"Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform"
- Rise lyrics by Katy Perry
KYLE
"Oh, before I forgot something.. Ms. Elle your surname sounds familiar, are you somehow related with the Villafuentes' Company?" The host intrigued.
Elle smiled sweetly to the host and at the audiences and locked her stare at me.. I got nervous sa magiging sagot niya sa host. But on the other side, there's part of me hoping that she'll say that I'm her husband..
"Yes because I'm Kyle Villafuentes' wife..." Boom. That hit me.. The crowd filled with whispers.. Probably they are shocked to what Elle revealed.
"Ohh!! That's what I've thought! Wow, that's probably the reason why you have decided to invest to Kyle's Company right?" Literal na nagulat ako sa tanong ng host..
"To save your husbands' company from falling, you invested 60% of your shares in his company to lift it...What a sweet wife!" The host added.. Hindi ako makapagsalita.. Parang hindi pa nagsisink in saakin lahat ng mga narinig ko..
"Sort of? But there's another reason why I invested in his company.." Suddenly, I felt nervous without any reason.. "And what is it?" The host curiously asked.
I saw Elle smiled.
"Ever since, I have hopes for my husband.. I always say to him he can make it, that he'll be a good at owning his own company. And now I think, it's my duty to help him build it up again, I guess?" Nakangiting sabi ni Elle.. Biglang nag 'ayieee' ang mga audience. That includes the host.. I don't know but I suddenly felt shivers within my body.. Something is wrong and I don't like it..
"Liar! If I know, you planned this!" I heard Ally mumbled.
"Oh, before I forgot! This event won't be possible without my partner in this business! Everyone, please give a round of applause to Ms. Elisa!" And with that, lumabas ang sinasabi niyang Elisa.
"BULLSH*T! I KNEW IT! KAYA MAINIT ANG DUGO KO SA MALANDING YAN!" Galit na sabi ni Ally.
"Watch your mouth, Ally." I said in my warning tone. But Ally didn't listen to what I've said.. "No wonder.. Bagay nga sila. Parehong malalandi.." This time I faced Ally.
"What?! I'm just telling the truth.. Bakit ka ba nagagalit saakin?! Hindi ba enjoy na enjoy ka naman habang nilalandi ka ni Elisa?" Sarkastikong tanong niya saakin..
"I don't want to argue with these nonsense of yours, Ally.. Isipin mo na kung anong gusto mong sabihin.. I can't change your mind, kung yan ang pinaniniwalaan mo.." Kalmadong sabi ko sa kanya at muling tumingin sa harap na kung nasaan si Elle at Elisa..
"Wow gorgeous ladies! Look at these two, looking so perfect with each other! You look like sisters!" Pambobola ng host.
Nagsalita lang ng kaunti si Elisa at hindi nagtagal ay bumaba na ito.. "Good to finally see you, Ms. Elle.." Rinig kong sabi ng ibang guests dito sa room ngayon..
"Kyle let's go.. Umalis na tayo dito.." Utos ni Ally saka siya tumayo.. Tumayo na rin ako at naglakad.. Hindi pa man ako nakakalayo ay biglang may nagsalita sa likod ko..
"You're leaving already?" Nanigas ako sa boses na yun.. "Yes, and pwede ba, stop talking to Kyle!" Galit na sabi ni Ally sa kanya..
"Oh? Why? Is there something wrong? As far as I know, I'm HIS wife... May mali ba doon?" Kalmadong tanong ni Elle. Lumingon ako and there I saw her closely.. Nakabathrobe na siya, and ang heavy ng make up..
"Yes lalo na't hindi ko pa nakakalimutan yung ginawa mo saakin sa laot! Tandaan mo to, Elle. Hindi pa tayo tapos!" Galit na galit niyang sabi kay Elle habang dinuro-duro niya ito..
"Oh? You're mad already? I didn't even started yet.. Chill.." Kalmado niya pa ring sabi.. Kinakabahan ako dahil sa pagiging kalmado niya.. Hindi ganito si Elle.. Ibang-iba na siya.. I must say and that's because of me..
"YOU --!!" I stopped Ally.. "What?!" Inis niyang tanong saakin. "Don't create a scene here." Bulong ko..
"Anyways, it's nice to see you again, DEAR HUSBAND.." Malanding sabi niya saakin. Hinawakan ko si Ally sa kamay dahil aakmang susugurin niya na si Elle..
"Let's go.." Sabay hila ni Ally saakin.. Pero hindi pa man ako nakakalayo, ay may pahabol pa si Elle..
"Can't wait to work with you, Dear Husband."
Damn.
