Betrayed Hearts [UNDER REVISION]

Valentine's Special

A PURE WORK OF FICTION, NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE FLOW OF THE CURRENT STORYLINE. IMAGINATION LANG NG MALIKOT NA UTAK NG AUTHOR. HAPPY READING.

"Madam"

Nag aalangan pa siya kung ibibigay niya o hindi ang suitcase na hawak niya. Labag man sa loob ko pero tumayo na ako at malambing na hinawakan ang leeg niya. Idinikit ko pa ang mukha sa gilid ng mukha niya saka bumulong.

"I can kill you in a snap, give it to me"

Marahil sa taranta ay agad niyang binitawan ang hawak hawak saka umalis ng opisina ko. Napahinga naman ako ng malalim saka kinuha ang suitcase.

Sakto namang pagkaupong pagkaupo ko ay tumawag sa akin si Andy.

"Sweetheart, can we cancel our dinner together? I have important business to attend to-"

"More important than me? Andy-"

"I have to go sweetheart. I said what I have to say. I'll be home tommorow morning" aniya saka ako binabaan ng tawag.

When was the last time we shared dinner? When was the last time he talked sweetly? When was the last time I felt I have a husband? That was a long fucking time ago.

I tried calling him again but failed.

"Mommy where's Dad?"

Palihim kong pinunasan ang luhang kumawala sa mga mata ko saka hinarap si Irene.

"Irene, didn't I told you to knock first before going in?" malumanay kong aniya saka siya nilapitan.

"I did mommy" nagtataka niya naman akong tiningnan, "Where's Dad? I miss him na po"

Pilit akong ngumiti sa kanya. Saka hinaplos ang buhok niya.

"Baby, sobrang busy pa ng Daddy ha pero promise ni mommy sa susunod na araw magbobonding tayo, okay ba yon?" pambobola ko sa kanya.

Natuwa naman ako ng makita ang magandang ngiti ng anak ko.

"Balik ka na sa kwarto mo, aayusin na ni mommy mga ginagawa niya para bukas lalabas na tayo"

Parang nanghina ang tuhod ko ng makaalis si Irene. Alam kong may problema matagal na, pero isinawalang bahala ko iyon sa pag aakalang kaya pa naming ayusin ni Ferdinand ng ilang araw lang. Lumipas ang ilang buwan parang nagkalayo ang loob naming dalawa.

What happen to the love that once was strong?

I am hurting. I am suffering. But the man who's my remedy is nowhere to be found. The man I wanna be with in times like this was not here.

The only thing to find out where everything went wrong is this suitcase. I embrace myself as I opened it. There was nothing but a audio and video tape.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit may kabang dulot agad iyon sa akin. This is not what I'm feeling all along right? I hope it's not. Because I don't know how can I trust Ferdinand again.

Nanginginig ang kamay na isinalang ko ang audio tape para pakinggan.

"Darling..."

I felt weak. I felt everything in the world pass upon my shoulders. I felt betrayed.

"Again?"
"Yes, again, I can't get enough of you darling"
"Naughty"
"Let's get you pregnant"

I paused the recorder. I can't. I can't hear it no more. It's torturous.

"Where's Ferdinand?" I firmly asked him. Fabian Ver.

"Madam-"

"Where is Ferdinand?" I cut him off. Instead of hearing an answer I heard a silence.
