*Allessandro*

"Mauro! Where the hell is my phone?" Umuusok ang ilong ko sa galit.

Nagmamadali namang lumapit sa desk ko si Mauro. Humahangos pa siya.

"Where did you put it?" Medyu hapo pa siya nang magsalita.

Nahampas ko ang desk ko.

It's been five minutes at hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong nagagawang trabaho.

I don't know what's going on with me.

Siguro hindi ko lang matanggap na Alana rejected me. I allow her to sleep next to me, but I think it's not a good idea. Maybe she is just married to me because she had no choice, just like she always said.

I kissed her last night, but only a kiss. When I told her I wanted more from her, she got out of my room and ran away. I guess she was scared of everything. Maybe it's too early to claim what is mine. I can't help myself. I want her.

She's my wife. She's mine.

I'm still confused about what's happening to me.

I thought I could ignore her.

It's only a thought because as the days passed, I became more interested in Alana. She is slowly

Bahala na, ang mahalaga makalalabas na ako ng bahay at makakauwi ng ano mang oras ko gustuhin. I'm not allowed to find job. Bagay na ayaw ko sanang mangyari ngunit wala akong magagawa dahil iyon ang gusto ni Allessandro. Ayaw ko ng makipagtalo pa sa kaniya dahil alam kong magsasayang lamang ako ng laway. I missed my home. Kaya sa araw na ito ay bibisitahahin ko si Papa. Nakaka usap ko naman siya through phone peru iba pa rin kapag kasama ko siya in person. Sabik na sabik na akong makita siya ulit. Pagkatapos kong maligo at mag ayos ng sarili ay lumabas na ako ng kuwarto. Kuwarto ko, hindi sa kuwarto ng asawa ko. Isang beses lang akong pumasok sa kuwarto ni Allessandro ngunit hindi rin ako nakatagal roon dahil sa hindi ko kayang ibigay ang bagay na hinihingi niya.

    *Alana*Ilang gabi na akong hindi makatulog dahil sa katangahang ginawa ko. Muntik ko na talagang maisuko ang perlas ng silanganan. Kapag nagkataon hindi ko na matutupad 'yong pangako kong kay Sean ko lang iaalay ang lahat. I'm still obsessed with him. Kahit na may guwapo at hot na akong asawa.Binuksan ko ang Instagram ko, isa lang ang tanging reason kung bakit ako gumagamit ng Instagram.Kaagad kong tiningnan kung may bagong upload bang mga pictures si Sean. Ang hot ng reels niya. Nakatopless lang naman siya habang nagbubuhat ng barbell niya na kasing bigat ko na yata.Kinikilig ako habang pinagmamasdan siya.Hindi lang siya isang magaling at sikat na artista, isa din siyang model. May isa pa akong nagustuhan sa kaniya. Sobrang galing niya sa painting. Actually, I bought one of his paintings. Kahit na mahal 'yon, binili ko pa rin. Katumbas na yata 'non ang tatlong buwan kung sahod kaya tatlong buwan din akong nagtipid.Napa-igtad ako nang tumunog ang phone ko na nasa bulsa ko."Jack

    *Alana*"Magkano po ito?" Tanong ko sa isang tindera ng mga keychain. I bought one for Allessandro.Kahit na medyu late na ako para sa Christmas Eve ay naisipan ko pa rin siyang ibili ng regalo. Bigla ko lang naisip nang makita ko ang mga keychain sa isang maliit na store. Ilang araw na kaya akong nag iisip ng puwedeng iregalo sa kaniya. Nasa kaniya na yata lahat ng bagay. Hindi ko naman siya kayang ibili ng mamahaling relo o kaya ng magarang sapatos. Jusko, kahit yata isangla ko ang sarili ko kulang pa sa mahal ng mga sapatos at relo ni Allessandro. Keychain na lang 'yong binili ko parang 'di ko kasi napansin na mayroon siya niyon. Paano kung ayaw niyang tanggapin o kaya hindi niya gusto?Napabuga ako ng hangin.Bahala na si batman.Alam kong masama ang loob niya sa akin dahil umalis ako ng bahay kahit ayaw niya at isa pa sumama ako kay Jack na alam kong sobrang pinagseselosan niya.Wala akong choice.

    *Allessandro*It's been a few days since Alana left the house. I feel bored. I feel alone. It's my fault. All of this happened because I treated her just like she was nothing. I just can't allow myself to be weak. I'm Allessandro Castellucio, a man of honor and power. I have everything as long as I have money. I can do whatever I want without asking permission from anyone. I created this world and I don't want to destroy it just because I loved someone again. I'm falling for Alana and I don't want to admit it. I want to hide it and burn it until it becomes dust and gone. Alana deserved better."Mr. Allessandro, breakfast is ready." Magalang na tawag sa'kin ni Brenda pagkalabas ko ng kuwarto."Clean the table because I don't want to eat." Malamig na sabi ko saka tuloy-tuloy na lumabas ng bahay."Peru, Mr. Castellucio, kagabi pa po kayo hindi kumakain." Pangungulit niya."Then what? Do as I said or else I will fire you.

Wala talaga akong choice. Ayaw kong umuwi ng bahay dahil alam kung magtataka si Papa. He's not recovered yet. Hindi dapat siya nai-stress. Isa pa, ayaw kung mas maging magulo pa 'yong sitwasyon. Ililihim ko ito hangga't kaya ko, hanggang sa makapagfile na ng annulment si Allessandro."Ano na miss, kukunin mo ba 'yong kuwartong ito?" Untag sa'kin ng landlady.Mabilis kung kinuha ang phone ko mula sa sling bag ko.Natutop ko ang bibig ko nang makita kung magkano na lang ang laman ng gcash ko.Paano ko pagkakasiyahin ang ten thousand?Todo kayod ako sa trabaho peru wala akong naipon. Isang masakit na katotohanan na kailangan kong tanggapin. Hindi rin naman kalakihan ang sahod ko bilang isang teacher at part time waitress.

    *Alana*Napatayo ako sa kama nang makita ko ang email ng isa sa mga inapplayan ko. Finally, after almost one week of job hunting, dumating na rin 'yong para sa'kin. Natanggap ako bilang isang English teacher sa isang private school. Medyu mahirap pumasok sa public school e, lalo na sa sitwasyon ko ngayon. Sapat na din naman ang halos apat na taon kong experienced bilang isang teacher. Binasa kong muli ang email.Sa sobrang tuwa ko ay tumalon-talon pa ako sa ibabaw ng kama.I have to call my gang.Siguro matutuwa silang lahat, maliban na lang kay Alena. Hindi ko pa rin siya nakakausap. Alam kong masama ang loob niya. Wala rin naman akong balak sabihin sa kaniya ang mga nangyayari. Walang tigil kasi siya kapag nagkuwento. Mahirap na baka mabuko pa ako ni Papa. Malalagot si Allessandro at ayaw kong umabot pa kami kay Tulfo.I have my job again. I can live again.I can live freely.Whoaa! I love my life again.I can do whatever I want to.But still, I'm married to Allessandro.Napabunto

    *Allessandro*"She's working at Sun Valley Academy as an English teacher. She's renting an apartment on Boulevard Street. She still didn't have a car; she just rode a jeep or taxi when she went to her job. Her whole family didn't know that she was not living with you. She's dating Mr. Esposito." Mauro stated."What!" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa huling sinabi ni Mauro.Is this serious?What the fuck?I clenched my jaw.I still can't believe why Alana is doing this to me. Is she insane?For God's sake"She's dating Mr. Esposito." He said again."Enough, Mauro! Enough!" I yelled.Mabilis na lumapat ang kamao ko sa desk ko. Hindi pa ako nakuntento, sinipa ko pa ang swivel chair ko.I was really mad."What the hell is Federico doing here in the Philippines?" Asik na tanong ko."All I knew was that he was visiting a foundation." Tugon naman ni Mauro.I chuckled.Federico Esposito is one of the Mafia members under Blue Knuckles. Nasa ilalim lamang siya ng pamumuno ko. Hindi ko lubos maisip ku

    *Alana*"Oh my god. I really love dancing. Look at me! I'm dancing like a pro!" I almost shouted while continuing to move my body.Naramdaman ko na may biglang humawak sa beywang ko."Stop it." Bulong ni Allessandro.Did he hate my dancing?I don't care. I love what I am doing right now. Hindi ko kailangan ng opinyon ng kahit na sino. Manigas siya dahil wala akong planong tumigil sa pagsasayaw. Minsan lang 'to kaya lubus-lubusin ko na. Sana lang kinabukasan wala akong maalala. Alam kong 'di ako nakakahalinang tingnan peru wala akong pakialam. Ang tanging mahalaga ay masaya ako sa ginagawa ko. "Alana, can you please stop dancing? You look horrible and you forgot that you carry my name." Muli ay pabulong niyang saway."Leave me alone, Allessandro." Tugon ko habang sumasayaw pa rin. Sobrang nakakaindak 'yong musika."Alle, just let your wife enjoy tonight!" Giorgia shouted.Ngumiti ako.At least I have a supportive sister-in-law.Inirapan ko si Allessandro at muli na namang humataw sa

    *Allessandro*I thought I lose Alana. No words are able to describe how scared I was after I open all the hidden pages of my life to her. The hours that she was not with me was a torture. It felt like I'm losing my blood every seconds. I'm afraid I failed again but Alana was different to anyone just like my first impression after I glance at her walking on the aisle with a veil covering her face."Ay baklang palaka!" Gulat na gulat si Alana nang pumasok ako ng shower room.She covered herself with her hands."Hindi ka ba marunong kumatok?" Halos sigaw niya.Ngumiti lang ako."I just want to check if you're done," I replied."Hmm... seriously?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong niya.Humakbang ako palapit sa kaniya.Bakas na ang baby bump niya. Hanggang ngayon nahihiwagaan pa rin ako sa mga nangyayari. I will be a dad soon, it's a bit terrifying and exciting at the same time."What?" Nakatitig siya sa mga mata ko."Am I not allowed to be here?" I teased.She opened the shower and wet hersel

    *Alana*Kung kailan naman tila naging maayos 'yong marriage ko saka naman naging biglang tila isang bangungot ang lahat. Pilit kong tinakasan ang bangungot na ito sa loob ng mahabang panahon sa pag-aakalang maiiwasan ko ito habang buhay. Francesco was the monster that was creeping inside of me. He's the one who destroyed my childhood and my whole life. I suffered enough from his grudge. I pay for the sin that I haven't committed. Allessandro spent almost ten years trying to find the culprit in his parents deaths, and I'm here hiding, acting like I didn't know anything. It really kills me every time I see him. I'm stuck; I didn't know what to choose. I may be selfish, but I couldn't risk my life. I knew the whole damn truth, but my mouth was as covered with fear as my soul. I wouldn't die yet; I will be a mom in a few months. I had to be wise even though my conscience had persecuted me a million times. This is my way to live for my child, for Allessandro, and for all the people I love.

    *Alana*"I want an ice cream." Lambing ko kay Allessandro."Alana, I'm working." Tugon niya habang nakatuon ang buong atensiyon sa laptop niya."Gusto ko nga ng ice cream." Pangungulit ko.He sighed.He looked at me."You can buy outside or call Mauro." Deritsong sabi niya.Napabuga ako ng hangin. Bakit hindi niya ma-sense 'yong gusto ko? Kahit sobrang nakakabagot dito sa office niya ay sumama ako dahil 'yon 'yong gusto niya. Ang dami ko dapat gagawin sa noodles house peru mas pinili kong samahan siya dito sa opisina niya. "Fine, I will call him." Aniya nang mapansing nakabusangot ako.Tumayo ako saka deri-deritsong lumabas ng silid. Nakakainis siya masyadong insensitive. Bakit kailangan pa niyang iasa sa iba 'yong dapat ay responsibilidad niya?Jusme! Nakakainis."Alana!" Sigaw niya.Hindi ko siya pinansin. Sa halip ay mas binilisan ko pa ang paghakbang ko hanggang sa marating ko ang elevator. Kaagad akong pumasok sa loob saka pinindot ang ground floor. "Ma'am Alana, uuwi na po ba

    *Allessandro*"I will give you 10 days, Ricardo. Find out who's trying to destroy me, and if you fail, I'm sorry, but you will die." I whispered."How many times do I have to tell you I'm not involved in any of this sh*t?" He clenched his jaw.I shrugged.I don't care if he's involved or not; I wanted someone to pay for the mess they made in my life."Just do as I say." I ordered."And one more thing, I'm watching you." I warned as I tapped his shoulder."Don't threaten me, Allessandro. I'm not the enemy here." He smirked."I'm not threatening you. I'm just informing you. Don't you dare betray me." I whispered as I stepped away from him.If not because of Alana, he's now resting in his cold coffin. He was lucky that heaven still had mercy on him. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I remembered what Alana had confessed to me. Is she really pregnant? Am I going to be a dad?So what will happen to our annulment?The questions in my mind were like sand on the seashore. I badly n

Ilang araw na lang ay hindi mo na asawa si Allessandro dapat wala ka ng pakialam sa kanilang dalawa ng Andrea na 'yon." Ani Molly.Tumulis ang nguso ko."Kanino ka ba kampi sa'kin o kay Andrea?" Puna ko.Ngumisi siya saka nag-peace sign.Nakakainit lang talaga ng ulo 'yong ginagawa ni Andrea. Kapag ako napikon ng tuluyan nako!"Siyempre sa'yo. Ang point ko lang naman ay dapat dedma mo na sila." Paglilinaw niya.Biglang dumating si Giorgia. Hindi yata maganda ang timpla ng mood."Alana, can we talk?" Bungad niya.Nakapagtataka ang pagiging pormal niya pati na rin ang tono ng boses niya.Ano kayang problema ni Giorgia at ang aga yata niyang napasugod dito sa noodles house. Hindi niya kasama si Giorge kaya alam kong hindi siya magtatagal.Lumipat kami ng area kung saan malimit lamang ang mga diner."I want a favor from you." Deritson

    *Allessandro*I'm just giving Alana her right to be free, but I couldn't help myself when I saw her wearing Federico's shirt. I wanted Alana to live the life she wanted. It's true that love makes human hearts weak; that's what happened to mine. I destroyed my own wall and let myself be vulnerable. I wish I hadn't ruined my barrier, so no one was able to make me feel anything."How was your mission?" Tanong ni Francesco.I shrugged."Great," I replied.Malinis akong magtrabaho kaya walang sabit. I earned a billion dollars for shooting the president of Croatia, and that money belongs to Blue Knuckles. I just followed the order and got paid. I guess this is my specialty in life. I didn't have any conscience left because I threw it all away many years ago. I forgot about it since my parents' assassination. "Great, but look at you. Don't tell me your conscience started to persecute you." He laughed.I chuckled.I tried to lie and act like everything was incredible, but I couldn't convince

Magkasama sila sa isang party at ngayon laman sila ng news."Bakit parang pinagsakluban ka ng langit at lupa?" Tanong ni Alena.Kumunot ang noo ko.Kanina bago ako umuwi ng bahay ay kumain kami ni Molly sa isang Chinese restaurant. Ang sarap ng pagkain hindi uso sa'kin ang diet kaya lumamon na ako. Hindi ko pa nakakalahati 'yong dumplings ko ay bigla akong nawalan ng gana dahil sa pagpasok sa restaurant ni Allessandro at Andrea."Pagod lang ako." Pagsusunungaling ko peru sa totoo lang gusto ko ng bumuga ng apoy sa inis."Marcello invite for a dinner." Maya-maya ay sabi niya."Bakit ayaw mo siyang ipakilala kay Papa?" Tanong ko saka pasalampak na naupo sa sopa.I feel exhausted.Umasim ang mukha ni Alena."Bakit ko ipapakilala?" Nakataas ang kilay niyang tanong.Ibig sabihin hindi pa boyfriend ni Alena si Marcello?"Akala ko ba in a relati

Tatlong linggo na ang nakakaraan simula noong huli kaming nag-usap ni Allessandro pagkatapos 'non ay hindi na siya tumawag pa o nagpakita sa'kin. Bagay na ipinagtataka ko o baka napagod na siya. Baka sumuko na rin siya tulad ko. Mas okay nga 'yon at least hindi na magiging mahirap pa ang lahat. Peru bakit parang may parte sa puso ko na nalulungkot? Bakit tila may biglang panghihinayang akong naramdaman?"Hindi. Nagtataka lang ako kung bakit hindi siya tumawag man lang o ano...." Hindi ko nagawang itulog ang sasabihin ko."Ano? Kulitin ka? Suyuin ka? Papadalhan ka ng flowers and sorry letters?" Bulyaw ni Molly."Hay nako! Bakit kasi tinulak mo siya palayo kung mahal mo pa naman talaga siya?

    *Allessandro*"What's Alana doing in Atty. Salazar's office?" Kunot noo kong tanong kay Marcello.He shrugged."Why don't you ask her?" Pabalik niyang tanong.Alana was too confusing. After we did our elevator thing, she didn't show herself to me again. I tried to call her, but maybe she blocked my number just like she always did. She's having a great time annoying me."She's avoiding me." Maikling wika ko.Atty. Salazar was one of my friends. I had to ask him what Alana's plan was."You guys are like the bulb in my room." He commented."On and off, it was like blinking non-stop. I don't understand what the problem is with it." He continued."I don't understand what her problem is." I replied."Do you still want to keep her?" Seryosong tanong niya.Heaven and hell knew how much I wanted my wife back. There's no doubt about it. "Marcello, Alana is my wife. I admit I married her because I had no choice, but it changed as I knew her completely." I reasoned. He sighed."We have to talk
