"Ate, may nagpapabigay po sa inyo." Bungad ng katulong kay Nica. Pagkababa ng hagdan bitbit ang isang libro about pregnancy. Binili iyon ni Ivan para sa kanya pero madalas na ang asawa ang nagbabasa ng libro.
Inabot sa kanya ng katulong ang isang brown envelope. May pag-aalinlangang tinanggap niya iyon. Dahil wala naman siyang idea kung kanino galing ang envelope.
"Kanino raw galing?" She asked. Wala naman kasing nakalagay na pangalan.
Napakamot sa ulo ang katulong.
"Hindi ko po alam ate, inabot lang daw sa gwardya diyan sa labas."
"'Di bali na lang, sige salamat."
Tumalikod siya, pumunta ng terrace upang doon umupo at buksan ang envelope.
She abruptly covered her mouth. Pigil hiningang binuklat ang mga larawan. Nanginginig ang kamay habang tinititigan iyon isa-isa.
Tears, seeming like water that stream down from eyes. It was a nude pictures of her husband and a girl who named Glaiza having a most heartbreaking moment.
She stood up from chair. Tapping her chest constantly. Sobrang naninikip ang dibdib niya.
Patuloy siya sa pag-iyak. Hindi rin maampat ang luha sa mga mata.
It wasn't one, two or three pictures but a lot. The images could not lie, si Ivan ang nasa naturang larawan. Kapwa sila hubad ng babae.
She wanted to runaway from him but she needs a confirmation from his own mouth.
She wanted to hear the truth right through her husband's mouth, even if it means breaking her heart again and again. She doesn't care at all.
Ibinalik niya ang laman ng envelope.
Umakyat siya sa itaas at doon mas lalo lamang naiyak. Humiga siya sa kama, ang mga mata'y nasa kisame.
Tinatanong ang sarili kung ano ang kulang sa kanya para gawin iyon ng asawa. Mahigit isang buwan na simula nang magkaayos sila.
Sa araw-araw na magkasama sila, hindi naman nagkulang sa pagpaparamdam ng pagmamahal si Ivan.
Kakasimula pa lamang nila sa pangarap na bagong buhay, pero heto na naman. Panibagong problem, na dala ay labis na sakit sa kanya.
IVAN was busy reading the proposal on his laptop from one of his client send from England when he felt something bad. He thought of his wife. Umaasa siya na maayos lang lagay nito.
Hindi dapat siya papasok ng opisina, kaya lang ay may mga importanteng papeles na kailangan permahan.
He couldn't relaxed himself having a bad feeling that bothers him."
He picked up the handphone on the table and dialed Veronica's number.
"Sweetheart... I miss you, both."
She was not even saying anything. She just turned on the phone and listened to his voice.
"Baby, what happened? You want me to go home?"
"Why are you calling? Aren't you busy with your other businesses?"
Ramdam niya na may mali, dahil ini-iba nito ang sagot sa tanong niya. He have to find it out so he could fix whatever it might be.
"I was reading a proposal on my laptop, when your face popped out in my head and your laughter resound. I miss you, baby. See you in a while."
Dinig ni Ivan ang paghugot ng malalim na paghinga nang nasa kabilang linya. Hindi rin ito sumagot.
