“Hun, c-can i go out with m-my friends?” she asked. Her husband didn't even bother to take a glance at her. “No.” he answered. Bagsak ang balikat na umalis sya sa silid na 'yun. Her husband wouldn't allow her to go out even with her friends. Takot ito na baka ipagkakalat nya na mag-asawa sila pero kahit naman hindi nito sabihin sakanya, hinding hindi nya ipagkakalat 'yun. Para sa kapakanan ng lalaking mahal nya.

While eating lunch with her husband, her phone rang. She glance at her husband who suddenly stopped from eating his food. She gulped and make an excuse before answering the phone. “H-hello, who's this?” she asked. Wala kasing nakarehistrong pangalan ang numero.

Mula sa kabilang linya ay narinig nya ang pagtikhim ng isang napakalalim na boses. “This is Doctor Elkton from the surgery department. Is this Mrs. Allante?” nanlaki naman ang mata nya sa gulat. Hindi ba't sikreto lang ang pagiging isang Allante nya? Bakit merong isang doktor ang nakakaalam sa impormasyong 'yun?

She quickly glance at her husband who's now eating quietly. Her heart is beating so damn fast, nanunuyo narin ang lalamunan nya at nanginginig na ang kanyang kamay. “Y-yes, it's me. What can i do for y-you... Mr. Elkton?” ibinulong lang nya ang pangalan nito. Ayaw nyang marinig ito ng asawa nya at baka mauwi pa 'yun sa sakitan.

“Can you come into my office, Mrs. Allante? I have something to offer,” she heard him speak. Her brows immediately met, bakit kung makapag-aya ito sakanya ay parang kilalang kilala sya nito?

Ika nga nila, don't talk to strangers, but there's something in this man...that she can't refuse. So, she said..Yes. After hanging up the call she immediately goes back to the dining area to continue her dinner. Once in a lifetime lang nyang makakasama sa hapagkainan ang asawa dahil narin sa sobrang pagkabusy nito sa trabaho. Minsan nga tuwing madaling araw na itong nakakauwi ng bahay at sya nama'y hinihintay ito.

She quietly eat her meal but then she was interrupted by a loud bang. She gracefully put her spoon and fork before taking up the napkin to wipe her lips. She's calm but she was shaking in fear inside. Hindi nya masalubong ang tingin ng asawa dahil alam nyang papagalitan na naman sya sa dahilang hindi nya alam.

Nasanay naman sya na ganito ito palagi, at hinahayaan nya lang. Mahal nya 'eh, gagawin nya ang lahat para mahalin sya nito pabalik. She almost jumped out of her seat when her husband slammed the table, causing the foods to be thrown.

Doon lamang sya nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob para salubungin ang naglalagablab nitong tingin. “W-why? Can we eat...eat first?” nanginginig nyang tanong. Ibinaba nya ang kanyang kamay na nanginginig sa kaba, bago ito kinurot. It was painful but there's no more painful than your husband shouting at you.

“Who called you?!” nakakabinging sigaw nito. She couldn't stop bitting her lips until it bled. Iniyuko nya ang kanyang ulo bago nagsalita. “J-just a friend, hun.” she stuttered. “A friend?! Then why do you have to excuse yourself just to answer that freakin' call?! You could've just answer the call in front of me if that's your friend!” he sounds like a lion because of his loud voice. Napaiwas tingin naman ang ibang mga kasambahay na rinig na rinig ang pag aaway ng mag-asawa.

Ang iba nama'y nanatiling nakatingin na may awa sa mga mata. They know how their boss punished his wife but they can't defend the poor wife. Mawawalan kasi sila ng trabaho kapag nakisawsaw pa sila.

Nanatiling nakayuko lamang ang babae at hindi na nagsalita. She knew, once she could voice out her thoughts, her husband will nit even bother to hear it out. That's how heartless he is, but she love him. She love him to the point she would let her body be a punching bag just to satisfy her husband's needs.
