Being His Mistress

Ano nga bang pakiramdam ng isang taong nagmamahal?

Pano kung yung taong minamahal mo , pagmamay-ari na ng iba?

Pero paano kung mahal ka din niya?

Papayag ka ba sa isang bawal na relasyon?

Hanggang saan ang kaya mong gawin para sa kanya?

Anu-ano ang kaya mong isakripisyo para sa taong mahal mo?

Paano niyo malalampasan ang gantong klaseng pagsubok?

Anong mas paiiralin mo?

Ang isip mo?

O ang puso mong nagpapakatanga sa pagmamahal?

___

Once upon a time, I, Lindsay Ramos, fell in love with my childhood friend, Johann Peralta. We promised to be together when we finished college. Kaya lang, kinailangan naming magkahiwalay dahil magma-migrate ang family ko sa states.

We lost our communication when I left. After 10 long years, I came back to the Philippines and looked for him.

But guess what?

He's married and already has a kid!

Anong nangyare? Saan na napunta ang pangako niya?

Ang sakit lang kasi umasa ako. I thought I could hold on to his promise of love. Pero bakit siya nagpakasal sa iba?

I was really devastated when I learned about his status now.

One day, hindi na ako nakatiis. Pinuntahan ko siya sa opisina niya to confront him. Gusto ko lang naman humingi ng paliwanag. At least, I deserve an explanation, right?

Gulat na gulat siya nung makita niya ako.

"Surprised, aren't we? Ako nga din eh. Imagine how suprised I am to know that you're now married." I told him sarcastically. Trying to ignore the urge to hug him and tell him how much I've missed him.

"W-wha --- When did you arrived ??" he said with a shock expression on his face.

"3 days ago," I said coldly.

He was looking at me intently. And then, he sighed. "Have a seat." and I did.

"What happened, Johann? I thought we made a promise together? Why did you marry someone else? Why didn't you wait for me?" Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko. May voice broke as the tears run down my face.

Napayuko lang siya. "I'm sorry. Masyadong mahabang panahon ang 10 years, Lindsay. Akala ko kinalimutan mo na ako. Akala ko hindi kana babalik. And then Hannah came into the picture.

Siya yung laging nasa tabi ko when I was lonely thinking of you. I fell in love with her.

And the rest is history."

I covered my face with my hands and sob. "How unlucky can I get. Umuwi ako dito para sayo. Hindi ko alam na wala na pala akong babalikan." Huminga ako ng malalim and stood up.

"I've waited for you. But you can't be mine now. So, I guess this is goodbye." I fought back the urge to burst out crying again.

Tumalikod na ako and started walking towards the door when he hugged me from behind.
