To My Future Wife

When my best friend died, his wife, Mia Lewis, was eight months pregnant. Mia said she didn't want her baby growing up without a father. I owed my best friend my life. He saved me, literally pulled me from death's door. So I stepped up, marrying Mia and raising their son as my own. Mia loved her career, so I quit mine. Traded my job for diapers and school runs. For seven whole years, I cooked, cleaned, folded laundry, and handled the housework. Rain or shine, sickness or health, I was there—every single day. Mia, though? She stayed cold, distant. Her warmth only surfaced in the bedroom—and even then, it was a flicker, never a flame. Just soft sighs and breathy murmurs, like she was playing a role she couldn't wait to finish. Afterward, she would quietly check the condom, as if she couldn't trust me. Then came New Year's Eve. A snap. A tear. A broken condom. Her fury struck like a thunderclap. She locked me out on the balcony, left me standing in the freezing rain, soaked to the bone as the wind howled like a wounded beast. Teeth chattering, I shivered as I watched the door like a dog, waiting to be let in. Then I saw him. Our boy, Ethan Bailey. Six years old. My son, at least in name. He came running with an umbrella in his hand. For a second, my heart leapt. 'Maybe, just maybe…' But he didn't even look at me. Just walked past in silence and handed the umbrella to the nanny heading out. Right then and there, something inside me cracked. I knew it was time to go.

Kaya naman ang mga magulang nito ay nag-aalala sa kanilang pinakamamahal na endangered name-- Madrigal. Siya ang nag-iisang anak at bukod tanging magbibigay ng mga susunod na henerasyon ng mga Madrigal's ngunit walang siyang balak mag-asawa. Gusto lang niyang magpakasarap sa mga babaeng nakakasama na walang sakit sa ulong tinatawag na "pag-ibig." Dahil doon, inalisan siya ng mana ng kanyang mga magulang at ibibigay na lamang ito sa mga charity homes na kanilang sinusuportahan. Hanggang sa makilala niya itong isang inosente at amoy isdang babae na sagot pala sa kanyang mga problema. His paper wife-- Lisa. Fier and Lisa Story

Para kay Dhalia Augustine Madrigal, ang buhay ay isang serye ng pagsubok—lalo na nang tanggapin niya ang trabahong maging sekretarya ng malupit at istriktong bilyonaryo, si Henri Yanno Garciaz. Habang lahat ng naunang sekretarya ay hindi nagtagal, siya lang ang nagtiis at nakasabay sa ugali nito. Ngunit hindi niya inasahan na ang trabahong ito ang magdadala sa kanya sa isang alok na magpapabago sa kanyang buhay. Isang kasal kapalit ng sampung milyong piso. Para kay Henri, si Dhalia ang perpektong sagot upang makaiwas sa isang sapilitang kasal sa kanyang unang pag-ibig. Ngunit sa kabila ng kasunduang iyon, hindi niya maitanggi ang lumalalim niyang damdamin para sa babaeng laging naroon para sa kanya. Unti-unting nagbago ang kanilang relasyon, at sa kabila ng mga pagsubok, natagpuan nila ang tunay na kaligayahan sa isa’t isa. Ngunit sa isang iglap, nagbago ang lahat. Isang rebelasyong nag-ugat sa nakaraan ang gumulo sa buhay ni Dhalia—isa pala siyang Lim, kapatid ng dating minahal ni Henri. At ang mas matinding dagok, isang larawan ang sumira sa kanilang tiwala—isang larawan na nagpatunay na may ibang babae si Henri. Sa gitna ng sakit at kahihiyan, pinili niyang lumayo, dala ang lihim na siya rin ay nagdadalang-tao. Limang taon ang lumipas, at sa kabila ng pagtatago ni Dhalia, hindi siya tinantanan ng lalaking minsan niyang minahal. Ngayon, muling bumalik si Henri sa buhay niya, handang patunayan ang isang bagay—na sa kabila ng lahat, si Dhalia lang ang babaeng nais niyang makasama habambuhay. Ngunit sapat ba ang pagmamahal upang paghilumin ang sugat ng nakaraan?

"Yes! I want to be your girlfriend, Kairus Dhan Alvarez. Sinasagot na kita," sigaw ng kaibigan ko. Ouch! Nanigas ako sa kinatayuan ko ng pagpasok ko pa lang sa university kung saan ako nag-aaral, ng marinig ko ang sigaw ng isang pamilyar na boses, o should I say, ng aking best friend. Ang ganda naman ng bungad. Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatayuan ko. Para akong natulala. Para akong binagsakan ng langit at lupa. "WOAH, CONGRATS NEW COUPLE." Nanlalabo ang paningin ko habang pinagmamasdan ang kaibigan ko at ang lalaking mahal ko. Kitang kita ko kung gaano kasaya si Kairus nang sagutin siya ni Amara. Nagyayakapan silang dalawa, at worst, they kissed each other in front of me. Mas lalong lumakas ang sigawan ng mga tao habang ako naman ay parang nabingi. Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman ko. Basta alam ko lang, unti-unti nang nawawasak ang puso ko. Yumuko ako. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang physical na sakit sa puso ko. "I LOVE YOU, AMARA... SO MUCH!" D@MN! Tuluyan nang nawasak ang puso ko nang marinig ko ang katagang iyon mula sa bibig ng mahal ko na para sa kaibigan ko. Kinagat ko ang aking ibabang labi upang pigilan ang luha na gustong kumawala sa aking mga mata. Dapat handa na ako sa ganito, alam kong darating ang araw na ito, pero p*tangina, bakit parang sobrang sakit? Bakit parang hindi ko kaya? "BESH...!" Kaagad kong pinunasan ang isang butil na luha na tuluyan itong kumawala sa mata ko. Huminga ako ng malalim at saka inangat ang paningin sa kaibigan kong patakbong palapit sa akin na may malaking ngiti. Ngumiti din ako, pero pilit lang. Sinubukan kong maging masaya para hindi siya makahalata. "KAMI NA... I ALREADY SAID YES TO HIM," masaya niyang sabi bago ako niyakap.
