Mr. Left (Mr. Series #2)

Chapter 49

Quency presented me with all of the forged documents in their entirety. "It was a fake ceremony with a fake priest and fake documents."

My heart shatters when I get to hold those documents she was talking about. She was right. Every single one of these is fake. Even the attorney's license here is expired, proving that our marriage is null.

"He fooled you again, Sheen May," she rejoiced.

I glanced at her, trying to suppress my overwhelming hatred. "Bakit mo pinapakita 'to sa 'kin?" I asked. Thinking that she possessed these documents made me realize that Jhon Rey gave them to her to prove that he'd been lying to me and that all of the things Quency said were true. They will get married soon.

"Just to remind you, na wala kang karapatan sa kaniya. Kaya let him go."

Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto at doon nakita ko ang lalaking dumurog ng pagkatao ko.

"Quency? What are you doing here?!"

Lalo akong napanganga nang ang una niyang tingnan at ang banggitin na pangalan ay hindi ako kundi ang babaeng iyon.

"I just missed you, but you were not here. Guess, I'll see you at my home." Quency bids goodbye to him before leaving us alone.

At doon palang siya tumingin sa akin. He walked over me, but I stepped back.

"Sheen May, what happened? What happened to your knees?" He was ready to sit down and inspect my knees, but I stopped him. He noticed it and faced me. He was surprised by it. "Sheen May, what's wrong? Why is she here? What did she say to you? And what are you holding?"

Doon na kumawala ang mga luha ko. Para akong pinapatay ng mga nalaman ko. Akala ko ba wala nang kasinungalingan? Pero bakit, ano na naman, 'tong nalaman ko?

"Sheen May, speak to me. Bakit siya nandito? Anong ginawa sa 'yo ni Quency?" He tried to hold my hand, but I shook my head.

"You lied to me again." I sobbed bago ko isinampal sa dibdib niya ang mga dokumentong nagpapatunay na walang bisa ang kasal namin. It was his reaction that let me recognize that what I had been told was real. What Quency said turned out to be true. The marriage that we have is a lie.

"How can you do this to me, Jhon Rey?!" I screamed. Nagdedeliryo na ako sa galit. Sobrang sakit ng nararamdaman ko. Gusto kong sumabog. "You told me, no more lies! But what is this?!"

I gripped the side of my clothes, trying to contain myself, but how can I do that?

"Sheen May, I can explain."

I shook my head repeatedly. "Don't fucking fool me again, Jhon Rey! Tang ina naman! Inubos mo na 'ko! Binigay ko na sa 'yo lahat! I trusted you, but you fooled me again! You told me you love me! Is this how you prove it? With lies?" Nanginginig ang mga labi ko, ang buo kong pagkatao. Gusto ko siyang saktan, pero ayokong gawin. Gusto kong ipasa sa kaniya lahat ng sakit na nanunuot sa dibdib ko. Gusto kong maramdaman niya.

"Sheen May, please listen to me." He holds my arms, trying to embrace me, but I am forced to remove his hand and instead beat his chest. My eyes are clouded with tears of frustration and agony.

"You're here again because you were using me! Your mother cut off your financial privileges because maybe she discovered your fucking lustful deeds! Kaya pala nagbago ka bigla! Dahil gagamitin mo na naman ako! Lolokohin! That's why you became this kind and thoughtful because you're plotting something again! I knew it, but then I let myself be stupid again! F*ck this life! I fucking hate this life with you!"

I pushed him away. I saw how his eyes were all in tears. No, I don't fucking believe it. Those were lies, too.

"You fooled us, Jhon Rey! That's what fucking hurt me! You fooled your mom, you fooled me, and guess what hurts the most? You fooled my mother, who trusted you wholeheartedly!"
