After 3 years of being together, she accepted his proposal right after her graduation at Culinary school. Ngunit, ilang weeks na din ang nag daan ng mapansin niya na tila ba may gumugulo sa wife to be niya. Balisa at distracted. O kaya naman, pre-occupied ito sa kaniyang telepono. May mga oras din na kahit sa pastry shop ni B ay napapansin niyang medyo natutulala siya at times.
His meeting with his co-directors and scriptwriter somewhere in Antipolo was almost over. He neede to relay some last minute instructions about his upcoming film so he went over the veranda and tried to contact his secretary.
"Looks familiar."
He noticed a purple Jeep Cherokee parked in front. And yes, he was not mistaken. It has a personalized plate: BDG0922.
She was ushered into this certain private area, in her white maxi dress and expensive sunglasses, she was nonetheless a goddess strutting her way in .
He won't deny. Kinabahan siya bigla. "But what is she doing in here?"
He reached for his phone and tried to call her. She wasn't picking up. He tried again. But still.
His eyes suddenly almost popped out of its socket with what he saw next. Paul Salas was ushered as well to same room where his Barbie is.
What in the world is happening?
His mind ran in circles. His heart beat doubled. His chest tightened, he almost can't breathe. He wanted to confront the both of them. He wanted to shout. He wanted to beat the crap out of him.
He wanted answers.
He wasn't able to say his farewell sa mga ka-meeting niya. He paid the bills and decided to drive back home. He was actually surprised he didn't get into an accident while he was on the road. With all the emotions and questions, his mind and heart wants to explode. When he reached their house, he sat into the sofa and then his mind went blank.
It was 9 in the evening when the front door burst open. He didn't even have to look who came in.
B: Hi love. Kanina ka pa?
She was in her unusual cheery state in weeks.
He ignored her.
B: Pagod ka ba? How's the meeting? Did you close the deal with Star Cinema?
Again. It was an utter silence.
So she decided to give him a break. She went upstairs and took a shower.
She wasn't surprised to him seating on their bed. He was looking forlorn. Then it suddenly hit her.
"Alam niya na."
B: M.. JM...
JM: Sorry B. I was just pre-occupied. How was your day? Pagod ka ba? Kumain ka na? Gusto mo ng masahe? He spoke rapidly.
She slowly walked in front of him. She looked into his eyes. It was lifeless, his eyes glassy. She saw pain. Questions. Regrets. It felt like all the emotions was sucked out of him.
B: JM... Her eyes turned misty as well.
JM: Hmmm? Ano may kailangan ka?.. Sige ako naman ang shower tapos let's take a rest. May meeting ka din bukas with the suppliers di ba?
B: JM.. We need to talk.
JM: Uhmm.. wag na muna tska na lang mas kailangan mo ngayon ang pahinga.
B: JM! Ano ba!
He was frozen in the spot when he heard her shout. They never fought again since the they patched things up right after the JuanBie fancon.
He was always the one who gives in. The always the one who says sorry first. The one who understands. The one forgiving. But things are going rocky for months now. This can't be happening to them especially when months from now, they will officially seal the deal. She will finally be his Mrs. Barbie Imperial- de Guzman soon.
