Patricia's POV

The next day, I just woke up that Callum was no longer at home, maybe he was already at work.

"What a playful morning again" I whispered.

My eyes focused on the side table where the invitation Callum had given last night was placed. It will happen tonight.

I can’t help but be nervous.

Habang kumakain ako ng almusal ay may dumating na isang delivery. A woman handed me a large white box.

"Maybe you're mistaken. I didn't order anything-"

"Sa inyo po ito, Mam Zara. Ipinadala po ito ni Mrs. Velasquez para isuot niyo sa party" the girl smiled sweetly.

I accepted the box and she left immediately.

Damn, why are they treating me so special? I opened the box out of confussion and almost dropped my jaw when I saw what inside.

I picked up a champagne dress that included a pair of nude stilletos with a tiny crystal design around it.

Gosh, it's so pretty!

Clothes and shoes like this were surely expensive! Well, I won't be surprised because they are rich.

    Patricia's POV "Where have you been?" Iyon ang salubong sa'kin ni Callum ng bumalik ako sa table namin galing sa banyo. He was in the usual blank expression unlike earlier who was smiling while talking to Zara. "Sa comfort room lang" sagot ko. I just stared at the desserts in front of me and chose to just drink some water. I lost my appetite. I also saw mommy who was already at their table and eating. The noise around got louder because of the whispers and laughter of the guests. Callum is busy on his phone now and I'm just playing with the spoon in my hand while waiting for the party to end. "Are you okay?" I looked up to Callum. "Yeah.." "Do you want some-" "Nah, this will do" I said and showed him the desserts and drinks I hadn’t touched yet. I was silent and looking around but I could still feel Callum's gaze on me. That makes me more concious and restless in my seat. I can see him in my peripheral vision. He's not taking off his eyes on me. "Have you tried their o

    Patricia's POV I was quietly reading a biology book here in the library when someone sat beside me. "Hey! Mag kwento ka nga!" Jess interrupted me. "Anong nangyari roon sa party noong nakaraan?! Hindi mo pa sinasabi sa'kin!" Napairap ako sa ingay niya. Kaya nga hindi ko na siya sinama rito dahil mangungulit lang siya. Talagang sinundan pa ako. "Huy!" kinalabit niya ako. "Balita ko naroon si Zara? I even saw their pictures online-" "There's nothing important there, Jess" "Ang sungit mo naman" tumawa siya. "Sabagay, kahit ako maiinis kung ganoon makalingkis sa asawa ko ang babaeng 'yon!" "Hindi ako naiinis, Jess!" mariin kong tanggi. I folded the book I was reading. I lost my concentration because of her. "Sus, talaga ba?" Tumayo na ako at iniwan siya. Alam kong aasarin niya na naman ako. A few days have passed since Mr. Salvador's party but I still can't get off to my mind what happened that night. I was hunted by it. To Zara's desperation, tears and to their complicated

    Patricia's POV "Could you please informed me? Your mom told me that you weren't at their home so I was worried" Callum's serious voice echoed in the living room. I didn't answer. Nanatili akong nakayuko at kinakalikot ang mga daliri ko. I never thought he would talk to me in such serious way. "Nanibago lang ako dahil hindi kita nadatnan dito. You had my number so I hope that you just called or texted me" Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at sumagot na ako sa kanya. "I'm safe, okay? Nakatulog ako sa condo ni Jess at hindi ko namalayan ang oras" He's too talkative today, huh. I just got home late! Pero kapag siya naman ang gabi na umuuwi ay wala akong sinasabi. "But a guy answered my call earlier. Are you letting someone else hold your phone?" may pag-aakusa sa tono niya. "Sinagot ni Tyrone ang tawag dahil natutulog ako-" "Oh yeah, Tyrone is the name. Next time don't do that again" bumuntong hininga siya. "You may now rest" Napaismid na lang ako sa pagsusungit niya. Tinal

    Patricia's POV "What's your plan?" Namuo ang kuryosidad ko sa tanong ni Jess. Nandito kami sa may field at nagpapahangin dahil katatapos lang ng isa naming activity na ginawa sa laboratory kanina. It was awesome. "Plano tungkol saan?" "Duh! Ganito lang ako pero binibilang ko ang araw simula ng ikasal kayo ni Callum!" sabi niya at ipinakita ang screen ng phone niya. "Calendar? Yeah, it's july 14 today" simple kong sabi. Umikot ang mata niya at parang naiinis bago itinuro ang mismong date ngayon. Tama naman ako, ah? "You dumb! Manhid ka talaga! July 14 ngayon at ikinasal ka ay April 14!" halos pandilatan niya ako ng mata. "It means 3 months na kayong kasal!" Kumunot lang ang noo ko at nagtataka na tumingin sa kanya. "Oh, yeah..it's been three months" Parang kailan lang ng malaman ko na ipapakasal ako ni mommy. I don’t expect us to last like this. Well, our married life will really work because me and Callum don't interfere in each other's business. "Oh my god, Patricia! Hind

    Patricia's POV I keep looking around to make sure no one else is looking and watching my movements. I sat quietly while Raven ordered our food. Dinala niya ako rito sa paborito kong japanese restaurant. Nagtataka nga ako noong una kung bakit alam nya na dito ako mahilig kumain. "Are you sure that’s all you want to eat?" marahan na tanong ni Raven. "Yes.." I smiled shortly before looking around again. I don’t know what I should say or react to what he's doing. I was not comfortable with his stare so I just continued to look around and gently clasped my hand over the table. "So it's true.." Lumingon ako sa kanya at naabutan siya'ng mariin ang tingin sa kamay ko. Gradually, my eyes widened to realize what he was staring at my hand. He's specifically looking at my wedding ring! "Uh-what are you s-saying?" pagkukunwari ko. He smiled sadly before pointing to my hand that was now resting on my thigh. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla akong kinabahan at nawalan ng salita. "You're rea

    Patricia's POV "I need us to talk" Nahigit ko ang hininga at matapang na tumitig kay Callum. Tama ba itong ginawa ko? "About what?" he asked while drinking water. Humanap ako ng tiyempo para makausap siya at ng makita ko siya na papunta sa kusina ay sinundan ko na agad siya. "About..us" I said and my mind was a bit occupied. When I actually talk to him, I lose my words. It feels like his presence always absorbs my courage. "You mean about our marriage" he turned to me. "What about that?" Tila hindi siya interesado base sa reaksyon niya kaya ginapangan ako ng irita. "We need to have an agreement" mahinahon kong sabi. "I realized we haven't talked about it so I think it's about time" He pursed his lips before raising a brow. "Yeah, I forgot about that too. I'm too busy with the company.." Buti naman ay alam niya! Kung hindi ko pa sasabihin ay hindi niya gagawin? "Let's talk about it in my room" Agad nanlaki ang mata ko. "What?! Bakit kailangan na roon pa?" "We had to

    Patricia's POV I want to continue my sleep but the sound of the alarm clock on the side table envelops my ears. I slowly opened my eyes before turning off the alarm. "Gosh! It's morning again" I murmured before getting up. Inayos ko muna ang sarili ko bago lumabas ngunit pababa pa lang ako sa hagdan ng may makita akong babaeng nakatalikod sa may ibaba habang may hawak na mop at nilalampaso ang sahig. Mabilis kumunot ang noo ko. Nang marinig niya ang yabag ko ay lumingon siya sa'kin at doon ko lang napagmasdan ang mukha niya. Who's this? She's not familiar with me. I stared at her from head to toe, she's just wearing a simple shirt and a long pants. Tingin ko ay nasa mid 40's na rin sya. "Good morning, mam" bungad niya at naunahan akong mag salita. "Sino po kayo?" maingat kong tanong. "Kasambahay niyo po. Ipinasok po kami ni Sir Callum dito kaninang umaga lang. Dati na rin po kaming nagtatrabaho sa kanila pero roon po sa bahay ng magulang niya" Tumango ako, a little bit amus

    Patricia's POV "It's you.." My eyes was still widened. Hindi ako makapaniwala. Alam ko na halata sa itsura ko ang pagkagulat ngunit hindi ko iyon nakikita sa kanya. She looks confident. She cross her arm while still rising a brow. Pakiramdam ko ay iniinsulto niya na ako sa paraan ng pag tingin niya. Huminga ako ng malalim at kinalma ang sarili. Hindi pwedeng ganito. I need to act normal and professional. Calm yourself, Patricia! "So, you're Patricia Clemente, huh?" mapanuya na sabi niya. "Yes, w-who are you?" maang kong tanong. She smirked. "Stop acting that you don't know me" Sinabi niya 'yon sa napakaarte na boses kaya ginapangan agad ako ng irita. Kinuyom ko ang kamay ko at normal na lumakad palapit sa kanya. She rised a brows again when I placed my bag on the sofa. "What do you need?" I asked patiently. "I'm waiting for Callum to come home" she seated again. She didn't even answered my question. Manhid ba ang babaeng 'to o sadyang wala talaga siya'ng hiya? In a vis

    CALLUM’S POV “How’s life of being a married man again?” I sip to my coffee before looking at Austine in front of me. “I can’t explain the feeling, Austine…” I answered. “Still reminiscing how we started,” It’s been what? A year now, since Patricia and I got married. Our relationship flowed so well. I’m still managing the company while Patricia is on her clinic. Ngayon, nagulat ako sa biglaang pag bisita ni Austine at kapatid kong si Ram sa’kin. Narito kami sa garden. Patricia was not at home, she was just going out to buy something. Austine is sharing some of his and Jess misunderstanding. “She’s asking for a break up?” I asked in surprise. “Why?” Lumihis ng tingin si Austine. “She wants to settle down already and you know I’m still not ready…” Natahimik kami Ram. Kaibigan ko siya at mahalaga si Jess kay Pat, hindi magandang mag hiwalay sila. “Bakit ba hindi ka pa ready?” ani Ram. “You two not getting younger anymore. Syempre, naiinggit ‘yon at naiisip na magpakasal-“ “Ayaw

    CALLUM’S POV“Finally, you got her again. We’re happy for you,”I smiled at Austine, who were my best man again beside me while we were waiting for the big and elegant door to open. I roamed my eyes around and can’t help but to smile seeing our families together.“Thank you, bro…” bumuga ako ng hangin at pinagdaop ang palad. “Kinakabahan ako,”Natawa si Austine. “Ngayon ka pa ba kakabahan? Totoo na ang nararamdaman niyo ngayon. Unlike on the first wedding, you two look so stiffed,”Yeah, I remember that. How the beautiful Patricia glared at me while we’re exchanging vows. How we pretend that we love each other but today? There’s no pretending anymore.Today is our wedding day. Today will be one of the best day of my life for sure.“Dalawang beses na kayo ikakasal,” biglang sabi ni Austine. “Ngayon, naiinggit na si Jess. Sana walang pangatlo, ha”“Why don’t you marry her, then?” I asked confused.I frowned when I saw a hesitation in his face. “Alam mo naman na hindi pa ako ready. My bu

    CALLUM’S POV“Callum, I swear, this is a silly idea!”Hindi ko pinansin si Austine na nakasimangot sa tabi ko. Nandito kami ngayon sa parking malapit lang sa clinic ni Patricia.“Come on, go outside. Do it!” pag pilit ko kay Austine na lumabas ng sasakyan ko.I pointed to him Patricia’s car just in front of us.“Damn, bakit ba kasi ako sumama sayo!” he gasped dramatically. “I can’t believe you come up with this corny idea-““Just shut up and do my favor,”I pushed him until he opened the door irritatingly.“Sa lahat ng humihingi ng pabor, ikaw ang makapal ang mukha!” usal niya. “Fuck, I don’t know you anymore. Ganito ka pala ka-corny pagdating sa pag-ibig. You’re whipped!”Natawa ako dahil nakasimangot siya’ng lumapit sa sasakyan ni Patricia. Tumingin muna siya sa paligid bago binutas ang gulong ng sasakyan. I smiled secretly. Perfect!Austine is still frowning when he returns.“Damn, I’m done! Wag mo na ulit ako idadawit sa ganitong bagay!”I tapped his shoulder before he left me her

    CALLUM’S POV“Callum, I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to make that happen…”Umalingawngaw ang pag iyak ni Zara habang nakayuko sa harap ko. I didn’t expect her to be my visitor this morning.“Patricia’s right, I was too desperate. To get you, to snatch you from her,” she continuously sobbed. “The loss of your child makes me so guilty to what I did. I can't sleep at the thought of you both grieving,”Nag tiim bagang ako habang pinanonood siya.“What will I do with your sorry if she leaves? She left me and you can’t do anything about it,” malamig kong sabi.I saw her shoulder shaking. Hindi ako naaawa sa kanya.“Why are you here, anyway?” I asked harshly. “I don’t want to see you! I fucking hate you, Zara!”“I’m here to apologize, C-Callum-““I don’t need that,”In the middle of crying, she took something from her bag. She’s trembling and handed it to me, I didn't accept it so she just put it on the table.It was the supposed evidence against the Mr. Laurier. The recordings and some pic

    PATRICIA’S POV“Doc, ano po ang update kay Miss Bella? Banned na po siya rito di ‘ba?I nodded to Nurse Aubrey as I studied my patient's urine test results this morning.“Yeah, I’m sorry about last week. Nakita niyo pa,”Hindi ko masyadong iniisip si Bella dahil sabi ni Callum, si Mrs. Velasquez mismo ang kumausap dito para tigilan na kami.So far, my interactions with Callum was good. Last week, we go out for a dinner. He still gives me flowers, we even visited Agatha. What we’re doing are so far to what I was thinking before. Akala ko...hindi na ‘yon mauulit. Akala ko mananatili na lang kaming iwas sa isa’t isa.“Ayos lang, doc. Mukhang okay na kayo ng asawa niyo,”I smiled with her term. Hindi na ako sanay na kilalanin si Callum bilang asawa dahil ilang taon kaming nagkahiwalay. Pero ngayon, pinararamdam niya sa’kin lahat ng bagay na hindi ko naranasan dahil lumayo ako.He also went to our house and talked to my parents.He asked permission to pursue me again.

    PATRICIA’S POVSeven years ago, I told myself to focus on my career, becoming a doctor. I thought it would be my priority through the years but when I came back here, a lot had changed.I can't understand myself anymore. I thought...I'll never feel anything for Callum. I just fooled myself.Ngayon, parang tanga ako’ng naghihintay ng pag punta niya rito sa clinic ko! I keep looking outside my office.“Patricia, stop it!” I whispered to myself.Pinilit kong mag focus sa trabaho. Ayaw kong maapektuhan ito ng mga iniisip ko. But minutes just passed, I just found myself staring at my phone and waiting for his reply, damn it!“Ano bang nangyayari sa’kin…” naguguluhan kong bulong.Tumayo ako at lumabas sa office.Natagpuan ko sila Nurse Aubrey na abala sa pag inject sa mga babies na kararating lang. Lihim pa ako’ng napasulyap sa labas ng clinic pero malinis doon.Bumuntong hininga ako bago nag asikaso sa ibang pasyente. Nakalimutan ko saglit ang iniisip. Natuwa ako sa mga batang paslit na pi

    PATRICIA’S POV Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin at unang isipin. Kung ang tungkol ba sa trabaho ko o ang mga bagay na ginagawa ni Callum ngayon. Pagkatapos niya’ng sabihin sa’kin ang chance na gusto niya, palagi na siya’ng dumadalaw sa clinic ko. Halos araw-araw. Sending me flowers and foods sometimes. But what gave me a strange feeling was the things he showed me. Pakiramdam ko, malapit na ako’ng mabaliw sa ginagawa niya. “Doc, may flowers po ulit para sa inyo!” Nakangiting tumakbo palapit sa’kin si Nurse Aubrey habang hawak ang isang boquet ng roses. Bumuntong hininga ako bago ito kinuha. “Grabe, absent nga siya ngayon pero may flowers parin!” kinikilig niya’ng usal. Napailing ako bago binuklat ang note sa flowers. To my doktora: I can’t see you now because of a sudden meeting but expect me tomorrow. My face flushed after reading that. What’s with the flowers though? Hindi ko na nga alam kung saan ko pa ilalagay ang mga bulaklak na ibinibigay niya sa’kin. Ang iba

    PATRICIA’S POV My day didn’t go so well. Pumasok ako sa trabahong wala sa mood. Apektado parin ako sa nangyari samin kahapon ni Bella. I didn’t expect that to happen that way. I was so shocked. Bukod kay Zara noon, isa rin siya sa taong nagsabi sa’kin ng mga ganoong salita. Why do I feel that I’m the antagonist here? Kaya nga ako umalis dahil nasaktan ako, sinaktan nila ako. Pakiramdam ko ako lang ang sagabal sa kanila pero heto na naman. It's like I'm the reason between them again. Is Bella another version of Zara Banner? But some point, I realized something from what Bella said. Tama nga siguro siya na dapat hindi na ako bumalik, na ako lang ang gumugulo sa kanila but that’s not my intention. Should I gave her the satisfaction that she want? Para matapos na. Para hindi na ako masali sa kung ano’ng gulo tungkol kay Callum. Should I talk to him for our annulment? For them to be happy? I would gladly cooperate though. “Doktora…may bisita po kayo” I stopped writing the necessary

Maliit lang ang clinic ko at kailangan ng malaking doktor na hahawak sa kanya. Naalaa ko si Jaime dahil sa ospital nila. “Akyat na lang po kayo roon sa office ni doc. Hintayin niyo na lang po siya roon dahil nasa emergency room pa…” saad ng nurse. “Thank you,” Ngumiti siya at hinagod ako mula ulo hanggang paa. Nagtataka ako’ng tumalikod sa kanya papunta sa elevator. May mali ba sa suot ko? I’m just wearing an off shoulder dress. Nakalugay lang din ang buhok ko.Hindi ko na lang ‘yon pinansin at pumunta na sa 5th floor. Nang makarating ako roon ay wala masyadong tao. Ilang nurses lang.
