KABANATA 008

PAGLABAS ko sa shower ay wala ng Uncle Hugo sa kwarto kaya iniisip ko na lang na nasa sala lang siya. Nang tinungo ko ang kama kung saan nakalagay ang mga damit na suot ko kagabi ay bumungad naman sa akin ang isang maliit na sticky notes sa kama. Binasa ko ang nakasulat sa papel at hindi ko man lang namalayan na nakangiti na pala ako. Para akong kinikiliti.

‘WORE THE DRESS, BABE.’ - HUGO

Inamoy ko ang papel at naamoy ko ang mamahalin perfume na naamoy ko sa loob ng buong kwarto. Hindi lang ‘to air freshener kundi mismong perfume talaga ni Hugo. Kinikilig talaga ako habang inamoy ang maliit na papel.

“Bakit ba ako kinikilig sa handwritten niya? Nababaliw na ba ako? Baka epekto lang ‘to sa nangyari kagabi," nakangiting sabi ko.

Dinampot ko ang puting box na nasa kama at binuksan ‘to. Bumungad naman sa akin ang isang emerald green dress. Plain but ELEGANT. I loved it. This kind of dresses is my type, and green is my favorite. Alam ba niya na gusto ko ang ganitong klaseng d

    They went to the nearby hospital. Veronica seems a little bit nervous, Little Berry was still young and she just turned one year old. Hugo held her hand and comforted her. “Alam kong wala pa sa plano natin ang sundan si Little Berry, but if it's positive, I apologize in advance." He said and bowed his head. "If ever I am positive, I will gladly accept it, Babe. We just got so busy with our work and other activities that we sometimes forget to — you know… taking contraceptive,” tumango naman si Hugo bilang pagsang-ayon. “Yeah. But still, I should be the one responsible since you're so busy. Next time, ako na ang gagamit ng contraceptive para hindi ka mahirapan.” Bahagya naman napangiti si Veronica sa sinabi ng asawa. "Yes. Tama ‘yan. Mahirap maging babae, at least, you guys should take the contraceptive for us. Pregnancy. Giving birth. Taking care of the child. Everything. Plus stress, postpartum depression, etc. I will be glad for you to take it in my stead.” Veronica sa

    Lahat sila ay natahimik sa sinabi ni Veronica. She was talking about what happened to her in the past few years. She had a trauma dahil sa ginawa sa kanya ng mga taong obsessed sa asawa niya. Mahigpit naman n hinawakan ni Hugo ang kamay ng asawa. Nararamdaman kasi nito kung ano man ang nararamdaman ng kanyang asawa. She looked at him smiling and just brushed it off. "Don't mind what I'm saying. It’s already in the past, so I’m leaving it there. However, I have a few words to say before this interview ends," she said, signaling Vivian. "Live your life to the fullest. Don’t end up becoming bad because of jealousy, envy, or hatred. Choose yourself and be a better version of you. And don't let obsession rule over you." Matapos niyang sabihin ang mga salitang iyon, tumayo si Veronica at nag-bow sa mga tao bilang pag-respeto at pasasalamat sa mga ito. "Let’s go!" Hugo said as he held her hand. "Vivian, we have to go now. Thank you for this night," Hugo whispered to her. Tum

    Mas lalong naghiyawan ang mga tagahanga ni Veronica nang lumabas mula sa audience si Hugo na may dalang bulaklak para sa asawa. He was stunning as ever. Hugo is a famous car racer kaya marami rin ang nakakakilala sa kanya. Veronica was stunned and confused, wondering what Hugo was doing on stage. And why did the announcer introduce him to the people? Ang alam lang niya ay may event, pero hindi siya sinabihan kung anong klaseng event ito — basta ang alam niya, malaking event ito at isa siya sa mga models. She's an ambassador of Purisca Bags Design; however, she insisted on walking since she missed the stage, kaya pumayag si Miss Purifica. “What are you doing here?” nagtatakang tanong ni Veronica kay Hugo nang makaupo na ito sa tabi niya. “To surprise you,” he said, sabay abot ng bulaklak sa asawa. “Thank you sa flowers, pero hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ba meron ngayon at may pa-ganito. I’m so confused,” she said nervously. “Tita told me something special will happen tonig

    Sa event naman, hindi mapigilan ni Veronica ang kabahan. Hindi na bago sa kanya ang kaba, pero ito ang unang beses na aapak siya sa isang malaking stage sa France. May mga celebrities, singers, sikat na personalities, at mga model na makakasabay rin niyang rumampa sa stage. She was overwhelmed by the crowd cheering for them. She even heard her name being called, as if the audience was waiting for her turn to walk on stage and hype it up. Veronica represented her favorite brand. As a Purisca Ambassadress, she wore her favorite custom-made outfit for tonight, with the highlight of the night—the Purisca Bag Design. "Are you ready?" Madame Purifica asked Veronica backstage. "Yes, Ma'am. I'm a little bit nervous," she replied. Purifica tapped her shoulder and cheered her up. "Have you heard the crowd? They're calling your name. Go hype the stage like a beauty queen," Purifica said as she opened the curtain for her entrance. Tumango si Veronica at pinakinggan ang hiyawan ng crow

    Weeks passed, Veronica and Hugo, together with their daughter, went home. Cathy and Xander were still in Germany. May kailangan pang ayusin si Xander tungkol sa pamilya niya at para na rin tuluyan na silang magsama. Pagbalik ni Veronica sa mundong kinasanayan at kinalakihan niya, buong tapang siyang humarap sa media upang ipaalam na siya ay magbabalik sa pagmomodelo, at bilang isa ring ambassador ng Purisca Design. Masaya ang lahat sa kanyang pagbabalik. Lumago na rin ang kumpanya nila ni Cathy, at kahit may mga pagkakataon na mahina ang sales ng kanilang mga produkto, bumabawi naman agad sila. Veronica didn’t waste any time. She was dedicated to her work. “Ma’am V, flowers for you,” wika ni Lizzy habang inaabot ang isang bouquet kay Veronica. Napangiti naman si Veronica dahil muli na naman siyang nakatanggap ng bulaklak mula sa asawa. Dahil sa kanyang trabaho ay naging abala siya—panay ang alis upang dumalo sa mga fashion show sa iba’t ibang bansa. Her presence meant ever

    THIRD PERSON POV Nasa kwarto ang mag-asawang Hugo at Veronica. Habang nanonood ng telebisyon, napatitig si Veronica kay Hugo na nakatuon ang mga mata sa TV. Hindi nito namalayan ang mga matang nakatitig sa kanya, hanggang sa maramdaman na lang ni Hugo na may mga matang nakamasid sa kanya. “Babe? Is there something wrong?” tanong ni Hugo habang humarap sa kanya. Ngumiti si Veronica at hinawakan ang mga kamay niya. “Pwede kang bumalik sa racing field, Babe. You don’t have to stop racing just because you want to focus on us and the company,” sabi ni Veronica. Napatigil si Hugo. Kumunot ang kanyang noo, nagulat siya kung bakit biglang sumagi sa isip ng asawa ang ganoong bagay na pinag-uusapan naman na nila ang bagay na 'yon. “Bakit mo nasabi ’yan? May bumabagabag ba sa ’yo?” tanong niya, habang nakatitig sa mga mata ng asawa na para bang hinahanap ang kasagutan. Veronica nodded. "No. Wala naman, Babe. I just realized how much you love car racing, and I love modeling. We both
