ログイン"Cat fight," tipid kong sagot.Bumalik ang tingin ko sa harap habang sa gilid ng mata ko ay nakita ko naman siyang nilingos ang aking gawi. May titig na kuryuso."You can't fool me," he said through gritted teeth.There's resistance on his voice as he tried so hard to stop himself from sounding aggressive."I just don't want to talk about it," binigyan ko ng katapusan iyong kaniyang pang-uusisa.He blew harsh air before I saw him nodded. Mukhang napilitan."Have you seen my phone?"He pointed at the dashboard. Agad kong kinuha iyon. I opened it. Bumungad agad ang larawan na nakunan ko kanina. I stared at it for a couple of minutes. Images of scenario earlier flashed on my mind and the pain emerge again. The pain came back with the memories of what occured."That's Beverly Sarmiento," he mumbled, sounding bewildered. N
Nagmamadali akong tumayo para pigilan iyon at halos madulas ako. Sunod-sunod ang suntok na tumama sa asawa ko at alam kong hindi ko kayang pigilan si Reon. Tinakbo ko si Hail at niyakap, dahilan kung bakit halos mahagip ako ng suntok kong 'di lang umatras agad si Reon."Fuck! Tangina!" He cursed consecutively.I continued hugging Hail. Hinahabol nito ang paghinga."I thought you're with the bastard son of yours! Narito ka pala!" ani Reon na galit na galit.Beverly shrieked which made Hail removed my hug and went to Reon to launched a punch.Natigalgal na ako sa nangyari. Bumagsak si Beverly sa sahig at nagpambuno ulit ang dalawa. She cried. Her hair was a mess. She's naked. Reon towered over Hail. He was too mad to weaken himself. Nararamdaman kong 'di siya papayag na maungusan ulit.Tinulak niya sa Hail at tumama ang likod nito sa counter dahilan para mabasa
Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, para akong binuhusan ng yelo sa pagkabigla sa narinig.Beverly Sarmiento took a step causing the knife to pressed more to her skin. I didn't falter my hold to it, I don't care if she'll die right here, right now.Nanlalabo ang tingin ko."My son is his..." she uttered again but this time, her voice cracked."He's sick and he wanted to meet his father. Reon doesn't love him nor care for him and my son...he wanted a father and I had no choice but to look for Hail."She sounded so sincere but I can't focus on that because of my own pain."And what's next, huh?" giit ko. "You needed him for your son yet you are the one who's satisfying yourself everytime you two f-fucked? Ganoon mo ginustong maging ina?""She's out of this," Hail spoke. "I still love her," he added, sounding so certain.Muli ak
"H-hon... I'll explain, please..." pakikiusap niya sa akin.Explain what? How they both managed to do this despite being committed to someone? I looked at Beverly Sarmiento. She has a husband. Bakit naghahanap pa siya ng aliw at init sa ibang lalaki? And Hail... hindi kami kailanman pumalpak sa ganoon. Alam kong hindi ako kailanman pumalpak sa pagpapaligaya sa kaniya sa kama kaya... anong rason? Bakit? Bakit ganito?I watched my husband as he eagerly took his clothes and fixed himself in front of me. Paulit-ulit niya akong nililingon na parang mawawala ako sa harapan gayong hindi ko na magawang makaalis sa pwesto dahil sa pag-iyak."There's no point explaining this to her, hon," ani Beverly na kanina lang ay takot pa pero ngayon, malamig na ang ekspresyon."Fuck you!" I seethed.How dare she call him that?"Fuck you to hell, Sarmiento!"S
Sinapo ko ang bibig, hawak pa ang lintik na envelope na sobrang kailangan niya pero nakalimutan sa pagmamadali. Why? Anong meron? Emergency sa condo?I began to remember the receptionist's words. A woman asserted that she was Hail's wife, and my husband didn't attempt to correct that. Yet, I am his wife, and I'm absolutely certain that this is my very first time being here.Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang humahakbang at nang makatapat sa pinto, parang hindi ko na gustong buksan iyon. Hawak hawak ko ang code nito. Kakayanin ko ba ano man ang makikita?Nanlalamig na ako sa dami ng nararamdaman. Sa mga naiisip. Nanalangin ako habang pinipindot ang limang numerong hindi pamilyar sa akin. The door creaked softly as it opened ajar.Summoning all my strength and courage, I focused on positive thoughts. My husband, Hail, loves me; he wouldn't be involved in something like this. Nagkamali ang babae sa front d
Hindi ako makangiti sa guard dahil lingaw pa rin ang utak ko sa pagpunta ni Hail dito sa halip an sa kompanya at sa tawag ni Tyron kanina. I showed them the envelope I am holding."My husband has a unit here. I have to give him this. He left it at home," sambit ko.Nagkatinginan sila."Ma'am, patanong po roon sa may receptionist. Hihingin po ang kompirmasyon," anito.I nodded curtly and went inside. Diretso ang tingin ko sa receptionist na may magandang ngiting pambungad."Good morning, Ma'am. What can I do for you?" she asked politely.I took a deep breath to steady myself and offered a reassuring smile."My husband has a unit here. Under Hail Willbourne. He left this at home. Nagmamadali akong sumunod kaya nakalimutan ko ang spare key na ibinigay niya sa akin."She looked taken aback by that."A
