Substitute Wife

#47: Suprise Guest

Yelle Dianne Francine

We are back to work, bukas pa si Dave papasok dahil may mga bagay pa syang kailangan asikasuhin, ang dami nya kasing pending works na naiwan.

Though ate Miguelle do his job, meron at meron paring mga confidential things na sya lang ang pwedeng gumalaw.

I'm currently uploading some photos in my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter account. Syempre memories yun, I uploaded my solo pictures ayoko kasing maissue lalo na maraming tao ang magugulat kapag nag upload ako ng picture namin together.

Once and for all ayoko kasing ibroadcast yung nangyare, like duh? Ayokong ishare sa public yung private life ko.

As I am browsing my Facebook account, may nag pop-up sa phone ko which is a friend request, konti lang ang friends ko dito sa Facebook, wala pa ngang 1k eh that's how private my life is.

If you'll gonna ask me if Dave does his account, ofcourse meron sya kaso sorry to say this but I was the one managing his account. He's the type of person na hindi naman antisocial media pero ayaw nya lang. I remember, we were in First year college when he ask me to do his account. At first I didn't agree, not until sinuhulan nya ko so I have no choice kaya gumawa ako. I uploaded some of his pictures on it para naman diba hindi sya sabihang poser.

So yeah, I open the friend request notification, but I regret opening it. Alex Buenaflor wants to add you as friends.

Naalala ko, iunfriend ko nga pala sya kasi nga bitter ako. Kasi nga ayoko na magkaron ng notification about him. Masyadong masakit saking makita pa ang kung anu anong balita tungkol sa kanya.

Since when pa ba sya naging active sa Social Media? Uh- since nagbreak kami? Siguro nga, at dahil sobrang bitter ako, I ignored it, dinecline ko yung friend request nya. HAHAHAHAHA Mean Dianne.

Sabay kaming pumasok ni Dave, yes po we were staying in one condominium for now dahil sinabi nyang ginagawa pa daw yung bahay namin, naexcite naman daw ako bigla.

Umakyat kami sa President's suite, using his elevator. Yes po, he's so back to being the bossy type of a boss. Back to work kami parehas kaya pagdating namin sa floor namin, nagkanya kanya kami.

Mga 10 o'clock na nang biglang may tumawag.

"Good morning, del Valle group of companies!" Bungad ko sa caller

[Dianne, it's me Stays, is Dave there?] What is happening? Kumot noo ko.

[Hey! Are you still there?]

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

[Busy ba schedule nya today?]

I looked at his schedule, mejo busy sya eh.

"Uh-Yeah, mejo busy sya. Is this about the project? I can meet you instead of him. Do you have any concerns?"

[I want to talk to him, kahit mga 15 minutes lang. Andito na ko sa lobby. See you there!] Bigla naman akong kinabahan about that, syempre it's his ex-girlfriend.

Biglang bumukas yung elevator, and there it's Stacey Westchester, isang Fil-am model.

"Hi Dianne! Is Dave inside?" I can't say any word, so I just nod at her.

Bigla nyang binuksan yung pinto, at alam kong nagulat si Dave dahil mejo malakas yung kalabog ng puso ay ng pinto pala.

The door is still open, nakita ko namang tumingin bigla sakin si Dave. Hindi ko mawari kung ano ba yung klase ng tingin ba yun. I just felt that I need to explain later.

"Hi baby! I'm back! Thank you for letting me the model for that project."

Narinig ko yun habang nagtitimpla ng juice for them, automatic na kasi yun kapag may bisita dito sa company.

"Stacey, you may leave my office. Can't you see I'm busy?"

Is this a sign na nakamove on na sya?

"What's your intention to come here at this very hour?"

Oo nga, 10 o'clock palang ng umaga, this must be really something serious.

"Well, I just want to thank you for sharing the news over the net."

"What news?"

Hinatid ko na yung juice nila, pagpasok ko palang alam na alam kong nakatingin sakin si Dave, nakakaintimidate.

"Dianne, if it's okay with you. Can you leave us alone here?" I just nod, but—

"No. Stay here, Dianne." May diin talaga? Kaloka.

"What?"

"Spill it, Stacey." Now he's calm.

"Yeah, thank you for sharing the media about me being your fiancee." WHAT?

"What are you talking about? I'm not telling anyone about you."

"Anyways, hindi pa naman sya pinapangalanan, but it's a blind item. One hot bachelor is to marry a hot Fil-Am chick, that's why I came here."

Parehas kami ni Dave natahimik.

"Akala ko the moment na nagpropose ka sakin akala ko everything were done about us, but can't you see? Destiny bring us back together, how sweet right baby?" Wala naman pala akong dapat pinapakinggan dito eh. For goodness sake, hindi ko issue 'to, issue lang nila. Nakakairita yung feeling kasi alam na alam kong wala akong habol at wala akong laban, isa akong substitute wife.

"There's no destiny for us, Stacey. I'm already married." Parehas kaming nagulat ni Stacey!!!

OhmyGod! Sasabihin naba nya? Kinakabahan ako. Feeling ko namamawis yung buong katawan ko, tuhod, biti, kilikili, batok, tyan, lahat na!!!

"You're kidding, right? You can't do this to me!! I love you Dave, and I'm willing to be a mistress just for you!" Naiiyak na si Stacey! What to do? Should I give him a tissue?

Nakita kong may tissue dun sa lamesa, so I grab it and give it to Stacey.

"You can't be married, I know your type. Hindi ka basta basta mag-aasawa, you can't be that impulsive."

"Maraming nagbago Stacey, maraming nagbago ng iniwan mo ko sa ere that night. And from that moment I realized that I don't deserve a girl like you. I don't deserve someone na mas mahal ang pangarap nya kesa sakin. I've moved on Stacey, you can do it also. Wala kanang aasahan sakin, kinalimutan na kita simula ng iniwan mo ko, simula ng pinili mo ang pangarap mo. I don't deserve you, I've moved on, tigilan mo na ako. For the last time, I'm already married. I don't love you anymore. Please, Stacey, you may now leave the room."
