I’m Just His Wife

“You know my size?” kunot noo kong tanong. What if it all doesn’t fit me? I don’t even remember telling him my size.

But if he knew my size then, that’s fine. My size then and now were still the same. I don’t want to change the structure of my body. I still like it like this so even though I eat a lot, I exercise a lot.

“Yes. Do you want me to recite more to you? I know your size still hasn’t changed. Besides, I have confidence in myself. I’ve handled all of you before.” I immediately slapped his arm because of his lust!

“You’re rude, Ivan!” I frowned saying he just laughed.

“I’m just teasing you.” he laughed at the promise.

“You’re not funny! Your green was a joke!” I shouted.

“Pfft. Go upstairs and change your clothes. We’re early tomorrow. We’ll be touring here in Realondo tomorrow because I know you haven’t been here yet.”

I was shocked by what he said. I haven’t been yet? For pete’s sake! He”s even been with me going here before! Doesn’t he really remember the times we were together when we were kids?

I slightly pouted my lips at that thought. He was so forgettable! He said then that he could never forget me but now he doesn’t even remember anything about me.

“I’m going to go upstairs. There you were.” I didn’t want to promise and turned away from him.

“Alright. Sleep tight, my baby …” he smiled.

I turned to face him and raised an eyebrow at him. Baby his face! “Don’t call me ‘baby’ because I’m not a baby.” I made a difficult promise.

“Should I call you babe, then?” he laughed at the question. Seriously, what’s so funny?

“Yuck! With this beautiful and sexy of mine will you call me babe? What am I, pig?” napangiwi ako. And if I know that’s what they call Lara!

“Alright, hon.” he still laughed he said.

“What hon?” kunot noo kong tanong.

“Wasn’t that what you called me in the early days of our marriage? You just stopped calling me that when I told you to stop calling me by another name. And now I won’t forbid you. You’re free to call me ‘hon’ and I’ll call you that myself. ” he even smiled sweetly as if he was feeling very happy.

I averted my eyes from him. Does he still remember that? I was a so called desperate that time so even though I was the woman I was the one who insisted that we have endearment. The only case was that he got angry and told me never to call him that again because he was too sick. Damn him, that hurts for me because I was still pregnant then and I was so emotional.

“were you okay, hon?” he suddenly asked so I turned to him.

I closed my eyes sharply and sighed. “Don’t call me like that again. I don’t like it.” I promise no emotion. I only remember how weak I was then.

“But I want to call you like that. You’re my wife.” he insisted.

I’m tired. “Fine. I’m going to rest.” I said in disgust and walked away from him.

Suddenly I was really disgusted with him when he opened the topic of what happened to us before. It was the same before when we were still on the trip here to Realondo. He asked me how I felt when he hurt me. I was just bored with him all of a sudden. Fortunately, he thought of giving another topic.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I love you, hon. So much that I can sacrifice all that I have just to regain you and your heart again.” I heard him say but I never looked at him again.

It still hurts when I think about our past. And I don’t think the wounds I’ve inflicted on the past two of us will heal …

Earlier I was scrolling text messages to me from Roxanne, Diamond, Sapphire, Amethyst and … Darlyn. With so much of it, I can’t read it one by one. I know that their messages have only one content. It”s either they ask where I am or what happened earlier and I left earlier.

My gaze widened in time on my cellphone and I gasped. It’s midnight but I still can’t sleep. I think of my twin son and Ice. Only now did I realize that I had children left behind in Manila.

But I know that Roxanne and the Aces will watch over them. I had confidence in their watchfulness so I knew my children would not be harmed.

My cellphone rang again and Darlyn’s text message popped out of the screen. I closed my eyes emphatically and did not read it. What would I look like to face him if I were the son of the man who killed his father? I know how painful it was for her to lose her father because I felt the same way when she told me what her family went through when her father passed away.

That’s why Uno was so mad at us … or should I say, Seymour. I found out from Ivan earlier that Seymour had planned everything very well. It was only since he returned to the Philippines and we met again. And I can say he was good at planning and moving because I didn’t even suspect him.

I decided to turn off my cellphone when I felt hungry and thirsty. Damn, I should have just yelled at Ivan earlier when he invited me to drive thru. I’m so hungry and thirsty as hell.

I laid my cellphone on the bed side table and got up from lying on the bed. I also now wear pajamas and a plain t-shirt to make my sleep more comfortable. But I’ve been lying here before and not once have I even felt drowsy.

I put on the household slippers that looked brand new and headed out of the room. Maybe someone can eat here? I have to eat because I might get sick. Once because I can’t eat when I’m hungry, the result was the flu right away. I think my resistance was weak, as my OB said in America when I was pregnant with twins. I almost shot then e. Just really thank God and he saved us my children.

I slowly descend the stairs because I might create noise. Maybe those with me here at home were asleep and I don’t want to disturb sleep. I knew Ivan was tired from long hours of driving so I didn’t want to disturb his sleep.

When I got down the stairs I just straightened my walk because the kitchen was there. I bit my lower lip because of how hungry I was feeling. Damn! I can’t go hungry!

I entered through a door and the huge kitchen opened up to me. I turned on the light and frowned. Why was this kitchen the same as my kitchen in Ivan’s house? It was impossible for him to move our house here in this remote village.

I immediately opened the refrigerator and I was relaxed when I saw some grocery stocks. I decided to just make a sandwich since I was really hungry. After I made my vegetarian sandwich I poured fresh milk into a glass.

I immediately bit into the sandwich and quickly chewed it. I feel like I didn’t eat foods for a long period of time! I’m still a little choking so I also drink milk.

After I ate I put away my food properly and drank cold water to get rid of the taste of fresh milk in my mouth that I drank earlier.

Before I left the kitchen I turned off the light first. I closed the door and walked away from the kitchen. Thank you and my stomach was full. It also prevents disease.

I was about to step my foot on a flight of stairs when I noticed something. I turned to my right and saw Ivan sitting on the couch and wide awake. He was also drinking something from a glass and I realized it was wine. Wait, why was he drinking?

Out of my curiosity I deviated and walked closer to him. Earlier he was still laughing with laughter and then now he looks drinking? His trouble was he”s really a man. It’s like a math problem that was difficult to solve e.

When I got in front of him I snatched the glass with only the wine he was supposed to drink. He looked up and looked at me in shock. I raised an eyebrow at him and placed the glass on the center table before sitting down next to him.

“Did I think we were early tomorrow? Why were you getting drunk?” even though only one light was on here in the living room I can still see his face.

He sighed and did not answer me. He would have taken the glass to the center table but I restrained his hand. I don’t want him to get drunk. That”s what”s stuck in my mind right now.

“Let me drink, Rigella …” he promised seriously while I tried to keep the glass away from him.

“Why were you drinking?” I wondered the question.

“You don’t care. Just let me drink …” he insisted.

I smiled bitterly and drank the only wine from the glass he was trying to snatch from me. Her eyes widened and frowned when she looked at me. Damn! I winced at the excessive strength of the wine he was drinking!

“Shit! Why were you drinking?” he said confused.
