The Broken Ring : This Marriage Will Fail Anyway Novels & Stories

Napatingin ako sa kobre ng kama at napahilamos nang makakita ako ng mantsa ng dugo 'how come na virgin pa si Mitch?' Biglang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Mr. Madrigal na umuusok ang ilong sa sobrang galit. "MR. LEE! MARRY MY DAUGHTER! OR ELSE I WILL KILL AND SUE YOU!" sabi nito kaya wala akong nagawa, Nagpakasal kami ni Mitch sa isang simbahan. Noong una ay galit na galit ako dahil nga pakiramdam ko ay pinikot ako pero kalaunan ay natutunan ko na rin siyang mahalin hanggang sa may message ako na nakita. Galing ito kay Renzo.

Hindi ko kasi inaasahan na ganito na naman kami kalapit sa isa’t isa. “That’s impossible,” naiiling kong wika. “Sasaktan lang natin ang isa’t isa—” “You’re on the negative side, baby,” he said huskily. “If you keep leaning to the negative side, of course, our marriage will be toxic.” “What are you trying to say?” namamaos kong tanong sa kaniya.

Bakas sa mukha ni mommy na naaawa ito sa akin, kahit hindi naman nila ako pinilit ay tama lang na ginawa ko itong desisiyon ko. ‘Sa rami ba naman ng mga bisita ng bruha, lakas ng loob mag-imbita tapos tatakas lang naman pala! Nakakapang-init ng ulo!’ “Everyone! Let's give them a round of applause, our new married couple. Mr. and Ms. Monteverde!” Sumigabong ang palakpakan ng lahat na naroon. Nang lumingon ako upang hanapin sina mommy ay saktong nakatingin sa akin si daddy at tumango.

It was said that the ring signified endless love between the couples, and it was a lie that I was so naive to believe in. Pero nagising na ako sa katotohanan ngayon. Ang singsing na ito ay hindi simbolo ng walang katapusan na pagmamahal kung hindi sumisimbolo ito na ang buhay natin ay paikot-ikot lamang. We are really living in circles, and there is no way out unless we break the cycle. Kagaya lamang ng singsing na ito, ganito rin ang ikot ng buhay para sa amin. Nagsimula sa amin ni Brent ang gulo, pero puputulin ko na ang lahat sa pagitan namin at ang panloloko ay magtatapos na rin.

Tutal iyon naman talaga ang naunang plano niya kung bakit niya pinakasalan si Enzo, ang hanapin ang lalaking handang gawin ang lahat para sa kanya. Muling napatitig angd alaga sa kanyang palasingsingan. Naroon pa ang wedding ring nila ni Enzo. Hindi niya tinanggal. It was a reminder of the two weeks she has spent married to Enzo. Two beautiful weeks and a lifetime of regrets, that’s all she got by marrying Enzo d’Angelo. Oh her poor heart did it again. But she can’t blame anyone, can she? Falling in love with Enzo was a sure trip to Brokenheart’s City but she was a willing victim. It was her fault that she is in that situation now.

I was afraid that maybe this was just an infatuation, a fleeting spark that would burn brightly for a short time before fizzling out, leaving me with nothing but ashes and regret. The thought of such a letdown was almost unbearable, the possibility of heartbreak a constant shadow looming over our budding connection. I questioned every shared laugh, every tender touch, searching for evidence to either confirm or deny my worst fears. The uncertainty was agonizing, a torturous dance between hope and despair. "I had never imagined walking with anyone..beside me, and I never had thought that it's gonna be you Ramina. All these past few years, I believed that marriage in papers is fine.."

He slowly removed the wedding ring from his finger. For six years... It had never left his hand. He stared at it for a long time. Then he placed it beside the photographs. His voice was barely audible. "I would've forgiven you once." Silence. "I forgave you twice..." Another tear escaped despite his efforts. "But..." His eyes closed. "I can't survive a third." The billionaire who had built an empire with unwavering determination... Finally broke. And with him... So did their marriage. Grant didn't go home that night.

Napatingin doon si Clayton. "Remember..." Mahina niyang sabi. "...the day of my wedding?" Tumango ito. "You gave me another ring. The engagement ring. And you told me...kapag nawala iyon sa daliri ko...ibig sabihin...hindi ko na natupad ang pangako ko." Saglit siyang ngumiti. Isang mapait na ngiti. "Nakita mo na siguro. Iniwan ko iyon sa condo mo." Tahimik lang si Clayton. "Because...I can't keep that promise anymore. I broke it. I fell in love with my husband."

“I take you as my wife, my partner, and the magnificent future I almost destroyed. Thank you for seeing the man behind the broken defenses and for being brave enough to stay. I promise to be the man who earns this incredible grace for the rest of our lives.” Humikbi ito kaya’t napahikbi na rin siya. “Charles and Crystal, you have spoken your deepest promises and truths to one another. The solemn commitment of your hearts is now complete,” anang Pari. “To give physical form to these vows, we now turn to the exchange of rings. These circles, without beginning or end, are a perfect symbol of the wholeness and eternity of your love…” Hindi niya maipokus ang kanyang atensyons sa sinasabi ng pari
