Kabanata 40: The Proposal

“THANK YOU...” mahinang sabi ni Renese kay Zoren matapos siya nitong abutan ng malamig na tubig.Kasalukuyan silang nasa loob ng sasakyan ni Zoren. Sampung minuto matapos umalis ng ama ni Renese ay nagyaya na siya sa asawa na gusto nang umuwi kaya naman dinala siya ni Zoren sa sasakyan nito ngunit hindi pa rin nito pinapaandar ang sasakayan.“Are you good now?” Zoren asked calmly.Renese nodded. “Yes, but...” she trailed.“But?”Tumingin si Renese sa labas ng bintana. Marami na ring mga sasakyan ang pauwi. Napansin niya rin na ang iba ay tila nag-aabang ng taxi.“I still don’t want to go home...” sabi ng dalaga nang hindi nakatingin kay Zoren.“Hmm, then do you have a place in mind?” tanong muli ng asawa.Umiling siya. “My only comfort zone is my condo unit,” aniya.Kapag malungkot, masaya, naiinis, nag-iisip, at iba pa si Renese, condo niya lang ang palaging takbuhan niya dahil walang nakakakita sa kaniya. Walang media na maaaring mag-broadcast at gawan ng issue ang nararamdaman niya

Kabanata 41: Assurance

PAGKAGISING ni Renese kinabukasan ay ang unang amoy agad na pumasok sa ilong niya ay ang amoy ni Zoren na humahalimuyak sa kwarto nito.Soft morning light enters the room from the window. Dahil sa liwanag na iyon ay napansin niya na naman na sobrang linis ng kwarto ni Zoren. Kulang na lang ay pwede nang manalamin dahil sa kintab ng mga furniture na nandito. Malayong-malayo sa kwarto niya doon sa unit niya.Hindi na mabilang ni Renese kung ilang beses na siyang natulog dito, pero ang alam niya lang ay kapag natutulog siya sa silid ng asawa ay sobrang sarap ng tulog niya.Pagkatapos niyang gawin ang morning routine niya ay lumabas na siya ng kwarto. Halos madaling araw na silang nakauwi kagabi dahil masyado nilang na-enjoy ang gabi sa gitna ng dagat.They talked about life, and most importantly—they agreed to take this marriage seriously. If their relationship didn’t work out within a year, they could file for an annulment, even if the five years they originally agreed upon hadn’t passe

Kabanata 42: Indirect Confession

PAREHONG hindi mapakali si Renese at si Zoren habang nakaupo sa backseat ng sasakyan papunta sa mansion ng mga Kensington. Renese was visibly anxious because she knows what her mom looks like when she’s mad. While Zoren, on the other hand, was trying to remain composed but was secretly nervous as well. “Hindi pa ‘ko handang mamatay. My mom would definitely kill me for hiding something big from her!” Renese ranted. Zoren chuckled. “You’re exaggerating, wife. Relax. Your mother can’t kill you. I’m your husband. She’ll kill me first.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m serious!” “And so am I,” he insisted. Pagkatapos ng halos isang oras na byahe ay nakarating na sila sa mansion. Muling bumalik sa alala-ala ni Renese ang natagpuan niya sa lugar na ‘to nung isang gabi. Her heart suddenly ached, but she brushed it off her mind. Nung gabi ring iyon ay niyaya niyang tumira muna ang ina sa condo niya or siya ang titira sa mansion upang may kasama ito at hindi masyadong nag-alala pero hindi puma

Kabanata 43: Past and Present

“HINDI mo naman kailangang magsinungaling para hindi sumama ang loob ni Mommy, Zoren,” seryosong saad ni Renese ilang minuto matapos umandar ang sasakyan.Kakaalis lang nila sa mansion ng mga Kensington. Nagmamadali rin kasi ang mommy niya dahil may flight pala ito papuntang Switzerland para magbakasyon mag-isa at para makapag-isip. Nag-insist siya na samahan ito, pero hindi ito pumayag—mas gusto raw nitong mag-isa para makapag-reflect sa mga nangyayari sa buhay nito.“What?” nakakunot noong tanong ng asawa. Si Zoren na ngayon ang nagmamaneho dahil ang driver nila kanina ay driver ng mommy niya na sinundo lang sila.“I’m talking about what you said to my mom, Zoren. Naniwala siya sa mga sinabi mo,” nag-aalalang aniya.Realization registered on his face. “Oh, when I said that I love you? Well, I wasn’t lying, wife.”“You, what?” Renese.Zoren smiled. “Lahat ng sinabi ko kay Tita Roxanne—totoo lahat yun, baby. I love you.”Tila nawalan ng kakayahan si Renese na huminga habang nakatingin

Kabanata 44: Unmasked

“THINK about it, Renese. I don’t know him well, and you don’t either. Be careful of whom you’re trusting...”Iyon ang huling sinabi ni Hadley kay Renese bago ito tuluyang umalis sa salon na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nawawala sa isip niya.Her chest was so heavy. Alam niyang hindi dapat niya paniwalaan ang mga sinabi ng babaeng iyon sa kaniya. She’s the ultimate villain in her life! ‘Tsaka imposible ang lahat ng sinabi nito sa kaniya. There’s no way she’s going to believe all of that!“What’s wrong, wife? You’re so quiet,” puna ni Zoren sa kaniya habang nagmamaneho pauwi sa bahay nito.She didn’t look at him. Ang mata niya ay nanatili lang sa labas ng bintana. Inabot na sila ng gabi dahil masyadong napatagal ang pag-pamper ni Renese sa sarili niya.“Nothing. I’m just thinking,” she responded.Hindi na rin ito sumagot na para bang tinatansiya ang mood niya. Tahimik lang silang dalawa hanggang sa marating nila ang Vista Height Subdivision.Renese was about to go upstairs when Zoren

Kabanata 45: Possessiveness

“ANOTHER Bacardí Gold, please,” Renese calmly ordered to the bartender once again, who immediately obeyed.She’s quietly observing the ice slowly melt and mix with the Bacardí in the rock glass. She was composed. No crying and no drama, but she’s clearly hurting. She was just there sitting calmly in front of the bar counter, letting the pain go numb.Maingay sa paligid pero mas maingay ang mga tumatakbo sa isip ng dalaga. She keeps drinking not to forget, but to silence her thoughts.“You’re too calm, Rera. I think that’s scarier than crying,” Shoelie remarked. Umiinom din ito ng alak ngunit hindi siya nito pinapakialaman, which made Renese silently thank her.“I’m fine...” Tumungga siya ng iniinom na alak. “You know what’s funny, Shoe? Someone can break you without even touching you,” she said and chuckled like an idiot.“You love him, don’t you?” she questioned.Renese laughed weakly. “Love him? I don’t know,” she lied.Of course, she knew! She had fallen in love with her husband, b

Kabanata 46: His Vulnerability

“LET GO of me,” utos ni Renese kay Zoren kasabay ng pagtulo ng luha nito. “You’re not my husband. You’re not my Zoren.” He froze upon seeing those tears stream down his wife’s cheeks. He feels like someone splashes him with cold water, which makes him come back to his senses. Zoren’s grip on her face loosens, and his hands fall away as if burned. Fuck him! Did he just make his wife cry?! Was he the reason for those tears? “Wif—” “Don’t. Don’t call me that,” mariin nitong turan na mas lalong nagpadagdag sa takot niya. ‘Iiwan niya na ba ‘ko?’ tanong niya sa sarili. Damn it. Look at her. He broke her heart just because he couldn’t control his own selfishness and stupid jealousy. Worse, he hurt her physically! Marahil ay dahil na rin sa nainom niyang alak kaya siya umakto nang hindi nag-iisip. Napigilan niya naman noon ang sarili niya nang makita niya kung paano hawakan at makipagtawanan si Elian Velden sa asawa niya noon sa charity gala, pero ngayon ay talagang nandilim ang paning

Kabanata 47: Surrender

“ARE YOU sure about this, baby? I don’t know if I can still control myself once we enter that room,” Zoren asked her, voice thick with desire and affection. She nodded and kissed him fiercely. “I’ve never been this sure in my life, Zoren,” she answered. Kasalukuyan silang nasa harap ng pinto ng kwarto ni Zoren. Nakapalibot ang binti niya sa bewang nito at ang braso naman sa batok nito habang hawak ni Zoren ang likod niya para hindi siya mahulog. Halos paliparin na nito ang sasakyan kanina para lang makarating kaagad sila sa Vista Height Subdivision. Hindi rin siya sigurado kung nasara ba nila ng maayos ang pinto sa baba sa sobrang pagmamadaling makaakyat. Hindi niya maitatangging humanga siya kay Zoren nang magawa pa rin nitong magtanong sa kabila ng pagnanasa. Upon hearing her answer, Zoren immediately opened the door and shut it using his feet like a light striking the ground. The lights of the room are dim, casting a gentle atmosphere in the room. Zoren gently placed her on the

Kabanata 48: Person Behind

“BAKIT hindi mo kaagad pinakilala ang sarili mo sa’kin kung matagal mo na pala akong kilala?” mahinang tanong ni Renese kay Zoren habang hinahaplos ang tattoo nito sa dibdib na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya makapaniwalang ginawa nito. Nakaunan siya sa braso ni Zoren habang parehas na walang saplot sa ilalim ng makapal na kumot. She closed her eyes when he gently combed her hair with his fingers. “Because I think it still wasn’t the right time, wife. I didn’t want to scare you. If I told you everything from the start, you would’ve run away from me and called me a creep,” sabi nito. “But all this time, you were watching over me?” she asked. “Always, even when you didn’t know.” Renese winced. “And you think that wasn’t creepy?” pangbabara niya rito na ikinatawa naman ng binata. Ano’ng nakakatawa? “I know what you’re thinking, wife. I’m not a stalker, all right? More like...” Hinawakan nito ang baba na para bang nag-iisip. “More like a very concerned guardian angel.” Renes

Kabanata 49: Facing the Enemy

NANGINGINIG ang kamay na binaba ni Renese ang phone niya pagtapos niyang kausapin si Franky na pinaliwanag sa kaniya ang lahat ng nalaman nito sa pag-iimbestiga.Zoren was standing behind her while rubbing her back to calm her down.“Calm down, wife. I’m here. Relax,” Zoren said.She shook her head and held the edge of the table tightly. “I can’t calm down. Nag-aalala ako na baka si Dad... baka may mangyaring masama kay Daddy,” bulong niya.Hindi siya natatakot para sa sarili niya. Natatakot siya para sa daddy niya. Kahit naman kasi may hindi pagkakaunawaan sa kanilang mag-ama ay hindi niya pa rin naman mababago ang katotohanang tatay niya pa rin ito. Magalit man siya rito, tatay niya pa rin ito. Magunaw man ang mundo, tatay niya pa rin ito.Hindi na niya kailangang magtanong kung anong motibo ni Lilithas para gawin ang lahat ng ito sa kaniya. It was because of the sole person—Ravisse, Lilithas daughter with her father.Lilithas also blames her for Ravisse’s death, just like how she b
