Parang nabingi si Madeleine sa narinig. She refused to believe what she had heard from him. Siguro ay dahil wala siya sa tamang huwisyo at kung ano-ano nalang ang kan’yang naririnig. Ngunit kahit ganoon man, her little heart can’t help but to tremble in joy and longing, but at the same time she stilled her heart dahil natatakot siya na baka ay umasa na naman siya.Yes. Dapat na siyang makontento. If she wanted to stay by his side, keeping mum over her feelings was the right choice. Hindi niya alam kung hanggang kailan siya mananatili sa tabi nito, but just a little longer pa sana. She wanted to cherish this, until he no longer needed her anymore. Para sa huli ay wala siyang pagsisihan so that when the time comes na aalis na siya, she would hold onto this feelings tightly kahit wala na si Perez sa tabi niya.Even loving him in the distance was already enough to make her happy. She shouldn’t be too selfish, kasi in the first place, she was nothing but a wife in name only. “Okay lang a

“Oh my god!” Singhap ni Gina sabay yakap sa anak. Nakalimutan niya ang lahat ng galit kanina at nasisiyahan na tinignan ang maliit na tiyan ni Francheska. “That’s great news! Magkaka-apo na tayo, honey!” nasisiyahang sabi ni Gina sabay lingon sa asawa. But contrary to her excitement, no emotion was shown to Edison’s face. He was not excited nor giving any enthusiasm to what’s happening. Bagkos ay nakaramdam lamang siya ng matinding disappointment at galit sa kan’yang kaloob-looban. “Magpa-public apology ka parin, Francheska. If you want to still live comfortably, h’wag mong hayaan na mawala ang business. We can still save the company if you do it. H’wag kang masiyadong maarte!” riin niyang sabi sa anak. Ngunit nagmatigas pa rin ito at hindi pumayag, “Ayoko ko nga! Why would I apologize? Sila naman ang nagsimula!” naiiritang saad ni Francheska kay Edison. “Of course, baby. You don’t need to do anything. Honey maybe we can find another way. Just tell Madeleine na hindi totoo ang la

Nang malaman ni Madeleine na si Perez mismo ang nagsabi at umamin kay Charlotte na mag-asawa sila ay nagsimula na siyang mag-alala. It was not a good thing na may nakaka-alam. She was happy, but what if when the time comes na maghiwalay na sila? It will not help and instead, will just create problems.Ano ang sasabihin niya kay Charlotte? Naguguluhan siya. Hindi niya alam kung may plano ba si Perez o ano para sabihin nito ang relasyon nilang dalawa kay Charlotte. After all, nasa kontrata rin kasi na bawal ipagsabi sa kung sino-sino man na mag-asawa silang dalawa. Lumipas ang maraming araw matapos ang pangyayaring iyon ay tuluyan nang gumaling si Madeleine. Kung tutuusin ay it was not that long that she got better after that, but for some reason, hindi siya pinayagan ng doktor na bumalik sa trabaho muna. Kahapon lang siya nito binigyan ng signal na puwede na siyang bumalik sa pag-arte. Nakatanggap siya ng text galing kay Vector na kailangan niyang mag-post at magparamdam na sa media

"Mr. President, a report had arrived. Mr. Dela Cruz, didn't took the bait at naisalba niya rin ang kanilang business. Although they are still facing a lot of loopholes, he still managed to properly handle the situation," balita sa kan'ya ng kan'yang bodyguard. Napahinto si Perez sa pagtitipa and his eyes deepened. The atmosphere seemed to drop a little when Perez heard that. 'So that guy actually was not that stupid, huh? That's surprising' Isip-isip ni Perez. Napasandal siya sa kan'yang swivel chair habang pinisil-pisil ang kan'yang labi. Malalim ang kan'yang iniisip ngunit mayamaya pa ay binuksan niya ang folder ba binigay sa kan'ya ng bodyguard kanina kasabay nang pagkakasabi nito sa balita. Habang binabasa ang laman ng report, nalaman ni Perez na these days, nagkakamalabuan na ang relasyon nila ni Francheska at Lawrence. As their wedding got closer and closer, Francheska became more hysteric and sensitive. It was not sure if it was because of her pregnancy but because of her

Humingi ng tulog si Madeleine sa mga bodyguards ni Perez na ilayo si Lawrence habang yakap-yakap niya si Perez sa beywang para pigilan ito sa kung ano pang magawa nito kay Lawrence. Habang dala-dala nila si Lawrence kung saan ay pinapakalma niya rin si Perez. Ramdam ni Madeleine ang pagpipilit nitong hindi sumabog sa galit. He was clenching his fist and his face darkened as his eyes never fixed in anything. Perez was so out of it, pero nasa tamang huwisyo pa rin ito dahil nakikinig pa rin siya kay Madeleine. It was like the only thing who can make him hold onto his sanity was Madeleine, at alam rin ito ni Madeleine kaya hindi niya agad binitawan si Perez hanggang sa hindi pa ito kumalma ng tuluyan. Nang makita ni Madeleine ang seryosong mukha nito ay hinawakan niya ang kamay ni Perez para kausapin ito. "Umuwi na tayo, okay?" Suhistiyon ni Madeleine rito. Napadpad ang tingin ni Perez sa bakas ng pasa nito sa pulupulsuhan at muling dumilim ang kan'yang mukha sa nakita. Bumilis ang

Sa sumunod na araw, bumalik sa dati ang lahat na para bang walang nangyari. Madeleine might seem okay on the outside but she was still caught by what she knew last night. Sa totoo lang ay hindi pa rin mawala sa isip at puso niya ang tungkol kay Barbara."I'll go to your rehearsals today," biglang anunsyo ni Perez sa kan’ya. Nagulat si Madeleine sa sinabi nito."Huh? Bakit? Wala ka bang trabaho ngayon?" kinakabahang tanong niya.Kumunot ang noo ni Perez sa reaksyon nito. "Why? Hindi mo ba ako gustong sumama sa iyo?""Hindi naman pero kung kung wala kang trabaho, magpahinga ka na lang. Mas kailangan mo iyon ngayon," mahinang pagtanggi ni Madeleine kay Perez.Nakita niya ang pagsimangot ni Perez. “What do you mean by that? Did you j—” Hindi natuloy ang sasabihin ni Perez dahil bigla siyang nakatanggap ng tawag. He didn’t have a choice but to accept the call since it was related to work kaya hindi man niya gusto ay nagpaalam siya kay Madeleine para sagutin ang tawag.Habang pinapanood ni

“At talaga ngang sinusubok mo ako, Barbara! You are being insensible. I’ve raised you, binigay ko sa’yo ang magandang buhay ngayon ay susuwayin mo lang ako. I can’t believe nakipagbalikan ka sa lalaking iyon. I supported you before dahil you said Xenon will get the inheritance. Now, what? He cheated on you; he already loses the trust with some of the board members!” galit na sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.Napakagat ng labi si Barbara at pinapakalma ang kan’yang galit na ama. “Dad, just trust me one more time, okay? I love Xenon, you know that. He also loves me, gano’n naman siguro ang pag-ibig di’ba, Dad? This is just a challenge that we need to conquer. Xenon had always been the one who was cast aside from any business matters, I want to give him a chance to prove himself. And if I can help him, I will do this to make him happy. Let’s support him one more time.” Pagkukumbinsido ni Barbara sa kan’yang ama.“You.. foolish child!” sigaw naman ng kan’yang ama. “Don’t be fooled with that ma

Walang magawa si Madeleine kundi tignan kung ano na ang nangyayari sa social media. Napahilot siya sa kan’yang sintido nang makitang walang ginawang statement ang MAHARLIKA dito. Although hindi na ito masiyadong nakakalat sa social media marami pa rin ang nag-aabang na article tungkol sa kung ano talaga ang ugnayan nilang dalawa ni Terrence.Hindi na niya mapigilan na tawagan si Terrence.“Mady.” Nakailang ring pa lamang ay agad na sinagot ni Terrence ang tawag ni Madeleine.This was the first time that Madeleine called him, deep in his heart, he was secretly happy.Ngunit hindi pinansin ang masayang tono sa boses ni Terrence at agad niyang isinabi ang pakay ng kan’yang pagtawag.“Terrence, wala pa bang statement ang agency natin about sa issue sa ating dalawa? Dapat na nating i-clear ‘yung article ano nalang iisipin ng mga tao. Baka maniwala silang lahat na may relasyon talaga tayo,” sabi niya kay Terrence.Narinig niya ang pagbugtong hininga ni Terrence sa kabilang linya. “Actually,

“You saved me, Perez. I am so sorry to bother you when you are together with your wife,” agad nagsalita si Barbara nang makapasok na siya sa kotse at umupo sa backseat. Madeleine peaked at the rear-view mirror and was suddenly shy when she was caught by Barbara for looking at her.“Hello, you are Madeleine, right? I am Barbara, by the way. Perez’s bestfriend,” pakilala ni Barbara sabay lahad ng kan’yang kamay.It would be rude to not accept the handshake kaya agad tinanggap ni Madeleine ang kamay nito at nag-handshake silang dalawa.“Why did you do, Barbara? Ito ang unang beses na naglayas ka, what are even doing?” pagalit na tanong ni Perez ngunit may halong pag-aalala sa boses nito. Tahimik lang si Madeleine at nakikinig.“Nag-away lang kami ni Dad, okay? Maliit na hindi pagkakaunawaan lang,” sagot naman ni Barbara.“Small misunderstanding? Is it enough for you to run away? Just like that?” hindi makapaniwalang wika ni Perez habang nagmamaneho.Hindi na pinansin ni Barbara si Perez

Hindi makapagsalita si Madeleine, para bang may bumabara sa kan’yang lalamunan and she doesn’t have the courage to speak up. Madeleine unconsciously fumbled the hem of her shirt and hummed to answer his call. “Are you okay?” Rinig niyang tanong ni Perez at may pag-aalala sa boses nito. Strangely enough, she somewhat kind of heard his footsteps like he was walking up the stairs with his breath slightly rugged, probably through the exertion of movements. Madeleine found herself relieved and let go of all her worries before answering. “Yes, ikaw?” “Hmmm,” sagot lamang ni Perez. ‘Di na napigilan ni Madeleine at siya na mismo ang unang nagsalita tungkol sa issue. She explained, “N-nakita mo ba ang balita? Magkaibigan lang talaga kami ni Terrence. Nagkita lang kami at kasama ang mama niya. Pinakilala niya lang ako bilang katrabaho. Kung ano man ang nababasa mo online, Perez, sana h’wag mong paniwalaan.” Hindi alam ni Madeleine kung paano niya ii-explain kay Perez ang katotohanan basta a

Hindi pa natapos ang party ay umuwi na sila Perez at Madeleine. Contrary to Madeleine’s worry, after those rude remarks from Felipe ay wala nang nagtangkang insultuhin o mag-isip na kalabanin si Madeleine. It was a peaceful and normal party, ngunit dahil napansin ni Perez na medyo hindi na maganda ang pakiramdam ni Madeleine ay agad niya itog inalalayan papauwi.Lumipas ang ilang araw ay hindi naging maganda ang pakikitungo ni Madeleine kay Perez. Maski man siya ang naiinis sa sarili kung bakit niya tinatarayan pa minsan-minsan o ‘di kaya’y ‘di niya papansinin ang asawa, ngunit sa tuwing lumalapit ito sa kan’ya ay parati niyang naaamoy ang pamilyar na pabango sa katawan nito.She knew she shouldn’t be like this, pero talagang naiinis siya. She was not that sensitive before, she wondered what was going on with her these past few weeks.Akala niya ay maiinis na sa kan’ya si Perez dahil napaka-moody niya ngunit nakakapagtaka lang dahil mas lalo itong nag-aalala sa kan’ya.Inaalala pa lan

“Why are you at the hospital, Madeleine? May nangyari ba sa iyo? Is anything wrong?” tanong ni Terrence sa kan’ya pagkatapos nilang kumain sa isang pribadong restaurant. Bakas sa mukha nito ang pag-aalala.“Ah, wala. Para lang iyon sa regular checkup ko,” sagot niya sabay iwas ng tingin, Uminom siya ng tubig at hindi tinignan sa mata si Terrence. Tinitigan ni Terrence si Madeleine at hindi nagsalita, na para bang sinusuri niya ito kung nagsasalita ba ito ng totoo. Mayamaya pa ay napabugtong hininga ito. “You are not a good liar, Madeleine. I saw it, it was wrong for me to ask knowing you usually don’t want anybody knows whenever there’s something wrong. Alam ko na ayaw mong maging pabigat but it just hurts those people around you na pinapahalagahan ka. I am your friend, am i? Gusto ko lang malaman kung okay ka, ayaw kong malaman isang araw na may nangyari na pa lang masama sa iyo,” nag-aalalang sabi ni Terrence kay Madeleine. Napakagat ng labi si Madeleine nang marinig iyon at hin

Perez gave out a cold aura as he was shuffling the papers on his hands. Hindi mawala sa isip niya si Madeleine. Dalawang araw na ang nakakalilipas at hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya pa rin mawari kung bakit iba ang kinikilos ng kan’yang asawa. Pakiramdam niya ay unti-unting lumalayo ang loob ni Madeleine sa kan’ya. It was like she was hiding something and that she was distancing herself from him for some reason.Perez grew anxious by that, may mali ba siyang nagawa? Ngunit kapag lumalapit at naglalambing siya rito, hindi naman ito umaayaw. She let him kiss her and hugged her like everything was fine but the thing was, Perez knew too well that something between them was going downhill. “Mr. President, the meeting is about to start. We need to go now,” pag-a-anunsyo ni Francis. Perez was in his bad mood since yesterday, Francis was being too careful these days but today’s meeting was important kaya hindi na puwedeng ipa-schedule pa niya itong muli. After all, the agenda for today’s me

Nasa may sala si Madeleine at naghihintay kay Perez. Ngunit, sumapit ang alas onse ng gabi ay wala pa rin ito. Hindi na niya namalayan na sa kakahintay niya ay nakatulog na pala siya sa sofa. Narinig na lang lamang niya ang pagbukas ng pinto kaya dahan-dahan niyang iminulat ang kan’yang mga mata. “Madeleine?”rinig niyang tawag ni Perez sa kan’ya. Madeleine’s head was hazed and her sight was still blurry from being woken up ngunit pinilit pa rin niya ang sarili na tumingala para tignan si Perez. Nang makita niya ang mukha ni Perez at ang banayad nitong ngiti habang nakatingin sa kan’ya ay agad nawala ang kan’yang antok at kusang din namuo ang malaking ngiti sa kan’yang mga labi. Perez took off his suit coat and put it at the arm rest of the sofa bago siya umupo. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ni Madeleine nang hawakan siya nito sa pisngi. Madeleine closed her eyes, nuzzling her own cheek at his warm palm. “How’s your day? You look tired,” tanong ni Perez habang mahinang hinimas-himas an
