My Other Half Novels & Stories

Ang kanilang dedication sa bawat isa at sa kanilang anak ay nagbigay sa kanila ng solidong pundasyon para sa kanilang future. Sa bawat linggo na lumilipas, ang kanilang bond bilang mag-asawa at pamilya ay patuloy na lumalakas. Ang kanilang shared experiences, mga plano para sa hinaharap, at ang kanilang commitment sa bawat isa ay nagbigay sa kanila ng lakas at inspirasyon. “Excited ako sa mga susunod na hakbang ng ating buhay,” sabi ni Evelyn habang naglalakad sila sa parke kasama ang kanilang baby. “Sana maging maayos lahat.”

Pagdating niya sa bar nakita agad niya ang mga kaibigan. Wala pa roon si Alexis kaya, mabilis siya lumapit sa mga ito. "Si Jane, soon-to-be my wife," pakilala ni Cyron sa kasama nito. "This is Edz, my wife. Last year you attended to our wedding, right?" wika ni Marvin. Ngumiti siya sa mga ito. "This is Jessica, my longtime girlfriend," ani Joshua.

Bernaville na sila na ang bahala sa lahat. Ni hindi ako makapaniwala na napapatunayan lang na may ibang motibo talaga sila dahil tila hindi sila makapaghintay na matapos agad ang kasal. The next day, they prepared a banquet for me and Grand but there are only selected guests. It’s like an engagement party but rather one-sided. I feel uneasy every now and then. Pakiramdam ko ay hinahayaan kong mahulog ang sarili ko sa isang patibong.

They didn't even lock the door! I calm myself. I need to remain my usual self, the proud and elegant woman as I should be. Dapat makita nila kung paano ako mas angat sa kanilang dalawa. Malakas ang kutob ko. My husband is having an affair. It's crazy to think, but I know he is fcking another woman in our own room now. I don't need to sugarcoat what I'm going to say. I'm not dumb not to notice all of this! Paano niya ipapaliwanag itong mga damit na hindi naman sa akin? Kailan pa naging thrift store ang bahay ko?!

Sumaludo ako sakanya na ikinatawa nito. "That's also the same with couples. Being in a relationship isn't always sunshine and rainbows. It's more like navigating through a stormy sea together. There are days when the waves are calm, and you feel like you're sailing smoothly towards the horizon. But then, there are days when the waves crash against the boat, testing your patience, your understanding, and your love for each other."

sagot ko. "She is..." Sigurado niyang sagot. "Because we're together again." Hinawi niya ang takas ng buhok ko saka marahang dinampian ng halik ang noo ko. "Please don't leave me again, okay? Kapag may problema ka, sabihin mo sa akin. You're not a burden, Chime. You're my other half. Whatever your problem is, problema ko rin iyon. Don't run away again."

"Anak, alam mo naman na ang relasyon ninyo ay hindi lang parang magkasintahan lang na pwedeng layuan ang mga hindi pagkaka-intindihan, mag-asawa kayo. You are committed to ea-" "Enough dad! Whoever and whatever you're talking about has nothing to do with me. There's no such thing as me being married. Please rest, you might've just had more than enough alcohol. You're obsession of finding me a husband has gone too much." Mataas-taas na ipinahayag ni Fianna.

I beamed to him, "people are never meant to be alone. Like now, we are not alone. We're not anything but we are certainly not alone. You and I, we're a different kind of soulmates." "Talaga ba? Nagiging OA na yata tayo ngayon." I laughed out loud. These moments are becoming my favorite moments. The time I spend with him is getting more and more interesting. I've shared almost half of the things that I have gone through except for the part of Collin and his wife. But not yet. Sometimes, some secrets are meant to be kept.

mas lalong na puzzle na tanong ni Don Balthazar. "My other half," tanging sagot ni Jonathan saka nagpatuloy sa paglalakad hanggang sa makarating sa stage. Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag ng makalayo siya. Siguro si Mara ang tinutukoy niyang 'my other half'.

May diing sabi niya na ikinahalakhak ko. Nagpapatawa ba talaga siya? Always be my wife? How can he say that? Sa tingin niya ba ay gano'n ako katanga para manatiling nakatali sa kaniya habang may kalaguyo siyang iba? Nagkakamali siya. Umiling ako at sarkastikang ngumiti, "No, thanks. I could never share a husband with someone who destroys another woman's marriage." Mariing sabi ko.
