Claro's POV
"Nice game, Gavan" saad ni Harold sa'kin. He's my first and last match for this tournament. Ako ang nakakuha ng gold medal, as always. "Nice game, Serriel" saad ko naman sa kanya. "We should make a bet sometimes, I bet Niu would be a great price" saad nito.
Nag-init naman ang ulo ko sa sinabi nito. "Didn't she told you already that she's taken?" galit na tanong ko sa kanya. "Chill, I thought she was single. She's all around your university's public wall, saying that she's a crazy fan girl of yours" saad nito.
Nagtaka naman ako, a crazy fan girl of mine?
"What do you mean?" tanong ko. He pulled out his phone saka pinakita sa'kin ang isang post na talagang nagpagalit sa'kin

What the heck are these people talking about?
I admit that our relationship is hidden, but I didn't expect people to treat my wife like this. Nang dahil sa nakita ko ay nag-init ang ulo ko. They can't do this to my wife.
Umalis ako ng court at hindi na nagpaalam pa, they'll understand why I'm not around anymore. Joresh and Harrith are even questioning me kung bakit daw single pa ako. I keep on telling them that I'm married, pero hindi sila naniniwala.
Hindi pa kapani-paniwala na kasal na ako? Especially to the most beautiful perosn I've ever seen. I guess it's time to finally reveal my relationship with Niu, I feel bad for keeping our marriage secret.
I followed my instincts at agad na pumunta sa locker nito, at hindi ako nagkamali. She's here, fixing her things with a..... tear on her beautiful face. Tumakbo ako papalapit sa kanya saka agad siyang niyakap.
"I'm sorry for what they have said to you, I'm sorry if I wasn't aware, I am deeply sorry, baby" hingi ko ng tawad sa kanya. I heard her sob, it makes my heart ache, this is all my fault. "I'll make things right, baby. I don't care about people's opinion, ang mahalaga ay malaman nilang akin ka" saad ko pa.

Nandito kami ngayon sa aming tahanan. Tumahan na ito kanina, I bought her ice cream kanina to sooth her emotions. "How did you find out?" tanong nito. I'm currently combing her hair in front of our vanity table here in our bed room. "Harold showed it to me" saad ko naman.
"I'm sorry kung hindi ko sinasabi sa'yo" saad niya, pero umiling ako. "Don't say sorry, Niu. It's my fault, I'm sorry if I told you na secret na lang muna" saad ko na puno ng panghihinayang. She smiled at me while looking at the mirror. My wife is breathtakingly beautiful right now.
"From now on, I won't hide us anymore. Ibabalandra ko na sa buong mundo na asawa kita" saad ko. I heard her giggle. "Don't boast about it" suway nito. "Then ipaalam na lang natin sa kanila na kasal na tayo, but let's keep it lowkey and private" saad ko pa, doon na siya sumang-ayon.
Kinabukasan ay sinadya kong itago ang uniform nito sa photjournalism. May surname ito sa likuran 'Campos', since gusto ko na siyang ipakilala as my wife, I decided to plot everything and make her wear my sports club uniform.
