Fixing the broken Vows KABANATA 11/revised
KABANATA 11 Days passed like a blur, but my heart.. it is still breaking day by day, slowly. The happiness has long gone, forgotten as loneliness visit me again. I look at the sultry ocean as the strokes of the waves touch my feet soothingly. The ocean is still blue, just like my feelings, I'm in a deep shit blue. Funny as how my favorite color and feelings differ. I hug my shoulder firmly as the sun burn my entire body, a brand new day to get hurt. Again and again. I'm Cleopatra Montaverde a graduate in law, beautiful but broke at isang asawa na paulit-ulit lang namang niloloko at ginagawang tanga harap-harapan. I don't want to pity for the things that already happened at kahit lumuhod at umiyak pa ako ng dugo sa harapan ni Miguel ay kailanman hindi niya ako mamahalin katulad ng dati. If only I saw how things would go in our marriage life I hope I'm ready to face traversity in our lives, masakit iyong ikaw ang pinangakuan ng habang-buhay na pagmamahal ngunit sakit lang naman ang

Kabanata 12/revised "Finally we were able to get back to night life!" Masayang umiindak si Karen papasok sa bar. I see lot of cars in the parking area and I'm sure punong-puno na naman ang loob. "Ang daming tao." I commented when we finally entered the hall. "I'm sure na-miss mo ito. I'm happy na magkasama na ulit tayong magwalwal, Clea!" Natatawa niyang wika na parang lasing. Lasing ba siya? Kararating lang namin, a? Tapos siya parang ilang bote na ang natunga dahil sa kan'yang kilos! "Para kang lasing, Ren." I shook my head. Mabilis niya naman akong hinila papunta sa bar counter kaya nagpatangay nalang ako. Muntikan pa akong matalisod dahil sa mga taong nababanga namin. My friend is getting wild despite not having her drink yet. Parang baliw! "Cheers for your freedom! For a little while." Malakas niyang halakhak at kahit malakas ang tugtog rinig na rinig ko pa rin dahil sa laki ng tawa n'ya. I abruptly drink the tequila na ramdam kung tumagos ang lasa nito sa lalamunan

Kabanata 13/revised I moaned as he continue to devour my lips. Gumalaw ang kanyang mga kamay papunta sa aking dibdib. Mabilis niyang hinawakan ang dalawa kung bundok kaya napaliyad ako sa sensasyong dulot n'yon. "A-ahh" His kisses went down in my neck as he get an easy access when I tilted my head. He massaged my breast firmly making me gasp as pain and pleasure take control in my whole body. Pinakawalan niya ang aking dibdib as he draw circles in my tummy making me gasp in so much sensation. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagpintig ng aking kaibuturan. Ang aking halinghing ay kumakawala sa'king bibig na parang musika sa kan'yang pandinig at mas lalo pang inilakbay ang kanyang labi papunta sa'king dibdib. His mouth take control in my breast as he suck them like an ice cream, a hungry child for his mother's milk. "Mi-guel" I moaned when his hands traveled beneath my undergarments. Ang kaninang kamay na nasa sa'king puson at naglalaro ngayon ay dumapo na sa'king perlas. He cupped my w

KABANATA 13.1 "Let's go home?" "Humingi ka lang yata ng sorry para umuwi ako sa Duma na kasama ka 'no?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay ng yakapin na naman n'ya ako. "No, I really want this relationship to work out. Bumangon na tayo?" He asked and kissed my left cheek. "Good morning my love." He said sending butterflies in my belly. I pinch his long nose. "You should bring me breakfast in bed every morning. Akala ko ba manliligaw ka ulit?" I emphasized the word ulit making him rolled his eyes. "Sabi ko manligaw hindi maging tagasilbi mo." Tingnan mo 'tong kupal na 'to! Inirapan ko siya sabay tapon ng unan sa kan'yang mukha. "Nakakainis ka!" "Let's go downstairs, nandito sila Mari." He said making me roll my eyes. Nandidito na naman ang mga pinsan niyang hindi ako gusto, akala naman nila gusto ko sila. Those brats who can't be tamed, akala mo may ari ng mundo. "Dito nalang tayo, I don't like walking downstairs." I said. Mabilis naman niya akong binalingan ng tingin at kinunut

KABANATA 14—REVISED "Ma'am Clea. Ma'am Clea!" Habol sa'kin ni mang Lucio pero hindi ko siya ni lingon. My heart is aching with my action. "Ma'am Clea… bakit po gano'n, bakit po kung kailan nakalimutan na namin ang sakit 'tsaka naman namin malalaman ang lahat ng ito? Buong buhay ni tatay nasa bukid lang umiikot tapos mawawala nalang 'yun dahil sakanya—nawalan kami ng kabuhayan dahil sa kanya! Hindi ako nakapag-aral kasi wala na kaming hanapbuhay! Tapos ngayon makakalabas siya, para ano pa! Putang ina niyo!" Sigaw ni Millicent sa likuran ko pero kitang-kita ko kung paano sila hatakin ng mga bodyguard ni Miguel palayo sa'min. My heart is crying for them but I still don't know what to do— I know what to do but I choose to be mum because I love him. Kilala ko sila isa-isa dahil kasama ko sila sa loob ng maraming taon. They were our workers in the hacienda and at that time my heart fell for them with utmost respect. "You don't need to feel sad about them, love. The important thing is w

KABANATA 15—REVISED "Miguel naman! Wala sa plano na tumakbo ka sa senado!" I shouted angrily. He is sipping his coffee and I can't hold this! He gently touched my hands and smiled. "Love, dad needs me. He wants me to run for the senate position. It will help our business more." Can't he be contented at once? May negosyo na naman na. Everything is doing well in the company bakit kailangan pa na tumakbo sa lintik na politika na 'yan? "You know the drill Miguel! Magulo. Maingay at marami ang pwedeng mangyari. I want to have a peaceful environment!" Naiiyak kung sigaw sa harapan niya para maiintindihan niya man lang ako kahit kaunti. "Clea, this is not forever. The campaign will just last for months. It won't take a lifetime, love." He gently spoke but I doubted. Kilala ko si Miguel and I know how much he loves his father and that he's willing to become a monster for him. Alam ko kung paano at gaano karumi maglaro ang mga Velarde and I can't stand knowing that my husband will beco

KABANATA 15.1 (REVISED) "You are just my cousin's wife. Ano kayang nakita ni kuya Miguel sa'yo at pinakasalan ka niya 'no?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay dahil talagang sinundan niya pa ako para lang magkasagutan kami. "You're a walking catastrophe." She said sternly but I only laugh at her silliness. "Are you done?" I ask her brows. "Because I still have paper work to do, you're wasting too much of my time." I said languidly. "Makukuha ko din ang posisyon mo sa kompanya balang araw Clea." She said feverishly dahil kahit maging pink pa ang buwan hinding-hindi 'yun mangyayari. "Whatever." I shook my head before walking away from her. "Why did you call?" I just rolled my eyes hearing his baritone voice. "What did you do this time?" Alam na alam agad Cleo? "I just threatened the owner of E.S pharmaceutics. You know…" mahina kong wika kaya rinig na rinig ko ang malakas niyang buntong-hininga. "I was irritated kaya nasabihan ko lang naman siya na ipapatumba ko siya kapag hindi siya mag-

KABANATA 17—REVISED When you thought everything was alright , think again, because you wouldn't know what's coming next. "Love, I'll get going." He walk faster near me as he give kissed in my forehead. "Papasundo ka nalang kay manong Roger kapag natagalan ako mamaya, a?" I only nodded at mabilis siyang niyakap. He get busier everyday and I don't know how to retrieve the lost days and catch up with each other. Habang nasa magkaiba kaming trabaho pakiramdam ko ang tagal-tagal na no'ng nagkasama kaming dalawa—just us. We forget how to ask each other how our day gets going because we were too busy in our own perspectives. The lost days were like years apart. "Nasa kotse na nga pala ang mga extra posters na naprint ko kagabi, love." He nodded and fastly walk away from our room. "Ingat!" I shouted and he only glance at me and mouthed I love you. I sigh deeply and massaged my temple, I should be used to this dahil simula palang ito. Hindi pa dito matatapos ang lahat at gustong-gusto

Three I hate how fate play. Palagi nalang itong nagwawagi. Palaging nasusunod. Palaging dahilan ng mga sakit at lungkot. "You're alone?" Aaric asked. "Mukha ba akong may kasama?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Galit agad? Nagtatanong lang, a." Mabilis siyang umupo sa harapan ko which made me rolled eyes again. "Ano na naman ba ang kailangan mo attorney, Maur?" Naiinis kung tanong sa kanya. Kung saan-saan nalang siya sumusulpot na parang kabute! "Sabing Caed nalang, e." Kamot-kamot niya sa ulo. "Bakit sinusundan mo na naman ako, ha?" Free time ko ngayon at dahil wala pa naman kaming maraming case na hina-handle ngayon ay marami akong oras. "Grabe ka naman, miss attorney! Hindi mo ako stalker ha!" "Ano nga ba kasi ang kailangan mo? Huwag mong sabihin may gusto ka sa'kin? Sinasabi ko sa'yo hindi kita type!" Malakas siyang humalakhak na may kasama pang paghawak sa tiyan at naluluha na. "Hindi din kita type, Miss Attorney! Baka mapatay pa ako." May pa waksi-waksi pa si

2 Months being in the Philippines has been different. The way Joaquin entered in another school at kung paano s'ya nakatagpo ng mga kaibigan, he's enjoying his stay but I can't help but to get worried every single day na baka makita s'ya ni Miguel at magkakilala silang dalawa. I'm ready to face what the truth has to offer and its consequences but the mere fact that I still don't know how to explain everything to my son bothers me a lot. "Mom, let's go?" Kinalabit ako ni Joaquin ng makita n'ya akong nakatingin sa kanya ng matagal. I nodded and smiled as how excited he is to go to school everyday. Sana… kung dumating man ang araw na malaman n'ya ang lahat tungkol sa ama niya makita pa rin ako ng anak ko bilang mabuting ina. I can't endure the pain it will cause me if my son will hate me. "Wala ka na ba ang naiwan sa room mo? Are all your assignments done?" Binalingan ko siya ng tingin, he's busy looking around that he just nodded abruptly. Mabilis lang naman ang naging byahe nam

Una Kanina pa ako ikot nang ikot sa upuan ko dahil sa sobrang kaba. "Ang ganda mo, madam!" Exaggerated na wika ng baklang nagmi-make-up sa'kin. "Thanks," I replied hesitantly. I know I'm pretty pero alam ko rin na hindi naman basihan ang kagandahan para hindi ka ipagpalit. No matter what a woman has become, she may wear the crown in the universe, possess the beauty and perfection pero hindi no'n mababago ang isang lalaki kung gago na talaga siya. Men should change because they wanted to, hindi dahil gusto naming mga babae. We only want to be valued and love pero minsan kahit gaano ka simple ang gusto naming mga babae hindi pa rin nabibigay sa'min 'yun ng mga lalaki. "Sigurado akong ikaw ang pinakabunga sa party mamaya" agap niyang sabi ng makita niya akong nakangiti ng malungkot. I'm nervous. Nervous because after so many years I will finally see those who believe in me again. Ang mga investors na nahakot ko dati, they organize a charity event and I'm invited. No one knew I'

PART II I waited… for him to change. For him to love me the way I deserve. I'm no princess but I deserve to be treated right. To be loved and to be taken care of was my only dream. Pero hindi… hindi niya nagawang iparamdam sa'kin na mahal niya ako. He made me feel worthless at hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin magawang mahalin ang sarili ko katulad ng dati. I'm still broke and despite not wanting him anymore, I know he's my cure. "Mom, it's so hot!" Kitang-kita ko ang inis na rumehistro sa mukha ng anak ko. The sun is scornful making him grimace in annoyance as we headed out in the airport. I patted his head and smiled. "This is the Philippines, Quin. What do you expect?" I slowly laugh as I see him roll his eyes. "Can we go back in Norway now? I can't think I'll ever live here. It's so mainit, mommy." Ilang beses siyang nagpahid sa pawis niyang tumutulo sa Mukha niya kaya marahan ko siyang nilapitan at pinunasan. Habang lumalaki siya mas lalo siyang nagiging kamukha ni ano… h

KABANATA 32 "Mom it's family day! Yohooo!" kagigising lang ni Joaquin pero full energy nakaagad ito dahil family day ng school ngayon. Oo, pinasok na n'ya si Joaquin sa regular school after his birthday dahil normal naman ang anak niya and she realize na kahit magtago man sila sa kung saang bahagi ng kasuluksulukan ng mundo kung magtatagpuin talaga ang mag-ama ay wala na siyang magagawa. "Yes love, but before that you need to take your bath and eat breakfast. You want me to help you?" Nakangiti n'yang tanong sa anak at hinalikan ito sa pisngi. "Nope. I'm already a big boy mom so you don't need to help me now." Ngiwi naman nito sa kanya pero yinakap pa rin naman s'ya kaya mas lalo siyang napangiti. "Wait… did I just heard you pronouncing the 'r' sound without stuttering love?" Nanlaki ang mata niya ng ma-realize na nabigkas nga ni Joaquin ang already with the 'r'. "Yup. Tita Gorgeous and I practice it yesterday and I now can pronounce words with r sound with no sweat. Easy pea

"Help her doc, please." Pagmamakaawang wika ng kapatid ko. "No! You should have let me die..." Umiiyak kong usal pero mabilis lang na umiiling si Karen at tiningnan ang doctor. "Doc, pakalmahin niyo po siya." Karen pleaded. Umiwas nalang muli ako ng tingin sa kanila dahil pagod na pagod na ako. The nurse injected me something that I lost my consciousness again. Muli akong nagising. Agad na nilibot ng aking mata ang paligid at nakita kong natutulog si Karen sa'king tabi. Nakayuko siya, ang katawan ang nakaupo sa isang upuan at ang kanyang ulo ay nasa bed ko. She's holding my hands as if she's afraid I might run or something. Siguro gabi na dahil hindi ko naman nakikita ang nasa labas. I touch her hair kaya agad naman siyang napagalaw. "Clea...? Do you need anything? May masakit ba?" Nabukadkad siya at dali-dali akong tiningnan. "No," I shook my head and gently smile. "Tawagin ko lang si Doc, sandali lang." Sabi niya at mabilis akong iniwan sa kwarto ng ospital. Sinundan

"Magmumukmok ka nalang ba rito buong araw Clea?" Naiinis na usal ng kapatid ko at binigyan ako ng masamang tingin. "Just leave me alone Cleo." Inirapan ko siya at muling nagtalukbong sa kumot. Malakas niyang hinablot ang kumot kaya sinigawan ko siya. "Ano ba! I need to be alone!" "Kailan mo gustong mapag-isa? Habangbuhay? You'll not going to eat just because of that stupid moron." He said sternly but I avoided his stare. "You are sulking here while he's out there trying to win his campaign and he doesn't even think of you." Tumulo na naman ang luha ko dahil ang sakit niyang magsalita huh! "Bakit ba? Ano naman ang masama sa pag-iyak huh?" Humihikbi kong wika. "Walang masama sa umiyak, ang sa'kin lang dalawang araw ka ng nakakulong rito sa kwarto." Mahina niyang wika na tila naiintindihan niya ako. "Manood tayo ng balita sa ibaba dahil ngayon bibilangin ang boto ng mga mananalo." Hinawakan niya ako sa balikat pero malakas akong napahagulgol nang yakapin na ako ng kapatid ko.

Weeks had passed like a flash pero nandidito pa rin ako sa bahay. Nothing had changed 'tho, dahil dalawang araw nalang bago ang eleksyon ay busy na busy na masyado si Miguel at hindi na rin siya umuuwi ng bahay for the whole week. No text nor calls, para akong naghihintay rito nang milagro. I am not yet allowed to go out, and day by day mas lalo lang sumasama ang pakiramdam ko. Palagi akong nahihilo at kada gising nasusuka ako. Hindi ko alam kong normal pa ba ito, sa pagkain rin ay mas ginanaganahan ako kaya pakiramdam ko mas tumataba ako ngayon. "Hello?" Tanong ko sa kausap ko sa kabilang linya. Hindi ko na kasi tiningnan ang caller dahil busy ako sa pagpapak ng santol pero wala ng ketchup at ice cream nalang ulit. "Pack your things, aalis ka na d'yan sa inyo." Maikling wika ni Cleo at doon lang ako napatingin sa pangalan ng kausap ko at kapatid ko nga ito. "What? Why?!" Napatayo ako sa sinabi niya dahil hindi ko na naman siya maintindihan. "I already know everything. I just

"What now? You'll going to wait here, for what?" Naiinis na singhal sa'kin ni Cleo pero wala ako sa mood sagutin siya kaya inirapan ko nalang. "Clea ano ba? You weren't raise to become this hopelessly in love with someone who can't even ask if you're okay!" Matigas niyang wika kaya napayuko ako. "I am okay." Mahina ko nalang bulong na mas nagpataas at nagpakunot pa sa noo niya. "I should have bring you back to Norway. Look at yourself, you look extra pale and weary." Pinag-aralan niya ang mukha ko kaya napaiwas lang ulit ako sa kaniya. "Cleo... Okay nga lang, huwag ka ng mag-alala riyan." Sagot ko sa kaniya. Mahina siyang napailing. "Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko sa'yo Clea." He muttered. "Hayaan mo muna kasi ako and please don't tell anything about this to Daddy, papauwiin lang ulit ako n'on." I whispered. "Hanggang kailan kita dapat hayaan? Kapag hindi mo na kaya at pasuko na?" Seryoso niyang tanong at tingin sa akin. I deep sigh and shrugged my shoulders. "Baka kap
