Out Of Balance[ TAMARA POV. ]I HAVE immediately diverted my eyes throughout the bar until I saw him debating with two men at the counter.I hurriedly walk over to them and the man nothing else was done but disturb the quiet life I live.“U-uhm, excuse me—” The three of them looked at me when I approached."OH, My wife," Magnus immediately stood up and approached me.I suddenly support his body so he doesn't fall on the ground.“Why are you getting drunk? What is your problem?!" I asked slowly, I could feel his weight as he clung to my shoulder and waist."You know that you are my problem. But thank you for coming, wife,” Magnus said in a drunken voice."Stand well!" I sharply look at him in the eyes, then I turned to the in front of us. “I'm sorry for the inconvenience of my... h-husband,” I had no choice but to claim he was my husband.Magnus was drunk so he couldn't hear what I have said.“It’s okay, ma’am. By the way, I’m the manager of this bar and I was also the one who talked t
Emergency "TAMARA, you have a visitor," Bianca shouted after she knocks on my bedroom door.I frowned when I opened the door. "Who?"“I don't know, Sis, but he said you know him. He is outside now, waiting for you.”"All right, I'll just take a look after I'm doing something."When the door closed, I resumed dressing in house clothes. Bianca and I just went home from a tiring day of work.After getting dressed I go out of my room and proceed to face my guest. I sighed when I saw the person I have been trying to avoid because of what had happened to us in his condo.Magnus nodded and approached me seriously right in front of the door I was standing on."What's the point—""Are you avoiding me?"I was swallowed hard by the seriousness of his voice and as he stared at me."W-what about if I avoid you?" my answer.Magnus sighed. “Please… can we talk? What happened in my condo last time night—”"You're drunk! I also know you don’t know what you doing. So please, let’s just forget about tha
Grocery StoresIT HAD been three days since Margot was admitted to the hospital. I also haven't been in the office for three days because I personally took care of her, that's because she didn't want Felix to take care of her. Margot always ignored her husband.I don’t know whom I would feel more pity for. If it's Margot, who lost a child like me, or Felix who is so worried about his wife's condition and emotions."Marg?" I called out to Margot who was stagnating. Without expression, she turned to me."What?" She asked reluctantly."You will get out of here now.""So?" she still didn't feel like answering.“Margot, I understand how you feel. But I hope you will talk to your husband. He is really worried too much for you.”“Understand? Why, have you ever experienced did I experience, huh Tamara? I lost my child, Tam, for God’s sake. And it’s because of his mother!”I sigh. I wish I could answer her with, ‘Yes, I also lost my child, and I feel hurt, more than what you feel.’“You're not
Forgiveness "U-UHM."I sigh. "Excuse me." I backed away from my cart. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eyes. she was still there, still facing me and staring.“T-Tamara, dad wants to see you. He wants to see you again,”I stopped at what I heard."H-he tried to find you."I turned to Rebeka without emotion. "And why does he want to see me?" I seriously ask her.“He missed you... so much,” she said softly.I shook my head and smiled sardonically. “Are you kidding me? Me, what is your dad looking for? Impossible.”I turned around, once pushing the cart toward the counter.“T-Tamara, p-please. Daddy is s-sick right now,” I stopped again but did not look back. “W-will you please visit him? H-he wants to see you badly,”I heard Rebeka's voice growl. I turned to her again. "H-he's sick?" I ask.Rebeka nodded sadly. "Y-yes, he had a heart attack, and he was a stroke.” she was already sniffing.I was shocked to find out. Yes, Uncle Arthur made a mistake for me then, he and his family.
A LetterIT'S BEEN two weeks since Rebeka, Uncle Arthur, and I met. And since then, my chest has seemed lighter. I felt real joy in my heart.I have been visiting them once in a while in the new house I bought. I support them- financially. I also shoulder my uncle's therapists for his complete recovery.As I watched a movie, I learned something about the word 'One More Chance'; It sounds like, do not hesitate to give second chances to the people we love. Forgiving and forgetting are the only ways to ease the pain.Rebeka was sincere in apologizing. They are just a family I have right now. So, maybe I quickly forgave them. Especially Uncle Arthur.I sighed as I remembered Magnus. Fortunately, he hasn't bothered me since our last conversation at the hospital. I'm more focused on avoiding him now, whether in a call or text.Maybe, that person is also busy because he does not appear again.A text message popped up for me as I entered the office. I'm coming out later from the conference roo
StuckMagnus entered the kitchen. He was back carrying a spoon and fork, as well as a saucer. He opened the cake box. I read the small but all big letter written there, 'SORRY'. He looked at me, but I just lifted him with eyebrows."Sorry if I was too busy these past few days, babe. I'm sorry if I don't visit often and I'm sorry for all my mistakes with you,""Too hokey! Is that all you came here today?""It's okay even if I'm hokey, and at least, I'm saying the truth. Even if it irritates you, I will still beg again and again. Even if I'm embarrassed, it's okay because I'm used to it. Even if you always busted me, it's okay, as long as I will not give up. Even if you push me, I still won't give up. My Mrs. Tamara Palmer Wellington... I love you, my heart loves you so much. You can ask me anything, just don't ask me to stay away from you, because that's what I don't want to follow,""The length of your words!""I love you so much. That's really how I love you," he even winked at me."E
CummingI DID not hesitate to respond to the kiss by Magnus. He was really the same as before, a good kisser and still very good at seducing me. He still can activate the heat in every fiber of my body.He stopped kissing me, and I slowly opened my eyes. He cupped my face with his hands and looked straight into my eyes."Tamara," his breath gently fanned my face. “I will pursue it but not because it is the only I want from you. I do it because I want to, not because you are still my wife and I still have a right to you,”I gulped at what Magnus said.“I will do it because my heart wants it. Baby, I love you. I know it's hard for you to believe in me again.”Gradually my defense crumbled while looking and listening to him.“Babe, I’ll understand if you want me to stop right now. But please, let me try it. Feel me again, baby. Just stop me if you’re not yet ready.” Then he kissed me again, seductively.I closed my eyes and relished the warmth of his lips. I didn’t stop him. I let him dee
Be Right Back “I WON’T leave you,” Magnus said and lay beside me.I immediately covered my body with the blanket and then I turned away. “We’re already done pleasuring ourselves. What else do you want from me?” I seriously said while I was turned away from him.I heard his deep sigh. “You’re asking me what I want, hmm?”I swallowed as I felt his bare chest behind me."You," his lips trailed over my bare shoulder. “It was always been you, Tamara. You and me again, wife.” He held my waist, then hugged me."Do you hear what you're saying?" I removed his arms wrapped around my waist. “Do you think I’d still believe you after what you’ve done before?”Magnus was speechless.“I don't want to believe you again, Magnus! I know as well that after all this you will also change again and hurt— ” I suddenly stopped and let out a deep sigh. “You will still fool me later just like before. You have done it twice, and it's enough.”“It’s not my intention before, wife. And I don't at least think right
