NewsI frowned at the sight of my newlywed best friend.Margot was really not joking. She goes to the office to work, a thought that she just got married yesterday. She was really stubborn!I smiled as I approached her department. I went straight to sitting in the chair in front of her.“Hey there, Mrs. Montreal. What are you doing here, hmm?""Hey, good morning, Tamara." A smile flashed on her lips.I raised my brows. “Why are you here?”“I’m working. Why?” she also raised an eyebrow.“Jeez, I know! But you just got married! Aren’t you supposed to be on your vacation leave?”“There is no reason for me to that vacation leave, Tam. We’re not a normal couple and you know that” she frowned while saying it.I scoffed. “Your husband couldn't stop you to enter here now? Tsk, you really give a headache to your husband, Margot. Anyway, how was the honeymoon last night? did you enjoy it?” I just wanted to tease my pregnant best friend.“Hey, will you please stop teasing me, Tamara Palmer? And w
BlinkedI knocked first three times before I entered. "Hi, aunt."“Oh, Tam, hi. What brings you here, sweetie?” Aunt Damian smiled immediately.I kissed her cheek, then sat down in frontof her desk. "Uhm, Aunt, why Margot is still not here?"“Oh, her husband Felix informed me her wife is not coming today. I think Margot having morning sickness carrying her baby,” she replied.“Ah, okay. Anyway, where’s Bianca?” she is her new OJT student.“Oh, she hasn't arrived yet. Maybe she might be absent today because she was finding a new cheaper apartment. What a pity for that child. If my house really only had space, I might be offered her my house to reside in temporarily. But my house is under renovation now,” she said in a pitiful tone.“Really? Oh, kindly tell her, Aunt, when she came into went immediately to my office.”"Okay, I will. But why?"“Because I can help her with it. She can stay while she is still undergoing OJT in this company. Margot is already left my home. So I think, she c
Still Married I SLOWLY turned my head to Erwin. "H-hey, let's go,"I stuttered grabbing his attention from him who was now staring also in the direction of Magnus.Shit! Why am I so nervous? What’s wrong with me? It's just Magnus.I blinked, then gently pulled Erwin's arms again. Magnus looked at me."L-let's go, Erwin."Keep calm, Tamara. Just ignore him.“Who is he, Tammy? Why did he look so badto me?" Erwin whispered near my ear.“I-I don’t know. Let's just ignore it.”"Okay, let's go then."I still clung to Erwin's arms until we settled into our separate offices. Before entering, Erwin clenched his fist in front of me. I was hesitant to decide whether to do the same.Why was I stressing myself out that much? What now if Magnus saw me with a male companion?I sighed, and then I finally moved my fist to fist at him even though there was a pair of eyes earnestly glancing at me during those hours.That is our gesture to each other when separating. But now, it seems different. I first
Dear WifeyI MET his gaze. “So, yes, really? What you want to imply now if you don’t admit to yourself that I'm really what you meant then like before, and chase me again and dig like before?”Magnus grinned and still shook his head. “Hmm, you are too advanced to think about it. Okay, to tell you the truth, I’m here because I want to talk to you.”I smiled. “See? It's okay with me if you say you really want to see me too.”"Partly, yes.""H-huh?"“Yes, I also want to see you because I want to talk to my wife. Happy to hear that?”He then approached me a little bit on my face.“Again, I’m not your wife anymore. We are gone. It's been a long time.”“Yes. But the fact is we’re still married. So, whether you accept it or not, you’re still mine... You hear me?”I laughed. “I don’t even care about it. We just only bind in a piece of paper. So you don’t have the right to own me.”“Really? That's why you dare to show and be proud of me you have something new now?”I frowned. Ah, I knew it. It
Determined [ Tamara Pov... ] WE WERE having our lunch at one of the most exclusive restaurants in town. I had no choice. No, because I was shuddered by Magnus's threat so I just go with him now. I just thought I didn’t want to be chaos and issues within the company so I quietly just agreed to this lunch with him. I was quietly blown away by the wind whileglancing at Magnus. His features hadn’t changed at all. I admit that he was even more stunned in my eyes now. Hmm... He really enjoyed eating while I didjust played with the food in front of me. “You don’t like the food I ordered, Tamara?” I immediately took my eyes off him. “I like it. But I'm full. “You can't get full enough of just staring atme.” He grinned and immediately raised an eyebrow at me. “Oh, really?” I rolled my eyes. Magnus shook his head, then stabbed a beefsteak and brought it to my mouth. "Eat." "Hey, I don't want to," I said, then tapped his hand. “Eat or I’ll kiss you?” “I don’t want to. Stop it." "
Unexpected Dinner[ Tamara Pov ]AT LAST, I'm happy because temporarily I'm with someone again. Although she gets uneasy, Bianca agrees to stay at my house while she is still in town for his on-the-job training.I know Bianca is still shy even though she is almost two weeks living at home. But still, though I always remind her not to feel uncomfortable with me."So, you're really going home to the province now?" I asked Bianca as I was driving home.“Yes, Tamara. That's what Mom and Dad know I am going home today. I haven't been to the office for a few days because it's a holiday on Monday and Tuesday,” Bianca replied."Anyway, it's still Saturday tomorrow. But are you really going home now? Isn't it dangerous to travel at night?” I worriedly asked her.“Thank you for your concern. It is not dangerous because it only takes three hours to travel on the way home. My brother and father will pick me up at the bus terminal before I arrive.”"Okay then," I agreed. I don't want to interfere a
ReminiscingRather than rest I just took care of my unfinished work earlier in the office. I spent my time at work and there I poured out my annoyance to Magnus.When it was eleven o'clock in the evening I went downstairs to see if Magnus was still in the living room.He was still there— asleep and twisted because of the cold coming from the stand fan.The stubbornness of this man's head. He would find it harder on the little sofa than to go home to rest properly.I was tempted to go up again to get some blankets. Yes, I hate him, but there is still some left of my conscience.Back in the living room, I approached Magnus, then I laid the blanket on his shoulder and body. I wish I could wake him up and send him home, but there are really traces of tiredness on his face, it may be because of a day at work.I decided to let him rest in my house. Maybe, when he wakes up later he will leave immediately.I sighed when I was free to stare at the entirety of his face. The owner of the face tha
Throwback 1"TAMARA... Hey, baby."A voice brings me back to the present. Someone caressed my wet cheek. A couple of worried eyes stare at a part of my weakness.I shook Magnus's hand, I wiped the tears that never stopped flowing."Get out!" I say emphatically.He sighed. "I know I've made a lot of mistakes. I know I'm the reason for your tears and heartaches right now. Tamara, I'm so sorry, sorry I have made the mistake I have made for so many years for you.""Sorry?!" I said while my tears still continue to flow. "I-I hope it's that easy so I can forget everything you did with the pain in my feelings then. I tried to forget that nightmare in my life, but you are here again to remind me of all the pain.""Tamara, I know, sorry, can't fix all the foolish things I did to you before." I saw Magnus kneel in front of me. "I also know it's not easy to forgive." He stared at me in pity. "I want to correct it all. I want to make up for everything. Please, please, just let me ease the pain, ba
