EKSAKTONG alas otso nang gabi ng ako'y ihatid pauwi ni Lucas.

"I've got overwork" I chuckled when he drop me outside

"Yeah, you should rest now. See you tomorrow. Goodnight" He said and smiled

"Yes, thankyou. Goodnight din" I said

"Don't forget to tell your daughter that I want to meet her" he daid and enter the car when I nod as an answer

The house was too calm and no noise that can be hear. Too early to this presence of a house. Tulog na siguro si Selene.

Naglakad ako at aking napansin si Adrian na nakaupo sa counter at nay hawak na baso na may lamang alak

"H-Hi" I greeted.

"You should resign now" he suddenly said makes me create a question on my mind.

"What are you talking about?" Sabi ko at kumuha ng tubig sa ref

"Gabi na. Hindi ganyan ang uwi ng ina na may nag aantay na anak at asawa" what was that? Do I have to search it?

Bakit iba ang dating nang meaning ng sinabi nito sakin? Did he wait for me?

"I didn't tell you to wait for me" I said after I drink a water in the glass

"I'm your fvcking husband Xia. What are you expecting?!" He said

"I-I'm sorry?" I said not knowing the right tune I made. Why did I say sorry? I didnt do something bad either.

"Damn! You know that I'm working and overtime is part of my work" I stated

"And seeing you with him? Fvck it!" He said and drink the liquor on the glass straight.

"Ofcourse he's my boss" I stated in a calm voice

"Not just a boss Xia. He even waited for you to come in the morning and he fvcking even take you home." He said

"Hindi ko alam na aantayin nya ako! At isa pa, nagkataon lang yon" I said

"Nagkataon? Really? Why can't you see that he has an intention with you?" He said

"Stop thinking a malicious things Adrian. You're being a childish" I said looking to him intensely.

"And you call me a childish?" He said and a burning eyes. Bakit ba ang tindi ng galit nito?

"There's nothing to jealous about Adrian, at the first place, we're not a loving couple as wife and husband afterall. We're just pretending!" I said and leave him .

"Fine. Kung 'yan ang gusto mo, pagbibigyan kita" pahabol nito

..

I closed my eyes but I saw how hurt he is. I saw how devastated he is. Jealousy is written all over his face. Why is he acting like that?

Alas dyes na ng gabi at di ako makatulog. Napagpasyahan kong lumabas at magtungo sa kwarto ni Selene

But I was surprised when I open the door. Adrian is sleeping bssides Selene. I feel something ache on my heart. They look worried. Gusto kong lumapit pero di ko nagawa. They look good hugging each other.

I can't help asking myself If I still have to fight for this or much better to give up. Why I feel like I'm being a bad person, a mother and a wife for them. Why I feel this kind of strange feeling.

I closed the door and enter our room. Our room was big for me to sleep here alone. Why do I have to feel alone right now? Bakit pakiramdam ko nag-iisa ako? Ano bang nangyari at nagawa ko? Bakit pakiramdam ko wala akong kasama sa buhay na to?
