EX Wife Epilogue
"The moment of truth has come, when fears were set aside just as when we prioritize to fight against it instead. The truth is that I have come a long way just to get to this peak that we spoke of and call success. The building that has come to witness the ups and downs in my life since coming back to this place, that from the grains of the sand and of the cement that hasn't been mixed yet into a solid foundation that we call walls and floors, into a majestic tower that now fought heights to reach the sky," I paused as I pressed my lips into a thin smile, bago magpakawala nang isang mahinang tawa. Kumawala sa buong hall ang mahinang tawa na iyon dahil sa speaker na nakakabit sa mic na aking hawak-hawak. Naglakbay ang kakaibang tunog nang aking tawa sa buong paligid. I noticed a ripples forming above the surface of the white wine that my glass contains. It was like a disturbance along the silence but rather calm and enticing. Sumasabay ito sa bawat galaw na ginagawa nng aking katawan a
EX Wife Prologue
Exelle/XiellennaMy skin looks pale, with bruises covering most of it. My eyes are red swollen as well as my lips, with wounds and dry blood on its corner.I sighed as I kept my eyes on my reflection.With a heavy heart, I brought my shivering fingers on my bruised skins and groaned when I felt a sting from the touch. I pursed my lips, silently.I should have known better and expect more things than this, that things will happen again and might even worsen. Other than being a punching bag of my ownhusband, I know it might get worsen and might lead me to death, but even my body has its own way of being a numb, ignoring the pain thathe'sgiving to me.For him, I am a worthless, pathetic, slut, and a good for nothing person. He didn't behave nor even act like a real husband to me. But I didn't gave up on him. I love him more than anything, though I didn't know
EX Wife One
Exelle"Hey. It isn't hard to say, 'thank you beshie'. Tingnan mo nga oh. Tinulungan na kita. Oh. Ayan na," sabi ko kay Samara habang nakangiti ng mapang-asar. Nasa kabilang linya lang ito habang nakikipag-usap sa akin kung anong kulay at design daw ng damit ang gusto nitong ipatahing damit.I did the finishing step for her dress by drawing a large ribbon on its waistline, tulad ng pagkakadescribe niya tungkol dito. "Hoy. Sam, bahay ang ginagawa ko, hindi damit. Walanghiya toh. Ginawa mo akong designer ng damit. Oh, ayan na. Isesend ko na lang ang picture sayo. Kaso mamaya na, huh. May board meeting pa ako. Alam mo naman na busy ako, eh." Sabi ko sa kanya na parang kaharap ko lang siya.I heard her giggled and laughed. Loka-loka talaga tong babaeng toh. Iniisip ko tuloy kung pinagtitripan niya lang ako o hindi."Hoy, babaeng unggoy na galing pa sa planetang Pluto, baka naman pinagtitripan mo lang ako? Hoy, tandaan m
EX Wife Two
Exelle"Hey," bungad sakin ni Jules nang makita niya akong pumasok sa entrance ng hall. Jules is my friend, and she's an interior designer.She was a friend of mine since high school like Sam. And like Sam, alam niya kung ano ang naging masaklap na karanasan ko sa buhay years ago. She still looks the same. Porcelain rosy skin and a perfect slim body. A figure of a real goddess. And she really looks like her mother, Aunt Juliean."Aunt Juliean! Oh my God, auntie. I missed you," I greet her with a hug habang inaasar. Bigla naman itong napasimangot saka ako kinurot sa braso kaya napaatras ako nang bahagya habang natawa."Ano~huh. Masaya ka? Masaya ka?" Sabi niya sabay kurot ulit sakin. "Kamukha ko lang si mama, pero mas maganda ako dun. Ano? Tatawa ka pa?""Baliw," sabi ko nalang ng makalayo ako sa kanya. "Oo, masaya ako. Bakit ba?"Inirapan niya lang ako kaya napatawa nan
EX Wife Three
Exelle.."You. I want you back, former Mrs. Alvez."Napaupo ako sa kama ko habang hinahabol nang paghinga. My right hand were on my chest trying to calm myself down. What was that? Bakit ako nanaginip ng ganun klaseng panaginip? That was insane. That's totally insane to really happen.Nabaling ang atensyon ko nang biglang tumunog ang aking cellphone na nakalagay sa ibabaw ng nightstand, sa tabi ng aking kama. Kung kaya’t inabot ko ito at tiningnan ang screen upang malaman kung sino ang tumatawag.Anonymous Calling."Sino naman toh?" I ask myself.If it’s someone who’s anonymous enough to call me, early this morning, then saan niya naman nakuha ang aking contact number? I thought about it and found it suspicious. I look by the side of the room and watch the sunlight at the
EX Wife Four
Exelle.."Miss Kim..."Naagaw ang atensyon ko nang tawagin ni Audrey ang pangalan ko, kaya nilingon ko ito at pilit na nginitian. My mind has been occupied since Alexis left an hour ago. Maybe just because of those things na napag-usapan namin. Those things that I never thought had happened years ago."Here are the copies of your contract with Mr. Sanchez along with the papers regarding with the proposal of Vallejo Corporation to the EXiellene Royal. I already made four copies each of the papers, in case of an emergency. Are you sick, Miss Kim?" Sabi nito sakin sabay tanong kung ayos lang ako at abot nang isang white expanding envelope sakin. I just nodded as a response.Hindi na ito nagtanong pa nang buksan ko ang envelope at tinignan ang mga files na nasa loob nito. Alam kong napansin niya ang mood ko ngayon kaya hindi na siya nag-usisa pa."How about t
EX Wife Five
Exelle . . Their eyes were on me. Looking at me with an awe. Praising me as I walk. And I guess, I really could make their heads turn. Only to me.. Man, who is she? A goddess? Haha. But she looks like one. Who is she? I don't know. Maybe a friend of Mr.Riguera. She's invited tonight anyways. Is that the owner ofEXiellene Royale? I guess so. But she looks good. Not that I mean she's only that good. But really beautiful. You know her? Yeah, she's quiet famous as the owner of the very known EXiellene Royale. You know, the hotels and resorts in America. But actyally, kilalang-kilala worldwide. Oh yeah, I remember. She's the so-called Miss Kim of that hotel and resort EXiellene Royale. Miss Kim? I think that
EX Wife Six
Exelle"H-Hans.." garalgal na tawag ko sa pangalan ng aking asawa.Hindi ako narinig nito kaya hindi na ako sumubok pang tawagin siya.Naabutan ko itong nakatayo sa veranda dito sa salas. Alas onse na ng gabi pero heto pa rin siya at gising na gising. Nakatayo lang siya doon habang nakatingin sa labas. Kitang-kita ko mula sa kinatatayuan ko ang pagdapo ng liwanag ng buwan sa buo niyang katawan.I really love this man, but I couldn't understand why he just can't love me back.I watched him silently from were I am standing, praising his whole figure and everything about him.He's wearing his white polo na suot niya kanina pagpasok sa trabaho. His messy hair looks so perfect to him.He looks like an ancient Greek god and I just can't deny that he looks so innocent and cute when he's quiet. Sana lang laging ganito na lang.
