    "Tsk! It seems true that Callum doesn''t really like Zara. It''s just her being ambitious and trying hard"


    "Can we just not talk about it? I''m hungry"


    Pag-iiba ko sa usapan dahil wng preno ang bibig niya.


    "Fine! I''ll just ordered our food"


    Jess came into her room while I turned on the big t screen TV and watched some movies. While waiting for our food, Jess decided to bake somesagna. "You''re really good at this" puna ko sa ginawa ni Jess nasagna.

    It was so delicious. Masarap at magaling tga siya mag bake noon pa, in fact, sa kanya rin ako natuto mag luto.


    "And so as you" she smiled. "You should baked some for Callum!" she suggested that makes my smile disappeared. "Nevermind.."


    Sheughed with my reaction, obviously teasing me. I continued eating until our food arrived. Jess ordered some pizzas and drinks, we shares so much stories while eating those.


    "I invited Tyrone. He''s already on his way and bought some beers. Just wait for him, I''ll just shower"


    I nodded andy down on the long sofa after we ate. Minsan nang kami mag bonding ni Jess kasama s Tyrone at Kelvin. Our schedules were soplicated because we were so busy with other responsibilities. Si Kelvin naman ay sobrang busy dahil aalis na siya ng bansa.


    I was peacefully resting while watching movies until I fell asleep without knowing it. Nagising nang ako sa pag alog sa balikat ko ng kung sino.


    "Pat?"


    I slowly opened my eyes and Tyrone''s face wearing a cap weed my sight. I even rubbed my eyes if I was just dreaming but not really.


    I slowly sat up and realized that I had actually fallen asleep.


    Napadako ang tingin ko samesa dahil sa mga bote ng beer na w ngman.


    "Naubos ko na yung mga d kong beer hindi ka parin nagigising" kamot ulo na sabi ni Tyrone. "Ang pangit niyo naman kabonding"


    "S-sorry, I fell asleep" I smiled apologetically.


    Napatingin ako sa orasan na nakasabit sa wall ni Jess at naki ang mata ko ng makita kung anong oras na.


    "Gosh! It''s already 8:00 p. m?" gntang kong sabi.


    "Uh-yeah? Napasarap ang tulog mo. May tumatawag din p sa''yo kanina habang tulog ka"


    "What?"


    I immediately checked my phone and saw almost ten missed calls and text messages from Callum asking him where I was! Oh my god! Is he looking for me? Is he already at home? "That''s your husband, right? I answered thest call and I think he sounds mad?"

    Naki ang mata kong tumingin kay Tyrone.


    "Bakit mo sinagot? Anong sinabi niya at sinabi mo?" tanong ko bago inayos ang mga gamit ko.


    "Well, I just said you were sleeping because maybe you were tired and then he suddenly asked who I was, nagalit siguro hahaha"


    I sighed heavily. Nagawa niya pa tgang tumawa. Maybe Callum is mad because I''m not home at this time.


    Tumayo na ako at handa ng umalis nang mala si Jess.


    "Where''s Jess?" I asked Tyrone.


    "Umalis, nag grocery. Uuwi ka na ba? Sabay na tayo, hatid na kita"


    Agad akong pumayag at mabilis na sumakay ng elevator. Nag text na rin ako kay Jess na aalis na kami ni Tyrone.


    Sinabi ko kay Tyrone kung saan niya ako ihahatid dahil hindi pa siya nakakapunta sa bahay namin ni Callum.


    "Wow, ang ganda naman ng bahay niyo. Iba tga kapag kasal na" mangha na sabi ni Tyrone ng makarating kami sa harap ng bahay.


    "Oh, shut up!"


    Umirap ako at lumabas. Nag pasmat ako sa kanya kahit marami pa siya''ng sinasabi bago tuluyang pumasok sa bahay.


    Silence dawned on me as soon as I opened the door, as usual. I could hear no noise from the kitchen. Is Callum home or maybe on his room? Dahan-dahan akong nagkad paakyat sa kwarto pero agad din napatigil ng marinig ko ang boses ni Callum.


    "Where have you been?" it''s Callum''s serious voice.


    "Shit!" I whispered nervously while looking to every corner where he was.


    From the dark part of the kitchen entrance, Callum came out while holding a ss of water. He was looking at me straightly with his serious face. Napalunok ako at agad natuod sa kinatatayuan.


    Agad akong kinabahanlo na ng magkad siya dahan-dahan ppit sa''kin.
