2025-07-16 19:24:52Bert stood there, frozen, with tears streaming down his face. He couldn’t move. His feet felt like they were stuck to the ground as he watched Vangie slowly disappear from sight. He no longer knew what to do. Ever since she left, he had been waiting for her every single day, hoping—praying—that she would forgive him again. But now it was clear. Vangie hated him. Completely.
He wiped away his tears and turned to Shane, who was also staring in the direction Vangie had gone. But unlike him, Shane was smiling. She looked satisfied, even pleased, that Vangie had walked away. That lit a fire inside Bert.
He stormed over to her and roughly grabbed her by the arm, dragging her back into the house.
“Ahh! Easy, Bert!

“He’s gone?” Sheila asked. She stepped out of the house and peeked outside. When she no longer saw Bert, she turned back in. “Come on, Macy. Let’s go check on your mom.” She signaled Macy, and the two of them climbed the stairs together. They found Vangie sitting in the room just next to the staircase, clutching Joseph tightly in her arms while sobbing.“Ma,” Macy called out softly, feeling nothing but sympathy for her mother. She went to her immediately and wrapped her in a hug. “It’s okay, Mom.”Sheila sat beside her friend and gently rubbed her back. When Vangie finally calmed down, they headed to Sheila’s house for lunch. After they ate, Vangie took a shower to freshen up. They decided not to return to Vangie’s house just yet, so she could rest properly. People had already begun coming over with welcome gifts, and it was too much.“Oh.” Sheila set down a bottle of alcohol in front of Vangie and took a seat next to her.It was already evening, and Macy had gone up to the second flo

Vangie clasped her hand over her mouth the moment she saw Bert. He was staring back at her, tears pooling in his eyes. He had changed so much. His cheeks were sunken, his arms thinner. She recognized the shirt he was wearing—before, it fit him perfectly. Now, it looked like it was hanging on a hanger from how loose it had become. He hadn’t shaved in days, his beard had grown thick, and his hair was now tied at the back of his head.“B-Bert…” she whispered. What had happened to him?“Vangie…” Bert smiled weakly. He took a step toward her, as if he were about to embrace her, but Vangie raised her arms and took a step back.“W-What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice trembling. She tried to hold back her tears. Was this why it felt like someone had been living in the house? She wanted to ask, but the words wouldn't leave her throat.Bert’s brows furrowed. He looked away briefly and took a deep breath. A few seconds later, tears began to stream down his cheeks.“I waited for you, Va

Three Years Later“Agh! I am so back!” Macy said excitedly as they stepped into the airport lobby in Borongan.Vangie smiled. She stood beside her daughter Macy, moving with the flow of passengers exiting the airport.“My baby’s getting heavy,” Vangie murmured, adjusting her hold on her youngest, Joseph. He was turning two next month, but even after the long flight, he was still fast asleep in her arms.When she had arrived in Canada three years ago, she found out she was already two months pregnant. The news shocked her at first—she never thought she’d still get pregnant at forty-two. She had chosen not to tell Bert about Joseph. But in truth, the child looked so much like him. It was as if Bert had never truly left her.They returned to the Philippines to settle some property matters. They had decided to permanently stay in Canada, but before that, Vangie wanted to return one last time. They planned to sell off all their land—except for her house.Tacloban had changed a lot since Va

Vangie walked away from Bert’s farm, completely out of it. Her eyes had turned into broken faucets—her tears wouldn’t stop. She still couldn’t believe Bert had actually lied to her. She wanted to believe him. She really did. But the fact that he hadn’t told her they were together during the town festival meant he was hiding something. She wasn’t stupid not to realize that.“How could you be so stupid, Vangie? Why did you fall for it so easily? Just because he’s kind? My God! You’re a grown woman and you still got played!” she muttered to herself. She must’ve looked crazy, talking to no one, but she didn’t care. Her chest felt unbearably heavy, and she didn’t know how to lighten it.“Vangie!”She stopped in her tracks when she heard someone call her name. She looked back and saw Bert carrying Shane on his motorcycle. Her gaze quickly shifted away, and she continued walking. Her sobs grew louder from what she had just seen—Shane’s arms were wrapped around Bert’s neck.Damn it. Go ahead.

“What happened, Bert?” Lucia asked her son. They had decided to go back home first because June couldn’t be calmed down. It was better to keep Bert away from the three for now.Bert sat silently on the sofa, his head in his hands, staring blankly at the floor. He could hear his mother’s voice, but the words barely registered. His body might have been here, but his mind was with Vangie. Across from him, his parents watched him with deep concern written all over their faces.Boyong sighed. “Did you hurt Shane?”Bert quickly looked up and shook his head. “You know I’d never do that, Pa. I’ve never seen you do that to Mama—not once.”“Then what happened? Why did Shane end up in the hospital again?” Lucia asked.Bert exhaled heavily. “Vangie came to the farm. Shane happened to be there too,” he replied softly.“Did they argue?”“No, Ma. Vangie’s not like that. Shane just can’t accept that I love Vangie now.”Lucia closed her eyes tightly and took a long breath before opening them again.“D
