-(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)-❁I've been waiting at the mall. Hoping to see him here.Ilang beses narin nagttext si Gelal sakin but I chose to set them aside, I badly wanted to see him and this is my only chance.He didn't know and he didn't notice that I sneaked out of the house. Siguro napansin na nun dahil kanina pa ako wala.Tiningnan ko ang oras to see it was 7:00 PM in the evening. Kahit ganun, I still waited at the restaurant even though my mind is telling me he's not coming.Then my phone buzzed, hoping that the person I'm waiting is calling. Walang alinlangan kong kinuha iyon sa loob ng purse ko upang sagutin ang tawag.I was only wearing a body hugging dress and black heels along with a cardigan because the night breeze is cold. Plus the airconditioning inside the restaurant made me shiver."Hello? Where are you?" I asked as soon as I answered the call."I should be asking you that, where the fuck are you, Corlyn?." My body froze when I recognized the voice. Tiningna
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-~Flashback~"What do you mean it's about my wife?" I asked, my brows furrowed."Papasukin mo muna ako para masabi ko sayo, dipshit." Sagot nito na ikinainis ko."If you're just going to piss me off, you're free to leave my lawn. Right. Now." I answered back, the veins in my hands were visible."Putangina, Theo. Just calm the fuck down. Hindi ako pumunta dito para makipag away, I'm here to tell you that you're wife-" Naputol ang kanyang sasabihin nang sumabat ako."What about my wife? What about her? Sisiraan niyo siya sa akin? That ain't gonna fucking work, Ameer." Sagot ko as I let go of the door handle.Dumantay ako sa door frame habang nakatupi ang aking mga braso sa aking dibdib, my face solemn."No, goddamnit. She's cheating on you." He snapped, his eyebrows furrowed.Pakiramdam ko binuhusan ako ng isang drum ng malamig na tubig. The fact I'm hearing this from my brother made me think again. Is he telling the truth or sadyang sinisiraan lang talaga
-(SERAPHINA AMETHYST VERDANIO POV)-❃"What are you doing here?" She asks me, her hair tied into a messy bun as she wears pyjamas."I just came to check on you, lil sis. May I come in?" I asked as I held a paper bag in hand.She opens the door wide enough for me to enter and I let myself inside."Do you want anything? Coffee? Juice?" She asked as she stood beside me."Coffee will do." I answered her. "I also bought you these." I added as I handed over the paper bag to her."Thanks." she stated as she received the paper bag. "Make yourself at home." Dagdag nito.I nodded before sitting down on the couch. I looked around the place and I must admit, it looks comfy and it has a touch of greenery to it. A perfect home indeed.My eyes were glued into the portrait that was hanging on the wall. He looks so handsome as he sits on the sofa, half naked and has a stern look on his face. It's like you saw a pro model in his look."Never thought you'd be here." Napalingon ako kung saan nanggaling an
-(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)--18:30-"Love, I'm home!" Sigaw ko as I closed the door.Ngunit wala akong narinig na sagot mula rito. Probably he's working upstairs or…Teka nga… wala yung kotse niya sa labas eh. So it would be impossible for him to answer me.Walang alinlangan kong tinanggal ang sapatos ko at diretsong umakyat patungo sa master bedroom, hoping that my instincts were lying to me.Dali dali kong binuksan ang pinto, only to see that the bed is empty and well cleaned. Not a figure in sight.Bwisit. Nasaan kaya ito?Sinara ko ang pinto at bumalik sa living room, sitting on the couch afterwards before typing a message to him.Emy: Love, where are you? I'm home now.I pressed send and waited for his reply in hopes that he would notice my text. Ngunit ilang minuto na ang nakalilipas ay wala pa rin akong natanggap na mensahe mula rito. Out of boredom, napagdesisyunan ko na maligo na muna at magluto ng hapunan, thinking that he's busy at work right now.-❁-I have been w
-(DEAN ALVAREZ POV)-~❃~I have been thinking about whether I should talk to her or not. Ilang araw ko rin pinag isipan ang dapat kong sasabihin rito. Sinabi ko na rin na sa office kami magkita and luckily, pumayag ito. Also saying na vacant ang oras nila ngayon so I have plenty of time to talk to her.Perfect din ang oras dahil pagkatapos kong kausapin si Emy ay pupunta si Tassy dito for her OJT.Ngunit hindi rin ako mapakali dahil sa lahat ng pwedeng kumpanyang papasukan nito ay dito pa.Damn it, bakit ba kasi kailangan dito pa siya mag training? Napakaraming kumpanya diyan na siguradong tatanggap sa kanya."Divina? Divina!" I called out, frustration overtaking me."Yes, Sir? Ano po iyon?" She asked nang makarating ito sa office ko."Coffee please." Utos ko na siyang tinanguan nito."Okay, Sir. Just a minute." Sagot nito sa akin bago umalis sa office.Tiningnan ko muli ang oras, seeing it was 1:00 in the afternoon. My hand ran over my face as I continuously waited.'She should be
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-~❃~I continuously stared the vast emptiness of the night sky as I sat on the couch habang umiinom ng alak, unable to forget what happened a while ago. Tanginang sakit na to, bakit parang hindi ko malimot limot? She just fucking cheated, Lal. You can do better than that.Nilagok ko na ang natitirang laman sa beer bottle na hawak ko bago ihagis iyon sa sahig. Running my fingers through my hair afterwards as I tried to calm myself down.I already had 5 bottles of liquor ngunit hindi pa sapat para ako'y patulugin at para kalimutan ang nangyari.Kasalukuyan akong nasa condo unit ko dahil ayokong umuwi sa bahay, my blood just boils pag naaalala ko ang lahat ng nangyari at ang ginawa na panloloko nito.Wala akong ginawang mali kundi mahalin at intindihin siya. Kanina pa ako nagiisip kung ano ang nagawa kong mali rito upang siya'y mangaliwa sa akin. The sound of my phone ringing as it was on the nightstand caught my attention nang makakuha ako ng isang bote
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-~❁~I was awoken to the sound of ringing beside me, causing me to get up and check to see where that ringing came from. Kinusot ko ang aking mata bago tingnan ang cellphone ko, revealing that Emy was calling.Ngunit hindi ko na sinagot iyon at inayos na lang ang aking kama before leaving the room.I continuously rubbed my eyes dahil inaantok pa ako. Anong oras na ako nakatulog pero dahil sa tawag na iyon ay nagising ako.Bumaba ako ng hagdan at naabutan ko ang mga ito sa dining area eating breakfast along with their families.I smiled a little at the thought of also having a complete family, pero mukhang hindi na iyon mangyayari."Good morning, Lal. For the first time maaga kang nagising." Jace started ngunit hindi ko ito pinansin."Ano, nakatulog ka ba ng maayos?" Tanong ni Ameer."A little bit." Sagot ko bago umupo sa tabi ng pamangkin ko na si Azariah."Good morning, Tito Theo!!!" Sambit nito which caused me to kiss him on the head."Hey bud. Have y
-(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)-❃I cried and cried nang umalis ito sa mansion, leaving me alone. Who would’ve thought that he can really decide without my consent?Pero sino ba ako upang pigilan siya? Like he said, I should forget him and everything we shared. Pero mukhang mahihirapan akong gawin iyon because a man like him isn’t that easy to forget.Umuwi rin agad ako nung oras na yun, hindi na rin ako nagpaalam dahil parang galit rin sila sa'kin. Ngunit kahit ganun, I didn’t mind them and went straight to our home. The home where we shared every memory together. The home that witnessed our love and how it fell down and broke into pieces.Hapon na at nakakaramdam na rin ako ng antok kaya napag isipan kong maligo upang makapag pahinga muna ako. I badly wanted to find him and talk to him for the last time ngunit ayaw ako nitong kausap.Sinuot ko ang kanyang signature navy blue hoodie at tinernuhan iyon ng black pyjamas nang matapos akong maligo, his manly perfume intoxicated my sy
