Novel & Cerita The Broken Ring : This Marriage Will Fail Anyway

"What song do you want me to sing?" Marahan siyang ngumiti habang nakatitig sa kisame. Bigla na lang nalabo ang paningin niya. Tinaas niya ang kabilang kamay at tinitigan ang wedding ring na suot niya. "You said you love me, right? Why don't you show your love to me, Gideon? Please sleep with me." "You forgot what I'd told you, Jewel? Don't do any reckless act again." "But it is lawful for us, right? I mean, we're married." Ngumiti siya. "Like in novels.

To give the best of myself and ask you no more than give in return. To share with you my life, my time, and bring you joy, strenght and imagination to our relationship.

"Correction, Cholo. Our house. And Elizabeth will have nothing to change in this house because she will never be your wife because I'm not letting you go. Never in your wildest dreams. Let her wait in vain because you are the last thing I wanted to lose in this lifetime." Ngumisi ito at namulsa. Pinasadahan niya muna ako nang nanunuyang tingin bago ito nagsalita.

"No one broke our marriage, Cholo. It was already broken to begin with," bulong ko habang kagat ang labing nakatitig sa kawalan.

"Mara wear this as a sign of my love and faithfulness to you." Ako naman ang kumuha ng singsing at isinuot iyon kay Maru. "Maru wear this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness to you." "Really?" Bulong nito Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Just kidding hon." Napailing na naman ako. Maru is in his playful self again. Now we have to give our marriage vow to one another.

Ang kirot sa kanyang braso ay tila isang paalala na wala nang natitirang dahilan para manatili pa siya sa mansyong iyon. Napako ang kanyang tingin sa suot na diamond ring na kumikinang sa tuwing naisiskatan ng araw. Dahan-dahan niyang hinugot ang singsing mula sa kanyang daliri. Isang mapulang marka ang naiwan doon, magaspang at pangit tingnan, mistulang isang peklat na hindi na mabubura. She's getting a divorce…

“I, Margaritha, take you, Thomas to be my husband. I promise to be faithful to you, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love you and to honor you all the days of my life.” (Priest) “May the Lord in his kindness strengthen the consent you have declared before the Church and graciously bring to fulfillment his blessings within you.

“Bakit mo naman nasabi ’yan, anak?“ kaagad na tanong ni Mariya kasabay ng hilaw na pagtawa. “I just noticed that you and tatay weren't married yet because you two haven't ring in your ring fingers. ’Di ba po kapag mag-asawa ang dalawang magulang, they have a ring?“ pagpapaliwanag ni Bennett.

Ngayon, malaki na ang anak natin at may business ka na ring maipagyayabang sa pamilya ko, pwede mo na si

“But I’m not as obsessed as you. Pwede mong baguhin ang target mo for example, a rich Prince Charming.” Napangiti si Felicity, this time may halong tapang ang mga mata niya. “The prince will leave once the money’s gone. But money? It will never betray me.” Nanahimik si Thorin, walang ekspresyon. Pero sa loob niya, may kakaibang intrigue sa mga salitang binitiwan ni Felicity. “No matter how good a relationship starts,” sabi ni Felicity, diretso at kalmado, “once the novelty wears off, marriage will eventually turn into a mess.”
