Kasal 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...

River's PoV
"Xie..." sambit ko when I saw her come out of a taxi with my son.
"Papa!" Bati sakin ng anak ko running towards me
"Hey... how's my son?"
"Papa mama said we're staying here!"
"R-really?"
"Zac get inside" diretsong sambit ni Xie sa bata na sinunod naman nito
"Xie..."
"One month. One month and all this is over"
"O-okay..." sambit ko na lang bago niya ako nilagpasan papasok ng bahay.
"Xie..." pagtawag ko sa kanya when I followed them inside the house
"I'll use the guest room"
"Xie... can we talk now?"
"Bukas na. Pagod ako" sambit niya walking past me
"Papa..." pagtawag sakin ng anak ko wanting to be lifted so I did
I'm hoping I wouldn't need to, Zac, but if she wants me to... then I don't have a choice
"I'll promise to still see you, baby"
Sambit ko then my son hugged me. I hugged him back. I missed this kid so much every contact makes me tear up.
"Papa why po?"
"I'm just happy to see you baby."
"Papa?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you have biscuits po?"
"Ahh... yes. Are you hungry?"
"Yes papa..."
"Want me to cook? Hmm?"
"Really?! Yes po!!"
"Alright let's head to the kitchen, hmm?"
"Yey! Yey!!"
Trixie's PoV
*knocks
"Yes?"
"I... I cooked some pasta..."
"Di ako gutom"
"Still... have some... here"
"Ayoko nga River"
"I... I'm sorry. This will be in the kitchen... if you change your mind" sambit niya leaving the guest room.
This is a bad idea. This is really a bad idea.
River's PoV
"Hay..."
"Sir? Okay lang ho ba kayo?"
"Yaya... I should be happy that they're here, right?"
"Sir..."
"Bakit... bakit parang mas mahirap... knowing that after this month... I need to leave her... as she wanted..."
"Sir just... give your best shot and explain... if hindi pa rin kayo maintindihan ni mam Trixie..."
"Then there's nothing I can do, right? Right. Hay"
"Uminom na po muna kayo ng gamot niyo sir"
"Thanks, yaya" sambit ko as I reach for the medicines I'm taking for insomnia. I've never been able to sleep sound ever since she left that I had to be under medications just to be able to "rest"
Trixie's PoV
"Damn it!" Bulong ko sa sarili ko. It's 3am and I can't even find the position to sleep. Zac is sound asleep beside me after he played with River whole afternoon. Dinala na lang siya dito ng tatay niya nang makatulog daw habang nasa sofa.
I stood up and went to the kitchen only to be surprised that River was there.
"Is there something wrong?" River
"Bat gising ka pa?"
"Ahh... just sipping some milk to help me sleep"
"Help you? Sleep?"
"Insomnia..."
"Kelan ka pa nagkainsomnia?"
"Ever since you left..." nagulat ako sa sinabi niya but I didn't show him
"Maybe because... I was thinking if you're safe... wherever you are... or maybe because I'm blaming myself... for everything that you felt. I'm just living with it now"
Wala akong nasabi so I just headed to the refrigerator to get some water
"I love you Xie... I'm sorry if I failed you as a husband... I'm sorry if I've hurt you in whatever ways that I don't know... I promise... I'll be gone after this. You don't have to run away anymore. Good night Xie"
My grip tightened to the pitcher habang naririnig ko ang pag-alis niya sa kitchen counter. That's all lies... lies.
