First clue, our wedding held at this place. I know we are married but I want to re-marry you. Remember, 11 days remaining.
-H

Inilabas ko yung litrato mula sa envelope at kahit ayokong aminin, the place looks very romantic. Candle lights everywhere at ang peaceful tignan. Para bang night garden ang theme ng kasal pero wala akong naaalala na ikinasal ako. Duh nagkaboyfriend nga wala ako kasal pa kaya?

May nakasulat pa pala doon sa likod ng picture.

Woah. Mind you hindi pa ako nakakapunta sa ibang bansa kaya napakaimposible talaga. Napatingin ako sa wedding year, it was 5 years ago. I'm 25 right now, again if this was 5 years ago then I'm 20 that time. 5 years ago I gave up school and started finding job dahil gipit kami that time so imposible talaga na ako yung babae na tinutukoy ni H.

May isa pang litrato doon sa envelope at muntikan pa akong mapamura.

"Who the hell is this?!" Ito na yung pangalawang beses na nakatanggap ako ng litrato ng babae na kamukang kamuka ko. Una ay yung 4 months ago tapos ngayon eto naman?

This is not me.

I'm not the woman in this picture.

Never in my life I wore a wedding gown kaya papaano ako nagkalitrato--I mean not me. What if mistaken identity lang pala? Sure kamukang kamuka ko 'tong babaeng 'to pero hindi ako 'to.

Ilang oras akong nakatitig dito sa picture, at doon ko nakumpirma na hindi talaga ako 'to.

This is what I saw.

I have a small mole on the left side of my left eye pero sa picture wala. I have darker hair than this woman. My eyes are light brown but hers are darker. May nakita akong tattoo sa may collar bone niya and me? I never got any tattoos. In short, I am not this girl. I am not his wife. This was all MISTAKEN.

Napahinga ako ng maluwag at napatawa ng mahina. Seriously? Ilang buwan ako kinabahan tapos ngayon gusto ko nalang matawa. Ngayon lang ata ako nakakilala ng stalker na hindi man lang alam kung anong buong info ng taong ini-istalk niya.

Nag beep yung phone ko at kinuha ko yun.

Why are you laughing?

Except for this. Kinakabahan pa rin talaga ako kapag may nanonood sa mga bawat kilos at galaw ko.

Does he know that I'm not his wife? Paano kung sabihin ko sa kanya pero paano? Straight to the point?

I'm not your wife. Mistaken identity lang po kaya pakikuha 'tong singsing pabalik isa pa bata pa ako. Bye!

Weird.

Napabuntong hininga ako at iniligpit ko yun. Kahit na kakadischarge ko kanina, may kailangan pa akong puntahan. Birthday na kasi mamaya ni Rose at day off namin.

For now, I don't care about his game which is knowing his identity and finding him----I'm not his wife period.

Ang lamig ngayon at umuulan pa rin pero kailangan kong bumili ng gift. She's my bestfriend after all kahit hindi halata.

Pagkalabas ko palang ng gate, andun na naman yung kotse. Here we go again. Lumabas doon yung pamilyar na driver at wala man lang kaemo-emosyon.

"Pasok po ma'am, ihahatid ko na kayo."
