Married to the Runaway Bride

Chapter 45- The Furious Janine

Galit na galit si Janine dahil ilang araw nang hindi sinasagot ni Wyatt ang mga tawag at text niya. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit pati si Wyatt na kilalang playboy at flirt na panay liberated na babae ang gusto ay nahuhumaling sa walang kadating-dating na Tamara na iyon na asawa ni Mikel. Janine is desperate to win Mikel back, at gagawin niya ang lahat, matupad lang ang nais niya na ‘yon. Even to the point of using Wyatt to her advantage.

Patuloy niya na tinatanong ang sarili niya, what is it with Tamara? Ano ang mayro’n sa babae na mahirap na iyon at nakuha niya ang dalawang Lucero? Losing Mikel hurt her, but losing Wyatt as well, because of Tamara, irks her the more. And there is nothing that she wants more than to hurt Tamara at tuluyan na tanggalin siya sa landas nila ni Mikel.

Alam niya at nakikita niya kay Wyatt na hindi lamang basta pagkakaibigan ang nais nito kay Tamara. She can see it in Wyatt’s eyes, at kahit hindi niya matanggap iyon ay mas ayos na rin, kaysa si Mikel pa ang tuluyan na mawala sa kan’ya.

Wyatt is good in bed, but Mikel is good in everything. Ayaw ni Janine na sa isang walang plano sa buhay siya babagsak. Kaya tinikman man niya si Wyatt, at nagustuhan man niya ang naging pagtitikiman nila na iyon, it is still Mikel that her heart desires. She is prepared to live like a queen with Mikel, and she won't give up that dream. And Wyatt will be the answer to her concerns.

She is calling Wyatt because she wants to share her plans. Wyatt can have Tamara and she can have Mikel. It is a win-win situation for the both of them. Pareho nila na makukuha ang mga tao na gusto nila. And maybe one last night for the both of them bago sila tuluyan na magpakasaya sa piling ng mga tao na mahal nila.

Yes, she is liberated and wants freedom, and she comes to resent Mikel because of his many plans for their lives and the many restrictions he imposes on her. Wyatt is an easygoing, go with the flow type of man, and that's what she enjoys. Kaya nangyari ang isang pagkakamali na hindi niya ninais.

Wyatt is like a drug to her na nagpapabaliw sa kan'ya. But when Mikel married that low-class woman, mas lalo siya na nabaliw sa kaalaman that she lost him. And she realized that she may have lusted only for Wyatt, at hanggang doon na lang iyon. Ang puso niya ay patuloy na bihag ni Mikel at hindi siya papayag na iba ang may hawak ng titulo na Mrs. Mikel Lucero. That title is hers and hers alone.

But then she got some shocking news: the b***h is pregnant. Kumukulo ang dugo niya sa kaalaman na iyon. Bakit nagawa na buntisin ni Mikel ang babae na iyon, pero sa kan’ya ay ingat na ingat si Mikel noon? Mikel always has inhibitions about her, kailangan na makasal na muna sila bago sila magka-anak. Everything is planned, at pati ang buhay niya ay na-plano na ni Mikel.

And she doesn’t want that. Heck, honestly, she doesn’t even want to get pregnant, pero ngayon na buntis si Tamara ay naiinis siya at hindi siya nabuntis noon mga panahon na sila pa ni Mikel.

Mikel is living freely at this moment. He is able to live now without any of his plans. At mas lalo na nagwawala ang pagkatao niya sa katotohanan na ngayon, si Mikel ay nagagawa na mabuhay kahit na hindi parte ng plano niya, pero noon sila pa ay kailangan niya na maki-ayon sa mga plano nito kahit hindi niya nais.

She tried calling Wyatt yet again, and as expected, he still didn’t answer. Nawawalan na siya lalo ng pag-asa na makukuha pa niya ang simpatya ni Wyatt, at hindi malayo na hindi siya nito tulungan. Wyatt cares for that b***h, at sigurado siya na hindi kaya ni Wyatt na saktan ang babae na iyon.

Both men are fools and stupid for loving that woman. Ginto na nga siya, pero mas pinipili pa ng magpinsan ang tanso. Kung hindi niya magagamit si Wyatt, she needs to think of a back-up plan. Isang plano na tuluyan na maglalayo kay Mikel sa babae na iyon at sa magiging anak nila. She cannot allow them to have a family and be happy. Hindi maaari na maging masaya sila habang siya ay patuloy na lumuluha at nasasaktan.

She is selfish and she knows that. And she doesn’t care at all. Mas nauuna pa rin ang pagmamahal niya sa kan’yang sarili kaysa sa iba. Kaya ang kasiyahan niya ang prayoridad niya. And she can only be happy with Mikel and no one else.

All she needs is a plan. A plan that will make Mikel come running back to her. Pero anong paraan? Pagtunog sa telepono niya ang pumutol sa pag-iisip niya ng plano. At nang makita niya na si Wyatt ang tumatawag ay agad siya na napangiti. Sinasabi na nga ba niya na hindi pa rin siya matitiis ni Wyatt. He will still come running back to her.

"Hi, loverboy." bati niya kay Wyatt.

"What do you want, Janine?"

"You. I want you." She knows that she needs to flirt and seduce Wyatt para mapapayag niya ang lalaki sa mga nais niya. And even if it means having s*x with him, she is up for it. After all, Wyatt doesn’t disappoint in bed. She wins in both ways.

"Cut the crap, Janine. Marami akong ginagawa, kaya puwede ba, sabihin mo na kung bakit ka tawag nang tawag."

"Why are you so mad? Dati naman ay gustong-gusto mo kapag tinatawagan kita." Janine doesn’t like Wyatt’s tone, pero wala siya na magawa. She needs to play his game, para masiguro niya na tutulungan siya nito.

"I’m busy with work and you’re playing around, Janine." Wyatt is exasperated, and all the more that Janine wants to stress him out. When he’s stressed, Wyatt looks for s*x, and Janine will be all too willing to give in provided he returns the favor and plays along with her plans to separate Mikel and Tamara.

"Tamara is pregnant.” Silence came over Wyatt on the other line. At alam na alam ni Janine na apektado ang lalaki sa balita na iyon.

"I know. Sa tingin mo hindi makakarating sa amin ang balita na iyon? We’re cousins, Janine, at ang pamilya ko ang unang-una na makakaalam sa mga nangyayari sa buhay nila."

"Aren’t you jealous?" She is provoking him, but Wyatt won’t bite the bait.

"Why would I? I don’t want responsibilities, Janine, and you, of all people, should know that. Bakit ko gugustuhin na maging ama agad, when I can play around?"

"They’re starting a family together, Wyatt."

"What do you expect, Tamara? Talagang magsisimula sila ng pamilya dahil nagpakasal sila. That's what getting married means, starting a family." Pagpuputol pa ni Wyatt sa sasabihin niya.

"I can’t let them." She is pushing Wyatt’s buttons, pero nagkakabaligtad ang lahat at siya ang nagagalit imbes na si Wyatt. She is furious that even Wyatt now seems to be letting the two live their happily ever after.

"You can’t do anything, Janine. Whatever you do, you can never be Mrs. Lucero just as you wished."

And that statement from him made her furious even more. How dare he?! "f**k you!"

"Sorry, sweetheart, sawa na ako sa’yo. Thank you for the offer, but I’ll pass."

Sobra ang pagkapahiya na nararamdaman ni Janine sa mga oras na ito. She is furious and livid. Ang kapal ng mukha ni Wyatt na sabihin sa kanya ang mga bagay na sinabi nito. "You’re an asshole, Wyatt! Ang kapal ng mukha mo!"

Tawa lang ang isinagot sa kan’ya ni Wyatt, kaya naman mas lalo na nagwawala ang poot sa puso ni Janine. "Wala ka na ba na ibang sasabihin? I’m busy, Janine. Go find someone else to fuck."

"You, asshole, listen to me. She will never like you. Tamara will never love you. At hindi ako duwag na kagaya mo. Go on and continue to lie to yourself. Tingnan ko lang kung saan aabutin ang pagka-martir mo sa babae na mahal mo. But I am warning you, Wyatt. I won’t stop unless she’s out of my life. I won’t stop unless she’s out of Mikel’s life."

"You’re crazy, Janine. Why don’t you move on from Mikel. Ayaw na niya sa’yo, the same way that I don’t like you anymore."

"Shut the f**k up, Wyatt." Sobra-sobra ang galit ni Janine kay Wyatt at dahil sa sinasabi ng lalaki sa kan’ya ay mas lalo ang galit na nararamdaman niya para kay Tamara. "I’ll kill her, Wyatt. I’ll f*****g kill her if I have the chance. And when I do, it won’t be just Mikel who’ll come running back to me, kung hindi pati ikaw. Pero sisiguraduhin ko, that you won’t ever get to taste me again dahil si Mikel lang ang gusto ko at hindi ikaw!" She hung up the phone after saying that.

How dare he make her feel inferior to Tamara?! How dare he say those things to her?! And because of her rage, her evil mind is plotting something against Tamara. Something that she never expects but that will make her leave Mikel for good.
