IM MRS PADILLA -- SHE'S MY WIFE [KathNiel]

SMW 28

SMW 28 iii.

SHORT UPDATE.

"How can you continue a story when it's already marked done and finished?"

"You're back..."

"I wished it's that easy, but it's not."

Daniel's POV

Napapikit nalang ako.. I don't really know. Kung sila umaasa pa na magkakaroon kami ni Kathryn ng Second Chance.. ako hindi na. I don't really think na magkakaroon pa. Hindi ko na din alam kung hahayaan ko pa ang sarili ko na pumasok sa isang relasyon na kasama siya. Masyado na kaming nagkasakitan noon, hindi naman ako tanga para ulitin pa.

And she's happy already, she's happy with Light. Hindi ako magpapaka-selfish pa para kunin siya sakanya. If she chose him, then so be it.

Tsaka, bakit pa namin babalikan ang isang bagay na tapos na. How can you continue a story when it's already marked done and finished?

You can no longer continue, when it's already finished. Paano mo itutuloy kung tapos na pala? There's no need to continue.. dahil may ending na.

It's time to make a new story.

With, or without her.. I have to.

And narealize ko, hindi lang naman ang magmahal ng other half ang rason ko para mabuhay... kailangan ko din mag-aral, tulungan ang pamilya ko. Madami pang bagay na pwedeng gawin, hindi lang puro pag-ibig. This time, even if she comeback or even if I found a new love... I need to set my priorities. I need to straight things out. I can't just fall inlove and forget all my responsibilities.

You need to fix yourself. Be selfish enough to be successful. For yourself. Don't just pour your whole self into love. Do remember, love can make you. But it can also destroy you.. so don't ever let it destroy you. Be smart enough. Kasi yang love, dadating din yan. Kahit anong mangyare.. dadating siya. But education and everything.. it won't come unless you work hard for it.

After all the dilemmas na naranasan ko in this age. Natuto na ko, kaya ngayon.. alam ko na kung pano lumaban. Not just in love, but also in life.

I may have failed to be a father in this age.. or even a husband.

But I will make it to the point that I'll succeed in the future.

Naputol naman ang deep thoughts ko nang biglang nag-ring ang phone ko. Agad ko naman itong sinagot.

"Hello, sir? Si Xeni po ito. Yung asawa nyo po kasi.." nagulat naman ako sa biglaang pagtawag ni Xeni. Si Xeni ang bagong kasambahay sa dati naming bahay ni Kath.. wait, asawa?

"Anong pinagsasa-sabi mo Xeni? Anong asawa? Sinong nandyan? May tao bang dumating?" Agad agad ko namang tanong.. don't tell me.. don't tell me she's here. Ahm, Daniel.. that's pretty impossible knowing she's not in PH.

"Yung asawa nyo po! Andito siya!" Napa-roll eyes naman ako.. nahihibang na ba si Xeni. Tsaka pano naman niya makikilala kung si Kath man, never pa niya siya nakita personal. Ay, baka naman si Julia.

"Si Julia ba? Bakit siya nandiyan? Teka sige, pupuntahan ko nalang siya. I'll be there in a few minutes." I told her. May sasabihin pa sana siyang nang patayin ko na ang tawag. Mamaya ko nalang papakinggan ang sasabihin niya. Mas maganda na napersonal kami maguusap.

Knowing na nandun si Julia. But the thing is, why is she there... she just left. My mind want to say na si Kathryn yun. Pero, It's too far to be possible.

Tsaka, pano naman nalaman ni Xeni na asawa ko. Atleast, si Julia nakita na niya talaga na kasama ko siya. But kathryn? No, she never actually saw her. Unless..

Agad naman akong nag-drive papunta sa bahay namin dati. Pagkadating ko wala akong nakitang kotse na naka-park sa unahan. Well, that's odd. Kung andito si Julia, she would've used her car.. or baka naman nagpahatid.

pero imposible.. she always use her car.

Pumasok naman ako sa bahay, agad naman din akong sinalubong ni Xeni.

"Sir!"

"Oh, Xeni. Asan na si Julia?" Agad ko namang tanong sakanya.

"Wow ha, talaga bang nagkamabutihan na kayo. Na talaga siya ang una mong naisip hanapin sa bahay natin."

Napatingin naman ako agad sa may hagdanan.. what the actual fvck.

"You're back."

She smirked and waved at me. Dahan-dahan ko naman siyang pinagmasdan. I can't believe she's here. Damn, Kathryn's here. I noticed that she lost some weight. Pero ang nakapukaw ng pansin ko.. mugto ang mata niya. Is she okay?

"Xeni, ba't di mo naman sakin sinabi na nandito si Kath? You should've told me clearly." Pagbunton ko naman kay Xeni. I just can't believe..

"I heard what she said. Hindi naman na siguro problema na inakala mo na si Julia ang nandito. Well, are you guys really married? That's so fast." I can sense the bitterness in her voice.

"Cut the crap out. So tell me, anong kailangan mo? Andyan din ba si Light? Your beloved boyfriend?" I saw how she almost gritted her teeth nung minention ko si Light. So I hit the right part.. may nangyare nga sakanila.

"I just needed space to stay. Aalis din ako pag ka balik ni Mama from Palawan. So please." Sabi niya, babalik na sana siya sa kwarto niya ng magsalita pa ko.

"Why is it you chose to be here? Ang dami daming lugar Kath, bakit dito pa? And what happened to your oh so sweet relationship with Light? Ha? Why didn't it led to a fvcking successful and happy relationship?" I don't know kung bakit eto ang lumalabas sa bibig ko. Pero sana naman hindi masayang yung sakit na naramdaman ko nung piliin niya si Light.

"Bahay ko din to, Daniel. And about me and Light.. I wished it's that easy, but it's not."

I was left dumbfounded with that. Bumalik na siya sa kwarto pagka-tapos niya yun sabihin..

Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdan ko.

I can't believe how Kathryn could always change the path I'm taking so damn easily.
