TRAPPED IN MARRIAGE

SUPERWOMAN

MIKE

Pagkatapos kong magbigay ng statement sa press and I was just talking to some of them when I saw Margaux coming down the stairs. I see that she has changed. Yaya Linda was behind her. I could see that she seemed rested. Parang walang nangyari. If I did not witnessed the whimperings and the crying a couple of hours ago I would think na hindi siya affected. Sinalubong ko siya, I hugged her when he got down the stairs. I don't know what got into me but I kissed her forehead and hugged her beside me. She wrapped her arm around my waist. She said hello to the press who were there. She thanked the volunteers who were busy with their  snack. She left my side and went to the other people who were  there to help in the campaign. 

I was looking at her and at the other members of my staff. I could see how amazed they are with her. Tito Mario smiled widely at me as telling me that he was right after all about her. That he chose well. I ignored him and looked at the girl who turned into a woman overnight. Nasan na yung batang binulyawan ko nung una kaming magkita? Yung takot na takot na bata pero who pretended that she was not affected at all sa pagmumura ko at paninigaw ko pero I know na takot na takot siya sa akin. She looked at me and she smiled. Parang may sumuntok sa dibdib ko. Ano yun?

MARGAUX

He was looking at me again with that scowl on his face. Parating naka simangot ito sa akin lately. Pero kanina sa room namin nung umiiyak ako, he was so tender. He was hugging me and holding me the way a husband holds a wife when she is not feeling well. At least that time, tender siya hindi nagagalit , hindi nakasimangot, hindi nagrereklamo. Kanina, hindi siya si Senator Mike, siya si Mike ang asawa ni Margaux. Kaso di ko na naman alam ang maling ginawa ko, nakasimangot na naman siya sa akin. Haay kailan kaya to matutuwa sa akin?

Kanina nung binabaril kami, nag flash sa akin ang mukha niya eh. Ewan ko pero parang natutuwa siya at least he does not have to pretend to be in love pag namatay ako.He can always say balo ako and I don't have to marry again.

Nasa phone na siya ngayon. Sino kaya yung kausap niya at naka kunot na naman ang noo niya. Lumalabas na naman ang cleft chin niya. Galit na galit ang mukha niya. Tinapik siya ni Tito Mario kaya pumasok siya sa study niya. Pumasok si Robert at kuya Nate after Tito Mario. Alam ko something is wrong again. Haaay ganito ba talaga angbuhay ngh asawa ng magiging presidente or ng politiko? Hindi ko naman ito plano sa buhay ko eh.

I wanted to be a lawyer and be the best trial lawyer there is. I want to travel the world ALONE. Kaso this time I will travel the world as a First Lady kung sakaling manalo si Mike. Siya ang lumalabas sa surveys na panalo. 

"Ang asawa ni presidential candidate Senator Michael Bustamante na si Margaux ay tinambangan kaninang  ala una ng hapon sa may Katipunan. Napag alaman na maydalawang nakamotorsiklo na umipit sa sasakyan ng ginang habang ito ay pauwi na. Walang nasaktan sa insidente. Antabayanan ang buong kwento mamaya sa 24 Oras.

Ipinapakita ang vidoe clip ng dumating ako sa bahay at ng binuhat ako ni Mike. Grabe ganun pala itsura ko? Ugh! NAkakahiya. Hahaha. Pero nakita ko sa mukha ni Mike ang concern nung sinalo niya ako pero nung binuhat na niya ako wala na, galit na naman ang mukha niya.
