Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka Ariel

Sa loob ng walong taon, buong pusong ginampanan ni Isabelle Reyes-Trinidad ang pagiging isang perpektong ina at asawa. Tahimik siyang sumuporta kay Lucas—sa kanyang negosyo, sa kanyang reputasyon, at sa kanyang ambisyon. Nanahimik siya sa likod ng camera, sa mga board meeting na hindi siya inanyayahan, at sa mga sandaling kailangan niya ng karamay pero wala ni isang halik o salitang ginhawa ang kanyang nakuha. Ang mas masakit? Wala siyang lugar sa sariling tahanan. Hindi lang si Lucas ang may paboritong kasama. "Mas gusto ko si Tita Karina kaysa kay Mommy!"—sambit ng anak nilang si Marcus habang nakangiti si Lucas, tila sang-ayon. Ginawa na ni Isabelle ang lahat para mapanatiling buo ang kanilang pamilya. Pero imbes na pagmamahal at respeto, ang gantimpala niya’y pagtataksil at pangungutya. Habang binubura siya mula sa buhay ng asawa’t anak, si Karina Sison—ang ex ng kanyang asawa—ang inilalagay sa pedestal. Ginawang presidente. Ginawang reyna. Hanggang sa dumating ang gabing iyon. Ang gabing tuluyan siyang nagising sa katotohanan—na minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal, hindi mo na kayang manatili sa isang lugar na matagal ka nang hindi pinipiling mahalin pabalik. Pagod na siyang umasa. Pagod na siyang maging tanong sa pamilyang matagal nang may sagot—at hindi siya iyon. Kaya handa na siyang magpalaya. Handa na siyang iwan ang tahanang dati niyang ipinaglaban, sa piling ng mga taong mas masaya nang wala siya. Ngunit nang sa wakas ay iniabot na niya ang divorce papers sa kanyang asawa… Hindi galit ang sumalubong sa kanya. Hindi rin pakiusap. Kundi isang malamig na titig lang. Isang mapanganib na ngiti. At ang mga salitang… “You’re not going anywhere, Isabelle.”

Nang makilala niya ang kanyang mapapangasawa, nagdadalawang isip siya kung talagang worth it nga ba ang pakikipagkasundo niya para lang isalba ang kanyang karangyaan.

Gusto niyang alisin sa utak niya 'yon at magtrabaho nalang para isalba ang pangalan niya, but it was too late. Hindi na siya makakatakas pa... so she needs to live with only rule; no attachments.

Ang akala mo ay makakatakas ka na din sa pang-aalipusta sayo ng mga magulang mo dahil sa may taong nagmamahal na sayo, ang hindi mo din alam ay ginagamit ka lang din naman nito. Pag-ibig? Ano ba talaga ang silbi ng salitang iyan, kung lahat naman sila ay pinagkakaisahan ako, pinagkaisahan ako ng tadhana. Ang pagmamahal na kay sagana noong una ay bigla na lang naglaho ng malaman kong ginagamit niya lang ako. Ng mapakasal ako sa isang lalaking hindi ko kakilala ay mas naging impyerno pa ang aking buhay. Wala na bang mas ikakalupit ang tadhana? Pagod na ako, pagod na pagod na ako, kung bakit kasi nangyayari sa aking ang mga ganitong bagay. Naghintay ako, kinuha nila ang kompanya na dapat ay para sa akin, mga ari-arian na dapat para sa akin, ang anak ko na pinatay nila kahit nasa sinapupunan ko pa ito, hindi pa sila nasiyahan at pati ako ay pinapapatay nila. Naghihintay lang ako ng pagkakataon, hintayin niyo ang aking pagbabalik. Tiyak na sa pagbabalik ko ay hindi ko kayo papalampasin lahat.
