OS18: Happily Ever Afters Don't Really Exist

Happily ever afters don't really exist

'Happily ever afters don't really exist.'

Iyan ang palaging sinasabi sa amin noon ng Mama ko. She came from a broken family, and my dad ended up cheating and had eloped with his mistress. Leaving us behind.

Iyan palagi ang sinasabi sa amin ni Mama. That true love doesn't really exist. Kasi kung meron man raw'ng ganun, then why there are a lot of failed marriages? Broken families?

I thought she was just like that kasi nga, she suffered so bad with her experiences. But I guess she was right. Happily ever afters don't really exist. They're just on fairytales.

I smiled sadly as I saw on the glass door how did the doctors tried to revived my love of my life. How silly. I thought he was already the one. I thought he will be the one who's going to prove my mother wrong. Na iba ang magiging kahihinatnan ko kay Mama.

But no, we ended the same. Justin, my husband, whom I thought loving and a loyal one ended up cheating with my best friend. How cute, isn't it?

I am 7 months pregnant with our 2nd child, and right now I'm here at a hospital's emergency room crying. I was crying because I feel so lost and betrayed. He got into an accident. Drunk driving, and he's with my best friend. And I don't know if I'd feel relief, sas or angry. I was confused on what to feel.

"Ma'am", I just stared at the doctor when he came out and told me the news. My husband had died. Habang ang best friend ko ay critical. And I just smiled sadly while holding my baby bump. I guess I'm one of those who weren't blessed with happy endings. How cruel life to me is.
