Kiera's POV

Nandito ako ngayon sa kwarto ko. Humuhuni ng kahit anong kanta, habang hinihintay ang reply ni Zian.

'Hubby, busy ka?' Mensahe ko limang minuto na ang nakakaraan. Wala akong kahit na anong reply na natanggap, kahit seen man lang.

Muntik na kong mahulog sa higaan ko ng biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko. Mabilis ko itong kinuha mula sa bedside table, at binuksan ang reply niya ng may ngiti sa labi.

'Yeah, chat you later.'

I was disappointed with his abrupt reply. Agad na nabura ang ngiti ko sa labi. Hindi ko alam kung ako lang o talagang cold na siya sakin.

Pero hindi. Hindi dapat ako nagiisip ng ganito. Busy lang talaga siguro siya.

'Sige, hubby. Out muna ako. I love you!' Mensahe ko ulit, umaasa na tumugon siya agad. At di naman ako nabigo, ng makita kong nagreply siya;

'Okay.'

Busy nga siguro.

After I logged out from my account, binuksan ko yung sa kanya.

Yep. I have access to his account, but this is the very first time that I will use it. After three years in our relationship. Why? Because I trust him.

Naghintay akong magload, tsaka nagscroll nang nagscroll sa account niya. I didn't bother to open his messages. Wala naman akong mapapala don.

Ilang minuto na kong nagscroll, at patuloy na may nagpapop na message. The worse thing is, nababasa ko kaagad siya.

Napagdesisyunan ko na buksan yung messages niya. I don't even know why I wasn't surprised to see that he's been messaging my bestfriend, Jade. Maybe dahil alam kong friends lang sila.

Hinintay ko muna na mabukas yung Messenger, bago ko pindutin ang convo nila. I can't help it. My curiosity is killing me. Hindi ko alam na close pala sila, base sa convo nila.

I thought he was busy? Is he busy talking to my bestfriend, kaya hindi niya magawang magreply sa chat ko?

No. Impossible. Scratch that Kiera. Wag kang mag isip ng kung ano-ano.

I waited for him to reply at my friend's message, though I wish I did not. Only to see the words that he used to say to me.

Fuck it! What the hell is happening?

Patuloy kong binasa ang convo nila, hanggang sa magpaalam na si Jade para matulog. Tutal nandito na din naman ako, naisipan kong basahin ang dati pa nilang mga message.

I know how to respect people's privacy, but as his girlfriend, I have the rights to do this.

Di ko napansin na nangingilid na ang luha ko, and isang patak ay nasundan ng iba pa. Hanggang sa humahagulgol na ko.

I've seen enough. I decided to log out his account, then went back to mine. I didn't think twice, but to immediately message him;

'Still busy?' I inquired.

Alam ko na ang lahat. Di na niya kailangan magsinungaling.

After over ten minutes of waiting for his excuse, he replied, 'Yes, sleep now.'

The last thing I remember, was that I'm lying on my bed, crying myself to sleep.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, but they still kept on messaging each other. Hindi nila alam na lahat ng sinasabi nila sa isa't-isa ay nababasa ko.
