They’re slowly fading out until those voices are completely hushed. Mabilis ang naging paghinga ni Ozanne. It seems like all the pent up sufferings she kept inside of her was slowly gushing out as she shed beads of tears.
Ang malakas na paghikbi niya ang tanging maririnig. Yves kept silent and he continued to caress her back. He pat the top of her head and occasionally whispered on her ears.
“It’s okay. I’m here, I won’t leave you. It’s okay.”
Those words unleashed Ozanne’s hidden feelings but it also started lull her. Unti-unting humina ang pag iyak ni Ozanne.
Marahang kumakalma ang kaniyang paghinga hanggang sa naramdaman na lamang niya ang pagsarado ng talukip ng kaniyang mata. Tila pagod na pagod siya hanggang sa tuluyag bumagbagsak ng buo niyang kabigatan tungo kay Yves.

Magaan ang pakiramdam ni Ozanne. She felt so refreshed. Kinapa niya ang katabi ngunit tangin

•Ozanne• “ A son? How old is he?” “He’s seven.” “Do you have a picture of him? I’m sure magandang lalaki rin katulad ng tatay.” Nakangiting turan ni Mrs. Herrera. “Hahaha, sakto lang po.” Nahihiyang inabot naman ni Marcus ang kaniyang telepono. “Oh! What a cute boy! He looks so much like you, Marcus.” Abot tengang ngiti ng ginang. She was moving her fingers seems like she is zooming picture. Magalang na napangiti lamang si Marcus sa papuri nito. She heaved a sigh. “When will I ever have a grandchild, son? I am expecting to see little kiddos running around the house. It has been months since you two got married and still nothing? What happened to your sperm, son? Don’t tell me your getting weak on bed?” “Say what?!” Agad na napabalikwas si Yves sa pagkasandal sa upuan. Mahinang natatawa si Marcus pati na rin ang ama ni Yves. “ Don’t be such a pussy, Merrick. You’re disgracing our name.” Nang aasar na sambit naman ng ama

•Ozanne•She felt a sudden pity. Naipagkakait niya ba ang karapatan ng kaniyang asawa. ‘Hindi’ pagtututol ng isip niya. Simula pa lang ay nilinaw niya na kay Yves na ang relasyon nila ay pawang kasunduan lamang. He even agreed to let her have her freedom. Ang tanging nais lamang ni Yves ay ang hindi siya magkaroon ng ibang karelasyon.‘Kung ganoon ay bakit mo sinuko ang Bataan?’Oo nga naman. Hindi naman siguro paraan iyon ni Ozanne upang makuha ang loob ni Yves gaya ng utos ng kaniyang ina. O baka naman ay ginusto rin ni Ozanne ito.Neither. Maging si Ozanne ay hindi alam kung bakit nawalan siya ng kontrol ng araw na iyon. Kaya iniiwasan niya ang mga tanong ni Yves lalo pa’t patungkol ito sa mga ganoong bagay.Sa tuwing hinahawakan siya ni Yves. Sa tuwing tinitigan siya nito na para bang siya lang ang tanging nasa paningin nito. Sa tuwing dumadampi ang kaniyang mga labi sa kaniya. Hindi niya maiwasang manghi

It just happened that she was there in your office.”“I thought I already made it clear that I’m already done with you.” Lumapit na si Yves sa kaniya. Bahagyang tinatabunan ng kaniyang anino si Marianna.“What did you tell her?”“Nothing much.” Inilapat ni Marianna ang dalawang palad nito sa daibdib ni Yves. “ But if you’re really eager to know, we can make some

“You didn’t wake me up! Hindi man lang ako nagpaalam sa kanila. That’s rude.” Inis na sambit ni Ozanne pagkarating ni Yves. Pagkagising niya ay walang tao sa loob ng kwarto pati na sa kabila.“Hey, it’s okay. They understand, they don’t even mind it.” Pagpapakalma ni Yves. Nilakad niya ang kanilang pagitan at agad na hinawakan ang mukha ni Ozanne.“Still, you should have woken me up. Tinanghali nako ng gising. It’s almost 10.” Nakakunot ang kaniyang kilay when Yves squeezed her cheeks.“ It’s already enough that you’re a beauty, why can you also be a cutie? “ Mas lalo pang nanggigil si Yves at mas pinagdiinan pa Ang kaniyang pisngi.Ozanne used all her strength para makawala.
