Emotions.

What do emotions could do to us? I have been angry for the things that I should not. I envy them for having these, and that. I have fooled my myself and was succumbed to anger.

I don’t want to get married! I am a bachelor. Hindi pwedeng mawawala siya ng halos sampong taon, pagkatapos ay babalik siya at gusto pang maikasal sa akin. I still have plans for myself, for my life, at hindi kasama doon ang maging asawa niya.

Strutting my way inside their home, angry and almost mad. I took all the calmess left in me. Her father wanted to talk to me about it. Lola doesn’t even know about this shit going on.

I know we were promised to each other a long time ago. But after all that has happened? Do they think I am not gonna do anything about it?

She’s just like my mother, aalis kung kailan nila gusto, at babalik kung maiisipan nila. But my mother, she didn’t came back. Now I don’t know if I could trust her words again. If we got married, I am gonna make her life miserable.

She wants to be married with me? Fine. Let’s see how long she will last.

“A-Ayaw ko, M-Maxus... Hindi ko pipirmahan ‘yan...” umiiyak at panay ang iling niya sa akin habang nasa harapan ang annulment papers.

I clenched my fist tightly when she called me with my second name. Siya lang ang tumatawag sa akin niyan, and somehow I was stuck with it like a freaking gum. It was still the same, the feeling it gives whenever she calls me Maxus.

Nang tingnan ko siya ay panay ang iyak niya at namumula ang mga pisngi. I wanted to give in to her cries and pleas, but I know better. Hinding-hindi ako magpapauto sa kaniya.

“You will sign that paper, whether you like it or not. Or I will make you sign it, the worst way possible. Heard me?” matigas kong sambit bago siya iniwan doon sa kusina.

Nakasalubong ko si Manang Tess noong palabas ako. She was angry at me for making her princess cry. Oh, she is everyone’s princess! Soft-spoken, kind-hearted, sweet, loving, thoughtful and very understanding! Heck! She’s a perfection!

The sole reason why I want to have an annulment with her was, I get afraid so easily when it comes to her. That I might not be able to fulfill all of my responsibilities as her husband. Noong panahong iyon ay naguguluhan rin ako.

There was Alana, giving me comfort at times that I needed it the most. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko nagawa iyon. I have courted her without thinking that I already have a wife. Pero habang tumatagal, napapatanong ako sa sarili ko.

Do I really love Alana? Or she just reminded me of someone I know? Napapikit ako ng mariin dahil sa naiisip ko. I could not accept the fact that I am still into that woman! Siya pa rin hanggang ngayon! Tangina naman!

I want to scold myself! Iniwan ka niya! How come you’re still into her? Hindi ka pa rin ba nadadala diyan sa katangahan mo, Prince?!

“We will talk once I come back home, okay?” masuyo kong sabi sa kaniya noong marinig ang pag-iyak niya.

I told her I’ll be visiting Lola in Panay. She cried once more, she knows. She know that I am with Alana at this very moment. I felt like something stabbed my heart when she ended the call.

This was what I want right? Ang tumigil na siya para matapos ang lahat.

“Yes, enough for me to hear your conversation with Dereen.” Alana told me when I asked her if she was there for a long time.

Tumango ako sa kaniya at inaya na siyang pumasok sa loob. I knew she noticed something. Inililihis ko ang usapan naming dalawa kapag may kinalaman si Dereen.
