When I came back, I saw him sitting at the couch and watching TV. My feet's noise caught Rex' attention and suddenly glanced at me. "Saan ka pumunta?"
"Wala kang pakialam." I glared at him and starting walking through the kitchen. "Di ba sabi ko sayo? May pakialam ako dahil asawa mo ko?" I spun my head to see him at the couch. "Manahimik ka na lang muna." I blunted and continued to open the refrigerator to take a glass of water. I was about to go upstairs when he stopped me. "Mag-usap nga tayo."

"You're losing your temper to me." He turned off the TV and headed to me. "As if you're losing your temper too, at sakin mo pa ibinubuntong." I glared at him once more. "Okay, let me explain this to you. Tumawag si Candy rito? Bakit naman sya tatawag rito eh wala na nga kaming communication nun? At ano naman ang problema dun kung sabihin ko na may relasyon pa kami?"
"It's just, I dont want you to cheat at your wife, while I can't." I said softly. "So, you're jealous?" He asked smirking, making me jump. “I'M NOT?!” I yelled, throwing my hand down from my face, exposing myself to his eyes. He stared blankly at me as I stared at him with a confused look. I think of a question that will make him freak. "At bakit ka naman nagpapaliwanag sakin? Di ba gusto mo naman akong magalit sayo, makita ako umiiyak?!" I can see my picture smiling evily in my head.
"Oo nga, bakit nga ba ako nagpapaliwanag sayo eh asawa lang naman kita?" Mabuti at naisip mo. Eh bakit nga ba ako nagagalit? Dahil ba nagseselos ako? "Look, umalis ako dahil pinapapunta ako ni papa dun sa bahay. Ikaw naman eh, hindi mo muna kasi inaalam kung ano talaga ang dahilan bago ka magwala." He stood up. "Matulog ka na. Inaantok na ko." Then he walked upstairs.
"Ikaw naman eh, hindi mo muna kasi inaalam kung ano talaga ang dahilan bago ka magwala." Heh. Ang tang@ ko talaga.

I can say na, hindi maganda ang umaga ko. Look, eto nanaman ang asawa ko, sumisigaw nanaman. "MARIANNE!!" Aish. Akala ko ba ayos na kami?!
When I opened the door... "Ano bang problema mo?" I scratched my messy head. Kakagising ko lang kaya?! "Iplantsa mo nga to." He threw his polo to me. "Hindi ka ba marunong magplantsa, ha?" I defended. "Wala na kong time para magplantsa nyan. Bilis!" I examined him. He wears so casually today. Wait, why? "Bakit ka nakadamit ng ganyan? Saan ka pupunta?"
"Somewhere." He answered sternly. "Bilis na!"
"Ah! Oo eto na!” I said quickly, plopping off of the way and practically ran back to my room. Then he walked back into his room too. I mumbled some curses during ironing his clothes. "%@!#$." Then suddenly, my hands felt something. Something hot that --
"AAAAHHHH!!!!" I quickly turned away my hand from the iron and kissed it. "OOUUCH." I pouted. Alam nyo na kung anong nangyari. Napaso ako sa sobrang pag-iisip. I think I should fry my mind now before thinking something else.
"Kundi ka ba naman tang@ eh, nasunog mo na sana yung damit ko." A familiar popped out at my back. Yeah, it's the devil himself, Rex. "Masakit ba?" He asked me in a teasing tone, making me feel irritated. "Di sana hindi ako sumigaw kung di masakit." I replied sarcastically. Camille walked in to see what happened to me. "Ano pong nangyari sayo?"
"Ah, wala to." Then Rex shoved his clothes and walked out, leaving me and Camille alone. "Teka, hindi pa yan tapos -- hay naku. Nakakainis talaga tong lalaking to. He doesn't care." I sat at the bed and still worrying about my hand. "Masakit po ba?" Camille asked, and I nodded in return. Then Rex came, wearing the clothes that I'm ironing and with a toothpaste clinging his hands. He sat next to me and suddenly held my hand. I sat there, confused and shocked.
Rex wiped some toothpaste in his index finger and wiped it right through my hand. "Para di na masakit. Ayos na?" He let go of my hand after that. "Ah, oo. Ayos na." I replied in a soft voice. Then he headed to Camille and said, "Camille, anong gusto mong pasalubong?" Then he smiled.
"Ah, cake po!" She cheered. Rex rested his hands through Camille's head and said, "Oo, sige. Ibibili kita. Behave ka dapat okay?"
Since when he was so sweet while talking at kids?! And not at his wife?!
He turned his head to me. "Alis na ko. Bye." Then he walked out. Wait, do he cared?
