MasukNakasalubong ko si Hail na nakapambahay lang. Tumaas ang kilay ko.
"You don't have a meeting or something?" I asked him.
Nakangiti siyang umiling.
"I miss having fun with you, hon. Let's date before fetching them," malambing niyang sambit.
Umikot ang mata ko nang talikuran siya at binalingan ang anak.
"Eros, your promise. No more accidents, honey. You don't want Mommy to worry, right?" sim
"I am still madly in love with my husband but I couldn't let him ruin my name even though he's now gone. I got cheated on. I was left for someone else. He made up stories to taint my name. And even with the love for him, I gained courage to speak for myself. To speak in front of you as a wife who got betrayed by the person who vowed to me in front of the altar. I want you to know my truth." I sniffed.I pushed the play button and let the press see what Tyron compiled to clean my name. All truths were there."Here's my truth. I am no longer going back to modeling after this. This issue drained me so much that I think I couldn't vibe with the camera again without remembering how trampled I was even with my innocence and pain. I am leaving the entertainment world. The case is in progress. I didn't do anything against my husband aside from loving him too much and caging him to me for a year. Wala akong kinalaman sa pagkamatay niya. I am innocent
Naramdaman ko ang pag-angat ng katawan ko. I felt him settling himself on his bed that I've been occupying for a week. He rested himself on the headboard and fixed my position. Para akong isang bata, nasa pagitan ng hita niya ang aking hita at nakahiga sa kaniyang malapad na dibdib ang kalahati ng aking katawan.Hinaplos niya ang aking buhok, hinihele akong matulog."Y-you're not working?" I asked drowsy."Hmm."His humm and his calm breathing is giving me peace, somehow."Why?""I need to be here for you," mababang aniya.I closed my eyes as pain tugged my heart. He's doing a lot for me now, huh? But why am I unsatisfied? Why am I still looking for something else? Someone else?Human heart is pretty chaotic when in love. Dumb. Stupid.He's always here beside me. Taking care of me and our kids. I
Nag-uunahang tumulo ang luha ko. When Led said that, ang sakit ng pagtama noon sa dibdib ko. I always knew her as someone who will not frankly tell you anything. Dadahan-dahanin niya para hindi masakit sa kung sino ang kaharap niya ang katotohanang sasabihin. Ngunit ngayon... walang dekorasyon ang salita niya. Diretso at ayaw paawat.Nauubos ko na ba ang kanilang pasensya?"Don't force her too much. Her mental health right now is at risk," ani Tyron sa likod ko.Faith scoffed."We just want her to take a step forward for herself! Ano? Magkakaganiyan na lang siya sa lalaking niloko, iniwan at siniraan siya para lang maging maayos ang kasalanang ginawa nila noong babaeng 'yon?!""I'll talk to her and persuade her about that once she's fine," Tyron relied.Inilapag niya sa harap ko ang gatas. I looked at him with my eyes clouded in tears."E
I took off the blanket from me. Kahit hubad ang buong katawan ay naglakad ako at kumuha ng isang kape roon sa coffee corner at nagtimpla.Nagtungo ako sa isang wingback chair at umupo roon. Humigop ako at ang init na dumaloy sa aking lalamunan ay tinatabunan ang aking mga isipin.I heard a tsking behind me."You're drinking coffee again, Avaya," sita niya gamit ang namamaos na boses.Nilingon ko siya at nginitian ng tipid."Marami lang akong iniisip," dahilan ko.I heard his heavy sighs. Hating gabi na ngunit gising pa ako at nagising ko pa siya."Is it him again?" he asked."About him again."Mula sa likod ko ay umikot siya sa aking harapan. Ngumuso ako at napalunok na lamang. He sat in front of me, both knees are strong to handle his elbows resting there, with tousled hair framing his face
Sapo-sapo ko ang pisngi kong tinamaan ng sampal ngunit namanhid lang iyon at sa halip, ang pisikal na sakit na dulot noon ay naging emosyonal na."W-what are you saying?" I trembled."I think you should leave now, Eve. Give my son a respect," it was his father who said that.Lalo akong natigalgal. What is this all about? I killed Hail? I asked someone to kill Hail? How could I do that when I love him?"I'm his... w-wife," I uttered, trying to make a point.Ryker went to me. I don't know where did he came from but he immediately went to my side."Uncle, Auntie, she's innocent. She won't do that," pagtatanggol niya.Lalo akong nanghina. So, they all think I killed him? Suspect ako sa pagkamatay ng sarili kong asawa?"Who will do it, huh? That woman told us that Eve is ready to kill the both of them the first time they w
Kaniya-kaniyang balingan lahat sa aking gawi. I didn't show any emotion at all. Sanay ako sa media pero hindi ko gusto ang 'di nila paggalang sa asawa ko. They could've just waited."Eve! Anong masasabi mo sa pagkamatay ng 'yong asawa?""He was caught with a woman and a child at patungong airport, is it true that they're about to leave the country in secret?""Eve, totoo bang hiwalay na kayo ni Hail Willbourne?"Hindi ko iyon pinansin kahit gustong-gusto kong magbigay ng opinyon. I wanted to lie for Hail."He was shot and killed. Totoo bang may kinalaman ka roon?"Natigilan ako sa paghakbang. Nilingon ko ang reporter. Mataman siyang nakatingin sa akin. They flocked beside me the guards made sure they wouldn't lay a hand on me."Mrs. Sarmiento said you're the only one who can do that in order to stop your husband from leaving you, is that
