-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)-

~7:30 PM~

Dean: Where are you? Kanina pa kita hinihintay.

Dean: Babe? Please answer me.

Kanina ko pa pinagmamasdan ang mensahe na iyon, at hindi ko magawang kumilos at maligo para sa date namin.

It felt like my feet were stuck to the ground, and I couldn't move them no matter how much I tried. Pakiramdam ko na-paralyse ang ibabang katawan ko.

Namataan ko ang mga gamot na antidepressants na nasa vanity table, my mind having numerous thoughts once more.

(You are nothing!)

(You are useless!!)

(You donā€™t deserve to be here in this world)

(You donā€™t deserve everything here.)

Those thoughts came rushing my mind like wildfire, tears streaming down my face as I stood up and grabbed the medicines.

Pakiramdam ko may sariling utak ang aking katawan at basta na lang binuksan ang bote na puno ng gamot, at saka isinalin sa aking kamay ang lahat ng laman nun.

(Thatā€™s it, do itā€¦ no one loves you anyway..)

(Just do it!! Your husband will meet you in the afterlifeā€¦)

ā€œLalā€¦ā€ I whispered before intaking all of the medicines, causing me to fall on the floor.

-(DEAN ALVAREZ POV)-

~*~

ā€œShit, Emyā€¦ come on, pick up the phone.ā€ I mumbled as I waited for the lights to turn green.

Kanina ko pa siya hinihintay at kanina ko pa ito tinatawagan ngunit hindi ito sumasagot sa mga tawag ko, at kinakabahan ako baka ano na ang nangyayari rito.

ā€œFvck, you better not kill yourself again, Emerald.ā€ Bulong ko muli nang hindi ito muli sumagot sa tawag ko.

Pinaandar ko ng mabilis ang aking kotse, never minding the cars in front of me as I sped up, the horn blaring as I tried to arrive on her location.

Nang makarating ako sa bahay nito, dali dali akong lumabas sa aking kotse at nagtungo sa harap ng pinto, banging on it when I realised it was locked.

ā€œEmerald, open the fvcking door!ā€ I snarled, anxiety creeping under my skin as I continued.

Walang alinlangan kong sinipa sipa ang pinto dahil kinakabahan na talaga ako para rito. Nang mabuksan ko iyon ay dali-dali akong nagtungo sa kwarto niya, my heart beating fast nang makita ko itong nakahandusay sa sahig, her mouth foaming and her body shivering uncontrollably.

ā€œPutangina.ā€ Bulong ko nang malapitan ko ito, quickly lifting her up without second thought.

Nilabas ko ito sa kanyang kwarto at nagtungo sa kotse ko, putting her in the back seat upang madala ko ito sa hospital.

ā€œThe fvck is wrong with you, babe?ā€ I mumbled before closing the door, quickly heading to the driverā€™s side.

Agad kong pinaandar ang kotse nang makapasok ako, anxiety and fear was enveloping my mind as I look at her from time to time.

Pleaseā€¦ stay aliveā€¦.

-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-

~ā€ ~

(I just- I bought the same perfume Jace has, I liked the smell of it.) Her words had me thinking over and over, and I canā€™t focus on my work because of it.

I sighed, quickly pressing on the intercom. ā€œSilas, kindly bring me some coffee please.ā€ Wika ko.

ā€œSir, there is also a woman here who claims to be your wife, shall I let her in?ā€ He proclaims, which caused me to wonder.

ā€œWho is she?ā€ I asked curiously.

ā€œI asked her, Sir. Her name is Jescel.ā€ He answered.

ā€œAlright, let her in and bring me a cup of coffee, thank you.ā€ Giit ko bago sumandal sa swivel chair.

ā€œHey baby.ā€ She started as soon as she opened the door, her free hand holding a paper bag.

"Hi. What's that you have there?" I asked as I played with the pen in my hand.

"I bought your favourite, ginataang papaya." She answered as she raised the bag, a small smile on her face.

My brows were furrowed as soon as I heard her sentence, wondering if I heard that correctly.

"Favourite?" I asked while my brows were furrowed.

"Yes, don't you like it?" Tanong nito nang ilapag niya ang paper bag sa desk at saka nilabas ang mga tupperware ruon.

"No, I prefer afritada.ā€ Sagot ko rito na naging dahilan upang lumingon ito sa akin.

ā€œBut I just cooked this for you.ā€ She answered back.

ā€œKahit niluto mo pa yan, hindi ko kakainin yan.ā€ Wika ko. ā€œCall Silas, magpapa-order na lang ako.ā€

ā€œLove-ā€ She stated but was cut off when I spoke.

ā€œYou can leave, Jes. Iuwi mo na lang ang niluto mo or you can give it to the guards downstairs.ā€ Sagot ko at saka binuksan ang laptop upang iwasan ang kanyang tingin.

As I heard her groan in annoyance, I watched her turn her back from me and stomped her way towards the door, slamming it afterwards.

ā€œWomenā€¦ā€ I whispered before noticing a file on my screen.

ā€œSir, I was told that you were calling me?ā€ I looked up to see Silas, entering my office.

ā€œYes, order some food for me, please.ā€ I ordered before looking back on the screen of my laptop.

ā€œOkay, Sir. Shall I order the usual?ā€ He asked.

ā€œYes.ā€ I answered.

ā€œSir, donā€™t mind if I ask but, who was the girl just now?ā€ He asked once again.

ā€œThatā€™s my wife.ā€ I answered plainly before looking at him once again.

ā€œMay I know her name, Sir?ā€ He asked again.

ā€œWhy?ā€ I asked back.

ā€œIt is because I was confused, Sir. She clearly does not look like your wife.ā€ He answered, which confused me.

ā€œWhat do you mean by that, Silas?ā€ I asked confusingly.

ā€œSir, everyone knows who your wife is. Pinagmamalaki mo pa nga siya sa akin at sinasabi mong proud ka sa kanya.ā€ He answered.

ā€œI said that?ā€ I asked confusingly.

He nodded. ā€œYes, you even told me her name.ā€ He answered. ā€œThat is why I was confused because you told me that woman was your wife, which seems to me, is not.ā€

I was dumbfounded as soon as I heard Silasā€™ explanation, and I couldnā€™t even think of an answer.

ā€œIt looks like you were stunned, Sir. Forgive me if I have become talkative at this hour.ā€ He stated, bowing his head politely.

ā€œWhat was the womanā€™s name?ā€ I asked, intrigued by his words.

ā€œIā€™m sorry?ā€ He proclaimed, seemingly to not hear what I said.

ā€œI told you, what was the womanā€™s name that I told you was my wife?ā€ I asked again.

ā€œIf Iā€™m not mistaken, her name was Emily, I think.ā€  He answered but still seems to be wondering.

ā€œWhat was her last name?ā€ I asked once again.

ā€œHer last name was Verdanio, I just canā€™t think of her first name. I think it was, Ellie, no.. Amyā€¦ā€ He retorted as he thought of the womanā€™s name.

ā€œJust forget it, Silas. Gawin-ā€ Ngunit naputol ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot na ito.

ā€œEmy! Her name is Emy Verdanio. That was the name of your wife, Sir.ā€ He answered, which caused me to think even more.

Emyā€¦Emy Verdanio?

Impossibleā€¦

ā€œPero, kung asawa niyo po yung babae kanina, ibig sabihin divorced na po kayo ni Ms. Emy?ā€ Wika nito na naging dahilan upang lalo akong maguluhan.

What more does this guy know about my life?

-(JESCEL THYLANE VELASTRO POV)-

~ā€¢~

My heart continuously bounced rapidly as I listened to their conversation, my hands were turning into fists as I peeked at the slightly opened door of his office.

Anxiety was swallowing my system, and I canā€™t help but think that our plan is gonna be screwed. Without warning and second thought, I dialled Jaceā€™s number as I walked away from the front of Gelalā€™s office, making my way towards the elevator.

ā€œHello?ā€ He asked as soon as he answered the call.

ā€œAlam na ni Gelal ang totoong pangalan ng asawa niya.ā€ Giit ko at saka pumasok sa elevator nang magbukas iyon.

ā€œShit, sinong nagsabi sa kanya?ā€ Tanong nito.

ā€œHis secretary, you better make your fvcking move, kung hindi, ako ang tatapos sa babaeng yun.ā€ Wika ko at saka binaba ang tawag.

Walang ibang pumapalibot sa isip ko kundi galit lamang, malaman ko lang na hahanapin niya ang babaeng yun, sisiguraduhin kong hindi yun mangyayari.

I will kill herā€¦ and I will make sure of thatā€¦

    -(DEAN ALVAREZ POV)--ā€-ā€œHow is she, Doc?ā€ I asked as soon as the doctor came out of her hospital room.ā€œSeems to me, she was trying to kill herself once again. We found an empty bottle of antidepressants in her pocket, and we canā€™t think of another reason why she would get overdosed.ā€ Wika nito at saka binigay sa akin ang bote ng nasabing gamot.ā€œSo, what you mean to say is, she swallowed a bottle full of antidepressants?ā€ Tanong ko na siyang tinanguan nito.ā€œLuckily, you brought her to the hospital immediately. Otherwise, she would have died.ā€ Sagot nito sa akin at saka lumingon sa hospital door ng kanyang kwarto.ā€œOkay, Doc. Thank you.ā€ Ayun na lamang ang sinabi ko at saka pumasok sa kwarto, seeing her once again with an IV drip in her hand.ā€œOh, babe.ā€ Bulong ko nang makalapit na ako rito, seeing her sleep peacefully.She was getting thin, her body losing weight by the minute, and I donā€™t know what to do just so she can overcome this obstacle sheā€™s experiencing.Lordā€¦ tulungan Ni

Sabi mo may dalang bagahe, so I assumed na pinuntahan niya.ā€ Sagot ko rito ngunit nag iba ang ekspresyon nito.ā€œEmy already fucking thinks Gelal is dead, so why would he go there?ā€ He asked again.Akmang sasagot ako nang marinig namin bumukas ang pinto na naging dahilan upang kamiā€™y lumi

Tanong nito muli. "Mabibisto na tayo ni Lal, what are we gonna do?ā€ ā€œAko ang bahala, ang gawin mo na lang ay manahimik ka.ā€ Sagot ko rito at saka lumabas ng kwarto.ā€œPero anong gagawin ko kung magtanong siya tungkol sa babaeng yun?

I was just thinking of something.ā€ Sagot niya.ā€œItā€™s okay, magpapaalam na rin sana ako kasi maglilinis pa ako ng bahay.ā€ Sagot ko pabalik as I went to the utility closet upang makuha ang vacuum.ā€œSure, usap na lang tayo pag tapos ka na.ā€ Giit nito.ā€œOkay, bye bye.ā€ Wika ko rito.ā€œBye bye.ā€ Sagot niya at saka binaba ang tawag.Nang maibaba niya ang tawag, hindi ko maiwasang mag-overthink dahil sa boses nito.He sounded so much like Bubby, but Bubby has been dead for about a year nowā€¦Even so, hindi rin ako nagdalawang isip na pindutin ang number ni Dad upang humingi ng tulong rito.ā€œHey, Dad.

I asked before wiping my lips.He slowly turned his head and looked at me, different types of emotion were lingering in his blue orbs, and his stare caused me to feel anxious."You're audacious to slap meā€¦" He proclaimed and quickly pulled my wrist. "But you didn't slap my brother when he kissed you the first time." The fuck is this dude talking about?"What are you talking about? Bitawan mo ko."

Sagot nito sa kabilang linya."Just make sure you find him, wag ka na rin mag paligoy-ligoy pa pag natiyempuhan mo. Don't leave any evidence behind pag nagawa mo na siyang patayin." Paalala ko rito bago humithit muli sa sigarilyo."Eh yung ginapos mo? Ano ang balita sa kanya?" He asked.I smirked. "Malapit ko na siyang makuha.
