"Are you still going out with Pia?"

"No," sagot ni Davide sa tanong ni Zauro. Magkakasama silang magkakaibigan sa Macau para sa karera ng sasakyan. Nasa bleachers sila. They all loved car races. Busy din silang lahat nitong huli kaya ngayon lang nagkasama-sama. Nagkataon na nakita rin niya si Pia sa okasyon, siguro ay dahil mayroon itong ini-endorse na produkto. May ilang ads na ginawa ang babae na ipinapalabas sa buong Asia.

Davide used to go out with Pia. Malaki ang naitulong niya sa career ng babae. Nagsimula ito sa industriya dahil na rin sa kanya. They went out for two years, nothing official though. Alam ng babae mula't sapul kung ano lang ang kaya niyang ibigay at wala itong naging problema doon.

"Good. Because you're married," ani Tranquilino.

Mapakla siyang tumawa. "Right." Married. Matatawa siguro siya kung hindi lang may bahagi niya ang nalulungkot at naiinis sa pinasok na sitwasyon. He believed that his marriage was doomed. Well, it had always been but he thought it would not have been this bad.

Noong gabi ng honeymoon nila ni Aguida ay naisip niyang baka mayroon silang pag-asang mag-asawa. For a second there, he even considered the concept of a real marriage that needed loyalty, trust, faithfulness, and all those ridiculous fantasies. Pero mabilis na ipinaalala ni Aguida na nagpapantasya siya, nangangarap nang gising.

His whole marriage was a sham. Sa tuwing naaalala niya ang mga sinabi ni Aguida ay naiinis pa rin siya. Hindi niya matanggap ang akusasyon nitong sinamantala niya ang kalasingan ng babae. That hurt his ego. Siguro sa isang banda ay naitanong niya rin sa sarili kung talaga bang mali siya dahil iyon na rin ang naiisip niya noong gabing iyon. Maybe he should've waited for her to sober down before proceeding.

Hindi natapos sa pag-aakusa si Aguida, gumawa pa ito ng kasulatan. It was the most ridiculous thing he had ever read. Kulang na lang ay magwelga ang babae sa bahay nila para iprotesta ang sex. No sex, no kissing on the lips! Was he that disgusting? Sa totoo lang, walang idea si Aguida kung paano nito tinapak-tapakan ang ego niya.

He guessed, all in all, what they currently had was the best he can hope for after everything they had said and done. At least they were no longer fighting because fighting with Aguida can be a real pain. That woman brought out the worst in him. Napakatapang din ng babae na para bang hindi nakikita ang pisikal nitong kahinaan laban sa kanya. Not that he will ever hurt her physically, but it made him think that she might get in trouble one day for being that stubborn. Paano na lang kung matapat ito sa isang lalaking mas malaki dito, sira-ulo, walang control at ganoon ang maging attitude ng babae? She will definitely get in trouble.

"How's married life anyway?" tanong ni Fergus.

"And this is the best place to talk about that, huh?" sarkastiko niyang sabi.

"That bad, huh?"

"I just don't think this is the time and place to talk about my life. Why don't we talk about something else?"

"Calm down—"

"I am calm. I just don't talk about my life right now." Kung bakit mainit na agad ang kanyang ulo. Ngayon din lang niya naranasan ang ganitong pakiramdam, ayaw niyang ikuwento sa mga kaibigan ang lahat. How the hell can he tell them about his wife without making her look bad?

"Fine. I guess honeymoon is over."

"I doubt it even began," si Zauro.

"Oh, will you please just—"

"I'm kidding!" Tumawa ang lalaki. "Ang init naman masyado ng ulo mo, pare. Look, the race is starting. After this, we'll get some beer."

Tumango na lang siya kahit parang mas gustong umuwi na sa Pilipinas. Kahapon pa ganoon ang naiisip niya at siguro ay umuwi na siya kung hindi lang naisip na kailangan niyang aliwin ang sarili. It was what he had been trying to do for the past several weekends. Kapag nasa bahay siya ay wala naman siyang kausap. Several times he wanted to talk to Aguida but she was always by herself, studying. Paano siya magbubukas ng usapan?

That's right, the man who can spend hours with ladies had nothing to say to his own wife. Ni hindi niya alam kung ano ang tamang sabihin sa babae na hindi pagmumulan ng away. Kung minsan, gusto niyang maulit ang usapan nila noong naabutan niya itong nag-aaral madaling araw sa kusina pero paano niya gagawin kung palaging nakakulong sa kuwarto ang babae?

The best thing to do was to get out of the house. At least his sanity will be intact. Kaysa naman nasa loob siya ng bahay na wala nang inisip kung paano kakausapin ang isang taong halatang ayaw naman siyang kausap. So he guessed this was all for the good, that they were barely speaking to each other rather than fighting. May hinala siyang kapag nagtagal ang kanilang pag-uusap ay mauuwi at mauuwi sila sa pag-aaway. With Aguida, he easily lost his patience. Sa palagay niya ay ganoon din ang babae sa kanya dahil ang sabi naman ng mga kasambahay ay matiyaga daw ito. Ang bida sa kanya ng kasambahay, kung minsan daw ay maghapong nakikinig sa kung audio book ang babae habang naghihimay ng patani, kundi man ay malunggay. Kung ano ang ihinaba ng pasensiya nito sa gulay, siyang ikinaiksi sa kanya.

Worst of all, he craved for her. Everything about her—her smile, her scent, her body. He had to admit he was having blue balls all the time because the only woman he wanted wrote an agreement stating that they will never ever have sex. Lalo lang naging tukso sa kanya ang asawa. If she only knew that he can probably have any woman he wanted, would she change her mind?

Ano din ang inaayaw nito sa kanya kung alam naman nilang pareho na nag-enjoy ito nang husto? She can't possibly lie about that. He knew. He was sure she came over and over. Her contractions wouldn't lie.

God, just remembering Aguida's body on his was enough to make him hard.
