"Sir handa na po yung hapunan.."
"Ya... I'm not eating. Sorry" sambit ko sa katulong namin.
I've been dreaming of Hannah assuring me that what I feel is real... even making sure that I'm not playing games... and I act on our conversations always. I cook food for Xie if I can. I wake up to check on baby Zac. I buy her favourites... I give her gifts... pero naiwan pa rin ako. I even tell her I love her but she doesn't respond and it's fine.
"Xie?"
"Ha?"
"I love you..." sambit ko sa kanya as soon as she settled down in my house but she was just quiet
"Xie?"
"H-ha? Ano yun?"
"W-wala... sige na magpahinga ka na"
I never opened up about Hannah with her because I don't see the need to. She's already dead. Yes I loved her but I love someone else now and that's Xie
"Sino si Hannah?"
"Just an ex. She's no one now" sambit ko because I don't want her to think she's still important for me. Because no. Sila na ng anak ko yung importante.
"Ahh..."
She stood quietly after that but I texted my mom.
"Why even bring my ex up in front of my wife?!"
"Because she's your first love!"
"And she's gone! Ma will you really ruin what I have now?!"
"I'm not! That girl's not even worth it!"
"Don't badmouth my wife!"
"Baliw ka na sa babaeng yan!"
"Maybe I am but I don't care"
3 years later...
"Sir your mom's here"
"Now son, what are you planning to do? Huh? The company's relying on you yet you're here still grieving for that ungrateful woman who left you?!"
"Shut up" sambit nito sa ina
"Shut up? How dare you?!"
"Ako may kasalanan sa asawa ko ma! Don't you dare say that she's ungrateful coz she's not!"
"Wala kang ginagawa!"
"Yun na nga! Wala akong ginawa! Hindi ko inalam bakit siya nasasaktan! Wala akong lakas alamin lahat! Hindi ko inalam bakit sila umabot ng anak ko sa pag-alis! Ako yung walang kwenta dito ma!" Pagsigaw nito sa ina
"I... I can't even see my own child... if he's grown... if he even knows me... maybe I don't really deserve anyone"
"River! Come back to your senses! Ano ba?!"

Beautiful Mistake
RomanceKasal kayo pero sa tuwing mananaginip siya pangalan ng ex niya binabanggit nito, and you hear his every plea everytime he says her name. May anak kayo pero sa tingin mo wala kayong halaga sa kanya dahil dito. You hear him say things he's never told...
