Sincerely Yours, Your Ex-Wife

Epilogue

David Pierce Jameson

She radiates, whenever I look at her, I still get amazed.

Morgan Grace Mendoza first captured my heart the first time that I saw her. She was sitting there with her classmates, her smile is so captivating, I had trouble focusing on my welcome speech.

But I had to wait, I asked God na kapag sya talaga ang para sa akin, I will be able to pursue her kapag college na sya ng walang problema. I wanted to be stable before I pursue her.

Ang weird mang pakinggan pero I wanted to date her to marry and how can I put marriage into the picture ng hindi ako handa?

I might be inheriting my father's business but he made sure it won't be easy for me. I had to start at the bottom and climb my way up.

God gave me the chance, he gave me the sign and so I courted her. At kung sinuswerte ay sya na ang napangasawa ko.

Morgan is my dream come true. I knew that I am blessed guy. She picked me and I don't plan to waste it.

"Negative, love eh" she looks so down, the first time she took her very first pregnancy test at isang linya lang iyon.

Mabilis ko syang ikinandong sa lap ko at niyakap.

"Why are you sad? Don't be sad, hmm?" I tried to cheer her up.

"Akala ko kasi, magkaka baby na talaga tayo" she sighed after saying that.

Mabilis ko naman syang pinaghahalikan hanggang sa marinig ko ang pagtawa nya.

"Hey, let's just say na binibigyan pa tayo ng time to enjoy just the two of us, ayaw mo ba nun?" muli ko syang hinalikan sa braso at pisngi.

She laughed.

"Oo na, oo na po" she answered.

****

That negative pregnancy test, nasundan pa iyon ng maraming beses. She said may nirefer na magaling na doctor sa kanya ang close friend nyang si Mariya pero so far, hindi ako nakakakita ng resulta.

I wanted to tell her to try a different doctor pero masyadong malaki ang tiwala nya sa doctor nya at sa kaibigan nya.

To be honest, I do want to have a child of our own pero not to my wife's expense. For all the negative pregnancy test result, mas nasasaktan ako sa reaksyon nyo kesa sa katotohanan na wala pang laman ang sinapupunan nya.

I love Morgan, with or without child. I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

Things get tougher for Morgan, she is being pressured by our parents, she was asked to take a rest as JS advertising head. On the other hand, work pressure are succumbing me.

Pakiramdam ko ay nagkulang ako doon, I wasn't able to show support. I wasn't there for her.

It was one afternoon, she came to the office with her friend Mariya. I felt uncomfortable with the way she look at me and the way she looks at Morgan pero again, my wife said she is a good friend of hers.
