Chapter 64
In the middle of the chaos we are facing, I decided not to ask him anything about the photo I saw. I trust Lionel so much at alam kong hindi niya kayang gawin sa akin iyon. Alam kong hindi niya kayang makipaghalikan sa ibang babae. We love each other so much, and I believe in him.
So instead, I got the phone number tracked. It was an unregistered number. At kung sino man iyon, I think that someone is tailing my husband. At kung hindi ako nagkakamali, baka ay tauhan iyon ni Alejandro. I can’t believe him. He’ll really go this damn far.
Pero kung… si Lionel nga iyon…
“Hey there, beautiful,” Lionel greeted when he saw me at the airport. Nakangiti ko siyang sinalubong ng yakap at halik. I miss him so much kaya hindi ko pinalampas ang oras at minabuting sunduin siya sa airport. Sabi

“It took me a while to pass the guards, Cha. Your husband got you heavily secured, huh? Mabuti at lumabas si Ate Lorie para bumili ng gamot mo, or else… magkakaproblema kami.”Nagngitngit ang ngipin ko sa galit dahil sa narinig. “Huwag kang mandadamay, Alejandro. A-Ano ba talagang gusto mo?” buong tapang kong tanong sa kabila ng nanginginig kong katawan.But suddenly, he went even closer and held my leg that made me move farther away, kahit siksik na siksik na sa headboard.I have to show him that I am not scared of him. Pero… hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko sa panginginig. Lalo na nang makita ko ang pagkasa niya sa baril na hawak.Is he… going to kill me?“Haven't I told yo

“At wala man lang sa inyong nakaalam?!” My voice thundered and it startled everyone in the room. If only I didn’t hear my wife’s silent shriek, I wouldn't have stopped scolding these men!Fuck it.I gritted my teeth and breathed heavily, trying to calm myself a bit even though I know I couldn’t.“Go. Guard the house and keep in touch kung ano nang nangyari at kung nakita a ba si Alejandro. I want him jailed as soon as possible!” mariing sambit ko at saka sila tinalikuran. I can’t believe they didn’t noticed that pig going inside the house!At nang makatakas si Alejandro, no matter how much I want to run after him and kill him right now, my wife is more important. She needs me now more than anything.

“Are you sure about this, son?” tanong ni Daddy Charles habang nasa labas kami ng villa.I’ve spent the night here because of my wife’s request. Hindi rin ako sigurado kung hahayaan ko pa siyang dumalo sa libing ni Sandra pero alam kong hindi siya papayag na hindi makapunta.And now, I have to leave immediately and gather Kuya River’s men as well. He needs time to mourn and take care of their son hanggang sa ilibing si Sandra kaya naman… ako na ang unang gagalaw para mahuli na ang kriminal na iyon. And even though I know where he is, I wouldn’t want things to be easy. I want him to beg on his knees because what he did is unforgivable.“Sigurado po. Hindi ko gusto ang ideyang wala pa rin siya sa kulungan matapos ang ginawa niya sa asawa ko at kay Sandra,&rd

“Do you know anything else?” tanong ko kay Vincent habang nakatitig sa cell phone ni Aaliyah at binabasa ang mensahe ng kanyang ama sa kanya.At habang ginagawa iyon, hindi ko mapigilang maawa sa bata. Alejandro is blessed to have a child. He’s blessed to have a daughter like her. Pero hindi pa siya nakuntento. Why in the world did he want my wife? I get that he likes her, but I never realized that it’ll be to this extent.Unless, there are deeper reasons. But whatever they are, it will still be invalid.“Iyan lang. Kailangan mo ba ang cell phone?” tanong niya.Kaagad akong umiling at saka ibinigay iyon ulit sa kanya. I’ve read enough.“Aalis na ako. That’s all I need to k

That morning, hindi na ako nagulat nang muling magpaalam si Lionel para umalis. He was like that throughout the whole week. Umaalis nang maaga at umuuwi minsan sa gabi o kaya naman ay madaling araw. But there are days when he doesn’t come home at all.Minsan nga ay umuuwi nang madaling araw galing sa ibang bansa nang hindi namin nalalaman. Even though I know that he’s with Kuya River, I can’t help but get worried every time.He thinks that leaving me here in Carles would make me feel at ease and slowly recover from the incident. Pero ang totoo, mas naghihilom ang lahat ng sakit sa tuwing narito siya. Him staying beside me through those painful days did all the job. At sa totoo lang, mas malaki ang naging impact sa akin ng pagkamatay ni Sandra kaysa sa pagtangka ni Alejandro na pagdukot sa akin. And it made me even scared for my husband.

“Are you craving for something? Do you want anything in particular? May nararamdaman ka ba?” tanong niya habang naglalakad kami sa may airport. Napatawa na lang ako dahil magmula nang malaman niya kanina ang tungkol sa pagbubuntis ko, hindi na siya magkandaugaga sa pag-alalay sa akin. Sobrang saya ko nang mag-positive ang tatlong pregnancy tests at hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala hanggang ngayon. Pero dahil sa reaksyon ni Lionel, sobrang saya ko na totoo ang lahat nang ito. “Are you sure you don’t want anything?” tanong niya nang umiling ako. Kaagad akong napatawa dahil bakas na bakas ko sa kanya ang pagkataranta. “Wala talaga,” sambit ko habang hawak ang kanyang kamay. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’m really alright.”

They say that before people close their eyes, they tend to remember the most beautiful thing that happens to their lives.But no matter how much I’m afraid to die, I don’t think I can still… make it.“Lionel… Lionel, please, wake up!” I stared at my beautiful wife as she cried so much. The last thing I want to see is her shedding tears. Dahil sa tuwing nakikita ko siyang umiiyak, it always felt like I failed my duty as his husband.It always reminded me of those days when I was an ass to her. It always reminded me that until now, I’m still not satisfied dahil pakiramdam ko’y kulang pa ang mga ginagawa ko para makabawi sa kanya.“Hala! S-Sorry, akala ko walang tao!” sigaw ni Katherine at kaagad isinar

I did shit the next few days. Umuuwing madaling araw tapos aalis na ulit, I go to bars often, meet few ladies and mess with them in a way we both know. Umabot pa sa puntong ginawa ko iyon… sa bahay mismo.Alam kong napakatanga ko, pero wala akong pakialam. I can’t take Katherine off my mind, and I know that I have to! Kaya lahat ginawa ko para maalis siya sa sistema ko. Pero alam kong palagi ko siyang makikita kaya minabuti kong ituon ang atensyon ko sa iba.But unexpectedly, one night, she… saw me doing it with another woman in our very own house.Fuck, I’m so screwed up.“Katherine?!” sigaw ko nang makita siyang tulala sa amin. She looked stunned. Subalit ang gulat ay napalitan ng takot nang
