Alexandra POV
"No Mel, I'm good. But I can't go now, mommy's duty po." Sagot ko kay Melba na nasa kabilang linya. Four days ago Ashton and I had a huge misunderstanding. Nang araw na iniwan nya ako sa bahay I got so depressed I drive to see Melba at doon sinabi at ekwento ko na sa kanya ang lahat. Wala akong itinago kahit isa. I can't remember how I started telling her my story and when I started crying like there was no tomorrow. For the son that I lost, for my husband that I'm losing, my family and friends that I have abandon. Basically I cried because I lost my life. But Melba is truly a good friend, she made me understand things na hindi ko man naiintindihan noon, ngayon naman ay malinaw.
I remembered her words that night.
"Sandra, karapatan mong umiyak dahil nasaktan ka. Naka gawa ka ng mga maling disisyon. You were young and vulnerable at that time pero huwag mo sanang mamasamain ang sasabihin ko, things happened in our past because it happened for a reason. Things will not change because we wanted to change it. It's a lesson learned we have to accept."
"Alam ko naman yon, but I lost my son Mel and I'm about to lose my husband too!"
"Sandra you are not listening to me, ang sabi ko, lesson learned. Don't make the same mistake again. Selfish it may sound but it's the truth. Our mistakes make us stronger and wiser. Sandra, if you didn't lost your son I would have lost my daughter. Kung hindi dahil sa iyo, wala akong Cielo ngayon. You save her and me. I'm sorry for saying it, for opening your wound. Kaya sana huwag mong iisipin na wala ka ng ginawang tama."
"Mel."
"Don't make that mistake anymore Sandra. Don't run away this time dahil nasaktan ka. Hindi lahat may second chances. Get your husband and keep him. Kung kinailangan mong magpaka pokpok then do it. Tie him into your bed and love him like there is no tomorrow." She said in between laughters and tears, kaya ng tumawag si Ashton dahil gabi na at wala ako sa bahay, nag pasundo ako sa kanya dahil sadyang nilasing ako ni Melba and the next day I woke up inside my husband's arm naked and wanting. That morning, I made love with my husband my way.
"Hindi mo ba pweding dalhin dito yang mga anak mo? It's a children's party and Sandra naman you promised Cielo na pupunta ka sa birthday nya."
"I know Mel and I'm really sorry. I'll catch up with Cielo Mel, I promise you that."
"I understand Sandra, sige kakausapin ko na lang ang anak ko." Malongkot na sagot nito.
"Thanks Mel." I really wanted to go, parang anak ko na rin kasi si Cielo at mahal na mahal ko ang batang yon pero hindi ako pweding basta basta na lang umalis dahil ngayon lang kami buong magkakasama nina Ashton at nang mga bata. For some odd reason, Kristina and Trey were doing something for Matt.
"Hey why do you look so sad?" He asked. Ni hindi ko man lang napansin ang pag pasok nito ng kwarto namin. Andito na kami sa condo tulad ng gusto nito, mostly lahat na ng mga damit ko ay andito na rin. It's been 3 months at kahit paminsan minsan may tampohan pa rin kami, I make it sure it doesn't last a day. I would always make way for us to make amends even if I needed to seduce him or climb our bed naked.
"Si Melba nagtatampo sa akin." Sagot ko sa kanya habang ipinagpatuloy ko ang pag aayos ng mga gamit ko. Some of my things weren't finish tiding yet, paano ba? Makulit kasi si Ashton. Katulad na lang ngayon. I'm standing in front of our closet, kung saan inaayos ko ang mga damit kong katutupi ko lang and Ashton is standing behind me doing his thing.
"Why?" He asked pero ang mga kamay nito ay nasa mga dibdib ko, pumipisil habang hinahalikan nya ang leeg ko at ng hindi pa na kontento ipinasok nya na sa loob ng t-shirt ko ang mga kamay nya habang pinaglalaruan ang mga nipples ko. Wala pa naman akong suot na bra dahil yon ang gusto nya.
