Two weeks later...

True love understands, true love knows sacrifices, true love understands these sacrifices, true love hurts.

So Lawe and I are married for two months already. Time passed by so fast with tidbits of memories to cherish, just like that one time wherein he'd took care of me when I was sick.

"I told you to rest, not dwaddle on your phone"

"I'm just checking if someone message me" I said nonchalantly.

"Check it later when you're fine already. Just rest for a while so you'll get better" he told me while offering me my medicines and a glass of water.

"Thank you for taking care of me. You don't have to do this, I'm not really you're wife the real sense of the word, besides I know that you are a busy person."

"Rest for a bit, you scared me last night when you lost consciousness, it seems like its your favorite hobby. This is the second time that you've lost consciousness and Im the one that carried you" he said while staring at me.

I smiled.

He continued staring at me. Then he'd suddenly shakes his head.

"Don't worry about my work, I employed competitive people to manage it whenever I'm not around, and even if this is just a deal, to the world, you are still my wife. I don't want you thinking that I'm an irresponsible, uncaring, brute husband. Lets cherish this kind of memories, they're the only thing that will be left when we divorced. Let's be good friends even if we're separated, Ches."

I smiled again. I can't believe that Lawe could be sweet sometimes. Why does these statements hurt?  I reprimand myself. This really confusing, I'm gonna ask Karla about it.

"Thank you Lawe, you don't know how much this means to me"

He helped me to lay on the bed. "Get rest. I'll just go outside to buy some foods"

"Sure" I stared at his back, why can't this man fall in love with me? TT_TT, love?? What did I just utter? NO WAY!!!

"What happened Ches? You seem to be down lately? Aren't you happy with Lawe?" Karla asked me. We're in a cafe, drinking tea.

"I am happy Ches. My husband is kind and caring. But I 'll be happier if he'll reciprocate what I feel for him" I answered. We've been married for three months already. Only three months is left in our deal before we'll have our divorce. I don't want too, but how could I say it to him?

"You love him Ches!"

"Yes, I don't know when did it start Karla. What should I do?"

She sighed. "Well, why not try to make your husband fall for you?" she suggested while grinning.

I stared at her for a few seconds. "I don't like the way you're smiling now, are you plotting something? Shame on you Karla"

She laughed. "Silly woman!" She pinch my cheeks.

"Awww Karla, whatever you're thinking forget it!" I spat vehemently.

"Relax Ches, I'm not gonna ask you to do something you don't want" She smiled genuinely.

"Did I tell you how lucky I am Karla to have you as my friend? Life is easier with you" I smiled back.

She laughed. "You don't need to Ches, the feeling is mutual"

"Ahh, let's go shopping Karla?"

"Sure. Ohh, by the way, Ches how's law school?"

"A terrible mistake" I jested.

She poke me. "You've gotta be kidding me. Law studies was everything you ever wanted since I've known you"

"Haha! Kidding sweetheart. I love it as much as I love my husband"

She shooks her head in disbelief.

----------

My wife was late to go home for the first time. I expected her to be here since her class ends at around 8pm, usually she's here at around 9pm and I always go home at around 11pm. Now its almost 12am and she's not around yet. This is a new experience to me and i'm not accustomed to it. I was accustomed in going home to a house where my food  and my sleeping dress is ready. I was accustomed to going home to a house where someone is waiting for me, where when she opens our door she would smile like the sun and light and all the stress of work would vanish. I wanted to see that smile and eyes everyday of my life. I heard the clock chimed signalling that its already 12am. I stand and look outside. There's no sign of her yet. I'm so damn mad now. What if something happened to her? What if she's lying in a hospital bed? God forbid. I shook my head to banish the ugly thought. I went to the wine cellar and pour myself a drink. I had almost drank one bottle of wine when I heard the door opens. I looked at the time. 1:00am. She's dead.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IS IT ALREADY? DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOMEONE CALLED HUSBAND? DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE USE OF YOUR CELLULAR PHONE?" I shouted at her. I cannot control how I feel right now, especially that the wine is sinking in my system.

She backed out. "My God Lawe, do you wanna kill me with a heart attack?" She walked near me.

I laughed. "You don't have an idea how much I'm close to doing that Cheska!" I spat.

She studied me closely. "You're drunk Lawe!"

She hold my hand and I flinched thats why she pulled her hand away. "What's the problem Lawe? Is it about work why you're drunk?"

"Of course its not! I'm mad because I expected you to be here when I arrived!"

She stared at me for a while then something passed in her eyes before her lips curved into a smile.

"Don't even try asuming this means anything! I just hate it that my food is not ready when I arrived! Don't do it ever again! Next time, inform me where you are!" I walk towards our room staggering.

I never saw her sad face when she answered me. "I'm sorry Lawe. I just went out with Karla. My phone is dead that's why I had never informed you in advanced"

"Excuses! Excuses! I'm going to sleep! I still need to wake up early because of work! Thanks to your selfishness I will feel groggy tomorrow!" I shut the door to our room.
