"Punta na ako." Walang lingon-likod na sinabi ng asawa ko.
"Kumain ka mu-" Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil sinarado nya ng malakas ang pinto.
Nothing's new. Araw-araw ganyan ang nangyayari samin. I always wake up early para paghandaan sya ng umagahan, but he always refuse to eat at home. Hindi lingid sa kaalaman ko na may dahilan kung bakit sya ganon umasta, but I'm hoping na mali yung iniisip ko.
I dialed my friend's number, Angel, but she wasn't answering. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero may nagtutulak sakin na puntahan si Angel. I tried calling her once again, but she was still not answering.
Nagmadali akong sumakay sa kotse ko at mabilis na nagmaneho papunta sa bahay ni Angel. Mabilis akong nakarating at mabilis din akong nakapag-park. I didn't even bother to shout her name because the gate wasn't locked, even her front door wasn't locked. Hayss, babaeng yun talaga.
Dire-diretso akong pumasok at naglakad papunta sa kwarto nya. Pabilis ng pabilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Nang nasa tapat na ako ng pintuan ay may naririnig ako na parang... ungol?
"Ohhhh... Arthur, sige pa... Ughhh..."
"Fuck, ang sarap mo Angel, mas masarap ka pa kaysa sa asawa ko."
I'm not that stupid to know what they're doing.
"Hiwalayan mo na kasi sya."
"I'm working on it."
Doon ko lang napansin na may mga luha na palang lumalabas sa mga mata ko. I left Angel's house without making a sound. Doon lko lang din napansin na naka park yung kotse ni Arthur sa garahe ni Angel.
Ilang linggo na ang nakalipas mula sa tagpong iyon at mas lalong lumamig ang pakikitungo sakin ni Arthur. Hindi parin sya kumakain sa bahay.
One night, Arthur was sleeping peacefully beside me. I couldn't even call him my husband. I couldn't believe that I married this asshole. And I couldn't believe that I got friends with Angel.
I pointed the knife directly at his heart and stabbed him. I stabbed him multiple time to makes sure that he's dead. I pulled Arthur papunta sa kitchen, then I made Angel' favorite dish, adobo.
Using Arthur's phone, I messaged her "I'm not going there tomorrow, because Heart is going there"
Kinaumagahan ay sumakay ako sa kotse at pumunta sa bahay ni Angel. I shouted her name because the gate is locked.
"Heart." She said smilingly. Oh, that smile would disappear soon.
"Can I come in? I bought your favorite dish" She opened the gate enough for me to enter.
Angel is eating the dish I made just for her.
"Masarap ba?" I asked sweetly.
She nod. "Masarap nga."
"Good, I made it just for you. But, mas masarap ba yan kaysa kay Arthur?" Bigla syang napatigil sa pagkain.
"What do you mean?" Takang tanong nya.
"That's adobong Arthur. It's made out of Arthur's flesh." I smiled evilly " Sa tingin nyo hindi ko alam kung anong ginagawa nyo habang nakatalikod ako? Akala nyo bang indi ko alam na pinaglolokohan nyo lang ako? Hindi ako ipinanganak kahapon Angel!" I screamed and pulled out the knife I used to kill Arthur.
"H-heart..." Without thinking twice, I stabbed her in the heart, and just like what what I did to Arthur, I stabbed her multiple times.
Sinadya kong si Arthur ang patayin at ipakain kay Angel because I know that he wouldn't eat at home. Yes, Angel ate Arthur's flesh, and I don't regret doing it.
