"Kam, si Sabel? Do you happen to know where she's at right now?" Bungad na tanong ko kay Kamara nang pagbuksan niya ako ng pinto.

Galing na ako sa mansion ng mga Elizondo, but Sabel wasn't there. I even asked their maids, but they had no clue where she was. Hindi ko rin nakita roon si Mina, so baka magkasama sila now. Kanina ko pa nga rin ito tinatawagan pero hindi nito sinasagot ang call ko.

Nag wo-worry na ako.

Walang tigil sa pagkabog ang dibdib ko, at kanina pa ako hindi mapakali.

What if huli na pala ako? God, I hope not.

As I observed Kamara's expression, I noticed that she lifted both eyebrows slightly, forming a subtle but noticeable arch on her forehead. Then, she shook her head slowly from side to side, indicating a negative response.

"Why? Do you need anything from her?" tanong niya sa seryosong tono. I can't help but notice that she seems quite serious today. It's my first time seeing her like this.

Ibang-iba sa dating cheerful na Kamara.

Pero, I think alam ko na kung bakit ganito siya sa akin ngayon.

"N-No—I mean, yes! I need to see my wife, Kam. Kailangan ko siyang makausap," I responded nervously—Hindi ko kinakaya ang talim ng pagtitig niya sa akin.

"Your wife? Really, Kerensa? After mong pirmahan ang divorce papers niyo may lakas ng loob ka pang tawaging wife si Sabel?" she spoke with such emphasis that every word seemed to carry weight.

Napaawang ang bibig ko sa sinabi niya dahil na rin sa gulat. Ilang sandali akong natahimik. My heart raced as I tried to gather my thoughts and regain my composure. Eventually, I managed to break the silence with a nervous cough.

"I did not sign the divorce papers, Kam. Hinding-hindi ko magagawa iyon."

Nangunot ang noo niya, tila ba naghihintay pa siya ng kasunod sa sinabi ko.

"Si Dinnarah ang pumirma niyon. She copied my signature perfectly, which is why the document was accepted." Paglilinaw ko.

Natawa siya ng sarkastiko.

"Do you think maniniwala ako?" Disappointed na umiiling-iling siya. "I would have believed it if we were in a movie, but this is real life, Kerensa. Hindi kami bobo para maniwala sa walang kwentang paliwanag mo."

I could tell she was furious with me from how she looked at me. Her eyes spoke volumes of her anger towards me. Pero naiintindihan ko si Kamara, galit at disappointed siya dahil sa pagiging walang kwenta ko kay Sabel.

"I'm telling the truth, Kam. Umamin si Dinny sa lahat ng maling nagawa niya kay Sabel at sa akin."

She shook her head once more.

"Kung totoo man iyang sinasabi mo. I'm sorry, but I think you're too late. Matagal ko ng sinasabi sa 'yo na may mali sa kabit mo, pero you weren't listening to me."

Kamara appeared upset or angry earlier, but now her expression has shifted to sadness, and she looks at me with a sorrowful gaze. It seems as if something has happened that caused her to go from anger to sadness, and I can feel the change in her demeanour.
