The Evil Wife Chapter 6
"BREAKING NEWS:Heather Cassia Del Puerto 'The Bitch', the daughter of Robert and Jezebel Del Puerto became a housemaid after being disowned by her father. Not to mention, she works now for the La Villamorés' owner-a former student and campus heartthrob of Aguiluz International University—Lord Lavigne."I'm torn between clapping my hands or bursting into a loud harsh cackle of laughter, so I just did both. At least, this reminds me that stupid people do exist when sometimes I fail to think they do.Trina only had the audacity to do this now that she thinks she's already above me. What an intoxication she put herself into. Should I pity her?Madalas na akong center of hatred noong college pa lang, pero wala ni isa ang nangahas na idamay ang pangalan ko sa AIU Trends, isa sa mga most famous page ng aking alma mater. Ang original group page name nito ay AIU Secret Files, pero mukhang naisipan din nila—kahit nakapagtatakang may isip sila—na very cliché iyon.Hindi rin naman ako masyadong

"Head Napa cabbage, kosher salt, ground pork, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, fresh ginger, eggs, package round dumpling, wonton, or gyoza wrappers.""Those are?"My mom faced me and smilingly replied, "The main ingredients of your father's favorite pork dumpling.""Oww . . . kay?" I reacted stupidly, still trying to process what my mom wants me to do. "You're not gonna make me cook, are you?"She didn't reply. Itinuloy niya ang paghiwa ng kung anu-anong ingredients. Halatang gamay na niya ang paggawa ng mga ito."I let the maids do all the works except the kitchen. This is my place."I gave a nod. It's true, kitchen is one of my mother's kingdom. One of her dreams is to build a restaurant, but my father happened so . . ."Is this the reason why you summoned me here? Mom, you know kitchen is not my thing."Hindi ako pinansin ni mommy. Instead, she ordered me to do something. "Get the wrappers in the container.""Mommy!" I complained.Pinanlakihan niya lang ako ng mata. "Do it."I didn

Napaigtad ako nang tumama ang mamahaling flower vase ni mommy sa pader, ilang pulgada na lang mula sa balat ng aking braso. Tumalsik ang bawat pirasong bubog nito, nagkalat sa sahig. Malas lang ni dad, wala ni isa ang sumugat sa akin.With a face like a thunder, he slammed his fist down onto the table. His facial muscles are twitching, and he looked at me with those eyes seem to pop out."What did you do, Heather Cassia?!" We're in a wide four-cornered library room, and the sound of his voice etched in between of every single book in the bookshelves.Why is there a kind behavior to ask 'What did you do?!' after knowing what you actually did? Is it one of the ways to make us realize our own action and what it actually caused us?A lot of 'what did you do?' in the world and the one that has been said in a voice fuming with anger is something that shouldn't be answered.And, oh, he called me in my real name. That's not something I should ignore.So, I remained silent."Hindi ka namin hi

"Are you out of your mind, Hid? You think your suspension is not going to affect your record? What about your behavior? Ganiyan ba umasta ang isang Dean's Lister? Paano kung matanggal ka sa listahan? Paano kung hindi ka umabot sa summa cum laude? Paano kung—""Mom," I cut her off, "gusto ko nang matulog." Tumalikod na ako at nagsimulang humakbang papasok sa aking kuwarto."No, we talk!" Humarang siya sa aking pintuan. "You should apologize to you professor. My God, Hid. Major subject mo pa 'yon!""I don't say sorry to anyone, Mommy. Alam mo iyan."If there are two phrases I will never say in my life, these are 'I'm sorry', and 'I was wrong'. I will never feel sorry and will never feel wrong of my actions. Not a chance. Even if I do, I can always find a way to get away with it. I will never let anyone feel that they beat me, nor to see that I failed."But she's an exception! She's your professor, for goodness's sake!" diin ni mommy."The salvation of my pride considers no one," tamad k

Nagbunga ang gabing iyon, dalawang taon na ang nakalipas. Ang akala ko ay isang simpleng suspension lang ay nauwi sa kamalasang tumangay sa akin papunta sa buhay na impiyerno—papunta sa buhay ko ngayon.True, the past can't be undone, yet what is coming is better than what is gone. It's not late to use my head more wisely. Ah, did I just indirectly admit that I used my head less?Ipinilig ko ang aking ulo. I pushed myself to stand up. Usually, when I wake up, I feel like I am just letting the hands of the clock take me to bed again when darkness comes. Since I moved here, no single day that I anticipated the sun to shine.These past few days are too gloom, empty, boring, lifeless, name it. But today is another day. Not another day of doing the same annoying routine, but another day with a new life to offer.Halos liparin ko ang pintuan at tumalon mula sa barandilya ng palapag pababa sa first floor. Napakahaba pa naman ng hagdanan ng bahay na ito, aksaya sa oras. Kung tutuusin, mayroon

Nangyari ang hinihintay ko. Malakas na tumunog ang censor ng boutique nang lumabas ang stepmother ko na nakahawak ng handbag at dalawang paper bag.Tumingala siya, bumaling-baling sa paligid. The innocence in her eyes pushed the evil smile appear on my lips. Nang lumapit ang isang guwardiya sa kanya ay kitang-kita ko kung paano bumilog ang mga mata niya. Her shocked expression brought joy to my heart, especially when the manager, Mrs. Sandara, approached.Dahil medyo malayo ako ay hindi ko nasundan ang usapan. Lumapit ako at tuluyan silang narinig."I'm sorry but we need to inspect you, Ma'am," the manager apologetically said. "Kilala ko kayo at sa tingin ko ay hindi naman kayo magnanakaw, but the censor won't lie.""Fine." Ramdam ko ang frustration sa tinig ni stepmom. "Hindi naman ako tatakas. I will prove my innocence."Isa-isa niyang inilapag sa inspection area ang lahat ng hawak niya. Her body got scanned. As what I already know, the item is not hidden in her clothes.My vision m

"Marunong akong manuntok."Hindi ako makapaniwalang iyan ang tatlong unang salita na lumabas sa bibig ko, sa dinami-rami ng p'wedeng sabihin sa mundo.This taxi I am in is heading to a direction I never cared to learn about. Ngunit gaano man ako kahusay sa geography ng Pilipinas, alam kong wala itong maitutulong sa akin ngayon. Ni hindi ako mapagbuksan ng pinto ng anumang karunungang mayroon ako.I should've learned physical self-defense instead.Naikuyom ko ang kamao ko. "Masakit ito," walang-kuwenta kong dugtong. I know myself how stupid it is. I know.In the rear view mirror, I can clearly see the driver's pair of eyes. Umangat sa akin ang paningin niya bago muling ibinalik sa daan."Sapat ka nang kabayaran sa akin, Madam," aniya bago tumawa sa paraang nakakadiri sa pandinig.Naglumikot ang mata ko. Muling lumiko ang taxi at ibang eskinita na naman ang aming binabaybay."If you think it is funny, stop it. Kung may nakakatawa man dito ay walang-iba kun'di iyang pagmumukha mo," asik

People often say that they better die when they face a struggle they couldn't seem to overcome, or a tragedy that seems too impossible to endure.Life won't give people the challenges that are bigger than their power to overcome it. We may have limited capabilities, but we have unlimited determination. Perhaps, in my own point of view, when people think of giving up, that is because they lack of purpose.Setting a purpose or goal in life will be our drive to finish this longest ride. Think of it as a fun run. Life is a journey of fun and obstacles. In the process, you have people, you have the beauty of the world, yet when no one stayed, you are left with no choice but to take the run by yourself. You need to be stronger. You need to fuel your drive. Visualize the finish line, and it will be appearing before you could even notice it.I didn't fear death until it almost came. I realized that death is not something you could wish when life gets hard. Therefore, it's okay to fear death.

The Evil Wife Chapter 20
It's been an hour since I have finished my dinner. Manang Ymir only prepared a single dish-sweet meat it is.Recently, I came to know that Lord loves sweet meat Iike my father. Sa sobrang yaman niya, misteryo pa rin para sa akin kung bakit napaka-simple ng mga ganap sa buhay niya. He's not a luxurious man, unlike me who doesn't even want to wear a dress that has been worn, or to use an object that already fell on the ground.One time, when Manang is about to cook something, she asked me what particular recipe I'd love to eat, so perhaps she can prepare one. For the very first time, someone asked me what I like. It feels so strange so I had no idea what to say.What do I like, really? What do I want?I did live in a wealthy family, but now that I come to think of it, I never really recognized what I really like. It seemed like I want everything I can touch, and I'm going to have them because I have the money to do so.When it comes to my fashion stuff, I get everything I see beautiful.
The Evil Wife Chapter 19
Hindi naman nagtagal ay nadako sa aming direksiyon ang tingin ng dalawa. Mukhang hindi pa nila ako namukhaan agad, pero halatang nagulat sila nang marahil rumehistro na sa kanilang isipan kung sino ngayon ang babaeng nakatingin sa kanila.I can say that it's hard to secrete whatever chaos I have inside, but all my life I trained myself to conceal my emotions, and so I managed not to react a bit.Napansin ko ang pasimpleng pagtanggal ni Lord sa kamay ni Bridgette na nakasalikop sa kamay niya at lumapit sa amin. Sumunod naman ang malandi niyang arkitekto at pasimpleng ngumisi sa akin.Again, I didn't react. Tinanggal ko ang tingin sa kanila at muling sinipat ang aking pambisig na relo. Pero halos mapamura ako sa pagkadismaya nang makitang wala nga pala akong relo. Nawala.Sanay na kasi tayo. Iyon ang masakit.Bumuga ako ng hangin at piniling tumingin na lang ulit kay Daddy na ngayon ay kay Lord na nakaharap."Mr. Del Puerto," Lord formally acknowledge my father as he offered his hand fo

I remember Lord mentioning about the party he's going to attend. He even asked me if I want to go with him, but I refused. I guess, this party is the one he's been talking about.Now, I just arrived. I am here to claim my should-be position—the part where Bridgette is now in. I am the first choice, the supposed-to-be Lord Lavigne's date in this party.With my royal blue dress shining like the seawater as it reflects the starry night sky, I headed to the wide and tall double-door of the venue.The two men at the entrance looked at me in awe, amazed by my refulgent face. Oh, am I just praising my self? No, of course not."Good afternoon, Miss." The one in a cyan tuxedo smilingly approached. "What's your name?"The brunette guy in a vintage-color suit asked, "Do you have an invitation?"I blinked my eyes . . . and blinked again. "Invitation? What invitation?" I asked, ignoring the first one who asked my name. Of course, I know what invitation he's referring to, I'm just a little bit cons

Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang nakatitig sa ika-pitong pahina ng magazine na hawak ko.Top Business Trends magazine issues articles about different companies or businesses every other two months, and this copy I have in my hands was released yesterday. Lord handed it to me this morning and told me that it is what they had been doing for days.La Villamorés' Real Estate Agency is the subject of TBT magazine's May and June issue. I am proud of Lord, yes, and this achievement almost made me tell him how proud I am. But, of course, I'm not going to let myself do that. Masyadong mahal ang papuri ng isang Heather Cassia.Every page is making me smile, until I flipped it on the seventh page where Bridgette and him are portrayed both. It is stated in here how good their partnership is. It includes narratives on how and when did they start to work together, the challenges they encountered and how they were able to face them, their achievements for over two years, and there's a single subtopic
The Evil Wife Chapter 16
I was watching "The Wild Child" on TV when I was notified that our grades for the first semester is finally posted online.I opened the student portal. I wasn't in a hurry because I am confident of what I will see, plus, I am strangely not in the mood. It's just that I already want to take a screenshot of my straight-1.0 grades—which indeed was the results—and brag it to my cousins. Surely, they don't have the same perfect grades as I have.Yet as soon as I confirmed that my assumption is correct, my vision turned blurry and my head started to turn. I fainted. I was sent to the hospital by the maids. When I woke up, mom is beside me, her face reflected a tender worry. From that very moment she already knew the truth, but she didn't say a thing about it.Unlike my father, mom never showed how upset she was when I got pregnant by accident. But I know, she was disappointed more than any other specie ever existed. No, she wasn't disappointed at me, but with how fate smartly played with us
The Evil Wife Chapter 15
Napangiti ako nang makita ang umuusok at mukhang masarap na ulam sa ibabaw ng lamesa. I didn't have enough time to learn for another recipé so I made a sweet meat once again. I failed in the first try. I followed the same procedure, but this time, with the correct ingredients.Kumuha ako ng kutsarita at tinikman ito. Like what I perceived, it tastes good. It tastes like a sweet meat, thank you very much."Manang, the breakfast is ready. Tell Lord to come over."Agad namang tumalima si Manang Ymir. Narinig ko pa ang nga yabag niya paakyat ng hagdan bago ako dahan-dahang umupo at napatingin sa blangkong upuan ng asawa ko.Asawa ko.That sounds really weird and unrealistic. Sa isang katulad kong never nagkaroon ng love experience, everything is having a hard time to sink in.Last night, with his half-closed eyes and hoarse voice, he asked me to remove his coat for him. I obliged. Nang makahiga siya, tinanggal ko rin ang medyas niya at ang pang-itaas niyang damit. I made sure to make him
The Evil Wife Chapter 14
Learning is an ongoing process, a path that we should take throughout eternity. We have so much to learn, and a lot of ways on how to be able to do so.Ako, nakasanayan ko nang mag-self-study. I prefer knowing things than letting other people tell them to me. Ayaw ko sa spoon-feeding, I strive to gain knowledge. Consequently, a lot of people wishes to be like me.Whenever I achieve something, like garnering an award that raises the pride of my school, it is announced in the official page of the school. In there, a sea of comments shows me how much people want to be me.'How to be you po?' is the most common phrase I am receiving from strangers. But in the case of the people who know me or to the ones who think they do, they may not directly ask it, but I know they are saying, 'How to be not you, Heather?'I never asked that to myself, until a particular day came. Really, how to be not me?It was more destructive than a volcanic erruption, more painful than failed promises, worse than
