“Gusto mo?” His voice was low, almost teasing, lazy yet dangerous. Sumiksik si Amanda sa kanyang dibdib, namumula ang mukha, nanginginig ang katawan habang umaatake ang kanyang kondisyon. She bit her lip, then nodded. Isang taon na siyang kasal kay Warren Garcia pero ni minsan, hindi siya hinawakan. A wife… who was never desired. Dahil doon, unti-unting nasira si Amanda.

Kinabukasan, her world turns upside down.The same man is now the newly appointed CEO. Her boss. Her temptation. Trying to act like strangers, Amanda kept her distance but fate had other plans. Na-promote siya. Diretso sa tabi ng CEO. As his personal assistant. “Sir, may asawa na ako… are you trying to be the other man?” Namumula sa galit si Amanda habang napilitang mapaupo sa kandungan nito. He held her waist tighter. Then kissed her. “Baby… did you forget?” His voice dropped into a whisper. “Last night… you called me ‘husband’ all night.” In the end, Amanda walks away. No hesitation. No turning back. She remarries. Choose someone else. Chooses herself. But the man who never touched her, finally breaks. Namumula ang mata, puno ng pagsisisi.. “Amanda… let’s start over. Please, don’t leave me. I’ll do anything.” She looks at him cold, unfeeling. “Sorry.” A faint smile. “I’m not interested in a useless man.”

Sa araw ng libing ng kanyang ina, natabunan ng katahimikan ang mundo ni Amara Alvarez. Samantalang sa kabilang panig ng lungsod, ang lalaking tinawag niyang asawa ay nagdiriwang, isang marangyang birthday party, inihahandog hindi para sa kanya, kundi para sa unang babaeng minahal nito. Doon niya tuluyang naunawaan ang lahat. Hindi siya kailanman minahal. At ang isang relasyong walang pag-ibig ay wala ring saysay ipaglaban. Tahimik niyang iniwan ang mga papeles ng diborsyo. Tahimik niyang isinara ang buhay na ipinagkatiwala rito. At sa katahimikang iyon, ipinaalam din niya ang batang dinadala kasabay ng pagtalikod niya sa lahat ng dati niyang pinanghawakan. Lumisan si Amara mag-isa. Pagkaraan ng limang taon, sa isang marangyang auction, muling napatigil ang mundo. Ang punong auctioneer—nakasuot ng makintab na bestida at may puting belo sa mukha ay naging sentro ng atensyon. Kumipot ang mga mata ni Nardo Morales. May kung anong pamilyar sa tinig, sa tindig, at presensiya nito. “Ang pangalan niya… Amara?” “Opo,” sagot ng kanyang assistant. “May nag-alok ng milyon-milyon para makita ang kanyang mukha, pero tumanggi siya.” Sa sandaling iyon, parang may bumagsak na pader sa kanyang dibdib. Ang babaeng limang taon niyang hinanap at pinakawalan ay nasa harap na niya. Kinagabihan, sa isang madilim na interseksyon, hinarang niya ang dinaanan nito. “Auctioneer Mara,” malamig niyang wika, “hanggang kailan ka tatakas?” Huminto siya. Hindi man lang lumingon. “Mr. Morales,” matatag niyang sagot, “diborsyado na tayo.” “Hindi ako pumayag.” Bumigat ang tinig niya. “Nasaan ang anak ko?” Dahan-dahan siyang humarap. “Mr. Morales, tila kayo ang nakalimot. Limang taon na ang nakalipas mula nang nagpapalaglag ako.” Nanigas ang kanyang mukha. “Kung ganoon,” mariing sabi niya, “ano ito?” Sa harap ni Amara, tatlong batang limang taong gulang ang sabay-sabay na humakbang pasulong, nakahanay, magkakahawig ang mga mata, at malinaw na malinaw ang sagot sa tanong niya.
