His Battered Wife

I woke up from a deep and heavy sleep when I heard something, my heart started to beat hardly that it may come out from my inside. I quickly looked for my cellphone but then I remembered I left it in our kitchen while I was washing the dishes, what a freaking idiot Valen, I said while smacking my forehead. I looked for the time and I'm literally shocked, it's freaking 3:09 AM?! Nagulat ako ng marinig nanaman ang pagbagsak ng bagay, just from the sound I literally knew that something is wrong. I quickly grabbed the hardest thing I can.

I am now holding a broom; my heart keeps on beating rapidly because I am freaking alone in our house. Mapait akong napangiti ng maalalang hindi nga pala umuwi si Cohen, I bet he's sick with my presence, what's new? It's always like that. He always despised the things that I love, including me. I feel like I'm a bacteria or virus that needs to be avoided. Is this emotional damage?

Nabalik ako sa sarili ng marinig naman ang pagkabasag ng bagay mula sa baba na naglikha ng malakas na tunog, It echoed all over the house and it was scary. I slowly walk and stand behind the door, I made sure that my freaking door is lock. Sayang naman ang design ng tinkerbell door ko kung sakaling sirain ito ng kung sino man, it made me sad thinking about it.

I heard footsteps, pakiramdam ko ay papalapit ito o papunta sa taas. I positioned myself like I'm fighting someone. Calm down heart, calm down, tapping my chest to calm my heart.

Narinig ko ang maingay na pagkakabukas ng pintuan, siguro ay magnanakaw ito, wag naman sana akong chapchapin ng buhay. Ilang santo na ata ang natawag ko sa takot at kabang nararamdaman, my hands are cold and sweaty, I can literally the ticking of the clock.

Oh em gi, sa ngalan ng pixie dust ni tinkerbell wag sana ako ma dedz today.

The loud footsteps suddenly disappeared.

Should I go out? Or Should I just stay? I almost screamed when I heard my doorknob sound, it's trying to open my door, think of something Valen. I bite my lower lips to stop myself from screaming. Inihanda ko ang tambo bago unti unting hinawakan ang lock ng pintuan, ngunit nag dalawang isip rin sa naisip.

What if that freaking person will stab me? Oh no, that can't be. Be positive Valene, gaga maging positive ba ako kung patapos na ang buhay ko sa lupa.

I started to count from 1, 2, 3 and then I opened my door while tightly closing both of my eyes, Ipinalo ko kung saan man ang hawak kong tambo not just twice but thrice, I heard a manly grunt. I slowly opened one of my eyes and to my shock, it's Cohen, oh fuck I'm gonna be dead now.

Sumalubong ang masamang tingin nito habang sapo-sapo parin ang natamaang bahagi ng kanyang ulo, sa taas na ulo hehe, He was pissed while looking at my hands.

Unti unti ay ibinaba ko ang hawak na tambo, hindi ko alam ang dapat sabihin dahil sa gulat, I didn't know it was him argh I thought it's a magnanakaw, I should apologize ngunit natigilan ako ng mapagtanto kung bakit niya gustong buksan ang kwarto, does he need something?

I was about to speak when he started to walked away from me, mabilis ko naman itong hinabol at muntik pang madapa dahil sa suot kung mahabang pajama, ramdam ko ang pagkatigil nito, you're embarrassing your self Valen.

Ipinagpatuloy nito ang paglalakad kaya mabilis koi tong hinarang, I spread both of my arms to stop him from entering to his room, yes we have different room 'cause he doesn't like to see or even sleep with me but that's not important now, I should apologize for what happened.

"Uhm, I'm sorry for hitting you with the broom, hindi ko naman kasi alam na ikaw yun" mahinang usal ko habang nakayuko dahil sa kahihiyaan while tapping and playing with my feet and I can feel my cheeks burning.
