Douglas not Arthur

Start

Mabigat ang hinga ko, tulad ng binigay niyang problema sa akin.

"Sa ganitong paraan nanaman ba tayo mag aaway, Syl?" He asked while calmly pointing the gun on me.

"Think so," I answered holding a gun too.

He sighed, wow. Nagawa niya pang gumanyan? "Just calm down, Honey." He said. But I won't! I can't!

"You think I can do that?! I saw you kissing that nurse!" I yelled.

"She kissed me first!" He reasoned.

"Liar!" I yelled again and shot one bullet. The cabinet of our plates broke, we're at the kitchen, having a fight again.

Napa pikit siya at napa iling iling. "Ikaw mag linis ng mga 'yan mamaya," Kalmado pero diin niyang sabi sa akin, tinutukoy ang mga platong mabasag at salamin ng cabinet. "Mahal ang pag papagawa ko sa cabinet na 'yan and you just sh-" I didn't let him finish my word because I'm tired of hearing those things.

"Sumbat nanaman?!" I asked and rolled my eyes. "Eh kung isumbat ko kaya ang pambababae mo?!" I yelled and shot another bullet.

"The fuck! How many times do I have to tell you na I don't just kiss nurses! Why don't you just believe me?!" He yelled back so my blood run to my head quickly.

"Eh bakit hindi mo sinusuot ang wedding ring kapag nasa trabaho ka?!"

He laughed in disbelief and looked at me seriously. "Kasi ayokong mawala!" He answered. Okay. I should stop na, hanggang dito nalang ako.

Binaba ko ang baril at huminga ng malalim bago muli siya harapin. He put down the gun too and sighed heavily. He even massage his head and looked at me, finally.

I can see his brown chocolatey eyes. His brows are in furrowed, his nose is still pointed, his face is in red, you can see how perfect his thin red lips is, it was soft and easy to kiss. His face is perfect, he was my man of my dream. He's my husband.

"You want our marriage to survive, so I brought you a suprise lunch. I go to the hospital, and I was convinced to say sorry to you so I cooked. I cooked, Doug! You know I don't cook! And then I saw you kissing with a nurse in your scrub inside your office. What the fuck should I feel? Happy?" I talked.

I'm done talking, it's his turn. I want to listen his side before ending this night. Umay na umay na ako sa ganitong eksena dito sa kusina. Kahit anong sulok ng pamamahay na ito, may away na nagaganapap between us.

He sighed again before talking. He never got tired sighing, nakakaurat!

"Let's just file a divorce," He said.

Sinabi niya iyon na parang ang dali dali lang. Na parang wala lang sa kanya iyon. Natigil ako at tinitigan siya. He doesn't have any emotions on his face right now. He's just... him. The Douglas I know before we kissed infront of Trevi Fountain.

"So what did you wish?" He asked, smiling.

My mouth smiled automatically too when I saw his face. I put both of my arms on his shoulder, I felt his arms wrapped on my waist, we're facing eachother right now. By the sunlight, I can see his perfect smile and face. Some hair strands on his face is blocking his thick black eyebrows that matches his thick and on fleack eyelashes.

"You'll marry me," I answered and laughed. He laughed too, but that was the truth. I wanted him to marry me.

"You do really want to be Mrs. Ross huh?" He teased and laughed.

We were happy, my heart is flowing of happiness. My brain is functioning for thinking about him. My body is moving to hug and hold his hands. My whole system is for him I think. And I think he's the perfect guy for me.

"Your wish is my command," He said and unwrapped his arms on me. I watched him pulling a velvet box from his pocket and slowly kneel down. His eyes were on me, I was lost again for a minute but I can't believe what I am watching. "A lot of people proposed infront of this fountain. And every man got yes, hope I got yes too because that's what I wished when I tossed the coin." He said still looking at me.

I felt my tears, I immediatley wipped it pero tuloy tuloy pa rin ang agos nito. I'm standing like a statue here because I wasn't expecting this. He's holding a ring, he's kneeling thw ground, he's asking me to marry him. And he wished to get a yes from me.

"Sylinder Koa Mendiola, will you be Mrs. Ross?" He asked.

"Yes!" I answered. He immediatley stand up and put the ring on my finger. He carried me, umikot siya at ramdam ko ang pag tulo ng luha ko dahil sa hilo. Joke.

"Yes!!! She said yes!" He yelled, happily. "I love you, Syl!" He added that made me a little embrassed because a lot of people can see and hear what he is doing.

Binaba niya ako at tinitigan bago halikan sa noo. I smiled at him and about to kiss his lips but he stopped me using his index finger.

"That kiss will be on our wedding," he said and smiled. "Love you misis ko." He said and kissed my cheeks.

We were happy. Kahit sino naman... But that was 5 years ago. It was 5 years ago. I was 25, my decisions were all impulsive.

"If you lie again, I'll kill another nurse, Douglas." Seryoso kong sabi sa kanya. I didn't see any reaction from his face so I walked but when I passed him, he hold my arms and faced me to him.

We like to stare to each other when we're fighting, it's like a game. Umiwas ka, talo ka. Tapos ang away. But we're us. Pareho kaming hindi nag papatalo, kaya matira matibay.

I felt something sharp on my stomach, so I make him feel that too. I smiled, this isn't the marriage we want.

"File a case or I'll kill you," He said, dead serious.

"I just want your side, why you're giving me a file of divorce?" Umiwas siya ng tingin.

"We talked about this," He said.

"Yeah, pero nakasunduan nating hindi sa gan-" He cut my words.

"I want to end this marriage, Syl." He said that made me stop again. Oh. He really wanted this.

My heart break. My heart shuttered.  My heart is him.

He put the knife down slowly.

"And I want to end you," I said and stabbed him on his back.

And there I saw my husband. My Douglas, not Arthur.

"All this time I thought you'll catch me Arthur." I said while watching him suffering. "I shall return?" I said before leaving.

I, Sylinder Koa Mendiola- Ross. Married, about to divorce a fucker. Douglas Arthur Ross the 10 year-mission has ended.
