Tears of the Unwanted Wife

Ava's POV I thought life as a spouse would be easy, especially when you love your partner so much. I thought everything would change as days, months, and years passed. I thought I would learn everything by doing all I could just to be seen and loved. I thought life would be happy, especially living under one roof together. But it was all just my imagination. In the early days, I dreamed of a life shared with my beloved, a home filled with laughter and warmth. I believed love would smooth every rough edge, that time would heal and transform all our flaws. I gave my all trying to please, to be noticed, to be cherished thinking that effort alone would make everything perfect. But until now, I still don't know. Days turned into months, months into years, and the house we lived in became a place of quiet moments and small fights. The love I thought would be a bright flame flickered sometimes and I realized that marriage is not just a fairy tale. It is a journey of patience, of learning

Ava's POV As soon as I stepped into the bar, the changing lights from the disco ball hit me. The bouncers didn’t ask me anything because they already knew I was friends with the owner. I just shook my head because the place was still packed with people.. it’s a famous bar, after all. This wasn’t my first time here. Even before I got married, I used to come here often with Eva and other friends. Inside, the music was loud, and the lights flashed in colors of red, blue, and green, making the crowd move like a wave. The air was thick with laughter, chatter, and the clinking of glasses. The bouncers, big and serious, just nodded at me as I walked past, no questions asked. They knew me, and I felt a little proud of that. The bar was always full, night after night, with people dancing, drinking, and having fun. It was a popular spot in the city, and everyone wanted to be here. I looked around and saw familiar faces.. people I had met before, some I had shared stories with. I remembered t

Ava's POVI went home last night tipsy. I didn't think about my husband anymore because for sure, he doesn't think about me as well. He looked so happy together with his colleagues especially the girls. They were so happy together as if he didn't have a wife. Luckily, he didn't see me and gladly, I was able to control myself not to get near them and gave him a word. That he has a wife and flirting with some girls in front of me was cheating. Pero sino nga ba ang niloloko ko? Na kahit siguro mag-wild ako sa harapan niya ay hindi niya pa rin ako papansinin pag-uwi rito sa bahay. At tiyaka hindi ko rin alam kung may nakakakilala nga ba sa'kin na mga katrabaho niya... ni hindi nga niya siguro sinabi sa mga empleyado niya na may isang Ava na nagdadala sa apilyedo niya at naghihintay palagi sa bahay na pansinin niya."Ma'am, magandang umaga po," bati sa'kin ni Manang Rica. She was smiling so brightly so I did the same thing to her and then near her. "Kamusta ang off mo, Manang? Did you en

Ava's POV The night came and Alton really went here with himself and with his smirk on his face. I shook my head as I took the box from him and as he took the folder from me as well. "Alton De Asis, hindi sa lahat ng panahon nandito ako para tulungan ka. You have to work on your own as well, don't forget that part," naiiling na sabi ko at sinuntok siya sa braso niya pero parang wala lang sa kaniya 'yon dahil sa laki ba naman ng katawan. He was wearing his brown tuxedo with a white long sleeve inside and brown pants paired with black shining shoes. Mukhang kagagaling niya lang sa kompaniya. "Ate, I was really trying my best okay? You don't need to nag at me. At tiyaka, Dad was also helping me," he retorted while caressing his nape. I sighed defeatedly, "I told you that you have to bring me back in work so that I can help you with the papers and sales. You don't have to carry that luggage on your own." "Ate, kahit ako, gusto kong bumalik ka," nag-alala niyang sabi. Nagtaka naman

Ava's POV"Bantayan mo muna pamangkin mo, Alton, pupuntahan ko na muna ang asawa ko," mahinang bulong ko sa kaniya na siyang agad niya ring ikinatango bago ngumiti. Huminga ako nang malalim bago tumayo ulit kahit ang sakit-sakit na ng paa ko.I walked towards Al's direction while the woman he was with was still clinging onto him as if she was some kind of.. sticker. I was carrying my encouragement with me and my little confidence."Al," I called him. He turned his head towards my direction and I saw how he stiffened until his brows met. The woman he was with faced me too with a question look on her face. "What are you doing here?" Really? He was asking me that kind of question? The family's only daughter, the one who hosted this banquet and the milestone they were celebrating? His wife on papers and the father of my child? Really?"Oh, Mr. Del Rosario, who is she? She looked.. extravagant tonight. She was wearing a.. gown?" Hindi ko alam kung anong gustong ipahiwatig ng babae pero hi
