บท 24: Accuse
"Let's get married tomorrow."
Unti-unting nagliwanag ang mukha ni Paulite. Hanggang sa tuluyan na itong napasigaw at niyakap siya ng mariin. "I love you, J," anito, pagkaraan ay siniil siya ng halik.
She kissed him back. With no fear. With no barriers. With no limitation.
They entered their slumber that Paulite is on the phone, whilst she busied herself on checking her closet. There are a bunch of dresses and she couldn't decide which from the three white dress on the bed she will wear. All of them are gorgeous that she was torn which of which.
She will pair them with her pearl slippers. No make-up, since she doesn't have any make-up set on her table though she is complete with her moisturizer, sun protection, and perfume. Bare on your special day is not bad. Besides Paulite will marry her even if she was naked.
Martin and Gretta are their only witness, plus the judge, ocean and the woods. She giggled at the thought of how simple their wedding was but grateful because finally, she will marry the person she ever loved.
"Aren't you done there?" he asked, his both hands curled around her waist. His chin rested on her shoulder.
"Pinipili ko kung alin sa tatlo ang maganda. Pero sa tingin ko—" She stopped when she heard his phone ring.
"Continue that. I will just answer this." He kissed her cheek and answered, "Hello!"
Napalingon siya rito. His stunts, his back frame, and his simple hello are all very masculine and sexy. She remembered earlier when his arms were tainted with the blood of the chicken. When they play volleyball, his pants were dirty with mud and dust. Even if he was not on his black suit he is still sleek and full of substance.
His body tensed. He looked back at her with intensity.
"Why?"
He shook his head and smiled. Then he looked away and go outside.
She shrugged her shoulder and proceeded with her plans. Nakapili na siya ng susuotin. Inayos niya iyon sa hanger at ngayon ay binuksan ang closet ni Paulite. Gusto niyang parehas sila. Kumuha siya ng black slacks at puting polo shirt. Dahil lumaki siyang independent, alam niya ang magplantsa. She ironed their clothes and placed inside on the side.
She was very excited. Sinilip niya mula sa veranda si Paultie na ngayon ay nasa dalampasigan na.
Sino ba ang kausap niya?
Pumasok siya sa loob. She took a half bath and changed a silk night dress. She may be not knowledgeable with wedding preparation but she knew some old culture about it. Before the wedding, both should be separated. Would it be a bad luck if they stay together?
Sinubulan siya nang kaba. Paglabas ay naabutan si Paulite na gaya niyang nakapag-shower na rin. Nakasandal sa bedrest habang nakaharap sa hawak na laptop.
"Hindi ka pa matutulog?" tanong niya. Gumapang sa kama para makahiga na.
He put the laptop on his side so he could kiss her shoulder. "Go ahead, J. I will just attend some issues, then I will sleep."
"Huwag ka na magpuyat."
Tumango ito. Inayos ang kumot niya bago siya pinatakan ng halik sa labi. "Dream of me."
Nilingon niya ang hindi nakaharap sa kanyang screen ng laptop at cellphone nitong nasa side table. Sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan, pakiramdam niya ay may tinatago si Paulite. What is it?
Pumikit siya ng mata ngunit hindi agad nakatulog. Ginagambala siya ng masama niyang kutob. Saglit siyang naghintay at nakikiramdam, pero sa huli ay natalo siya ng kanyang sistema at nakatulog. Hanggang sa bigla siyang magising. Tulog na rin si Paulite sa tabi niya.
Paglingon niya sa oras ay alas kuwarto y medya. Agad niyang sinilip ang laptop na nasa side table. Pinapatungan iyon ng cellphone kaya iyon muna ang sinilip niya. He doesn't have passcode so she easily saw the platform where he left.
Secretary Arroyo: Jessica Jones Smith was accused as the mastermind of her father's death that was as per Ana's statement. Naglagay po si Mrs. Smith ng 100,000 sa ulo niya kung sino man ang makakapagturo kung nasaan si Miss Jessica. Inutusan na po namin si Biboy para sa malawakang pag-imbestiga. Babalikan ko po kayo para sa iba pang balita.
Paulite: Did my grandad say something about it?
Ms. Arroyo: He is still in Abu Dhabi, Sir. Ang pamilya niyo po ay hindi pa nakakauwi. Nakausap ko po ang ate ninyo, patungo po sila sa Australia.
Paulite: Keep me posted about their reaction once they heard about Jessica. For now, I will keep her here. And please expedite the investigation, contact Mr. Carri Lebious Bustamante for some assistance. Just say my name, he will know.
"J, what are you doing?"
Sa gulat ay muntik niyang mabitawan ang cellphone. Nawala na ang antok niya sa katawan. At ang bumabagabag sa kanya kani-kanina lang ay napunan ng kasagutan.
"Ako ang tinuturo ni Ana na nag-utos sa kanyang patayin ang daddy ko?" Umiling siya. "Hindi totoo 'yon. Hindi ko magagawa sa daddy ko 'yon. Hindi ako mamamatay tao, Lite."
