I’m Just His Wife

“I love you too, Darlyn. I love you so freaking much, sweetheart. Since we were just kid, I was already so in love with you. You’re just numb and hostile that time so I didn’t have the guts to introduce myself to you. ” his litany that made my heart beat faster. What the?

I was about to open my mouth when he suddenly pressed the door close button and quickly released my hand. Argh! He laughed and waved at me and I only reached the closing of the elevator.

I was trampled with annoyance. Look at that man, after he confessed to me that he suddenly left? If it’s not rude!

“Marj, do you know? It was rumored that Mr. De Leon was fifty-fifty in the operating room on the seventh floor. He was the owner of this hospital.” I heard someone say before so I stayed in front of the elevator to listen.

“Hala, yes, Kath said yes. She was assigned there for that operation but she was replaced immediately because she couldn’t handle the nervousness anymore. Those doctors almost didn’t even bother to shout because they were so nervous. How come, That’s VIP, isn’t it? ”

“Gaga, it’s probably VIP, I can only say that he’s the owner of this hospital. Tsk, Sir was still handsome. He said the bullet hit him in the chest.”

“Ah! That’s why it’s fifty-fifty. But Doc Arjueles was supposed to have the operation so maybe Sir will still be saved. Doc can do it.”

“Hmm, at least you have a point.”

It was as if I could breathe easily there. Sana. Hopefully Ivan will be saved. He has a wife and children left when he disappears. I can’t also imagine what Andrea will react if Ivan will die. She will be sad and going to grieve again and I don’t want her to experience that horrible situation again.

I stole a deep sigh before deciding to leave the elevator opposite. I look like a fool here! I’m in front of the elevator and I’m not riding or pressing anything.

Xyleus was definitely outside the operating room where Ivan was so I should be outside the operating room where Andrea was being operated on. E the case was that I heard rumors so according to, I have never been there.

I shrugged and raised one eyebrow. I’m in rugged mode now. was this really how nurses were today? Gossiping at work? Nice slap in the face.

I approached those two nurses who to this day were still rumored to be operating on Ivan. Tss, everyone already knows that that man was married but the ones who will really look at women, hanep! Even married people fantasize about that. But they just try to judge Xyleus they can really taste me.

“Excuse me.” I can call them.

They turned to face me at the same time and I saw them swallow. A little horror was also evident on their faces.

“A-Ah, yes Mom?” a nurse asked me and smiled at me.

“Where’s the operating room here?” I raised my voice even more.

“Ah! was that so, Mam?” another lively question. “Just turn right there then go straight to it. You can get out of OR right away.” he pointed me where I should go.

‘thank you.” I smiled for a moment before returning to my calm look. “But … Can you go back to your jobs and not gossip about my friend’s wife? That man was married. You’re ashamed of yourself.” I stared at them and just passed.

Kaimbyerna those two. That’s what I hate most of all e. Those women were assuming and even fantasizing about men even though they know they were already committed to others. It’s a great joke to have that. Tsk. It looks like Corrine Zapanta was just the peg. He still knows that he has a wife that you will hit him. Sarap gilitan ng leeg e.

I have forgiven Corrine, yes. He helped us e. But it’s really only time for him to tease me again Xyleus, me, I’m really telling him. It”s not just a couple slaps with a fixture he”ll receive from me. I will even dip his extra thick face in boiling acid.

Am I brutal? Pwes, no one cares because I’m just protecting my property. I have Xyleus. From then on, he was mine. I’ve been waiting for a few shooting stars and I still wish even though I know it’s not true just because he really loves me. I have a hard time with that idiot e. So I don’t want to let him go now.

I turned right and straightened the road as the assuming nurse had said earlier. I already saw the signage that said ‘Operating Room” so there I went straight. When I got to the front of it I saw the glowing signage saying that the operation was still on-going inside.

I barely sniffed and sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting area. Maybe Xyleus was already out of the operating room like me. I can’t quite imagine what he looks like now. His best friend was in OR and he was said to be fifty-fifty.

Xyleus would rarely worry especially if in person yet. Maybe he was worried about the state of his company because you almost collapsed but it”s really different when he”s worried about someone.

I looked over my shoulder with a bullet wound. It’s not very deep so I don’t take the pain too seriously. Maybe I’ll just treat it later. It”s even more important that I know Andrea”s condition now.

To reduce my bit of boredom I took my cellphone out of the pocket of my black jeans. I haven’t changed clothes yet. It’s still what I was wearing like in the war earlier. It’s bad to be able to ‘war’, isn’t it? Para naman kasing war e. World War III, that was.

Exactly when I unlocked my cellphone a name appeared on its screen. I raised one eyebrow and then answered the call. Wow? Nice timing he has now.

“Hell, Corrine?” my answer.

“Ahm, hi? Darlyn? I just called to tell you that Lara was already here in the mental hospital.” He explained.

Spontaneously lowering my eyebrow earlier was raised. Also draw a smirk on my lip. “Really? That’s good. Good and you followed what my ‘husband’ and I ordered.” I even emphasized the pronunciation of the word ‘wife’.

“Psh. You don’t need to emphasize the word ‘wife’, though. I accept that you and Xyleus were really for each other.” He calmly promised but I still had a chisel lying there.

“It’s good that we understand each other, Corrine. Xyleus was mine and will forever be mine.” the smirk on my lips was immediately erased. I sneezed. “But … Thank you and you helped us. Even though I know you’re still a little bitter because you were slapped by the fact that Xyleus loves me and you still helped me. Don’t worry, I’ll pay yo back. I’ll find you of the man you’ll love. I know a lot. You’ll just go shopping. ” I was joking.

‘thanks, but no thanks, Darlyn. It’s okay for me to be single. And don’t worry because I won’t take Xyleus away from you again. I don’t want to be harassed again.”

I laughed. I couldn’t have ordered Corrine to do that! It’s Andrea. “Oh, sorry for that, by the way. It was Andrea who dictated Shawn to do that.” I was shaken. I think, Shawn likes Corrine. He wouldn’t fish so hard for Corrine if he didn’t. I know that shiver e.

“Shawn? That ugly and stinking bastard’s name was Shawn? Tsk, it doesn’t matter ah.”

“Hey! What’s ugly?” e may sa gaga pala itong babaeng ito e! was it to say that Shawn was ugly and smelly? Shawn Castillo? Gosh! “were you crazy? Shawn was no less handsome than Xyleus!” Shawn was really handsome. I just kind of lied there on the part that he was more handsome than Xyleus. Xyleus was still more handsome than him in my eyes.

“But I saw it with my own eyes! His beard closed and smelled of alcohol and cigarettes! Eww! He almost raped me!”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I thought for a moment. Come on … Beard closed?

“Ah, shit! He’s just disguising that!” I laughed at the promise. Shawn was really stupid ever!

“You mean … It’s true you say he’s handsome and everything I saw was just part of his disguise?” I heard his shock. Hmm, they’re pretty much Shawn’s thing. But … It’s just so bad! I became the match maker of my husband’s former fixture.

“Yes. Oh, he’s fine. I’ll take him down. I’m busy right now.”

“But wait, Darlyn. I want to know if-”

“Shh, I’ll just give Shawn your number. Bye.” I just hung up the phone and put my cellphone in my pocket.

I don’t know but I smiled to myself. I didn’t imagine, even for a while, that my husband’s mistress will be my companion. Maybe I would have been sick before if I thought that. Haller? That flirtation was my mortal enemy.

But … What I really wonder was why did he like my stupid wife? E jusko naman, nuknukan ng sungit ni Xyleus e. What did that man like? Even I wonder why I loved him e. But they say, ‘love moves in mysterious ways”. That”s probably what happened to me.

I just leaned back in my chair and erased my thoughts. That moment of conversation with Corrine eased my nervousness and frustrations. I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he said he wouldn’t take Xyleus away from me. Why, it should just really. We already have that man’s child so he should just shut up.

I accidentally shifted my gaze to the OR door. I sighed and gradually fear and nervousness took over my system. Who would’ve thought that Andrea Steinfields will be delivered into an Operating room?

None. Because many people believe he was strong. But I knew that he was not strong enough to withstand the danger posed by a bullet.

Andrea Steinfields was strong. But she can’t bear pain sometimes. He was too purged there. He needed to rest. Even if he tries to numb his whole body, his whole being … The fact that he was hurting still cannot be changed.
