2021-12-05 13:22:46A few weeks later, habang nakatambay sa airport at naghihintay, i couldn’t help but admire the interiors. I mean, hindi naman sa sobrang namamangha ako pero… the thought of missing this as a workplace crossed my mind.
Sa pagkakatanda ko kasi ay ilang buwan na lang at magreresign na ako. And by that time, our company would be my main priority. Siguro magiging libangan ko na lang ang pagkalikot ng mga aircrafts sa kompanya.
In the middle of my thoughts, halos mapatalon ako nang marinig ang isang pamilyar na boses na sumigaw.
“Darling!” Before I could even continue to chew my food and process things properly, Lionel welcomed me for a tight embrace. Napatawa na lang ako at saka tinugon ang kaniyang yakap.
“Damn, I missed you,” he wh

Masama ang loob na pinatay ko ang tawag dahil ayaw ko nang makarinig pa ng kasinungalingan mula sa kaniya. Parang unti-unting bumalik sa isipan ko lahat ng nangyari at hindi ko maiwasang biglang magduda.Magmula nang tumawag siya kay Lionel, I saw how devastated Lionel became. He always spaces out. He’s always stressed, at alam kong may hindi siya sinasabi sa akin. At ang mas ikinagagalit ko pa… Tita Lea knows something but still chose to lie for his son.Hindi ako sigurado. Is it a red flag? Sigurado naman akong hindi ako niloloko ni Lionel.Or… was I really? I don’t know. Wala roon ang pagdududa ko dahil hindi naman siya nagkulang sa pagpaparamdam noon sa akin. I trust him so much that I know that he wouldn’t leave me or cheat on me.

Nabuntis. Nabuntis niya si Laira.“I’m sorry, Darling. I-I’m sorry. Patawarin mo ko,” he begged over and over again.Laglag ang pangang nakatitig ako sa kawalan. Panay ang hingi niya ng tawad habang yakap niya ako. Pero hindi ko alam kung paano. I couldn’t process everything. Mawawala na siya sa akin. Mawawala na siya.The thought of him… marrying someone else hurt me. The thought of him leaving makes me angry. The thought of Lionel… choosing someone over me made me boil in anger. Hindi ko alam kung kanino ako magagalit at kung kanino dapat.I hate Laira. I hate Lionel… at kahit hindi dapat… sumasama ang loob ko sa bata. The child is innocent, Cha! Lionel did that while you two have a problem! Wala siyang ka

“The baby is healthy and safe so there’s nothing to worry about. For the meantime, magpahinga muna si Misis dahil baka makasama sa bata ang labis na pagdurugo. Let’s avoid stress, okay po?”Marahan akong tumango sa doktor kahit wala doon ang aking atensyon. I’m glad that my baby is safe, but… fuck. Hindi ako mapakali. I’m fucking doomed.I saw how afraid my wife is. Napag… Napagsalitaan ko pa siya. She was so scared. Alam kong hindi niya iyon sinasadya. She’s not like that. I know she won’t hurt anyone. Gusto ko nang umalis. Gusto ko na siyang puntahan.Everything's my fault, pero siya ang… na agrabyado. Siya ang pinahihirapan ko. She doesn’t deserve this. Hindi siya dapat nasasaktan nang ganito.

I… want CK back. Gusto ko na siyang bumalik. I can’t fucking last another day without her. I miss her lips, her touch, and her mellow voice that comforts me when I’m tired, upset, or angry. She’s the first one I want to see every time I wake up in the morning. She’s the only one I want to be with before I close my eyes at night.Pero paano ko magagawa iyon? She’s gone. She decided to leave. She was taken away from me. Death was better than this.Bakit ba lagi na lang ganito? Lagi na lang problema. All I want is to live happily with my wife. Was I too cruel to be punished this way? Was I too cruel to her that… the heavens decided that I don’t deserve her?Kahit gaano ko ka-gustong sisihin ang sarili sa nangyari, hindi ko pa rin ikakailang… siya pa r

She’s been arguing with me since last night. Kung hindi lang ako lasing kagabi ay kagabi ko pa siyang nahila para kumuha ng test. And today, nothing is going to stop me from taking a test. Even her.“There’s no need for tests, Lionel! I am pregnant with your child! Don’t get your hopes up to the extent that you’ll want to abandon us just to be with your woman.”Bumuntong hininga ako at sinulyapan siya kahit hindi ko gusto. “I don’t have my hopes up, Laira. I want to be sure. If that child is really mine, then I’ll continue supporting that child. Pero kung hindi…” I parked my car and looked at her properly.I noticed how her hands trembled in fear. Pero kahit ganoon, kitang kita ko sa kaniyang mukha ang galit. Does she t

“Looking fresh, huh?” nakangising bati ni River nang makita akong papalapit sa kaniya. Nakangisi ko siyang kinindatan at saka sumabay sa paglalakad. “You don't know how long I've waited for this day.” Tinawanan niya lang ako kahit ang totoo'y hindi niya maiintindihan ang sinasabi ko. The days felt like years! Hindi ko inakalang magiging ganito katagal ang ilang araw. And finally, the day has come. “Kaya keep your eyes around, hmm? She'll be here in a minute or so. She just texted me na malapit na siya.” I nodded and took his advice. “Oh paano? Tara na?” tanong niya. “H-Huh? Akala ko ako ang magpipiloto kay Sandra?” I was curious as fuck. Dito unang dadaan si CK bago siya pumunta sa isla. Why the hell would I leave

“Bridesmaids naman! Why don’t we come up here together with the groomsmen?” Napalingon kami pareho sa emcee nang tawagin nito ang bridesmaids.So instead of talking to each other, I excused myself and went in front to play games with my fellow bridesmaids and with the bride. Naagaw ng programa ang buong atensyon ko sa gabing iyon. The program and the venue were very beautiful. Napakaganda ng pagkakaayos sa mga lamesa at ilaw na parang inaakit ako sa isiping… paano kaya kung ganito ang kasal ko?Hmm, that would be nice. Well, a few changes of course. Isa pa, hindi pa rin naman talaga ako kasal kaya… maaari pang matupad iyonSa kalagitnaan ng pag-iisip kong iyon, muling tumama ang paningin ko sa table ko kanina. Akala ko’y umalis na roon si Lionel noong una. But to my surprise, he

“A-Ano?!” gulat kong tanong dahil sa kaniyang sinabi. I don’t know what to feel about his revelations. Hindi ko itatangging bahagya akong natuwa nang malaman kong hindi niya anak ang bata kay Laira, pero ano itong sinasabi niyang kasal kami?We’re married? Since when? Bakit hindi ko alam? Bakit hindi niya sinabi?!Marahan at malungkot na sumulyap sa akin si Lionel bago siya muling bumaling sa aking mga magulang.“What in the world is the meaning of this, Charlotte Katherine?” Nilingon ko si Mommy dahil sa kaniyang sinabi. My eyes widened when I realised that they’re both now looking at me like I did something wrong kahit maging ako ay walang alam sa sinasabi ni Lionel!

When can we say that we’ve moved on from all the pain and heartache? How do we know if we’ve already moved on? How do we know if we’re just forcing ourselves and denying the pain? At higit sa lahat… paano ba tatanggapin ang pagkawala ng ating minamahal?I have lots of questions running in my mind. Habang nakatitig sa puntod ng aking asawa, hindi ko mapigilang itanong sa aking sarili kung paano kinakaya ng mga taong naiiwan ang paglisan ng kanilang minamahal.How can Kuya River… stand strong?Well, maybe he has his little angel that Sandra left to remind him of her love. At si Lionel… ganoon din.“Will you be fine here, Darling?” mahinang bulong ko at hinawakan ang kanyang lap

It still feels unreal. Sa tuwing iminumulat ko ang aking mga mata kada umaga, pakiramdam ko’y hindi totoo ang lahat. When I wake up without him beside me, I’d still wait for him to get out of the shower.But as minutes pass, after realizing everything… that he’s not here anymore… I couldn't stop myself from crying.The past few days were very hard. And it’s not getting any better. Sa bawat araw, parang mas lalo lang akong nasaktan.In the middle of the night, I can still feel him caressing my cheeks. I can always feel his warmth like he never left.“CK…” Nabalik ako sa katinuan nang marinig ang tinig ni Mom. She caressed my back and hair as she softly whispered. “Do you want something to eat? Mananghali

“L-Lionel, please… wake up. Wake up, please?” pakiusap ko.I tried to run and push his bed as fast as I could. Natatakot akong sa oras na bumagal ang takbo namin… baka hindi na kami umabot. Baka iwanan niya na ako. Baka…“Sweetie,” Mommy called and stopped me from entering the emergency room. Pero hindi ako nagpatinag. Gusto kong pumasok. Gusto kong malaman ang lagay ng asawa ko. Gusto kong naroon ako pagmulat ng kanyang mga mata.“Mommy, please. I k-know he’ll want to see me if he wakes up. G-Gusto ko siyang makitang mabuhay, Mommy. H-He’ll be worried sick if he wakes up without me. Alam ko iyon.” Nabasag ang aking boses habang patuloy na nagmamakaawang papasukin nila ako sa emergency room pero… hindi talaga. Ayaw nila.

At first, I thought I was only serving my revenge because they fooled me. Pero sino bang niloloko ko? I can’t… hold it any longer.I can’t contain my feelings anymore. After kissing her, marrying her legally without her knowing, after I locked her there, at matapos kong makita ang paraan ng titig niya sa kapatid ko, I know I wouldn’t be able to last another day without her knowing that she’s mine.At nang magising ako isang araw sa kanyang tabi… I couldn’t help but feel how much my heart is aching. I realized how stupid I am. She’s fucking innocent!At hindi siya biktima ng pangyayari kundi… biktima ng galit ko. I was the one who harmed her. I was the one who hurted her and traumatized her. Kaya anong… karapata

I did shit the next few days. Umuuwing madaling araw tapos aalis na ulit, I go to bars often, meet few ladies and mess with them in a way we both know. Umabot pa sa puntong ginawa ko iyon… sa bahay mismo.Alam kong napakatanga ko, pero wala akong pakialam. I can’t take Katherine off my mind, and I know that I have to! Kaya lahat ginawa ko para maalis siya sa sistema ko. Pero alam kong palagi ko siyang makikita kaya minabuti kong ituon ang atensyon ko sa iba.But unexpectedly, one night, she… saw me doing it with another woman in our very own house.Fuck, I’m so screwed up.“Katherine?!” sigaw ko nang makita siyang tulala sa amin. She looked stunned. Subalit ang gulat ay napalitan ng takot nang

They say that before people close their eyes, they tend to remember the most beautiful thing that happens to their lives.But no matter how much I’m afraid to die, I don’t think I can still… make it.“Lionel… Lionel, please, wake up!” I stared at my beautiful wife as she cried so much. The last thing I want to see is her shedding tears. Dahil sa tuwing nakikita ko siyang umiiyak, it always felt like I failed my duty as his husband.It always reminded me of those days when I was an ass to her. It always reminded me that until now, I’m still not satisfied dahil pakiramdam ko’y kulang pa ang mga ginagawa ko para makabawi sa kanya.“Hala! S-Sorry, akala ko walang tao!” sigaw ni Katherine at kaagad isinar

“Are you craving for something? Do you want anything in particular? May nararamdaman ka ba?” tanong niya habang naglalakad kami sa may airport. Napatawa na lang ako dahil magmula nang malaman niya kanina ang tungkol sa pagbubuntis ko, hindi na siya magkandaugaga sa pag-alalay sa akin. Sobrang saya ko nang mag-positive ang tatlong pregnancy tests at hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala hanggang ngayon. Pero dahil sa reaksyon ni Lionel, sobrang saya ko na totoo ang lahat nang ito. “Are you sure you don’t want anything?” tanong niya nang umiling ako. Kaagad akong napatawa dahil bakas na bakas ko sa kanya ang pagkataranta. “Wala talaga,” sambit ko habang hawak ang kanyang kamay. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’m really alright.”

That morning, hindi na ako nagulat nang muling magpaalam si Lionel para umalis. He was like that throughout the whole week. Umaalis nang maaga at umuuwi minsan sa gabi o kaya naman ay madaling araw. But there are days when he doesn’t come home at all.Minsan nga ay umuuwi nang madaling araw galing sa ibang bansa nang hindi namin nalalaman. Even though I know that he’s with Kuya River, I can’t help but get worried every time.He thinks that leaving me here in Carles would make me feel at ease and slowly recover from the incident. Pero ang totoo, mas naghihilom ang lahat ng sakit sa tuwing narito siya. Him staying beside me through those painful days did all the job. At sa totoo lang, mas malaki ang naging impact sa akin ng pagkamatay ni Sandra kaysa sa pagtangka ni Alejandro na pagdukot sa akin. And it made me even scared for my husband.

“Do you know anything else?” tanong ko kay Vincent habang nakatitig sa cell phone ni Aaliyah at binabasa ang mensahe ng kanyang ama sa kanya.At habang ginagawa iyon, hindi ko mapigilang maawa sa bata. Alejandro is blessed to have a child. He’s blessed to have a daughter like her. Pero hindi pa siya nakuntento. Why in the world did he want my wife? I get that he likes her, but I never realized that it’ll be to this extent.Unless, there are deeper reasons. But whatever they are, it will still be invalid.“Iyan lang. Kailangan mo ba ang cell phone?” tanong niya.Kaagad akong umiling at saka ibinigay iyon ulit sa kanya. I’ve read enough.“Aalis na ako. That’s all I need to k
