'What the fuck!? Seriously. You got married and nobody knows!? I asked. Super duper uber surprised.
'I know. I know. Just in case you wan't to get married in secret contact me. I'll help you.' She offered.
'Nice one. Pero wala akong boyfriend' I said. Huehuehue. Lagi na lang ba.
'Oh. Sorry. But here's where the problem sets in. I don't think he's happy about that' she said sadly.
'Not happy that you two got married?' I asked intently.
'No. Not happy that we got married and it's a secret.' She answered.
'I understand. You see when you commit to someone, and much more if you marry them. You want the whole world to know that he or she is yours. Lalo na kung sa kaso mo. A lot of men wants you. So kung walang nakakaalam na you're taken, then that may worry him. I can't imagine how is he feeling if you are out with somebody else.' I answered him honestly. She look more dismayed than ever.
'I can't tell the whole world I'm married can I? I can't give him a child just yet can I? Masisira ang career ko.
'THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID I DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!!' my angered swelled. Nakakainis tong taong to. Paasa ampota!
'Unless you are ready to commit and to give yourself fully dapat di ka muna nagpakasal! That is being selfish! Inasure mo lang ang sarili mo na di sya makakawala sayo kaya mo sya pinakasalan. But in fact you are being unfair kasi, he deserve better! He deserve someone na kaya syang ipagyabang sa buong mundo. Yung di sya itatago! Hindi katulad mo!!!!!.' Ang dami nya ng sinabi that she didn't notice that Miss Eva is crying. I don't fucking care kung masaktan ka. Buti nga sayo!
'I love him. So I want to keep him. That's why I marry him.' She answered softly. Like it was all her energy can muster.
'But it's not fair. Hindi naman laruan yung tao for you to keep then let him out when you wanna play' I snapped.
'I don't wanna play! I mean it when I said I do! And I can't imagine myself being with somebody else' she shouted.
'But he do! He can imagine you with somebody else! The mere fact that you are not telling the world you are taken, that was so fucking easy to imagine. Pota! Kung pwede ko lang i'all caps tong sigaw ko gagawin ko para mag sink in sayo!!' I shouted at the top of my voice.
'I think he is seeing someone new' she said calmly. I was confuse.
'What? So ano tawag sa inyo, 'In an open relation'shit?' I asked het fully aware that I am fucking sarcastic. She goes on.
'Everyday I wonder if it was my mistake that he was falling for someone else. Maybe I was the one who pushes him away kaya nag hahanap sya ng comfort ng iba. Kaya I can only cry cause I cannot blame him.' She said. Her make face was totally messed up her make up totally ruined.
'I don't know why you are here kung alam mo na na ikaw mali.' Boring. And I looked like it. 'You just want someone to tell you what you already know.' Time consuming. Che!
'You know what I better go Ma'am I don't have time.
'Please can you tell me how I can win him back.'
'Ano!?' She is shouting again. 'Taena! Unless iparaffle yang asawa mo YOU CAN'T WIN HIM BACK!'
'I don't care! I'll do what ever it takes to make him mine again. Mag kano? I am willing to pay, just help me. Help me make him fall for me again.' she begged. Bohoo nakakaawa naman. Kaya ayoko mainlove.
'I'm sorry.' I started. 'I can't just miraculously revive feelings that aren't there anymore. Walang instant recipe sa love life.' I learned that a hard way.
Miss Eva wept. Helplessly. Bitch pero nakakaawa.
'You know Miss Eva. There was a point in my life where I have loved deeply. Then one day, bigla na lang nagbago ang lahat. I don't know what happen, or what went wrong or whose mistake it was. All I know that it ended and I don't know what to do about it.' She too confessed. Miss Eva deserve at least that. For pouring herself out.
'What happen after?' she lifted her face and looked at me directly. It was getting dark outside. It was raining. Potik pati ang panahon nakiki #TheFeels.
'I didn't do anything. Because I don't know whose side let go first.' I sit next to her and give her hand a squeeze. 'And I don't want that to happen to you. I don't want you to have a life full of what if's and could have beens' oo na! Baka lang makatulong ako, hindi naman ako masamang tao talaga. Iritable oo.
Miss Eva smiled. A sincere one. Then she hugged me. Ewwwww.. Drama queen!
'Really!? You're going to help me?' pasigaw nyang tanong.
'Oo nga! Pota wag na nga lang' I am irritated. Di ko alam kung slow gets ba to si madam o bingi.
'No no no. I mean thanks. Oh my god! Really so ano gagawin ko. Ano kailangan mo?' tanong nyang sunod sunod.
'Teh hindi ako mambabarang. Wala akong kailangan.' Naiinis na naman ako.
'Can I tell you something?' pahabol na tanong ni Miss Eva. Tumango naman ako.
'You look like my little sister.' Tangina alam ko na to.
'She's dead right?' hula ko lang. Pero usually tama ako.
'Yeah. How did you know? She died when she was 18. Kung mag ayos ayos ka lang kamukha mo sya' see? I told you. I told you didn't I?
'Lahat ng nag sabi sakin nyan isa lang ang ending.' I answered her honestly.
'Let's start on the things that you will do, ok?' I said finally. 'Let us start small. Yung wag masyadong agresibo na mag mumukha ka nang chipangga or pathetic.'
'Ok lang naman sa akin na mag mukhang cheap and pathetic even.' She decided with firm determination.
'Hindi nga! Ang kulet mo. Akala ko ba kailangan mo ng tulong? Eh magaling ka pala eh. Ma oobvious ka pag may drastuc change so dapat simple lang.' badtrip naman. Mamaru much!
'Yeah okie. So ano na nga gagawin ko?' she asked excited.
'Sabi ko nga let's start small. Magkatabi pa ba kayong natutulog?' I asked her. She looked like nahihiya pa sya mag open up.
'Ahm yes.' she answered. Huhuhu buti pa sila magkatabi. Ako si big bear lang ang katabi ko.
'Try to skip work tomorrow. Wake up late. Try resting up at his arm or sleep even. Give him thay good morning greeting that shows that he's the one you like to wake up with every morning. Make him remember how beautiful it was the first time he woke up with you.' Ganerrn.
'Wow. That was nice. But I have a very busy schedule tomorrow. I don't think I can stay lazy in bed.' she sounded disappointed.
'Miss. When he married you. Hindi nya inisip schedule nya or what are the disadvantages of marrying you! Di ka lang papasok ng isang araw. You can move your scheds, for heaven sake! Pero pag yang asawa mo ang nagbago. Wala ka na magagawa.' I reasoned out.
At the end she agreed. We exchange numbers for I know that this will not be out last encounter. It's gonna be a tough job bringing them back together. But it's worth a try.
