2021-12-20 21:56:05Sa nagdaang araw, we enjoyed ourselves and opened up to each other. And now, it is our third and last day here.
Hindi ko itatangging natatakot ako sa sunod na mangyayari pagkatapos nito. Going back means facing the real world again. At ayokong matulad ito sa dati.
But whatever happens, I know I will hold on to him. And I hope he does as well.
“What do you say we… leave at midnight?” tanong ko sa kalagitnaan ng katahimikan.
His eyes widened a bit at my suggestion. Ang plano niya kasi ay umalis ng hapon at iuwi ako ng matiwasay bago lumalim ang gabi. He knows I badly have to catch up with work and wants me to have a good night's sleep later.
Pero taliwas iyon sa aking gusto. I want to spend the rest of

“Lionel!” tawag ko at lumapit sa kaniya upang aluhin siya mula sa suntok ni Daddy.He was holding the side of his lips, at hindi ako sigurado kung dumudugo iyon! Oh my goodness, ano bang nangyari?!“My goodness, Charles, what were you thinking?” tanong ni Mommy na hindi naman sinagot ng aking ama.Subalit sa halip na ibaling ang aking atensyon sa kanila ay nanatili iyon kay Lionel.“Ayos ka lang?” tanong ko at sinipat ang labi niya na siyang tinamaan.However, to my surprise, I saw his lips slowly forming a smirk despite being punched. “Ayos na ayos,” aniya pa..

Mararahas ang bumuntong hiningang nanatili ako sa labas ng opisina ni Katherine dahil sa iritasyon.Holding the damn lunch box, I can't stop looking at my wristwatch. Her damn secretary didn't allow me to enter dahil daw ka-meeting nito si Alejandro.Anong pinag-uusapan at gaano ka-importante na hindi pwedeng abalahin?I trust my wife. That bastard is whom I don't trust.After knowing the true colors of that man, hindi ko alam kung mapagkakatiwalaan ko pa siya. Isa pa, patuloy niya akong sinisiraan kay Katherine kaya hindi ako mapakali lalo!Sampung minuto pa at kung hindi pa sila lalabas ay papasok na ako.I breathed heavily and was about to ready myself to enter. However, the do

Nagising ako kinabukasan na nasa ibabaw pa rin ni Lionel. Hindi na yata ako nakaayos ng higa kagabi at basta na lang nakatulog sa ibabaw niya.Ni hindi man lang niya ako ginising, tsk.Sinubukan kong umalis doon at lumipat sa kabilang bahagi ng kama. However, Lionel tightened his hug and groaned a bit na parang ayaw akong paalisin.I softly giggled at his actions. Si Lionel talaga. This is exactly the reason why I didn’t get home yesterday. Pinipigilan niya ako kaya ito… magkasama kagabi at um… nakakahiyang sabihin hihi.“Lionel, m-may trabaho ka pa,” mahinang asik ko. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay may trabaho siya ngayon, eh. Pero ito at ayaw niya pa ring bumangon.“Few more minutes, Darling. I w

Tinitigan ko ang cellphone ni Katherine na patuloy pa ring tumutunog dahil sa tawag ni Alejandro. Marahas akong bumuntong hininga dahil sa iritasyon. Gladly, it didn’t affect my work because of frustration. Mabuti na lang at napilit ko si Katherine na magpalit kami ng cellphone.And there’s no need for her to change her number because I will put an end to this.He’s been contacting and threatening my wife, and I can’t deal with that. Baka kung anong magawa ko sa kaniya.I immediately canceled the call and decided to dial my brother’s number. In times like this, we always have each other’s back. And if it wasn’t for me, hindi naman niya makikita uli ang asawa niya.“I'm glad you called,” he said on the other line.

“You're sweating bullets.” Marahas akong napa buntong hininga nang marinig ang sinambit ni River. No matter how much I try to calm myself, I can't deny the fact that I really am!“Can you blame me?” tanong ko na tinawanan niya lang.I can’t even put my fucking bow tie properly dahil sa labis na panginginig ng aking mga kamay. I don’t know but not spending the night with my wife and the thought of getting married to her today makes me feel envious. And it doesn’t make any sense dahil kasal na naman kami pero ganito pa rin ako kung mangamba!Besides, her guards reported well! But damn, I guess I really am doomed.“See? Now you’re feeling the way I felt when I’m bound to get married,” River said and laughed.

“How is it?” Pagkalabas ko pa lang ng banyo, sinalubong na ako agad ni Lionel at sinundan patungo sa kama.However, as I sat down on the bed, hindi ko kayang itago ang disappointment sa aking mukha. Nasa ilang taon na namin itong sinusubukan at inaantay pero…“Negative pa rin,” malungkot kong sambit. Hindi ko tuloy napigilan ang aking mga luha sa pagtulo at maging ang mga hikbi ko ay hindi nakatakas dahil sa panlulumo.“H-Hey…” marahang tawag ni Lionel at saka kinuha ang pregnancy test mula sa akin. When he saw the result, ibinaba niya iyon bago muling bumaling sa akin.At nang marahan niyang hawakan ang aking ulo upang idantay sa kaniyang balikat, mas lalong hindi ko napigilan ang pag-iyak.

Marrying her was the best day of my life. At magmula nang ikasal ako sa kaniya, my whole life became more colorful than it could ever be.“That'll be our bedroom, right?” tanong ko habang itinuturo ang pinakamalaking kwarto ng aming bagong bahay.The two-story house we bought is very beautiful. With some improvements here and there, we actually made it.“Oo! The balcony is right in front of the pool, and we can see the whole view there!”I nodded and smiled at her as we took a peek in our bedroom. And I wasn't surprised when I saw that it was arranged in a luxurious way.“This is beautiful,” I said and kissed her cheeks.

Even after changing my damn clothes, hindi pa rin ako mapalagay kung dapat ko bang puntahan si Laira. But I’m really eager to know something that she knows. Kung tungkol ito kay Alejandro at sa binabalak niya sa asawa ko, I think I have to know better.But what if this is a trick? I don’t know. I’m willing to risk anything kung ako lang ang madadamay. But when it comes to my wife’s safety, I don’t think I can trust anybody. Baka mawala ako sa tamang katinuan kapag may nangyaring masama sa kaniya.I breathed heavily and massaged my temples. Bahala na. I have to know something about Alejandro and what exactly he is planning. Sa palagay ko’y hindi biro ang mga paratang at banta niya. I should’ve known better. It was easy to think at first that I am just overreacting because I don’t want my wife to be frustrated about

Clouds on the Horizon Epilogue
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
