Lahat ng Kabanata ng Our Unexpected Love Story : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

After i heared the information from Kenneth about Rhian and Gemar, i started to distance myself from them. Ewan ko ba, tuwing nakikita ko si Rhian ay sumasagi sa isip ko ang kanilang ginagawa na hindi maganda. Minsan naiisip ko na baka pinagtatawanan na nila ako dahil hindi ko man lang napapansin ang panlolokong ginagawa nila sa akin. Ano kaya ang nararamdaman ni Rhian tuwing nag-ku-kwento ako sa kanya tungkol sa panghihinala ko kay Gemar. Hindi ko naman akalain na nasa tabi ko lang pala palagi ang ahas sa relasyon naming mag-asawa. Paano nila nagawa sa akin ang bagay na iyon? Nang dahil sa unstable emotions ko ay nagpasya ako mag-take ng leave ng isang linggo, pinayagan din naman ako agad mg school head dahil tapos na rin naman ang exam week. Inatas nila kay Rhian ang maiiwan kong trabaho sa loob ng isang linggo, takang-taka tuloy siya kung anong dahilan ko. Syempre hindi ko sinabi, hindi dapat niya malaman na natuklasan ko na ang kababuyan na ginagawa nila ng asawa ko. Hindi ko

I stood in our principal's office, my hands clasped tightly in front of mine. I make sure have a determined look in my eyes, a mix of sadness and relief reflecting on my face. Her boss, Mr. Reyes sits across from me, a surprised look on his face. "Mr. Reyes, I have something important to discuss," i started the conversation. Mr. Reyes leans back in his chair, his eyebrows raised in curiosity. "Sure, Miss Mendoza. What's on your mind?"I take a deep breath, my heart pounding in my chest."I've decided to resign from my position here. Titigil po muna ako sa pagtuturo at mag-po-focus sa pamilya ko ."Mr. Reyes eyes widen in surprise. I know he had always admired me for my dedication and hard work."Janine, are you sure about this? You're one of our best teachers here ."I nod, my decision firm. "I am grateful for the opportunities I've had here, but I need to focus more on my family. My husband needs me, and I've realized that I need to make some changes in my life to be there for he

On the next evening, Gemar got home with a tired face, but i didn't ask how's his day because i know just usual, they have a lot of patient. I just prepared him a dinner, but Gemar had been quiet throughout dinner, a thoughtful expression on his face. After dinner, we sat down in our living room. "Hon, may problema ka ba? Kanina ka pa tahimik," pag-uusisa ko. "There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about," aniya. I turned to face Gemar, my eyes filled with concern. "What is it, Hon? Kinakabahan naman ako sa 'yo e." "It's about my father's business. He's been thinking about retiring, and he wants me to take over."I was taken aback. I knew how much Jack loved his current job, but i knew too how much he's been looking forward to joining the family business"What about your job? You love what you do," tanong ko ulit. Gusto man niya na manahin niya ang Modeling Agency ng papa niya ay hindi ko maikakaila na mas malapit sa puso niya ang pagiging nurse kaya nga iyon ang kinuh

After the confrontation with my husband, I decided to take some time for myself. I packed a few essential things and decided to stay with Rhian, sa condo niya for a few days. I needed space to process my feelings and to think about my next steps. Hindi sang-ayon si Gemar sa pag-alis ko pero ano ang magagawa niya kung gusto ko muna lumayo sa kanya. Hindi rin sinabi sa parents namin ang problema naming dalawa, hindi nga alam ni mama na mananatili muna ako kina Rhian pansamantala. Sana lang talaga ay hindi muna sila bumisita sa bahay, though sinabi ko na huwag muna sila dumalaw sa bahay dahil pareho kaming busy ni Gemar. Hindi ko lang alam kung kumagat sila sa dahilan ko. During my stay with Rhian, I spent a lot of time reflecting on my relationship with my husband. I considered the good times we had shared, but also the pain that his betrayal had caused. Sa ilang taon namin na magkarelasyon ay masyado na kaming maraming masayang memories together, nakakapanghinayang kung itatapon la

After 5 years "Are you done packing your things, Ava?" tanong ko nang madatnan ko siya sa kwarto na naglalaro ng puzzle sa ibabaw ng kama. "Yes, mom. Look, i'm ready for our flight tomorrow." Tinuro niya ang tatlong maliliit niyang maleta sa gilid ng kanyang study table. Matamis naman akong napangiti bago lumapit at tumabi sa kanya. "Ang galing talaga ng little princess ko." Gentle kong ginulo ang buhok niya. "Mom, I'm not a kid na. You should not gulo-gulo my hair, sige ka baka pumangit ako." She pouted. "Hindi ka papangit kasi mana ka sa akin. Sige na, you better sleep na kasi maaga ang alis natin bukas. Good night, baby." Hinalikan ko siya sa kanyang noo bago lumabas ng kwarto niya. Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas simula noong pinili kong tumakasan ang sakit na dulot ng taong mahal ko. Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas simula noong pinili kong lumayo at maging masaya mag-isa. Bukas ay babalik na ako ng Pilipinas at muling haharapin ang mga taong naging parte ng nakaraan ko. M
