Patricia''s POV (Continuation...)
"It''s you.."
My eyes was still widened. Hindi ako makapaniw. m ko na hta sa itsura ko ang pagkagt ngunit hindi ko iyon nakikita sa kanya. She looks confident.
She cross her arm while still rising a brow. Pakiramdam ko ay iniinsulto niya na ako sa paraan ng pag tingin niya.
Huminga ako ng mlim at kinalma ang sarili. Hindi pwedeng ganito. I need to act normal and professional. Calm yourself, Patricia!
"So, you''re Patricia Clemente, huh?" mapanuya na sabi niya.
"Yes, w-who are you?" maang kong tanong.
She smirked. "Stop acting that you don''t know me"
Sinabi niya ''yon sa napakaarte na boses kaya ginapangan agad ako ng irita. Kinuyom ko ang kamay ko at normal na lumakad ppit sa kanya.
She rised a brows again when I ced my bag on the sofa.
"What do you need?" I asked patiently.
"I''m waiting for Callum toe home" she seated again.
She didn''t even answered my question.
Manhid ba ang babaeng ''to o sadyang w tga siya''ng hiya? In a visitor like her should act respectful and nice but she acts the opposite.
"For what?" tanong ko.
"It''s none of your business"
I clearly saw that she rolled her eyes. Wow, she has the nerve, huh? Jess was right about the attitude of this woman. We just met but she had the nerve to talk to me like that?
"It''s also my business because I''m his wife.."
Unti-unting nalukot ang mukha niya bago nag salubong ang ky.
"Really? A marriage with a contract?!" pagalit na sabi niya.
Tama nga na m niya ang kontrata namin ni Callum. She looks confident but I think I need to ruin that? m ko na nangako ako kay Callum na hindi kami makikim sa isa''t isa pero hindi niya naman ito mlaman. He''s not yet here.
I secretly smiled because of the idea forming in my mind.
"What contract are you talking about?" I mocked that makes her irritated again. "My husband didn''t inform me about that"
Agad umarko ang ky niya sa sinabi ko. Namum ang pisngi niya at t sasabog na.
"You''re funny-"
"No, you''re the funny one here" I faked aughed to tease her more.
"Callum didn''t love you. Your marriage is just in papers so stop acting like that! Nagkikita kami at nandito ako ngayon because he promised me something!" "So.. you love my husband?"
"Stop calling him your husband-"
"Because he really is. What''s wrong with that? This is my evidence"
I raised my hand to show her my ring. Dumaan ang sakit sa mata niya habang nakatingin dito.
"You mentioned that you two are seeing-"
"Yes and he do love me! He married you for responsibilities and I''m sure your parents almost cried in front of the Vsquez just for Callum to marry you!"
I greeted my teeth. How dare her insult me and my parents? She doesn''t know anything!
"So, you''re a proud mistress? Really?" saad ko.
Nbanan ko ang talim ng titig niya bago siya hw na nginisian. Taas baba ang dibdib niya sa galit at padabog na lumapit sa''kin.
Ak ko ay may gagawin siya ngunit nanatiling siya na nakatitig ng masama. Her fists were clenched and she seemed to be restraining herself. She looks violent though.
I didn''t know she was this kind of woman. She lets herself to look desperate just because of a guy? How funny. No wonder Callum''s parents doesn''t like her.
"Don''t you dare call me that!" she burst. "W kang m sa past namin-"
"At w ka rin m tungkol sa''kin. Ikaw na mismo ang nag sabi na past ka niya at ako ang asawa ngayon. Hindi ba at kabit ang tawag sa kagaya mo?"
It feels like my blood was boiling inside but I needed to be calm. I''m just making this woman realize that I''m not just a woman she can insult when she wants.
"You think your family has a good image? m ko ang sikreto niyo! Yourpany was failing so you are using the Vsquez! User, shame on you!" she smirked while looking at me as if I did a crime.
Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit m niya ''yon. They also had connections or maybe.. Callum told her?
"If your wedding is true, why don''t I see any of your wedding pictures here? That ring is not enough"
She looked around as well as in every corner of the house. Well, there''s really no sign of our wedding events with Callum, not even our wedding picture because we don''t have to insists on that. I also didn''t know that it was required to prove our marriage.
"Why am I even exining to you? You''re just someone I just met" I looked at her nkly. "If you want to talk to Callum just wait here"
I lost my mood.
Tinalikuran ko siya at umakyat sa kwarto ngunit hindi nakaligtas sa''kin ang dwang katulong na nakasilip mpit sa hamba ng pintuan sa back door. Oh, they heard everything.
I changed my uniform into afortable cotton short and a thin strap top. Inaayos ko ang itsura sa harap ng smin at doon kong napagtanto na nakasimangot parin ako.
That Zara is really getting into my nerves. Howe Callum likes her?
Bing may kumatok na isang maid sa pinto at sinasabing may meryenda sa ibaba. I just told her to bring drinks to Zara because that woman might be thirsty.
Hindi ako lumabas ng kwarto hanggang mag 6 p. m. I didn''t even entertained Zara even though she''s our guest. Nakang tanong pa ako sa isang maid kung umalis na ba ito ngunit hindi pa. Tgang nag hintay siya.
Nakahiga ako sa kama ng marinig ko ang sasakyan ni Callum. Agad akong sumilip sa bintana at nakita na lumabas siya ng sasakyan.
Napairap ako ng salubungin siya ni Zara ng yakap. He was too stunned and didn''t seem to expect to see her here.
Isinara ko na ang bintana at lumabas ng kwarto. Dumiretso ako sa kusina para uminom ng tubig nang makasalubong ko s Callum. Zara''s hand wrapped around his arm and Callum quickly removed it. There''s shocked and alert on his face. "P-Patricia"
I looked at him with my bored face. T binagsakan siya ngngit at lupa habang si Zara ay ngising aso sa tabi niya. Iniinggit niya ba ako?
Duh, I''m not even jealous, even an inch.
"Oh, Nandito ka na p.."
Hindi ko m kung anong pumasok sa isip ko at lumapit ako sa kanya para humalik sa pisngi. His eyes widened when I looked up, he had the same reaction as Zara and I wasughing inside!

"Kanina ka pa hinihintay ng bisita mo" peke akong ngumiti bago tumalikod sa kan.
Halos sabunutan ko na ang sarili ko pagkarating ko ng kwarto. What did I do?! Did I just kissed Callum?
"Ang tanga mo, Patricia! Nakakahiya ka!"
Isinubsob ko ang mukha sa kama at sumigaw sa sobrang inis. Ano pa ngayon ang mukha na ihaharap ko sa kanya? Ipinahiya kong ang sarili ko! Fuck!
ng beses na kumatok ang katulong sa pinto ngunit hindi ko ''yon binubuksan. Sinasabi n na ipinatatawag daw ako ni Callum kaya maslo akong hindi lumabas. I''m doomed! "Mam Patricia.."
Bumuntong hininga ako sa panibagong tawag sabas. Hindi ko na mabng kung pang n na ito.
Tumayo ako maliit na binuksan ang pinto.
"Kayo p, Nay Nelia.." ngumiti ako.
"W na po ang bisita sa ibaba, kanina pa umalis. Anong oras na po, kumain na kayo. Tawag kayo ni sir-"
"Ah-ayoko po! Pwede dalhan niyo nang po ako rito ng pagkain? Please?"
Halos pumkpak ako ng tumango siya. Siguro ay umuusok na ang ilong ni Callum. Manigas siya! Sigurado ako na mag-aaway sng dwa.
Well, her woman deserves it for insulting me!
Base sa contract namin, we can date someone in a secret way pero hindi ang ganito! Dito pa tga sa bahay kung nasaan ako? Hell no!
Dumating ang pagkain ko at sinabi ni Nanay Nelia na umakyat na rin si Callum sa kwarto niya. Kumain agad ako at nag video call kami ni Jess habang sinasabi ko sa kanya ang mga nangyari kanina. She was so loud and feel proud of me.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Our call ended when I decided to sleep but I was about to put my phone on the side table when I receive a text.
From: Callum We''ll talk tomorrow.
Muntik ko ng mabitawan ang cellphone ko ng mabasa ''yon at nasapo ang dibdib.
What the hell? I''m getting nervous...
