Dealing With Her Ruthless Husband

CHAPTER 5: BIG SISTER

"I DON'T care so shut the heck up!" Tila nabingi si Sandra nang sigawan siya ni Denver kinabukasan pagkauwi nito galing sa isang buwan business trip daw nito. "You know what, no matter what you do, I don't care. I don't care about how you feel or what the heck up! I don't care! Screw this pathetic girl."

Her teard stream down through her cheek as her eyes heathens. Tila ba siya pinompiyang ng malakas sa tenga niya. Hindi niya ma-digest ng maayos ang mga sinavi nito. "Do you really hate me that much?" She asked him.

He turned his back to Sandra and glared intently to him. "I don't just hate you nor angry at you, I despise you. So hecking much."

"Why? Why can't you open up yourself to me? I-"

"What the heck, human? Are you kidding me? Open up myself to you? Huh! Go find those screws you lost and fix your mind." Tuluyan na siya nitong iniwan habang nakatayo si Sandra sa gitna ng bahay. Nang matahimik ang buong kabahayan ay saka siya napasalampak sa sahig.

"Ate Sandra!" It was Emma. She help Sandra stand. Itinungo niya ito sa kusina at ikinuhanan ng isang baso ng tubig. "Hindi ko na tatanungin kung okay ka lang, Ate. Dahil alam ko naman na hindi."

Sandra smiled bitterly and her tears began to pour again. "I understand him. I understand why he hate me. I was the reason why he is married and tied in a relationship he doesn't want. I-- I cause trouble to him since that day. But, I don't deserve this, do I? I can't understand why I can't get at least respect? I am slowly losing myself. I am slowly losing my pride."

Emma hushed her. She stroke Sandra's back. "Magiging maayos din ang lahat, Ma'am. Darating din iyong araw na itiknakdang maging masaya ka. Darating iyong araw na pipiliin mo iyong ikakasaya mo. Darating iyong araw na wala ka ng ibang maiisip na gawin kung hindi iyong ikakasaya mo nalang."

DENVER frustratedly slam his table and Cali can't help but to stare at him. This man is really getting into Cali's head. Iniwan na lang niya ito sa loob ng opisina niya at hinayaan doon si Denver.

Naiinis na sumandal si Denver sa kaniyang swivel chair at tumanaw sa labas ng salamin niyang bintana. Hr calmed himself. Pinipigilan niyang inuntog ang sariling ulo dahil sa ginawa niya. He promised himself not to care about Sandra but shouting at her is not what he wanted to do.

Kaya nang mapagtanto niya ang nagyari ay huli na ang lahat. Mariin niyang ipikit at mata at huminga ng malalim. He knew from the moment he saw tears in her eyes, he fcked up. He knew he chose violence.

He hear his office door opens and his Mom step in. And here we go again. Napansin ni Madame Madelle ang ibang emosyon sa mukha ni Denver.

"Why?" His Mom asked him.

"Are you here to scold me, Mom?" Madame Madelle eyebrows forrowed.

"Huh? What you I-- Wait, what?"

Denver with his aching head got scolded. Sana ay hindi nalang pala niya pinangunahan ang kaniyang Ina. Wrong move, man.

'I AM expecting you to come home tonight. I know I am in fault too. I am sad but I am not angry. Please come home. I will wait for you.'

Abby, his lover, read Sandra's message for him. Abby is in his lap. "Wow. I didn't know you have this kind of wife. Tsk. No need to be envy, I know I am better than her. Aren't I, my sweet?"

She start kissing Denver and her heart scream victory when Denver kissed her back.

EMMA stayed up all night with Sandra. Miss Sandra stay up all nigth waiting for Denver and Emma stay up all night waiting for Sandra.

"Ma'am, gusto mo po ba ng maiinom?" Lumingon sa kaniya si Sandra at isinenyas na hindi. Emma smiled at her. Nakasandal si Sanda sa may hamba ng pinto at nakatingin sa labas.
