My Antagonist Wife *completed*

Fourty Four

"Hindi ako dito magdidinner." His big announcement after having our breakfast.

The next few days were odd. He was barely talking and it was really awkward between us. And knowing the new me, my pride was my most precious possession. Hihintayin ko na lang na kausapin niya ako, because that's me now. Hindi na ako ang dating Jac na kukulitin siya at susuyuin. And besides, I was just voicing out my feelings. He was waiting for an answer so I gave him one.

"Okay." Ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagliligpit ng pinagkainan namin.

"I'l get going." Hindi ko siya sinagot. I am so pissed to even answer.

Naglinis ako ng bahay at nagdilig ng halaman. Sobrang wala akong magawa right now. Sumalampak ako sa couch at nag-scan ng channels sa tv. Sobrang laki ng pasasalamat ko ng mag-ring ang phone ko.

"My God, Lars. Let's go out later this evening." Natawa siya sa bungad ko sa kanya.

"Sana pinag-hello mo man lang ako, Maj." Narinig ko rin ang tawa ni Pris sa background.

"Where's Jerod?!" Rinig na rinig ang boses ni Pris kahit nasa malayo siya.

"Office. It's fuckin' friday. And don't even ask me about him. I am so pissed at him right now!" Umirap ako sa kisame habang sinusuntok ang throw pillow namin.

"Grabe naman pala magtampo si Hubby mo!" Pang-aasar ni Pris.

"Fuck you, Pris. Basta labas tayo later okay? Girls night out! Besides, Gregory and Shaun aren't still here. Papayagan naman kayo ng mga 'yon. Ako ang kasama niyo, e!" Naimagine ko ang pag-irap nilang dalawa.

"They're more nervous when we're with you." Sabay silang tumawa.

"Wala akong pake. We'll go out later. Nauumay na'ko sa bahay namin. One more day inside this house and I'd be able to walk around here with eyes closed!" Tinawanan lang nila akong dalawa and in the end ay pumayag sila.

Natulog lang ako hanggang six pm dahil wala naman na talaga akong magawa. If only Thereeze was here. Kaso wala. Dahil sa'kin nawala siya. Siguro sa Sunday I would visit her. Namimiss ko na rin kasi silang dalawa ni Jill.

Nakareceive ako ng text mula kay Lara. I think the odds are with us because she just found out about a bar around their vicinity. Sawa na rin naman ako sa Getto at Dj's corner. Might as well try new ones.

Bumangon na ako and prep myself. Ayaw kong malate tonight, dahil syempre ako ang nag-aya. Parang nakakahiya naman na ako pa ang malelate. And in all fairness naman with me, ang bilis ko kumilos ngayon. Maybe I'm just too excited 'cause matagal tagal na rin akong hindi nagba-bar kasama sila Pris. I don't even remember when was the last time that we girls hanged out all by ourselves.

It's either Shaun was present, or Greg was or we just watch Netflix if Greg and Shaun (or either of the two) can't make it. Ayaw pa akong diretsahin ng dalawang ugok na wala silang tiwala kung ako ang kasama ng dalawa. Well, I can't blame them. I always get into cat fights whenever I'm drunk, which always happens 'cause I'm always drunk when I'm with them.

"Grabe! Ikaw ang nag-aya, ikaw pa ang nalate! When will you ever change, bitch?" Tawang tawa ako sa itsura niya.

"Pris, you're too emotional. Stop it. What's important is I didn't ditch the two of you." Umupo ako sa tabi ni Lara.

"Alright, I know what you're thinking." Lara looked at me with brows shot up. "We got you a couch in case you get drunk. And please, no kissing with committed boys!" I shrugged.

"They won't flirt if they're committed tho." Which is totoo naman. If you hook up with someone at the bar knowing na you're in a relationship, then you aren't committed at all.
