She's been living peacefully in this city for months now, Simon and Syrin often visit me more than I expected them, since I know that they're busy and they still manage to be here twice a month. I'm already four months pregnant and my baby bump is getting visible already, not that big but at least it's showing now. Natatawa na lang siya na kapag lumalabas siya para mag-stroll around the city may mga lalaki pa ring lumalapit at nakikipagkilala sa kanya kailangan niya pang sabihing buntis siya bago tignan ng mga ito ang tiyan niya. Kasalukuyan siyang nag-aagahan ngayon ng marinig niya ang pangalan ni Sandro, ngayon lang kasi siya nagbukas ng TV iniwisan na niya munang manood, magbrowse sa social media gumawa pa siya ng bagong account, usually pagbabasa ng libro ang kanyang ginagawa. Pinakinggan naman niya ang news about Sandro dahil akala niya interview na naman ito nagulat siya at nasaktan sa iniulat ng mga reporter.

"Congressman aspirant Sandro Mariano faces thrown allegations of cheating with International model Monique Vasquez" ayon sa report na may kasamang ilang litrato at video nasa isang cafe ang dalawa at nakayakap si Monique sa kanyang asawa. Tinanong din kung naghiwalay na sila, dahilan ba ay si Monique, asan na siya ngayon? pero hindi sinagot ng mga ito ang tanong it's been 5 days pala bago ito naipamalita nag-leak lang daw ang info baka hindi nagawang mai-take down ng mga Mariano . Kinukuhanan ng pahayag si Sandro pero hindi pa ito nagsasalita as for Monique umalis na ito ng bansa. May mga interviews din si Pops na tinatanong about sa issue pero kahit sino man sa pamilya Mariano ay hindi nagpaunlak na sagutin ang issue. May mga nadismaya kay Sandro at binabash ito sa social media saying that how can they trust him in politics if he's already cheating, baka daw mag cheat din ito sa halalan at kung ano ano pang walang kwenta at koneksyon sa issue na ipinupunta din nila sa pulitika ang ginagawang fake news lalo na ng taga suporta ng ibang kampo. The issue won't lie down since sikat nga ang asawa sa ngayon na akala mo ay isang artista but this time the bashing and hate is getting out of hand. Kahit ganun ang nangyari sa kanila ng kanyang asawa hindi niya pa din matiis na hindi ito ipagtanggol sa mga pambabatikos rito, she knows how hard Sandro work for this and right now she knows that he needs her help. So without any hesitations I asked P.T (oo Pregnancy Test char PILIPINAS para sa TAONG BAYAN kasi yun) one of the vloggers and an Anti-Mariano before but turned into a neutral person when it comes to the family. Naging close nila ito sapagkat he's also doing interviews comfortably in the mansion. Tinawagan naman niya ito gamit ang ibang number it's a good thing na sinagot naman nito ang tawag.

"Hello who's this?"- P.T

"P.T it's me Iona?"

"Iona like Sandro's wife"- tawa nito sa kabilang linya

"Yes, silly"

"Gaga asan ka ba ngayon?, tinatawagan kita, messaged you and so on hindi ka sumasagot" litanya nito

"Let's conduct an interview, I need to clear things out for Sandro"

"I was asking you that through my messages buti na lang tumawag ka, Sandro's trust rating right now is not that good especially sa mga toxic fans niya" paliwanag ng vlogger

"Video call will do since I'm really not in Ilocos right now, Can we conduct it ASAP so it will be aired sooner?"

"Yes, sure my darling no worries" agad namang isinagawa ni P.T ang interview sa vlog nito ng live.

"So guys for today's vlog we have a guest and it's no other than Sandro's wife, it's her very first time to do this since she's having a low-key life away from the spotlight, as a wife she said that she needs to somehow defend her husband from these rumors, so let's have her for today" P.T at ayun na nga nailabas na siya sa video ng screen. Nagkaroon ng unting kamustahan before they went on their agenda.

"Hello everyone, not many of you knew me as Sandro's wife but now I'm going to speak on behalf of him. Monique Vasquez and my husband were ex-lovers since some of you already knew that but they remained good friends. It was Monique's last day in the country when they met up for good time's sake, just any normal situation they just had some chitchats and all. Syempre lumaki silang dalawa sa London the closeness is there. And as for some who's asking kung naghiwalay na kami or what, kung nasaan ako and such. I'm currently out of the country right now to do some business, I've met Monique as well and we do have a good relationship naman, as for me and Sandro our marriage is as strong as Mami Lisa and Pops marriage wala eh Idol namin sila. So please can we stop these rumors already, it's our personal lives we have the right to meet our friends, if you're doing these because of politics then I would like to advise if you can somehow play cleaner and don't step too low just to ruin your fellow co-politician. We all wanted a better country, better leaders, let's just stick to that let us not make politics a way to ruin someone and degrade ourselves and our own virtues. That's all I have to say" pahayag niya.

"Thank you very much, Iona, do you have more to say before we end this"- P.T

"I would like to give my sincerest thanks for those people who still believes in my husbands credibility, who still supports him all through out and for those supporters who protected and fought for him in person and social media, natutuwa ako na madami pa din ang nagmamahal sa asawa ko, kahit pinagnanasaan na nila, just kidding" pagpapatuloy niya.

"How about to your husband? Any message Mrs. Mariano"- pang-aasar ni P.T namula naman siya pero nagbigay na din ng pahayag.

"Hi mahal, I'm always here for you, I may not be there beside you as I have promised but I always got your back. I hope that you continue what you are doing right now, to help and inspire a lot of students during your guest speaking stuff, to help those who are in need through your own doings and means, stay healthy and safe as always." sabi niya.

"I love you naman jan, Iona"- pang-asar pa ulit ng vlogger ngumiti na lang siya. Nagpasalamat naman si P.T na nagbigay siya ng pahayag tungkol sa isyu at masaya silang nagpaalam sa isa't-isa. Kahit hindi sila magkasama ngayon ni Sandro nagawa niya pa din itong bigyan ng lakas na sana ay ipagpatuloy ng lalaki ang kanyang inumpisahan. Nabanggit din kasi sa kanya ni P.T na hindi naglalabas at walang activities na ginawa si Sandro sa nakalipas na araw. Sana lang nakatulong ang interview niya para bumalik ito sa dating ginagawa.
