Ever After Novels & Stories

“Sometimes, the wrong path leads you to the right person.” Nabuntis si Arah Cervantes ng kanyang nobyong si Adrian—ngunit iniwan siya nito at tumangging panagutan ang dinadala niya. Upang maiwasan ang eskandalo, napilitan siyang magpakasal. Ngunit hindi sa lalaking minahal niya. Kundi sa nakakatandang kapatid nito—si Edison Avelino, isang cold billionaire CEO. Isang kontratang kasal na walang pagmamahal. Isang pagsasamang puno ng distansya. Sa iisang bubong, natutunan nilang tiisin ang isa’t isa… hanggang sa unti-unting may nagbabago. Ang distansya ay naging dahan-dahang paglapit. Hanggang sa isang araw—bumalik si Adrian. Handa na siyang panagutan si Arah. Handa niyang bawiin ang lahat ng iniwan niya. Ngunit huli na nga ba ang lahat? Paano kung sa maling simula, natagpuan ni Arah ang tamang pagmamahal? At paano kung ang lalaking pinilit niyang pakasalan… ang ayaw na siyang pakawalan?

Halos muntik lang naman malunod habang lumalangoy ang kapatid ni Hadden, at para diyan, itinulak niya ako sa pool pagkatapos itali. Iniwan niya lang ako ng maliit na butas para sa hangin na may sukat na isang pulgada. Sinabi niya na pagbabayaran ko ang lahat ng doble para sa bawat pagdurusang dinanas ni Julia. Hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Wala akong magawa kundi subukan ang aking buong makakaya habang umiyak ako at pinakiusapan siya na pakawalan ako. Pero ang natanggap ko lang ay leksyon. “Hindi ka matututo kung hindi kita tuturuan ng leksyon ngayon.” Nagpumiglas ako para manatiling nakalutang, pero… Inabot ng limang araw bago naglaho ang galit ni Hadden at itinigil niya na ang pagdurusa ko, pero huli na ang lahat. “Pakakawalan kita sa pagkakataong ito, pero huwag mo nang uulitin ang parehong pagkakamali!” Namatay na ako sa pagkalunod.

Dahil sa biglaang pag-alis ni Alex sa puder ng kapatid, at biglaang pagpapakasal sa lalaking di lubos na kilala, inakala niyang mamumuhay silang tahimik at may respeto pagkatapos ng kasal. Ngunit laking gulat niya nang matuklasang sa likod ng malamig na pakikitungo nito sa kaniya ay isang lalaking sobra kung magmahal. Sa tuwing may hinaharap siyang problema, palaging asawa niya ang nauuna para tumulong, at tila kusang nawawala ang lahat ng inaalala at pinoproblema niya kapag dumarating ito. Hanggang isang araw, napanood ni Alex ang isang panayam sa isa sa pinakamayamang tao sa Asia—isang lalaking nakilala sa sobrang pagmamahal at pagmamalaki sa kanyang asawa. Sa kanyang pagkagulat, napansin niyang lalaki ay kamukhang-kamukha ng kanyang asawa! Hindi lang iyon—ang babaeng ipinagmamalaki nito sa buong mundo na kaniya raw asawa ay walang iba kundi siya!

Masaya si Eunice nang mapangasawa ang lalaking mahal niya. Kahit nahihirapan siya sa kanya, patuloy siyang umuunawa at nagmamalasakit. Ikinasal sila para sa kapakanan ng kumpanya at sa kagustuhan ng kanilang mga magulang. Tiniis niya ang lahat, umaasa na balang araw ay matutunan din siyang mahalin at tanggapin ang kanilang kasal. Ngunit nagkamali siya; mas lalo siyang nasasaktan. Mas binibigyan ng atensyon ng kanyang asawa ang dating kasintahan kaysa sa kanya. Hanggang isang gabi, laking gulat niya nang makita ang kanyang asawang lasing na nakatayo sa harap ng kanyang kwarto. Bigla na lang siyang hinila papasok. Doon, may nangyari sa kanila. Ibinigay ni Eunice ang sarili sa kanyang asawa kahit lasing na lasing ito. Pagkaraan ng isang buwan, nalaman niyang siya ay buntis. Pinili niyang lumayo. Natakot siyang hindi siya paniwalaan at itakwil ang kanilang anak. Umalis siya nang hindi sinasabi ang tungkol sa kanyang pagbubuntis. Ilang taon ang lumipas, bumalik siya, ngayon kasama ang kanilang anak. Paano kung muli silang magtagpo at ang tadhana ay magbuklod muli sa kanila? Ano ang gagawin ni Eunice? Sasabihin ba niya ang katotohanan na may anak sila, o patuloy niya itong ililihim?

It's Byenn and Alaric's 5th wedding anniversary when Alaric's first love came back. At noong gabing iyon, aksidenteng nahuli ni Byenn si Alaric sa loob ng banyo, minamasturbate ang sarili habang binabanggit ang pangalan ng ibang babae. "Byenn, nakakaawa si Reia ngayong bumalik siyang mag-isa," paliwanag ni Alaric. "Tinutulungan ko lang siya bilang kaibigan." Tumango lang si Byenn at tipid na ngumiti. "Naiintindihan ko," maikli niyang sagot. Makalipas ang ilang araw, muling nagpaalam ang lalaki habang nag-eempake ng gamit. “Byenn, nangako ako kay Reia na ice-celebrate ko ang birthday niya sa isla. Tinutupad ko lang ang pangako ko noon.” "Okay.” "Byenn, this party needs a capable assistant," hirit ulit ni Alaric bago ang isang malaking event, tila minamaliit ang kakayahan ng asawa. "Mas bagay si Reia kaysa sa iyo para sa role na ito." "Okay, go ahead." Nang mapansin ni Alaric na hindi na siya nagagalit, hindi na umiiyak, at hindi na naggagawa ng eksena, naguluhan ito. Lumapit ito sa kaniya at nagtatakang nagtanong, "Byenn, bakit hindi ka na nagagalit?" Of course, hindi na siya galit dahil aalis na rin siya. Pagod na siya sa stagnant nilang kasal. Habang abala si Alaric kay Reia ay palihim siyang nag-aral ng English saka kumuha ng IELTS, at pasimpleng nag-submit ng applications para mag-aral abroad. On the day her visa was approved, she threw out the divorce papers. "Huwag kang magbiro nang ganyan," sarkastikong tawa ni Alaric habang tinitingnan ang papel. "Paano ka mabubuhay nang wala ako?" Hindi na nag-abalang sumagot si Byenn. She just turned around, bought a plane ticket, and flew straight to Europe. The next time Alaric saw news about her, it was through a viral video online. Kitang-kita ang ganda ni Byenn habang naka-red dress, dancing freely in the sky above a foreign land. She looked so alive.
