Dreams Lie Beneath

“They are obviously my children” usal ni Juancho kay Orelia. Natigilin ang babae at naibagsak ang inaayos na mga bulaklak. ”Ano ang ibig mong sabihin?Ni hindi nga kita kilala!” iwas tinging depensa ni Orelia sa lalaki at agad niyang itinago ang dalawang bata sa kanyang likuran. “Hmm, hindi nga ba ikaw yon? But why do these children have my face then?” paninindigan ni Juancho. Pilit na nagpapakita ng matapang na mukha si Orelia, desidido na siyang hindi masangkot sa lalaki matapos ang isang gabi ng pagkakamaling iyon. Mamamatay muna siya bago niya hayaang mapasakamay ng lalaki ang kanyang mga anak. “Or would you rather have me let you remember what transpired that night,” usal ng ni Juancho sabay ng pag haplos sa mga labi ni Orelia gamit ang kanyang daliri. “Don’t touch our mom you bad guy!” biglang pumigitna ang batang babae at pilit na itinulak si Juancho. Nakasunod rito ang takot na batang lalaki. Laking gulat ni Orelia sa biglaang kilos ng mga bata kaya hindi niya napigilan ang agarang paghawak ni Juancho sa mga ito. Handa na siyang itulak ang lalaki at bawiin ang bata nang nakita niya ang mga mata ni Juancho na nakatitig sa kambal, ang malamig at walang emosyon nitong mga mata ay napalitan ng lambot. Ito ay mga matang matagal niya ng hindi nakikita, ang mga matang minsan ng nagpapabilis sa tibok ng kanyang puso. Saksihan ang mainit, matamis at masakit na relasyon ng dalawang mag kaibang indibidwal mula sa magkasalungat na estado ng buhay. Ang kanilang katapusan ba ay magsisimula sa ligaya o patuloy na magbabadya ang paghihirap sa kanilang mga buhay?

“Fine,” I heard myself say, the word tasting like rust. “You want an open marriage? We’ll do open.” A slow smile curved his mouth—victory, not warmth. “Good girl.

I was not expecting to pick the wrong man to marry even after I had a chance to redo my life. In my previous life, I chose to marry James Howard, my then fiance. But he cheated on me with Verde Sala, a fake heiress, for three years. They even had a child together. For her sake, he broke my legs so that I would hand over my role as the principal dancer to her. This time, I chose to marry Elwood Howard, James’s uncle. I thought that this meant that I had escaped my fate and could fulfill my dreams, but on the day the principal dancer was supposed to be picked, I got into an accident again. After learning about this, Elwood sent Verde to jail, even if it meant offending all of the powerful people in the city. I was touched and thought that I had made the right choice in this life. That lasted for five years until I heard Elwood’s conversation with our son. “Dad, Verde said that you only married Mom so that you could provide a letter of forgiveness as the victim’s family. “Since Verde is out, could you divorce Mom? I want Verde to be my mother.” Upon hearing that, Elwood remembered my trust in him and shook his head. “No. I’ve betrayed your mother by destroying the evidence and giving Verde a new identity to avoid being indicted, so I’m going to make it up to her for the rest of her life. “She will always be my wife. Don’t ever say such things to your mother and make her sad.” The pain from before could not compare to the pain in my heart at that moment. Our marriage was just a scheme to protect Verde? Elwood only loved Verde? And my son was the same? If that was the case, I did not want Elwood anymore. Nor my son.
