DUKE

"Ding, CCTV, please."

He automatically switch on the television screen, showing the footage.

"CCTV 5" I asked for Ding to show the CCTV where Ellie parked his car. 

He went out  of the car to open the door on her side. She then got out of the car all silent and sluggish. She seemed to be burdened with a heavy problem . Maybe it's because they have to say goodbye again for today and she will have to spend the night with another man instead of him.

I noticed the turtle-neck sweater she was wearing.  I was too big for her and I'm sure it was Ellie's. She was just wearing a plain cow's shirt when I last saw her at lunch. I don't want to overthink but I can't deny the pain it is to see her wearing another man's clothes knowing that they are together almost the whole day

"Vlance," he called and then took his step towards her. He wraps his arms around her thin body and I can feel the warmth of their love. "It's okay. I will no longer force you to tell him what he has to know. Whatever happened, it's only ours and no one else will know." 

"I care for you because I love you!"

"I love..." she was about to answer him back but he speak again.

"Wag ka nang magsalita. I know you're tired already. Just save your energy for walking into the house. Pumasok ka na. Good night." He hugged her and when I saw that he is about to kiss her, I quickly asked Ding to turn off the screen.

I don't wanna see it.

"Duke!" she called me with her face all smiling. It seemed genuine but I know for sure it was not.

"How was your group study?" I asked, acting fool.

"Fun... yeah." She can't look at me directly in the eyes. 

Even though I know already that she was lying, I just kept on pretending like I was not aware at all.

"You really enjoyed it." I just said briefly. In deed, she enjoyed his company.

"I know, you're tired but, may I hug my wife?" I was about to held her when she stops me.

"No... I... I..." She was thinking of something to reason out.

"I smell awful." I smiled bitterly.

"I forgot something in my office. I'll get back later." I was restraining myself to not let my voice shake. I excused myself and left her. 

The moment I got in my office, I immediately surf through my computer to check her on the CCTV. 

I watched her closed the door, making sure I was already away and then she went inside the bathroom. She did not closed the bathroom door and I could see from the outside her reflection on the mirror at the bathroom sink. She was staring into nothing for a long time as if she was in a pensive thought.   

She was probably thinking of a way to get rid of this marriage. I could tell what Ellie wants her to say about the thing she has to tell me. Surely it's about filling a divorce. What else could it possibly be?

I turned my head when I saw her that she was about to take off her shirt but something in me was telling me to look. I slowly turned my head back in the computer screen.

I felt like my world collapsed when I saw the traces of kisses on her chest. Tears welled up in my eyes. Little by little, I felt the piercing sensation in my chest begun to flare up.
