Araw ng linggo kinabukasan. Hindi kailangan ni Nick pumasok sa trabaho. He was up before Sunny and took the opportunity to get ready and prepare breakfast. He made his way downstairs, trying to focus on the conversation he was planning to have with her.Sana lamang ay pumayag si Sunny sa alok niya dahil sinisigurado niyang hindi ito magsisisi kapag pumayag ito.As he worked in the kitchen, the smell of bacon and eggs started to fill the house. He tried to clear his mind and think about the best way to start.Ilang sandali pa at nagising na rin si Sunny. She looked more relaxed and had a hint of a smile on her face. Nick set the table, and they sat down to eat. The conversation started casually, but he could tell it was time to address what had been on his mind. Ayaw niya ito mabigla, pero ayaw niya rin patagalin pa dahil ito na ang chance niya.“Sunny,” panimula ni Nick. "There’s something I want to discuss with you. Alam ko Marami kang pinagdadaanan ngayon, at gusto ko tulungan ko. G

Nakikita ni Nick si Sunny sa ilang events ng kompanya nila, kasama ang step cousin niyang si Efren. Hindi naman sila close ni Efren, hindi sila nag-uusap tungkol sa usapang pamilya. Pure work lang, at hindi rin maikakaila ni Nick na magaling si Efren sa trabaho. They'd never had much interaction beyond polite exchanges, but Nick knew Efren well enough to dislike him. If it weren’t for the lack of concrete reasons, he would’ve fired him a long time ago.Pero curious siya kung bakit narito ang asawa ni Efren sa bar ngayon, umiinom ng malala at walang balak huminto."Leave us," bulong ni Nick kay Arjay.Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Arjay. "I'm drinking, dude. Bakit ako aalis, ako nagyaya sayo rito."Siniko ni Nick si Arjay at isinenyas si Sunny."Oh, the desert for tonight," pilyong ngiti ni Arjay at tumayo na. "Fine, fine. Hahanap na rin ako ng akin." At tuluyan na itong umalis.“Sunny, right?” Nick asked as he approached.Binalingan siya ni Sunny at bahagyang nagulat pa. For a brief second

Hindi pwede umuwi si Sunny sa bahay nila. Tiyak siya na uusisain siya ng mga magulang nila kung bakit siya naroon. Galit na galit siya kay Efren at sa ate niya ngayon, pero hindi niya kakayanin na atakihin sa puso ang Papa niya kapag sinabi niya na naghiwalay na sila ni Efren, at ang dahilan pa non ay ang ate niya.As Sunny continued to search that day, luck was finally on her side. She found a one-bedroom apartment downtown. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was clean and furnished, and most importantly, it was hers.It had this tiny balcony that overlooked the city, a fresh start in every sense of the word. The rent was reasonable, and thankfully, she had enough saved from her part-time job to cover the first few months without worry.Comfortable life ay buhay na meron si Sunny kay Efren. Hindi man bilyonaryo ang asawa niya ay naibibigay naman nito ang mga material na bagay na kailangan niya. He work as a Vice President ng pinsan niya. Anak sa labas si Efren, pero maswerte ito dahil

Nagising si Sunny na hindi maganda ang pakiramdam niya. Hindi niya masabi kung dahil lang ba puyat siya kagabi kakahintay sa asawa, o tatrangkasuhin siya.Bumangon na siya. The house was too quiet, too quiet. At hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin ang asawa niya. Hindi na naman ito umuwi.For months, Sunny done everything in her power to save her marriage to Efren, her husband of five years. But despite her efforts, nothing seemed to change. Kahit ang mga magulang niya ay kakampihan pa si Efren kapag nagsumbong siya sa mga ito kaya sinasarili niya na lang madalas ang sama ng loob.She walked down the stairs, her heart pounding. Every step felt heavier than the last as if her body was already aware of the devastation awaiting her. Sunny tried to get rid of the dread, holding on and hoping that maybe, just maybe, Efren had something planned for her birthday. Kaarawan niya ngayon at kahit happy birthday man lang muna sa pamilya niya ay wala rin siyang natanggap ngayong paggising niya.Pagpas
