Brussels, Belgium 7pm
Bong and Liza stayed in the accomodation prepared for them by the Belgian government.
Bong was quietly reading the news on his phone in the living room nang biglang lumapit si Liza sa kanya na pangiti ngiti.
"Hon, what are you reading?" tawag niya dito.
When Bong heard what she called him, hindi niya maiwasang tumaas ng bahagya ang kilay niya.
Liza and him are over and the fact that she is still calling him Hon after everything she did really irritated Bong.
"Hon? are you serious Liza? tell me you're joking? pwede ba, can you stop pretending that everything is okay between us?" he said sarcastically with a slight laugh.
"What do you mean am I serious? of course I am, do I sound like I'm joking? May I remind you Mr. President, I'm still your first lady at sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, you are still married to me" Sagot naman ni Liza na mejo tumaas na di ang boses.
"Really now, Ms. Araneta? Well I guess you're right, Yes, technically we're still married but you lost me for God knows how long!! So How could you smile and pretend that you did not cause this pain I'm feeling right now?" Bong said in an upset tone with his eyes burning with rage.
Not the usual malumanay and kind approach.
He was angry
Galit na galit.
Simula kasi ng tuluyan na niyang hinayaan ang sitwasyon nila ni Sara, Bong's attitude took a sudden turn. Mabilis na siyang magalit, naiirita na siya sa mga maliliit na bagay, and worse, even smiling is too difficult for him to do now. Ang dating palangiti at palatawang Bong, nagbago na.
These days, makikita mo nalang talaga siyang nakangiti pag kaharap ang publiko. Other than that, he became so grumpy.
And obviously, it's his coping mechanism.
Nitong mga nakaraang linggo, Napapadalas na din ang pagbabasa niya at pagkukulong sa kwarto ng mag isa.
He simply couldn't bear the sight of the woman who's causing him so much misery and pain.
When Liza saw how angry Bong was, imbes na kumalma ay hindi parin siya nagpatinag.
So she challenged him even more.
"Ano ba kasing pinagpuputok ng butchi mo? Your mistress? namimiss mo na ba ang kabit mo??" she raised her voice even more.
When Bong heard what Liza said about Sara, di na din siya nakapagtimpi dito.
He quickly stood up, grabbed her right arm and said
"Wag mong idadamay si Sara dito!!! And please, bago pa ko maubusan ng pasensya sayo, quit calling her mistress!! Pero sige, pagbigyan kita.. If you really wanna know, Yes! Oo namimiss ko si Sara. I miss her with all my heart. I still love her so much.. pagmamahal na hindi ko kayang ibigay sa iba.. lalong lalo na sayo!! So if you'll excuse me, I'll go to my room bago pa ako mawalan ng respeto sa nanay ng mga anak kong lalaki." Bong said sabay bitaw sa braso ni Liza at talikod.
The night could have ended there pero dahil pursigido talaga si Liza na sabihin kay Bong ang nalaman niya, imbes na patahimikin na niya ito, she yelled behind his back spilling the tea.
"Oh talaga? Mahal mo pero iba ang minamahal? you're so kawawa naman Bong! All these misery for a woman na nakikipaghalikan sa ex husband niya in a public restaurant? Oh c'mon Bong, you can do better than that!!" Liza laughed sarcastically
When Bong heard what she just said, his heart sank dahilan kung bakit natigil din siya sa paglalakad.
As he stood there speechless, he slowly faced Liza and spoke
"What do you mean? Are you making up stories again? Will you please stop!" pakiusap niya. This time, his voice sounded so defeated.
Although he wasn't sure kung nagsasabi ba ng totoo si Liza, the thought of Sara moving on without him made his entire being ache.
Yung tipong sakit na halos hindi mo na maintindihan kung saan nanggagaling? That's what Bong felt.
As he froze from where he was standing, Liza quickly pulled out her phone and played a video.
It was a footage of Sara kissing Mans on that restaurant.
When he saw the entire video, halos matumba na si Bong sa kinatatayuan niya but he did his best to keep himself together before saying.
"I see. Well, I'm happy for her this is all my fault so I think it's just fair enough that I suffer. Sana masaya ka na" he told Liza with tears forming in both of his eyes, he turned around and walked away.
After the confrontation, nagkulong na naman si Bong sa kwarto.
It was winter in Belgium but Bong stood on the Balcony thinking about what he just watched.
Di na niya alintana ang lamig ng snow.
All he could think of that time was her.
His Sara.
The woman he dreamt of calling Mrs Marcos.
The same woman whom he fears that is now slowly getting back to being Mrs. Sara Duterte-Carpio.
