1: The Menace

Asmara's POV

"Mara! Let's go, malapit na ang time! Dali!" my mind came back when a loud voice called, she's Allena Lopez - my classmate in Bio. She wants to be a science teacher.

"I miss my husband, Lena!" I cried nonchantly.

I am married at 18 years-old. Fix-marriages. My family was invited to a party then I didn't know it was actually for me, for my engagement party.

I tried to rebelled, And I tell you, it exhausts me. So, instead, I decided to divert my attention to my studies, I don't know which way I should go, so when I didn't find the course interesting, I definitely dropped those.

Seven years flew so fast.

Imagine, I keep studying over and over again. Though I also keep trying to avoid my husband, documents says it all. I am Asmara Tañala-Moldavar.

My parents keep nagging for a grandchildren, keep talking that I must quit studying coz my husband could provide for our family.

But, they have no say. I got a support from my long-timed crush and can't believe for seven years that he's now mine, my husband - Zirohi Moldavar.

"Hey, are you day-dreaming again that you'll get pregnant by your hunk husband?" Lena chuckled.

"Whatever you say, he's my husband, we can even do that everyday!" I shouted out for annoyance, brought the attention of crowd around us.

Including....,,my husband, standing there.

"Uhmm..." I can't even utter a word.

Pinandilatan ko si Lena, she didn't mentioned it.

He's going to think I was really day-dreaming even though I am not!

He's just there, watching carefully my moves, though can't move much.

I guess,"H-hindi na ako papasok, I'll go Lena." I kissed her cheek and walk another way where he's nowhere to be found.

He left me!

And now he's back?!

Baliw na yata siya!!!

Hindi ko mapigilan ang mga luha ko, nakakainis. Yung mga nakakasalubong ko napapatingin sa akin, sabihin nila, may umaway sa akin!

The hell, I'll look like a child!

I kept walking, I even do walking and running in same time coz I know he's following me.

I don't know what to do, but to run away!

Hinigit niya ang aking braso at pinagsaklop ang aming daliri, he even hugged me tight, I froze and my tears kept falling.

"Running again, babe?" he whispered.

I missed his voice so much!

"Y-you left me...alone..." I said carefully.

He hugged me tighter this time,"Thought you don't wanna see me, I leave because you asked to, yet I came back, you here crying in my arms, I miss you, too, anyway."

I was about to say something when there's a voice, I bet we both heared.

"Two students, reporting PDA, in front of my office, Mr. and Mrs. Moldavar..." Prof. Kinshasa - the member of BOD.

Kumalas ako sa kanya kahit wala siyang balak na gawin 'yun, iba ang usapan pag nasa sakop kami ng campus.

Teka, ano ulit sabi niya?

Mr. and Mrs. Moldavar?

Woaaah, I think I'll go crazy!

Tiningnan ko si Ziro, tamad na tamad siya sa buhay niya. Buti pa siya. Nahagip naman niya ang aking mata na nakatingin sa kaniya kaya agad naman akong umiwas.
