“I will never love you as I love Katherine,” Those were the words that keep revolving in her mind as she fixes herself in the mirror.
She doesn't even know why he hates her. All she could was to love him. She didn't expect that day to happen. No matter how hard she tries, he pushes her away. It’s been a month since that day happened. Palagi lang siyang nilalagpasan ni Lucas at tiningnan lamang siya ng masama.
After a month of being with him. Nothing changed between them at mas lumala pa ang pagtrato ni Lucas kay Reigna. He even brought Katherine to their house, making stupid things that made her miserable.
Her mom always asked if she was okay but she did lie to her — if only she knew the truth about how Lucas treated her ay baka pinuntahan na niya ito at pagalitan. Lucas was cold as ice, ruthless at walang pakialam sa kanya. Since they were being married Reigna suffers at his bad attitude. Sometimes she thinks about why she even married a person who didn't love her?
That was the stupid mistake she made in her entire life. Now, she suffered and thought that she lost everything, especially herself.
She was happy when her parents announced that she was going to marry Lucas. She was so excited back then but now she wants to give up everything and run away from her nightmare. She just wants to live happily with someone who will truly love her, but she cannot force Lucas to love her. All she wanted was his attention, care and love.
She can’t do anything to undo all things but one thing is for sure, Lucas will never love her.
“Give me water.” Lucas said so suddenly as he dropped his body onto the sofa.
Reigna quickly took water for Lucas. She gave it to him with a little smile on her face.
“Reigna, please clean the house, someone will arrive.” He said as he took the water from her.
“Sino?”
“Huwag ka ng magtanong, bilis maglinis kana at pagkatapos mo dyan ay bumili ka ng makakain natin sa labas. Naiintindihan mo ba?”
She nodded and she started cleaning.
Pagkatapos niyang gawin lahat ang ipinapagawa ni Lucas sa kanya ay lumakad na kaagad siya para bumili ng makakain sa labas.
But when she went back home, she saw something that would make her heart shattered into pieces. Her beloved husband kissed his lover, Katherine. As they exchanged deep kisses, they did not feel that someone was watching them.
She tried to hold her tears but she failed. An abundant tear was flowing upon her cheeks that made her release what she was carrying.
Pero hindi pa rin nila maramdaman na may taong nakatingin sa kanila. She decided to wipe her tears as she picked up the food she dropped from the floor.
“Until now you still careless, makakain pa ba iyan?” Reigna was shocked as she raised her head. Hindi niya nararamdaman na nasa harapan na niya pala si Lucas.
“I’m sorry,”
“Go get yourself in the kitchen and prepare that food.”
“Honey you are so bad at her, please calm down.” Katherine interrupted.
Nang matapos na niyang kunin ang lahat ng pagkain, paulit-ulit na sumisilip sa kanyang isipan kung paano ni Lucas tingnan si Katherine at kung paano niya ito siniil ng halik na may halong pagmamahal na kahit kailan ay hindi niya mararanasan.
She wanted to throw something to their heads but instead she just finished what Lucas made her do.
Habang kumakain ang dalawa ay di niya mapigilan na sumilip. Naiinggit siya kung ano man ang meron sa kanila ngayon, tumatawa habang kumakain. Ngayon niya lang nakita si Lucas na ganoon kasaya habang kasama ang totoong mahal niya. She felt jealous of how Lucas treated Katherine. She formed a fist and couldn't do anything while watching them. She saw every little thing they did that made her heart rip and torn.
She wants to burst out crying in front of them and tell them how they hurt her. How those things made her fall apart. She just wants Lucas to love her but in the end she has nothing. She composed herself and trying to manage not to cry.
“Can we talk?” Reigna interrupted them.
“Nakita mo bang kumakain pa kami?” Lucas said.
Her eyes were now empty and her heart shattered. All she could do was standing in front of them trying not to feel weak. Reigna was standing in the edge of despair.
“Honey, pagbigyan mo na siya ba ka importante ang sasabihin niya.” Katherine said in a soft tone.
Maganda si Katherine, minsan natanong ni Reigna kung ano ang wala sa kanya na meron sa babaeng mahal ni Lucas.
“Okay, ano ba iyan?” Reigna came back to reality when Lucas spoke.
She took a deep breath before saying a word. “ I really want a divorce. Let’s get divorce and I will never disturb you again.”
Katherine's jaw dropped as if she didn't believe that Reigna would say those words in front of them.
But she remained bolder and looked at his eyes without a hint of pain but inside of her were already broken.
Lucas' eyes widened. Akala niya ay hindi totohanin ni Reigna ang sinabi niya nung nakaraang araw dahil sa kanya ay biro lang na makikipagdivorce siya nito. Besides, mawawala ang lahat kay Lucas kapag mangyari man iyon.
When Lucas came back to his senses, he spoke. “ What did you say?” Lucas stood up from the chair and stared into her eyes.
“Let's end this marriage. I know you will never fall for me. Katherine must deserve your presence and not like me who make your life miserable.” She said in full determination.
“You can’t do that to me.” He said in disbelief. “Ano na lang ang sasabihin ng parents mo, parents ko?”
“Wala na akong pake Lucas, ikaw na ang bahalang magpaliwanag sa kanila. Total gusto mo naman diba na lumayo ako sayo upang magsama na kayong dalawa?” She said without a hint of doubt.
Lucas wasn't expecting those words from Reigna. Parang hindi na niya ito kilala ngayon. She was firm and not weak.
“I’ve finally made up my mind. I want a divorce.” She emphasized it.
Reigna Mendoza can’t believe about what the doctor said to her. She wasn’t in her mind at the moment. She didn't even digest the words to her head. “You are two weeks pregnant ma’am. Congratulations!”That's were the words that keep on revolving in her head. She's in the kitchen, drinking a glass of water for the 4th time. She cannot even blink her eyes because of the news. She felt uneasy and burdened.All she could think was the result of what the doctor said this morning. She feared what might Lucas reaction if he knew the truth. Her pregnancy wasn’t plan at all. Worry and anxious were written all over her face. “What I’m going to do?” She whispered worriedly as she took a long deep breath.“Should I now packed my things and left him immediately so that I can start my new life with my baby?” She said in herself not knowing that Lucas was in there standing at the door.“What did you just say?” He said as he stepped forward to her.“Nothing,” She said at umiwas ng tingin.“Dinala
A phone call rang throughout the room. Lucas Miller took his phone from the side table and answered it with a big smile when he saw who was calling.“Awesome!” A loud soft voice greeted him.“Thank You babe,” he replied “You should've done this a long time ago." She said, with a glimpse of eagerness.“You should never have married that woman!" She added.Babe, you already know the reason behind this diba? Kung hindi ko pinakasalan ang babaeng iyon wala akong makukuhang mana kay Dad.” He gently spoke.“Okay fine,”“Now that I totally freed myself. I will marry you soon.” “Really?” She said excitedly.“Yeah babe, I promise.”“Babe, let us celebrate now because you did a great job.” “Hmm, why did you never say that when you came here minutes ago?”“Because you never said that you divorce her. You just want to see me right?” She said,“I’m so jealous of that woman when you are with her.” She added.“I’m sorry babe, it’s my parents will. Besides, I was married to her but I never saw her
Reigna's mind racing as she sat down waiting to hear the results of her pregnancy. She was with Edward, her best friend who had her back since day one.“Mrs. Mille— she cut off what the doctor was going to say.“It’s Ms. Mendoza, doctor.”“Ahh okay Ms. Mendoza, I am happy to inform you that your baby is healthy.” The doctor said with a big bright smile and Reigna let out a deep breath as she plastered her smile.“Thank you so much doctor,” she smiled upon holding her two hands with herself while she couldn't hold back her joy.If only Lucas had known about her pregnancy and he would have accepted her, she would have told the good news directly.As Reigna hurried to leave the hospital with Edward, all she could think was Lucas and her child. Reigna wrapped her hand around Edward's arms as she looked at and caressed her stomach while feeling the child inside her womb.She said sorry to her mind for her child for the failing marriage with her ex-husband.In their marriage Reigna never f
The day I found out that I was pregnant with his child, Lucas Miller and I had been broken up.We have been settled for an arranged marriage by our parents. I was overjoyed at that time by the fact that I was going to marry my childhood crush.But our marriage didn't start well. He was so ruthless to me and I devoured it every single day.So I gave up and asked for a divorce, packed my things then left.Without telling him that I was two weeks pregnant.****Reigna's POV, Dinala ako ni Mommy rito sa isang mamahaling restaurant. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin namin dito pero susundin ko na lang kung ano ang gusto niya. Umupo na kami at parang may hinihintay siya kasi hindi pa siya umorder ng pagkain."Mom, anong ginagawa natin dito?" Curious kong tanong kay Mommy."Sandali lang honey." She said as she lifted her neck pertaining that she was waiting for someone."Oh andito na pala sila" sabi ni Mommy at tumayo siya sabay yakap ni Tita."Masyado ba kaming late dumating?" tanong ni Tit
Lucas POV,Namumuo ang galit sa loob ko habang papunta ako sa bahay namin habang sinusundan ako Mommy na nasa likod ko. Pinagalitan ako tungkol sa mga bagay na hindi ko gustong gawin."Naiinis ako sa ugali mo, bakit ayaw mo siyang pakasalan?" Sabi niya na may galit ang pananalita."Tsk, you are so sure of what you want Mom? You want me to marry that girl?" Napaawang ang bibig ko sa gusto nilang mangyari.I just can't marry a girl na hindi ko naman mahal!Hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip nila, kung bakit gusto nila akong ipakasal sa ibang babae, malayo siya sa babaeng gusto ko."Our decision is final. At saka, siya ay isang mabuting babae. Kung makikilala mo siya ng lubusan masasabi mo na siya ay isang kamangha-manghang babae," sabi ni Dad.Wow, sure na sure sila sa babaeng yun. Hindi man lang nila pinakinggan ang desisyon ko."Dapat humingi ka ng tawad sa kanila." Idinagdag niya."No, I won't apologize to them and I told you, you don't force me to marry that girl that I didn
Nagniningning ang liwanag sa kwarto ko at binalot ang paligid ng malamig na malamig na simoy ng hangin na umihip sa kurtina ng bintana para ito ay bumukas at yumakap sa akin ng malamig na hangin.Napaka-elegante ng itsura ng buong kwarto ko dahil sa mga nagniningning na furniture designs na ngayon ay tinitigan ko gamit ang aking dalawang mata dahil sa pagkamangha ko habang nakakatitig ay nakaramdam din ako ng lungkot. Humiga na lang ako sa aking big size comfy bed at suot pa rin itong aking puting gown.Biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa nito si Lucas na galit na galit ang mukha kasabay nun ay ang pagkabalisa na aking nararamdaman."Shit bakit kailangan nilang pumunta dito? Ginawa ko naman ang gusto nila." Aniya habang marahas na kumukuha ng damit sa wardrobe."Sinong pupunta dito?" Tanong ko at bumangon."My parents, so you better compose yourself and act like I did not did wrong with you. Listen, we need to act like we love each other in front of them kahit ayaw ko, ang mana ko an
Naiwan si Reigna Mendoza na mag-isa sa kanyang silid matapos isara ng malakas ni Lucas ang pinto. Umupo siya sa kanyang kama at hinayaang tumulo ang kanyang mga luha mula sa kanyang hazel almond na mga mata.Ang kanyang mahinahong mga hikbi ay lumakas. Akala niya ay magiging masaya siya pagkatapos ng kanilang kasal ngunit nagkamali siya, sa halip ay natagpuan niya ang sarili sa isang bangungot.Feeling drained and emptiness of her soul that she couldn't recognize. Reigna dragged her heavy footsteps as she walked towards the comfort room. When she was in she gazed at herself in a mirror without any emotions.Habang tinitingnan niya ang kanyang mukha, hindi niya matukoy ang anumang sulyap ng kaligayahan kundi ang paghihirap.Gayunpaman, nang simulan niyang hubarin ang kanyang gusot na damit ay tinitigan niya ang kanyang hubad na repleksyon natanto niya na hindi ito ang buhay na pinangarap niya. Naaawa siyang tinignan ang sarili. Kinagat niya ang kanyang labi para kumalma."I'm sorry, hi
Ang walang tigil na dagundong ng kulog ay gumagala sa kalangitan habang ang kidlat ay tumama sa lupa at parang hahatiin na ito ang mundo sa dalawa. Ang kalangitan sa itaas ay puno ng stratus gray clouds habang nagbabantang bubuhos ang ulan. Habang handang alisin ni Inang Kalikasan ang kanyang galit, maririnig sa buong sulok ang masasakit na sigaw ni Reigna.Tumama ang malakas na sampal sa mukha niya, bumagsak ang katawan niya sa malamig na sahig dahil sa epekto ng malakas na sampal nito. Isang masakit na pagngiwi ang kumawala sa kanyang bibig habang patuloy na bumabagsak ang dugo mula sa kanyang bibig."Ahh please stop, don't do this to me," pakiusap ni Reigna sa asawa habang gumagapang, inabut niya ang paa ni Lucas habang lumuluha. She was trying to cool the atmosphere between them pero mas lalo lang nagalit si Lucas sa tuwing naririnig niya ang mga hikbi ni Reigna. "Tumigil ka sa pag-iyak, kung hindi lang sa mana hindi kita pakakasalan." Sumirit siya nang bakas sa boses niya ang pag
