Nang matapos ang dinner ay nagpatianod si Aurelia palabas ng bahay ng mga Andrada. Hindi nya pananaisin na mag-stay pa sa bahay na iyon ng matagal, hindi sya makahinga sa loob. Para bang may nakadagan sa kanya na hindi nya mawari
Nagmamadali sya sa paglalakad nang may humila sa braso nya. "Sakay na, ihahatid kita." Si Xavier at pinapasok sya sa sasakyan nito. Habang nasa loob sila ng sasakyan nito ay wala syang kibo at nakatingin lang sa labas ng bintana. "Crying won't help you out." Inabutan sya nito ng panyo. Pahablot na kinuha ni Aurelia sa kamay ni Xavier. Hindi pinansin ni Aurelia ang mga sinasabi ni Xavier hanggang sa mapansin nya na ibang daan ang tintahak nila. "What are you doing?" nagtatakang tanong ni Aurelia na naguguluhan. "You like my brother? Yeah?" tanong nito sa mapanuksong tono. "Yes! I will do everything to get married to your brother. Hindi ako magpapakasal sa'yo." She looked at him with a firm tone. "If I need to seduce to him, I will do it!" firmly said, her voice is filled with determination to get Samuel. Then his car stopped at a night café. "Look over there." plainliness is stained on his tone. She did look on her right side, there she saw Samuel and Glea sitting on a table. Samuel is holding on Glea's hand. Her heart sank. Tears race down from her eyes to her cheeks. She bit her lips to prevent herself from crying out loud. This is bullshit Glea! Why? Just why? Thought we're friends? I thought you're going to help me? Thoughts of pain flash inside her mind. When she saw Glea coming out of the café, she avoided her head and told him to drive. Aurelia and Glea's eyes met each other. Shocked painted on Glea's face when they stared at each other. "I can't do this shit." She cried to herself. "This is so cruel." she said in a defeated tone. She tried to keep herself calm, but tears keeps falling from her eyes. "See? I'm not the only one who's doing dirty things." Xavier laughs. "Your best friend and your dream man also." He laughs at his words. "Shut up! Shut up! I don't have time for your shit." she mouthed with heavy feelings. She doesn't know what to do anymore. "It's still early. Let's go somewhere else to ease your pain." He drove thirty more minutes then they finally arrived at a mall. There's still a lot of people inside. "What are we doing here? For fuck's sake I'm breaking down." she said sarcastically while wiping her tears with his handkerchief. "You like malls, come on." Then he leaves the car to open the door beside her. She went to the fountain where she always let her time pass. "Let's have a deal." he said in a serious tone. "Christ leave me alone," she said irritably. "Ano ba kasi 'yon? Bilisan mo na!" pasigaw nyang sabi sa lalaki. "Let's pretend. Mag pretend tayo na we love each other." Suhestiyon nito atsaka umupo sa tabi nya. "Ano naman benefits sa akin nyan? Aber?" mataray na tanong nya. "Simple lang naman benefirs noong offer ko. Prebihilisyon sa pera ko. Access sa mga bangko ko." Sumandal ito sa sandalan ng bench. "Be the perfect trophy wife." sabi nito sa mapanuyang tono. Naramdaman ni Aurelia ang pag-gapang ng kamay nito sa likod nya. Inilapit nito ang bibig sa tainga nya. "Just imagine being the wife of Xavier Andrada." He chuckled on her ears. "You have no choice, darling." sambit nito sa mapanuksong boses. "I can't wait to see you on my bed. That would be great, isn't?" Tanong nito tsaka hinalikan ang kanyang balikat. "Fuck you!" Itinulak nya ito tsaka naglakad ng mabilis palabas ng mall. Naririnig nya ang bigat ng mga yabag nito na naksunod sa kanya. Panic went inside her body. Pabilis ng pabilis ang kanyang paghakbang. Hahakbang pa sana sya ng isa pa nang may humila sa kanya at ipinasok sya sa women's comfort room. "What are you doing? Are you insane? Let me out of here." sunod-sunod na sabi nya. Xavier stand still as if hindi sya naririnig nito. When he step forward to her, she quickly did the opposite thing. Mabilis na tumakbo papasok sa isang cubicle si Aurelia, tinutulak nya ang pinto pa sara ngunit tinutulak naman ito ni Xavier pabukas. Sa huli ay hindi nya nakayanan ang lakas nito. Nakapasok ito at ni-lock ang pinto ng cubicle. "What are y–" hindi na nito natapos ang sasabihin nang sakupin ni Xavier ang mga labi nito. »»————> 𝑥𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑟 <————«« I pressed Aurelia's body against mine as I pressed my lips to hers. "Xavier......" Aurelia called my name while she's trying to push me. "Damn, those lips are so sweet." I chuckled and kissed her cheeks, down to her jaw, to her neck. A soft low moan escaped her mouth. "Ahhh.... Xavier....." Rinig kong tawag nito sa pangalan ko. "Just moan, baby." I said with a pure seduction. "I'll just plant kisses on this delicate neck." I reached for her dess. "No..." She held my hand trying to prevent me from pulling her dress up. "Don't worry this will be nice," I whispered to her ear before biting her earlobes. My hand reached for her panties. I slid my hand to her panties and started massaging her core. "Ahh...." Another soft moan escaped from her. They heard someone enter the room. "Shhh..... They might hear your soft moans." He saw annoyance on her face. I positioned my fingers to her core. "No, don't do it." She warned me, but didn't listen to her little command. »»————> 𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎 <————«« Xavier slid his two fingers inside her. "Fuck..." She mouthed to him. Hindi nya mailabas ang ungol na gusto nyang ilabas dahil may iba ding tao na pumasok sa cubicle. She's so bothered, while the fucker seems to be unbothered. In fact his slowly thrusting his fingers inside her. Napakapit na lang sya sa damit nito ng mahigpit na mahigpit.Nakatulala ako ngayon sa upuan ng isang restaurant, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Nakatitig lang ako kay Lita na busy sa pag-asikaso ng pagkain namin Tuwing nakatingin ako dito ay naaalala ko ang hirap ko noong limang taon na ang nakalipas.Nakatulala akong naka-upo ngayon sa isang thai resrtaurant kasama si Lita. hindi ko alam ang nararamdaman ko, tila hindi ko mawari kung ano ba ang dapat. Napatitig ako sa babaeng nasa harap ko. Kapag inayawan ko ang trabaho na ito ay magiging pabigat ulit ako dito kagaya ng dati. Ayoko na ulit mangyari ang bagay na 'yon. Sa totoo lang nahihiya na ako dito. Mas malaki ang binabayaran nito kesa sa akin, dahil katulong lang naman ako ng tita nito sa kanilang karinderya. Tuwing nakatingin ako dito ay naaalala ko ang hirap ko noong limang taon na ang nakalipas.5 years ago..... Nang makarating ako sa airport ay agad akong nagmadali. Ayaw kong maabutan ako ni Xavier dito sa airport. "Hello, Ary, nasaan kana?" Nag-aalalang bungad ni Glea sa ce
5 years later..... Huminga si Aurelia ng malalim matapos nya maipasa ang kanyang resume online sa gusto nyang pasukan na kumpanya. Limang taon. Limang taon na syang nandito sa Thailand matapos nyang umalis sa piling ng asawa nya. Nang malaman iyon ng kanyang mga magulang ay itinaboy sya ng mga ito. Hindi sya sinuportahan ng mga ito sa desisyon nyang pag-alis kahit pa nag paliwanag sya sa mga ito. "Aly, are you okay? Is there something bothering you?" Tanong ng half-thai and half-american nyang kaibigan at roomate. Lita is a good roomate. "Yeah, it's just that I remember something." Paninigurado nya dito na okay lang sya. "I cooked hot pot," sabi nito sa masiglang tono at may ngiti sa labi. "Lita, thank you. For everything." Pasasalamat nya dito sa pag-tulong sa kanya. "No worries, you're welcome. Very welcome." Tsaka ito bumungisngis ng tawa. "What time are you going to get your application form on Wednesday? Shall we go the same time?" Pagatatanong nya dito habang kumukuha n
12 months later…… .»»————> 𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎 ————««Aurelia and Xavier decided to take the shot of their marriage. They have been living like a normal couple for the past twelve months. Today is their first wedding anniversary. She’s been preparing for a nice dinner with him. Dinner time has arrived and he hasn't come home yet. She kept waiting for him. She even dressed nicely so they can take a picture and show it online like they always do on their monthsary. Tonight is different, he has never been late to their dinner. Naghintay sya ng naghintay, naupos na ang kandila sa lamesa at lumamig na ang mga pagkain ay wala pa rin ito. Bumuntong hininga na lang sya at ibinalik na sa fridge ang cake na siya ang nag-bake. Paakyat na sana siya nang dumating ito, pagpasok nito ay agad siyang nilapitan at akmang hahalik kagaya ng palagi nitong ginagawa pag-uwi. Nag-iwas sya ng ulo nang hahalik na sana ito. “Kumain kana,” walang gana niyang sabi bago pabalang na isinara ang pintuan ng pridyide
Day of the wedding. This day should be memorable not irritable. Weddings should be a happy event, but for her it's completely the start of a hellish journey of her life. She's crying not because she's happy, she's crying because of sadness. She's walking down the aisle with a heavy feeling. She feels like she wants to run away and get the hell out of there, but she can't. She can't disappoint her parents. The ceremony started, until they exchanged their scripted and unwanted vows, to end of the ceremony where the groom should kiss the bride."And you may now, kiss the bride." Pagtatapos ng pari sa seremonya ng kasal nila. Itinaas ni Xavier ang kanyang belo bago sya binigyan ng magagaang dampi ng halik sa labi nya. Magaan iyon kumpara sa huling halik na pinagsaluhan nila. "Hello Mrs. Aurelia Andrada." Nakangiting tawag nito sa kanya, ngiting aso lang ang ibinalik nya dito. "Back off," naka ngiti pero may pagpapahiwatig na sabi nya dito tsaka tumingin at ngumiti sa mga tao sa loob ng
three days after what happened, but it's still fresh on her mind. She wants to forget about it, but she can't! She feels like she wants more of him. Fuck! This isn't her, she doesn't like him, she likes Samuel. That's what she's been saying to herself.Ever since that night she and Glea haven't talked to each other or she'll just say she told the guards and the maids not to let Glea in. She doesn't want to talk to her yet. Just thinking of what she saw always boils her blood. She grunts out of frustration, she buried her face on the pillow and let a muffled scream out of her lungs. She can't take this anymore, her wedding is in two fucking days! She wants to escape, but how? Bumukas ang pintuan ng kanyang kwarto. "Are you ready now?" Bungad ng kanyang ina. Bumuntong hininga sya bago tumayo sa kama. "Ganyan lang ang suot mo?" maarteng tanong nito. She looked at herself in the mirror. She's wearing a high waist trouser and a cropped hoodie matched with her messy bun. "What's wrong wi
