His Sassy Queen

Chapter 19

Mabilis na tumakbo si Diane patungo sa banyo ng maramdaman ang pag baliktad ng sikmura, nit a great way to start a day for her. Malalim siyang bumuntong hininga at hinila ang flush she sighed and carefully sit in the toilet bowl napahilamos siya sa sariling mukha dahan dahan siyang tumayo at lumapit sa sink upang mag hilamos, pinagmasdan niya ang sarili sa salamin at nakita ang nanlalalim niyang mata, she looks sick.

"Diane? Are you okay in there?"

Hindi niya mapigil ang pag ngiti ng marinig ang tinig ni Cloud mula sa labas ng pinto she cleared her throat first before answering him.

"I'm good, kumulo lang yung tiyan ko."

"Are you sure?" Muling tanong ni Cloud. "Don't you think that this happening so often?"

Maski siya ay nag tataka she would really throw up every morning feeling sick and tired kahit wala naman siyang ginawa though sometimes Cloud is an extra that they will finish at dawn.

"A-ayos lang ako don't worry, can you prepare our breakfast? I'm kinda hungry."

Sumangayo naman si Cloud, she sighed and shook her head tuluyan na lang siyang naligo bago lumabas ng silid kakalabas pa lang niya ay halos itaob na ng amoy ang kanyang sikmura kaya't mabilis siyang bumalik sa banyo at sumuka. Inis na kinuha niya ang phone sa sahig at tinawagan si Cloud

"Hey you can just—"

"What are you cooking garbage?! My god Cloud! You should have ordered take out!"

Hindi ito nakasagot sa kanyang sinabi he was shock towards her attitude.

"Kainin mo mag isa yan bwiset!"

Mag sasalita pa sana si Cloud ngunit pinatay na niya ang tawag, she left the bathroom and walk towards the bed matutulog na lang siya kaysa mas mainis sa binata. She also makes sure to lock the door so Cloud wouldn't enter, narinig niya ang mahinang pag katok nito mula sa labas ngunit hindi niya iyon pinansin instead she close her eyes and sleep. It was dark when she woke up, ramdam niya ang sakit ng ulo kaya't dahan dahan siyang naupo her eyes roam around the room. No sign of Cloud anywhere and it's a relief for her.

"Ano bang nangyayari sakin?"

Dahan dahan siyang bumaba sa kama at nag lakad palapit sa pinto, she unlock the door and went outside it was dark and quiet still no sign of Cloud tumungo siya sa kusina upang uminom ng tubig but something sticking on the fridge caught her attention it is a note from Cloud.

'I didn't know what I did to upset you so much, I'll be in my Condo and in the bar just text me if you want to see me. I left some take out food to your likings, happy eating babe.'

Hindi niya maiwasan ang mapangiti habang binabasa ang note Cloud is sweet and caring compared to her cold and savage personality muli niyang dinikit ang note sa fridge at lumapit sa lamesa her mouth watered instantly when she saw a bunch of food on the table.

"Ilang take out ba ang in-order niya?"

She sat on the chair and notice another piece of paper, naka patong iyon sa plato.

'I don't want to upset you but I don't know what you want to eat so I ordered take outs from your three different favourite places to eat.'

Malakas siyang napatawa habang binabasa ang note ni Cloud sa kanya naiiling na nilapag niya iyon sa lamesa at nag simula ng kumain after eating she felt so satisfied and full matapos ay nag desisyon siyang maligo she doesn't want to went out tamad na tamad siyang kumilos.

It was almost 10 but she's still sitting on her sofa watching a movies malakas siyang umiyak sa pinapanood niyang Mr bean animated it was supposed to make her laughed but here she is crying her eyes out. Mabilis niyang kinuha ang phone at tinawagan si Cloud isang ring lang ay sumagot kaagad ito making her relieved.

"Hey, Why are— what the hell? Are you crying?"

Diane sniff and burst into tears, halos hindi na siya makahinga sa kakaiyak.

"I was watching a movie! And it was so sad!" She said sniffing. "Can you come here? Bumili kana din ng Pizza na walang sauce."

"A what?"

Diane pout she's craving of pizza pero ang gusto niya walang sauce dahil para siyang nasusuka iniisip pa lang na kakain siya ng Pizza na may sauce ay bumabaliktad na ang sikmura niya.

"Pizza na walang sauce! Come before 10:30 or else no s*x for a month!"

Hindi na niya hinintay ang sasabihin ng binata she ended the call and covered herself with the comforter sobrang lakas kasi ng AC niya na tinodo niya kanina ngunit ngayon ay tinatamad na siyang tumayo at hinaan.

"Ano bang palabas to!" Inis niyang wika habang nag pupunas ng luha. "It was supposed to be funny!"

She took her phone when it light it was Keana asking her to meet tomorrow she agreed and read Cloud's message next.

'Where on earth would I buy a Pizza without sauce?!'

It was exactly 10:30 when the door open and Cloud walk in holding a box of Pizza in his hand.

"Finally!" Maarte niyang wika she immediately stood up and run towards Cloud.

Cloud assumed that Diane would hugged him but she just took her Pizza and walk back to the sofa muli niyang binalot ang katawan sa comforter she opened the box of Pizza and indulge the food.

"Don't open the lights!"

Cloud sighed in annoyance, bumalik nanaman ang sakit ni Diane na kamalditahan syndrome nag lakad na lang siya palapit sa sofa at naupo pinag masdan niya si Diane na maganang kumakain habang nanunuod. Her eyes were fluffy red it's swollen from crying maybe the movie is indeed heartbreaking.

"Is it good?"

Diane nodded and wipe her mouth with a napkin.

"Damn good, saan mo binili 'to I can finish it all kaya huwag kang mang hingi."

Cloud chuckled, "Wala akong balak mang hingi."

Diane rolled her eyes, hindi na lang niya ito pinansin at nag patuloy lang sa panonood till it's past midnight.

"Are you sleeping?" Tanong ni Cloud, hindi kumibo ang dalaga dahan dahan siyang tumayo at lumapit dito she is indeed sleeping.

Napangiti na lang siya habang nakatingin da cute na cute na dalaga, para itong pagong na nakatago sa bahay niya dahil ulo lang ni Diane ang nakalabas. He carefully took her in his arms and carried her to her room, dahan dahan niyang nilapag ang dalaga sa kama at binalot sa comforter he carefully wipe her lips and smile puro pag kain kasi ang paligid non.

"Good night Sas..."

Nang maiayos ang dalaga ay muli siyang lumabas upang ayusin ang mga naging kalat nito pinatay niya ang TV at hininaan ang AC para siyang nasa Alaska kanina pag pasok but he couldn't complain. Kalat kalat ang nga balat ng chichirya sa sahig a can of sodas and candies.

"What was she thinking?"

Binuksan niya ang box ng Pizza and to his shock it was indeed finish tinapon niya ang lahat ng kalat at nag walis he even wipe the table before walking to the kitchen tambak ang hugasan doon na pinag kainan ni Diane kanina pa. It was all a mess but he didn't complain and cleaned everything then he went inside Diane's room mahimbing na mahimbing na ang tulog nito so he went to the bathroom to take a quick bath habang nasa ilalim ng malamig na tubig ay bumalik sa kanyang ala-ala ang sinabi ng ina.

"Let's cancel the wedding, I know how selfish am I to force you in to this all I want what is best for you and I thought it was the best for you not knowing how will you feel about it."

Cloud sighed and nodded.

"I didn't want the wedding..."

"I know so I want to cancel everything and let —"

"I didn't want it at first."

Tila nawalan ng boses ang kanyang ina sa narinig his eyes were sparkling while remembering Diane and everything.

"So don't worry about the wedding Mom, you can cancel it that's fine. I want Diane to marry me because she wants to marry me not because we need to be married for convenience."

"Are you in love?" Eksaheradang tanong ng kanyang ina.

Ngumiti lang siya sa tanong nito, he don't know himself either in love nga ba siya? He doesn't know he is indeed attracted to Diane's personality and charm but love? He don't know.

But upon watching her and being with her he realizes everything, he is indeed in love with that woman and he will eventually make her fall in love with him.

"What's with the face? Did you cry all night?"

Diane pout hindi siya kumibo instead she took a sip to her juice, wala siyang ganang kumain she wake up with a massive headache and vomited everything she eat last night.

"Anyway I just want to apologize if I offended you in anyway last time, it's not my intention Diane I was just worried."

Diane nodded. "I know I was just overreacting everything, sorry din medyo masama lang pakiramdam ko."

Keana nodded and smile she's been meaning to talk to her ever since Diane left her office without saying a word.

"Are you okay? Namumutla ka yata?"

Diane nodded and smile.

"I'm good kulang lang sa tulog." Pag sisinungaling niya lies she overslept Everytime and it was frustrating.

"You should see a doctor baka mamaya buntis ka."

Diane frost malakas naman na natawa si Keana sa naging reaksyon ng dalaga she knew Diane well alam niyang imposible iyon.

"What? It was a joke!" Natatawang wika ni Keana. "Anyway I think we should get going, hinihintay na ako ng triplets I promise them a mall."

Diane blink numerable times and nodded, sinabi niya kay Keana na mauna na itong umalis as she wants to stay and finish her food.

"Are you sure? I mean I can still wait."

"Nah, I'm good. Umalis kana our babies are waiting for their momma."

Keana chuckled and nodded, tumayo ito at inayos ang mga gamit then she kiss her cheek and bid goodbye.

"I'll see you later."

Diane gave her a smile and wave her hands to her, ng makaalis si Keana ay saka lamang siya naka hunga ng maluwag her hands travelled to her tummy.

"It's just an assumption Diane it's nothing." She said an took out her phone to do a research. "Vomiting, sudden dizziness fatigue..."

Diane frost, mariin niyang kinagat ang labi at lumingon sa lalaking nag salita sa kanyang likuran.

"Hi baby!"

"Puwede ba Lash? Kung puwede lang naman I don't have the time to entertain your craziness!"

Lash chuckled making her more annoyed than before.
