FIDELITY

CONFUSION

I BLEW a loud breath, I drink the rum straight from the bottle, ng mga lahati ang laman ay pabagsak kong ibinaba ang bote sa mesa.

Something is really off.

"I—i was accused of ki-killing someone."

That was her words. Killing of who? I want to asked further pero napansin ko na nahihirapan siyang magsabi kaya hindi na ako nag tanong.

She was being accused, kaya hindi siya nakapag-aral, ibig sabihin hindi dahil da pagiging brat niya kaya hindi siya nakapag-aral.

But why? The investigator was told me na she's a drug user and her family doesn't know about those.

Her family knew nakapag-tapos siya sa USA sa kursong Business Management. Her parents was attend her graduation also.

Paanong hindi pa siya nakakapag-college? When in 2107 she's working as the Vice President of their own company,  at very young age Vice president na siya ng kompnaya!

Fuck! It must has a mistake! As much as I want to dig deeper hindi ko magawa dahil sa huli siya parin ang naiituturo na si Faith.

I reviewed the CCTV footage were she hit my mom and Frost. Siya ang nasa Camera! Or maybe someone tampered the footage? pero imposible we are not in movie! For Christ Sake!

I was hoping na sana siya iyon, ngunit kahit paulit-ilit ko pang tingnan siya talaga.

"Kuya." I look at him annoyed.

"What do you want Nique? Hindi ba't dapat ay tulog ka na dahil may pasok ka pa bukas?" I don't have the strength para maki pag bangayan sa kanya ngayon.

"Wala akong kailangan sayo, baka ikaw meron." ngumiti ito ng nakakaloko sa akin.

"At ano naman ang kakailanganin ko sayo? nakakalimotan mo bang lahat ng gusto mong makuha ay nasa akin?"

"I know that, but you know wala naman talaga akong pakialam sa iniwan ni daddy sa akin, wala rin akong balak na kunin iyon sayo, can't you see? I'm not even fighting for it. Dahil kung gugustohin ko lang talaga— makukuha ko iyan ng walang kahirap-hirap legal ako na anak ni daddy at may karapatan ako. But because i don't give a damn of his money kaya hindi ako nakiki-alam."

"Kuya Xander you think you have everything?" he chuckled "there's a saying na we can't have everything, alam mo ba kung ano ang wala saiyo? You don't know the TRUTH about your wife! I mean ate Faith." tumawa ito ng nakakaloko. "It’s sound wierd calling her ate, may mga alam ako sa asawa mo na hindi mo alam, and no way in hell na sasabihin ko saiyo. Alam mo ba kung bakit? I want to see your downfall and begging."

After saying those he left me mouth parted and confuse.  May alam siya kay Faith.! Fuck is he joking? Kung may alam si5yya kay Faith does it mean nagkita na sila before o magka-kilala na sila dati?

Napasukan ko si Faith na mahimbing nanatutulog, lumapit ako sa kama, I caress her face, She's really beauty,even in her deep sleep. No wonder  maraming nakakapansin at nagkaka-interest sa kanya. And I go blasts when someone near her, I smile kanina panag-saliklop niya ang aming kamay, at first i get annoyed but when i turned my back nalaman ko kaagad kong bakit niya iyon ginawa. What an obedient, maybe she's afraid of me might get anger.

Naligo muna ako bago nahiga sa tabi ni Faith, i want to cuddle her in my arms. Kaya maingat kong inilipat ang pagkakaunan niya sa braso ko. Kaagad naman niyang isiniksik ang katawan sa akin, her small arms embrace in my waist. I feel  contented with her embrace. I close my eyes and force myself to sleep, hindi ko na muna iisipin ang sinabi ni Unique. Who knows, maybe he's just playin me.
