Cheating Is A Choice Not A Mistake Novels & Stories

"You will never redeem yourself by getting fucked by a stranger. Naiisip mo lang 'yan dahil lasing ka na—it's just you being so irrational. And what will happen when you're sober? You'll regret your decision at mas lalo ka lang manliliit sa sarili mo." "You're wrong," aniya. "If Brent will know that someone fúcked me which was something he wasn't able to do, then it will surely be a slap to him," giit niya rito. "No, Yvonne, you will only make him think that you are easy, and that he made the right decision to cheat on you. Because there's no way he'd stay loyal to someone as easy as you," prangkang sagot nito sa kanya.

No way! Once a cheater is always a cheater. Hindi na magbabago ang mga ito at pagod na s'yang tumiis. O malamang may masamang binabalak ito sa kanila. Naiinis s'ya dahil wala pa ring ebidensya para makapag-annul na. Kapagkuwan ay nasa hapag kainan na sila, inimbitahan niya si Helen na sumabay kumain.

Anim na buwan akong naniwala na ako ang babaeng pinakamamahal ng asawa ko. Sa bawat halik niya, bawat bulaklak na iniuuwi niya, at bawat matatamis na salitang paulit-ulit niyang ibinubulong sa akin, naniwala akong sapat na ako. Hanggang sa matuklasan kong sa loob pala ng anim na buwan, may ibang babae siyang minamahal. At ang mas masakit? Ang babaeng iyon ay ang best friend ko. Ang dalawang taong pinagkatiwalaan ko nang higit sa lahat ang siya ring walang awang dumurog sa puso ko. Kaya nang dumating si Dante Rios sa harapan ko dala ang mga ebidensyang magpapatunay sa pagtataksil ng asawa niya, nakita ko ang pagkakataong pareho naming hinihintay. Paghihiganti. Isang paraan para iparamdam k

giit ko pa bago tuluyan ng lumabas. Lagi kong pinapaalala sa sarili ko na 'cheating is a choice and not a mistake'. Pero matatawag bang pandaraya ang ginawa ko kung ganoon din naman ang ginagawa sa akin ng lalaking mas pinipili ko, kahit na nga ba walang kasiguraduhan kung pipiliin niya rin ba ako?

“You gave it because you loved him. That was your choice. And love is never stupid.” Napasinghot siya. “But it was special for me,” mahina niyang dagdag. “I waited. I trusted him.” Mas lalong lumambot ang boses ko. “And that makes you brave. Not foolish.” Tahimik ang hangin sa paligid namin. Naririnig lang ang alon at ang mahina niyang paghinga. “His cheating doesn’t reduce your value,” dagdag ko. “It only shows his character.”

mahinang saad niya. “Ang sakit mong magmahal, Zander.” Ngumiti ako nang pilit. “Never make your sexual needs and your gender an excuse. Cheating is a choice. You choose to cheat, Zander. Lahat tayo may pangangailangan mapababae man o lalaki,” giit ko. Napasabunot siya sa buhok at pabalik-balik na naglakad sa harapan ko na parang may iniisip. Kung ano man ‘yon ay masama ang kutob ko.

Dahil lang sa pagmamahal mo sa isang tao ay makakagawa ka talaga ng isang bagay na kahit kailan ay hindi mo naisip na gagawin mo. Naisip ko na rin iyan. At akala ko'y ganun lang kadali, pero hindi pala. I even question Wade about, why do men cheat? Kung ako mismo sa sarili ko ay alam kung bakit nagagawa nila ang mga bagay na iyon. And it is because, they choose to be tempted by it. And it will strengthen by the burning desire of their being. Most especially, their wicked heart. Ngayon ay naiintindihan ko na. That both cheating and being a Mistress is a choice and not a fate nor destiny.

And that's one of the most disgusting things a person can do. When someone chooses to betray or cheat, it’s not an accident or a mistake. It’s a deliberate action that shows complete disregard for the love and trust you’ve shared. The pain of betrayal cuts deeper because it’s rooted in a decision—a choice to deceive and hurt. It’s more than just a lapse in judgment; it’s a reflection of their true character, and that’s what makes it so gross, so unforgivable. No matter how much pain and hurt are part of life, betrayal, and cheating are lines that should never be crossed. Once they are, they leave scars that never truly fade.

“Bianca—” “No. Stop.” putol ko agad. “Do you know what a mistake means? A mistake is forgetting something. A mistake is saying the wrong words out of anger.” Ramdam ko ang inis sa aking boses. “But cheating on me? Sleeping with my step sister behind my back?” Huminga ako nang malalim. “That was a decision or your choice.” Hindi siya nakaimik, nakatingin lang siya sa akin. Pinag-patuloy ko ang sasabihin.

Even though they didn't end up together. "Napalaki naman kita ng m-maayos di ba?" pumiyok ang boses niya. Natigilan naman ako. Hindi ko masasabing mabuti akong tao, hindi rin naman ganoon kasama. I made mistakes in my past but I am trying to be better now. Tao lang din naman ako nagkakamali. "Until now, are you still thinking about your cheating issue? Isn't it?"
