I wiped my own sweat after finishing what I've been asked to do. This isn't the vacation that I wanted. Cleaning and all when I supposed to rest and have some peace.

I sighed.

As the wind blew hard, the can in the fence started to make a loud noise. It's irritating. Not only that. The chicken won't shut up every damn morning and even the neighbor is so damn far from us. I can still fucking hear their voices every damn morning from our room.

I gritted my teeth and entered the hell house. I can only call it that way.

"Tatay Loloy will buy woods later so come with him." Bungad niya agad sa akin pagkapasok ko palang.

He's treating me indifferently because of what happen last night. Making him jealous isn't a good idea at all. It's like betting your life to a demon and the demon will surely win. I asked our son about it but all he just said that his mama isn't different at all. That he's just like that always. I don't buy that at all but for some reason I want to believe him. I don't doubt my son because he know his mama better than I know.

Maybe, he's really just like that. I'm just overthinking about last night and he wasn't jealous at all.

I cleared my throat, "about last night," I trailed off.

We haven't talked about that even last night and this morning. It's not a big deal but I still want to clear things.

"What?" Walang emosyon niyang sabi.

I bit my lower lips and sighed, "I'm sorry for that."

"What are you sorry for? For flirting? Right in front of my face?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Hindi makapaniwala.

"Wait, you misunderstood. I never flirted anyone last night."

"Uh-huh."

Napahilamos ako sa muka, "look, I didn't know that woman. She just came then drink with us. You're the one who pushed me to drink with them."

Medyo iritado ako dahil siya naman talaga ang may gusto non. Kahit pa hinila naman ako ng matanda bago pa niya ako tuluyang mapilit.

"Drink with them. Not smile with her and let her hold your hand, Mister." Iritado niya ring sinabi.

Napapikit ako ng mariin. Again with that smile. Even those people thought it that way. I didn't smile at her! This is a fucking misunderstanding.

I took a deep breath before opening my eyes and looked at him straight in his eyes. He doesn't have any emotion but I still bravely looked at his eyes. Why does I always feel so scared at him? I never been this scared or threatened by anyone before.

There's this feeling again. The feeling that I'm being ruled by him. That he can manipulate what I feel and if he wants me to be scared at him. I will.

"What?" Inis niyang sinabi dahil sa pagtitig ko.

Napapikit-pikit ako bago bumuntong hininga.

"So, you're jealous?" I asked to assure myself that he really is.

"Who wouldn't? I've seen you all this years with many women. I thought, I won't see you that close with any of them again. Then, last night. Damn this life." Frustrated niyang sinabi.

Namilog ang mata ko at umawang ang labi. Did he just curse? It's the first time I heard him used the word damn. I never imagined him even say that nor any profanities.
