Chapter 3

With unwilling resentment, Felicity hugged the man's neck and kissed deeply.

Marco is a normal man, at the age of 30 he looks like a wolf in some respects, how could he withstand the temptation of a pretty little fairy.

Hinawakan niya ang bewang ni Felicity at idinikit niya sa kanyang katawan, kinuha niya ang agreement paper at itinapon iyon sa basurahan na malapit sa kanya. Binuhat niya si Felicity habang agresibong hinahalikan at naglalakad patungo sa kwarto.

Felicity was too thin, the man hugged her as easily as a pendant.  When she was put on the bed, she realized she shouldn't be like this.

Naisip niya na mayroon siyang dinadala sa kanyang sinapupunan, paano kung makunan siya dahil ginagawa niya ang ganitong bagay?

Seeing the Marco leaning over towards her, Felicity hastily raised his hand to his chest. Right now, Marco didn't care about her resistance, he insisted on leaning over and kissing her.

At dahil sa mga galaw ni Marco, alam na agad ni Felicity kung ano ang mangyayari sa susunod kaya pinigilan niya si Marco gamit ang maliit na kamay sa pagtulak sa dibdib nito.

"Marco, don't do this, I'm not feeling well, babalik na ako sa school."

"It's late."

The man's voice was hoarse. To make another move, Felicity hastily pushed him away and got up, curled up and sat on the head of the bed.

Tinitignan siya ni Marco na may pagtataka, hindi niya alam kung ano ang problema ni Felicity. "What do you mean? Bakit ka lumalayo ngayon?"

Siya ang unang nagparamdam ng init na katawan ni Marco at ngayon siya ang unang lalayo na para bang nandidiri siya kay Marco. Kaya iyon ang hindi maintindihan ni Marco sa mga kilos niya ngayon.

Felicity was evasive, "I, I'm going to my aunt."

Marco was depressed for a while, as if counting the time for her to come to her aunt. It seems to be really these days.

He suddenly felt disappointed, and said displeasedly, "Next time you come there, don't treat me like this."

Walang emosyong tumingin si Marco sa mga mata ni Felicity, tumayo mula sa kama at dire-diretsong pumasok sa banyo. Narinig na ni Felicity ang agos ng tubig sa banyo, huminga siya nang mamalim na para bang nabunutan ng tinik.

‘Bakit mo kasi ginawa iyon?’ tanong niya sa kanyang isip. 

It was so dangerous, she almost lost her mind just now. But since the Marco didn't resist her approach, does it mean that her persuasion is still somewhat effective?

Habang iniisip iyon ni Felicity, mabilis siyang tumayo at kumuha ng pajamas. Nakangiti siyang nakatingin sa bitbit niyang set na damit para kay Marco. 

"Marco's pajamas are here for you." 

“Yeah."

Felicity sat on the bed and waited for Marco. It took about ten minutes before Marco came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a gray satin pajamas, full of extravagance.

Felicity forced himself not to think about what happened before, got up and stood by the bed and opened her arms to the man to act coquettishly, "Hold~"

Hindi tinanggihan ni Marco, lumapit siya kay Felicity at niyakap ang maliit na katawan nito. His face became gentle, and his tone also a lot gentler

"Calm down?"

Felicity arrogantly shook her head, lying on his shoulder without saying a word. Marco weighed her little butt like holding a child and said, "Is the voice thinner again? Why is it so soft?" 

"Isn't it because you are so thin." She pouted and complained.

Marco frowned slightly, squinting at her.

"Then I really deserve to die. Are you hungry now? Do you want me to go down and let Aling Marta make you something to eat?"

Felicity nodded, feeling somewhat wronged in her heart.

The man patted her on the back, and when he was about to go downstairs, ngunit napatigil ito nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone niya. Saglit siyang tumingin kay Felicity at naglakad sa kama para kunin ang kanyang phone. 

Nakita ni Felicity ang pangalan na tumatawag kay Marco, it was Diana Samuel. Kagat labi siyang umiwas ng tingin at sa sumunod na segundo, sinagot ni Marco ang tawag gamit ang isang kamay habang ang isnag kamay ay nakahawak sa kamay ni Felicity.

Nakahiga sila pareho sa kama na at dahil nakahiga si Felicity sa balikat ni Marco, naririnig niya rin ang boses ng babaeng tumatawag kay Marco na para bang kailangan nito ng tulong. 

"Marco, I accidentally sprained my ankle. I'm the only one at home. Can you come and help me?"

Marco didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, he put the girl on his waist down back to bed.

Felicity suddenly lost his temper, hugged him and asked angrily, "Who is it? Iyong babae na gusto mong pakasalan?"

"Yeah." Marco didn't deny it.

Felicity felt suffocated for no reason when she heard it.

She tried to suppress her anger , and asked him "Kailangan mo ba talagang umalis at iwanan ako rito?"

"Yeah."

"Paano kung ayaw kitang paalisin? May magagawa ka ba?"

Marco felt helpless, pumikit siya ng mariin at tumingin ng diretso kay Felicity. "Felicity, don't make trouble."

“Am I making a fuss? You are my husband, and I am your wife. We are married, Marco. Ganyan ba talaga kalakas ang loob mo na puntahan at samahan ang ibang babae kaysa sa asawa mo." 

Hindi na napigilan ni Felicity ang inis na nararamdaman niya. Paanong magagawa ni Marco na piliin puntahan ang babae kahit sabihian niya pang ito ang gusto niyang pakasalanan, para kay Felicity ay hindi iyon katanggap-tanggap lalo na kung kasal sila at may nangyayari na sa kanila, higit pa roon ay may nabuo na sila. 

Matagal niya ng naisip na gusto niyang umalis sa pamamahay ni Marco ngunit dahil mahal niya ang lalaki, hindi niya magagawa. Kahit na bata pa lamang siya, ayaw niyang hayaan na inaapi o hindi siya nirerespeto ng mga tao sa paligid niya. 

Marco pursed his thin lips tightly, his handsome face visibly turned cold. "Felicity, who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?" 

Seeing the Marco's sudden fierce appearance, Felicity felt guilty but she is not reconciled.

“Nagagalit ka? Aalis ako ngayong gabi kung aalis ka rin naman. Pupunta ako sa Tita ko.”

"I don't allow you to leave. If you dare to leave, I will make you regret it."

Marco obviously didn't want to say more, insisted on changing clothes and leaving.Seeing that he was changing clothes, Felicity thought she had to leave.

She was suddenly anxious, and begged him with a lowered posture at a loss, "Please don’t leave me here. Maybe that woman can handle the pain. Please…" 

After Marco changed his clothes, he stood in front of her condescendingly, with a cold demeanor.

"Felicity, the person I want to marry has returned. Mrs. De Leon position is hers, and you should return it to her."

Felicity felt like a blow to the head, and the pain spread all over his body instantly. Especially the bloody heart, which hurt like a convulsion.

Nakaupo pa rin siya sa kama, nakatingin kay Marco na puno ng pagmamakakawa sa kanyang mukha, "Do you love her very much? Siya ba talaga ang nasa puso mo kaya ganyan na lang siya kahalaga sa’yo na kaya mo akong iwanan para sa kanya?" 

Umiwas ng tingin si Marco na hindi sinagot ang tanong ni Felicity, bagkus sinabi niya ang salitang ayaw ni Felicity. “Pirmahan mo ang divorce paper.”

"Why?"

Felicity didn't understand why this man could be so ruthless.

Is their half-year loving couple life really just a fake? Did he pretend all the good things he gave her?

Hindi makapaniwala si Felicity, hinayaan niya na rin ang sariling umiyak dahil hindi niya na kaya ang sakit na nararamdaman dahil sa mga pinapakita at sinasabi ni Marco. Nagmamakaawa pa rin siya kay Marco na manatili na lang at huwag na puntahan ang babae. 

"If I'm pregnant with your child, will you still divorce and marry her? No matter what I do, you will abandon me, right?" Marco really couldn't bear to see her eyes filled with tears.

He averted his eyes with a blank expression, and said in a low voice, "I will marry her, but I will not leave you behind. Sasamahan pa rin kita kung magkaroon ka man ng problema sa pagbubuntis mo!"

Dahil sa galit ni Felicity sa sinabi ni Marco, sumigaw siya na may kasamang pag-iyak. “Kung hindi ka magiging mabuting ama sa anak ko dahil mas pinili mo ang ibang babae, pwes wala kang karapatan sa amin o sa kanya, Marco! Ang sama mo!”

Naubusan na rin ng pasensya si Marco kaya sinagot niya si Felicity sa malamig na boses, "It's up to you."

He slammed the door and left resolutely.

Seeing his disappearing back, Felicity shouted in a broken voice, "Marco, bumalik ka!"

But no matter how she shouted, the man still left. Felicity sat limply on the bed, his heart ached as if bleeding.

Bakit nga ba nangyayari ito sa kanya? Hindi ba’t magiging maayos ang buhay niya dahil napangasawa niya ang lalaking mahal niya? Pero bakit biglang nagkaganito?

Obviously she is his legal wife now, and they are clearly recognized by the law. Why did he leave her to meet someone else.

Kaya kahit ipilit ni Marco na pakasalanan ang ibang babae, hindi siya papayag dahil sa mata ng Diyos at sa papel, kasal sila kaya wala siyang karapatan na pakasalan ang iba. 

Nakahiga sa kama si Felicity at walang tigil sa pag-iyak, she felt that she had fallen into an abyss, and all fears and dangers swarmed towards her. She was terrified.

She curled up on the bed all night trembling, her mind blank.

Early the next morning, she went downstairs in a state of depression, and returned to school alone in resentment.

Today, Monday, she has a few classes to attend. Kaisip niya pa rin naman ang pag-aaral niya kaya kahit may problema siya kay Marco, bawal niyang pabayaan ang pag-aaral niya. 

After finally surviving all the classes in the afternoon, Felicity looked down at the phone in his hand, but there was still no news of the man. 

Lumapit ang si Sandra para ayain siyang kumain sa canteen. "Let's go, let's go! Nagugutom na ako, Felicity. Kumain na tayo."

Wala siyang magawa kundi ang magpaanod sa hila ng kaibigan kahit ayaw niya naman tumayo at nang malapit na sila sa canteen, may lumapit na babae sa kanya atr nagtanong. "Are you Felicity?"

Felicity nodded, "Is there something wrong?"

"Someone is looking for you at the school gate, please go there quickly."
