“Kael…please…make it fast. I want you.” ungol ko. At ginawa nga ni Kael, mabilis siyang gumalaw sa ibabaw ko, at sa sobrang bilis niya gusto ko na siyang tumigil lalo na’t mabigat ang paghawak niya sa baywang ko habang binabayo ako. “Kael…stop, ” Hindi natapos ang sasabihin ko nang bigla siyang tumigil. Tumayo siya, mabigat ang bawat galaw. Nakatitig lang sa sahig. “Kael?” mahina kong tanong. Tahimik siya at saka dahan-dahan siyang tumingin sa akin. “Solene,” sabi niya, kalmado. “Let’s get a divorce.” Parang may sumabog sa tenga ko. “Ano?” halos hindi ko marinig ang boses ko. “Ano’ng sinabi mo?” Tuwid ang tindig niyang sumagot. “I already talked to my lawyer.” Huminga ako nang malalim, pilit na pinapaklam ang sarili ko. “Bakit?” “She’s sick.” Tumigil siya sandali bago tumingin sa akin. “Si Natalyn… she only has six months left.” Namilog ang mga mata ko. “So?” “She wants to spend her last days as my wife.” Walang pagbabago sa tono niya. “After that… I’ll come back to you.” Napangiti ako. Mapait. “Babalik ka?” bulong ko. “Para ka lang aalis sa bakasyon.” “Please, Solene.” Mahina pero mariin. “She’s dying. Don’t make this harder.” Natahimik ako. Ang hangin sa pagitan naming dalawa ay mabigat. Ang mga kamay kong kanina’y nakayakap sa kanya, ngayo’y nakalapat sa kama, nakakuyom. Anong kahibangan ito? Hindi pa kami tapos sa ginagawa namin pero bigla nalang siyang titigil at isang nakakagulat na balita ang sasabihin sa akin?

Isang lumang larawan niya. May sulat sa likod. (Mommy said this is the man who loved her, but not enough to fight for her.) Sa gitna ng entablado, lumapit si Luna Hope. “Are you my daddy?” Namutla ang asawa ni Atlas. Elnora rushed forward and pulled Luna into her arms. “Huwag mo siyang tawaging Daddy.” At sa unang pagkakataon matapos ang anim na taon, nakita muli ni Atlas ang babaeng minsan niyang minahal. “Elnora… is she mine?” Hindi siya sinagot ni Elnora.

Hindi ako gold digger. Oo, tatlong trabaho ang pinagsasabay ko. Server ako sa umaga, cashier sa hapon, at sa gabi, naglilinis ako ng kubeta sa isang bar sa Makati. Ako si Maria Tala Loresca, twenty-three years old. May utang na kasing lalim ng depression ko, at walang balak na lumaki ang interest nito. Kaya nang lapitan ako ni Lucas Salazar sa VIP lounge ng club na pinagtatrabahuhan ko isang lalaking nakasuot ng suit na halatang isang buwang sahod ko ang isang butones, may amoy na pangmayaman at kayabangan, at may titig na parang hinuhubaran na ako bago pa man ako magsalita, akala ko isa siyang manyakis na mayaman. "Five million. One night. No names, no feelings, no bullshit." Tiningnan ko siya. Six feet. Broad shoulders. At isang ngisi ng lalaking sanay makuha ang gusto niya. "Sure. Sige. Pero cash agad." That night, ikinama niya ako sa penthouse niya. Walang bulaklak. Walang kandila. Pagkatapos? Limang milyon sa bedside table. Umalis akong hindi siya ginising. Akala ko tapos na. Hanggang sa malaman ko ang totoo makalipas ang tatlong linggo. Ako pala ang sikretong anak ng taong pinakakinamumuhian niya ang ina ko ang babaeng sumira sa pamilya niya, at siya ang rason kung bakit namatay ang kanyang ina. Kaya ang plano ko ay paibigin siya. Pakakasalan ko siya. Gagamitin ang apelyidong Salazar para kunin ang lahat—pera, lupa, dignidad niya. Plano ko siyang sirain. Hindi ko inasahan na habang ginagawa ko 'yon, unti-unti rin pala akong mababaliw sa kanya. Sa mga kamay niyang humawak hindi lang ng katawan ko kundi ng pusong tinuruan kong maging bato. At ang masaklap? Kapag nalaman niya ang totoo—na ang babaeng hinuhubaran niya sa kama ay ang mismong dugo ng demonyong hinahangad niyang mamatay at hindi ako sure kung sino ang mas masasaktan. Siya ba? O ako?
