The Evil Wife Chapter 10
Nagbunga ang gabing iyon, dalawang taon na ang nakalipas. Ang akala ko ay isang simpleng suspension lang ay nauwi sa kamalasang tumangay sa akin papunta sa buhay na impiyerno—papunta sa buhay ko ngayon.True, the past can't be undone, yet what is coming is better than what is gone. It's not late to use my head more wisely. Ah, did I just indirectly admit that I used my head less?Ipinilig ko ang aking ulo. I pushed myself to stand up. Usually, when I wake up, I feel like I am just letting the hands of the clock take me to bed again when darkness comes. Since I moved here, no single day that I anticipated the sun to shine.These past few days are too gloom, empty, boring, lifeless, name it. But today is another day. Not another day of doing the same annoying routine, but another day with a new life to offer.Halos liparin ko ang pintuan at tumalon mula sa barandilya ng palapag pababa sa first floor. Napakahaba pa naman ng hagdanan ng bahay na ito, aksaya sa oras. Kung tutuusin, mayroon

Nangyari ang hinihintay ko. Malakas na tumunog ang censor ng boutique nang lumabas ang stepmother ko na nakahawak ng handbag at dalawang paper bag.Tumingala siya, bumaling-baling sa paligid. The innocence in her eyes pushed the evil smile appear on my lips. Nang lumapit ang isang guwardiya sa kanya ay kitang-kita ko kung paano bumilog ang mga mata niya. Her shocked expression brought joy to my heart, especially when the manager, Mrs. Sandara, approached.Dahil medyo malayo ako ay hindi ko nasundan ang usapan. Lumapit ako at tuluyan silang narinig."I'm sorry but we need to inspect you, Ma'am," the manager apologetically said. "Kilala ko kayo at sa tingin ko ay hindi naman kayo magnanakaw, but the censor won't lie.""Fine." Ramdam ko ang frustration sa tinig ni stepmom. "Hindi naman ako tatakas. I will prove my innocence."Isa-isa niyang inilapag sa inspection area ang lahat ng hawak niya. Her body got scanned. As what I already know, the item is not hidden in her clothes.My vision m

"Marunong akong manuntok."Hindi ako makapaniwalang iyan ang tatlong unang salita na lumabas sa bibig ko, sa dinami-rami ng p'wedeng sabihin sa mundo.This taxi I am in is heading to a direction I never cared to learn about. Ngunit gaano man ako kahusay sa geography ng Pilipinas, alam kong wala itong maitutulong sa akin ngayon. Ni hindi ako mapagbuksan ng pinto ng anumang karunungang mayroon ako.I should've learned physical self-defense instead.Naikuyom ko ang kamao ko. "Masakit ito," walang-kuwenta kong dugtong. I know myself how stupid it is. I know.In the rear view mirror, I can clearly see the driver's pair of eyes. Umangat sa akin ang paningin niya bago muling ibinalik sa daan."Sapat ka nang kabayaran sa akin, Madam," aniya bago tumawa sa paraang nakakadiri sa pandinig.Naglumikot ang mata ko. Muling lumiko ang taxi at ibang eskinita na naman ang aming binabaybay."If you think it is funny, stop it. Kung may nakakatawa man dito ay walang-iba kun'di iyang pagmumukha mo," asik
The Evil Wife Chapter 13
People often say that they better die when they face a struggle they couldn't seem to overcome, or a tragedy that seems too impossible to endure.Life won't give people the challenges that are bigger than their power to overcome it. We may have limited capabilities, but we have unlimited determination. Perhaps, in my own point of view, when people think of giving up, that is because they lack of purpose.Setting a purpose or goal in life will be our drive to finish this longest ride. Think of it as a fun run. Life is a journey of fun and obstacles. In the process, you have people, you have the beauty of the world, yet when no one stayed, you are left with no choice but to take the run by yourself. You need to be stronger. You need to fuel your drive. Visualize the finish line, and it will be appearing before you could even notice it.I didn't fear death until it almost came. I realized that death is not something you could wish when life gets hard. Therefore, it's okay to fear death.

Learning is an ongoing process, a path that we should take throughout eternity. We have so much to learn, and a lot of ways on how to be able to do so.Ako, nakasanayan ko nang mag-self-study. I prefer knowing things than letting other people tell them to me. Ayaw ko sa spoon-feeding, I strive to gain knowledge. Consequently, a lot of people wishes to be like me.Whenever I achieve something, like garnering an award that raises the pride of my school, it is announced in the official page of the school. In there, a sea of comments shows me how much people want to be me.'How to be you po?' is the most common phrase I am receiving from strangers. But in the case of the people who know me or to the ones who think they do, they may not directly ask it, but I know they are saying, 'How to be not you, Heather?'I never asked that to myself, until a particular day came. Really, how to be not me?It was more destructive than a volcanic erruption, more painful than failed promises, worse than

Napangiti ako nang makita ang umuusok at mukhang masarap na ulam sa ibabaw ng lamesa. I didn't have enough time to learn for another recipé so I made a sweet meat once again. I failed in the first try. I followed the same procedure, but this time, with the correct ingredients.Kumuha ako ng kutsarita at tinikman ito. Like what I perceived, it tastes good. It tastes like a sweet meat, thank you very much."Manang, the breakfast is ready. Tell Lord to come over."Agad namang tumalima si Manang Ymir. Narinig ko pa ang nga yabag niya paakyat ng hagdan bago ako dahan-dahang umupo at napatingin sa blangkong upuan ng asawa ko.Asawa ko.That sounds really weird and unrealistic. Sa isang katulad kong never nagkaroon ng love experience, everything is having a hard time to sink in.Last night, with his half-closed eyes and hoarse voice, he asked me to remove his coat for him. I obliged. Nang makahiga siya, tinanggal ko rin ang medyas niya at ang pang-itaas niyang damit. I made sure to make him

I was watching "The Wild Child" on TV when I was notified that our grades for the first semester is finally posted online.I opened the student portal. I wasn't in a hurry because I am confident of what I will see, plus, I am strangely not in the mood. It's just that I already want to take a screenshot of my straight-1.0 grades—which indeed was the results—and brag it to my cousins. Surely, they don't have the same perfect grades as I have.Yet as soon as I confirmed that my assumption is correct, my vision turned blurry and my head started to turn. I fainted. I was sent to the hospital by the maids. When I woke up, mom is beside me, her face reflected a tender worry. From that very moment she already knew the truth, but she didn't say a thing about it.Unlike my father, mom never showed how upset she was when I got pregnant by accident. But I know, she was disappointed more than any other specie ever existed. No, she wasn't disappointed at me, but with how fate smartly played with us

Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang nakatitig sa ika-pitong pahina ng magazine na hawak ko.Top Business Trends magazine issues articles about different companies or businesses every other two months, and this copy I have in my hands was released yesterday. Lord handed it to me this morning and told me that it is what they had been doing for days.La Villamorés' Real Estate Agency is the subject of TBT magazine's May and June issue. I am proud of Lord, yes, and this achievement almost made me tell him how proud I am. But, of course, I'm not going to let myself do that. Masyadong mahal ang papuri ng isang Heather Cassia.Every page is making me smile, until I flipped it on the seventh page where Bridgette and him are portrayed both. It is stated in here how good their partnership is. It includes narratives on how and when did they start to work together, the challenges they encountered and how they were able to face them, their achievements for over two years, and there's a single subtopic
