I rest my head on my swivel chair and then sigh

"stupid" sambit ko habang nagpapahinga

I suddenly remeber I had her car key

And How alice ....... how did she get here kung nasakin ang susi ng kotse niya?

And one thing san siya umuwi??? kagabi kung hindi siya umuwi don sa bahay niya?

My mind was racing, filled with questions and confusion.

I had a Senate hearing this afternoon, chairing a discussion on the abuse of OFWs in other countries.

Are stil shes thinking? May asawa pa siya tas sumasama siya sa Donita'ng yon? How did she do this to me....

Nakakapagod ang araw na to ..

After a few minutes of rest, I stood up and headed towards her office.

I knocked and then open her door

I saw her with that sharp eyes staring at me

"Your key " inabot ko ang susi niya

"Next time huwag kang sasama sa iba baka nakakalimutan mong may asawa ka pa" I added, my voice tight with anger.

Agad rin akong umalis sa kanyang office ng mabigay ko ang susi niya

"Tssk "narinig ko namang pagkakasabi niya

8:30 Pm

Bumalik ako sa company pagkatapos ng hearing , Para tignan kung meron pa ba ang asawa ko sa building

The fluorescent lights of the company parking lot hummed, a stark counterpoint to the simmering rage inside me.   Another Senate hearing bled into another soul-crushing day, and now I was here, waiting, watching, the bitter taste of betrayal coating my tongue. I'd returned to the building, a foolish hope fluttering in my chest – the hope of finding Alice, of confronting her, of understanding this inexplicable mess.

Instead, I found Mayor Donya, emerging from her car like a sleek predator emerging from the shadows.  Her tailored suit, impeccably pressed, seemed to mock my own rumpled attire, a reflection of the disarray within me.

"Hey," I said, my voice devoid of warmth, a stark contrast to the saccharine smile she offered in return.  It was a smile practiced, rehearsed, a mask expertly crafted to hide whatever lurked beneath.

"Oh, hi, Senator.  Where's Alice?" she asked, her tone casually inquisitive, yet the glint in her eye betrayed a sharper intent. The casual inquiry felt like a deliberate jab, a blatant disregard for my feelings.

Taray mo naman saakin mo pa talaga hinanap ang asawa ko?

"My wife ? I think nasa taas ,didn't you saw her car andito oh kaya nasa taas pa ang asawa ko" I shot back, the words sharp and pointed, laced with the venom of wounded pride.  The casual tone she'd adopted was infuriating.

She blinked, the practiced smile faltering for a fraction of a second before snapping back into place

"Oh, I see," she murmured, her voice a silky purr that grated on my nerves.

"Did you come in my building for a purpose ? or _" she cut me off

"Ofcourse i'd came here didn't you remember im still your client Senator .... and one more thing Ipapa-alala ko lang po na sa makalawang araw na yung event and lastly make it perfect para maganda naman ang rating ko sa service niyo Madam Senator"
she replied smoothly, her eyes glittering. 

"Mmmkay, so it's Friday night," I said, mimicking her casual tone, my voice dripping with forced indifference. "And that's all there is to it?" The question hung between us, charged with barely suppressed anger.

Sa dami ng sinabi niya ,agad namang uminit ang ulo ko

"Yun nga sen" she chuckled

pwede ko kaya tong sapakin ?

"I'll leave you to it," I said, my voice carefully controlled, "Pupuntahan ko lang ang asawa ko"

"Wait," she said, her voice suddenly sharp, Hihirit pa ata to ,,,,,,,,,cutting through my carefully constructed calm.  "Why don't we go together?  may sasabihin lang ako sandali sen."

Before I could respond, I heard the familiar click of Alice's heels on the pavement.  She appeared, her face etched with a carefully constructed neutrality, her bag clutched tightly in her hand.

"Hon," I began, but my words were cut short by Alice’s greeting to Donya. 

"Alice " donita spoke as she smile

"Mayor," alices  said, her voice bright, almost overly so, a smile gracing her lips as she offered Donya a hug.  The warmth in her greeting, a stark contrast to the icy reception she gave me, felt like a physical blow.  The betrayal was palpable.

ano ako hangin ?

dinadaanan lang ako? seriously im your beloved wife

I stepped forward, interrupting their exchange. 

"Hon, kunin ko na yang bag mo," I said, my voice low and controlled, a stark contrast to the chaos within.

"No, no, Ma'am, it's okay,po" she replied, her voice distant, formal, as if addressing a stranger rather than her wife

i think sa loob lang naman ng kompanya niya ako pwedeng tawaging Maam Pero sa labas pwede niya akong tawaging Mahal, Hon or so whatever .

"Ma'am? We're not at the office, Alice.  Don't call me Ma'am. I'm your wife," I said, my voice tightening.

"I'll take it," Donya interjected, smoothly taking the bag from Alice. "You're heading to your condo, right, Alice?" The words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken implications.

Since when pa siya nag rent ng condo ? ni hindi manlang ako na inform?

"Condo?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper, but the question resonated with a force that silenced them both. "When did you rent a condo, Alice?"

sumandaling kumunot ang noo ko

"Yesterday," she replied, her voice flat, devoid of emotion, a stark contrast to the passionate woman I once knew.

Donya's arrival was perfectly timed.  "Hindi ka pa ba uuwi Alice?" she asked, her tone subtly suggestive, her eyes lingering on Alice for a moment too long.

"Oh, yes, it's 8:45. I should go," Alice replied, her eyes darting between Donya and me.  She moved towards Donya's car, a silent farewell, a silent affirmation of a truth I didn't want to accept.

"I'll see you later, Sen," Donya added, her voice light, leaving me standing alone in the parking lot, engulfed by the cold, harsh reality of my shattered world.

Hindi pala ako kamahal mahal na asawa :(
