The harsh sunlight peeked through the curtains of the french door and hit my face. Naningkit ang mata ko at kinapa ang kama, only to find the space beside me empty.
"An?" I called out. "Anrie?" The whole house was quiet.
Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Kinuha ko ang tuwalya mula sa bathroom at itinapis ito saka nagtungo sa kusina.
I brushed my hair with my hands. She's just so frustrating.
Gawain na ba talaga niya ang paglalayas? Not even a word or a note. She just slides off like nothing happened. It's like a casual fuck, a one night stand.
She just disappears into thin air and that's it.
Ganitong ganito rin ang nangyari matapos ang kasal ni Jennifer. She left the room while I was out to get us breakfast. Umasa akong makakapag-usap kami nang maayos.
Andun na kami eh! We were already civil during the wedding!
Fuck! We even had sex! Pero parang wala siyang maalala. She was too drunk to even remember anything at kahit ngayon ay hindi niya ako tinatanong.
Nakalimutan ba niya na may nangyari sa amin o sadyang ayaw niya lang balikan? O baka hindi niya ako nakilala sa sobrang kalasingan?
But if she knew it was me, it meant she cheated on Raven.
Nang hinabol ko siya sa States ilang buwan matapos ang kasal ni Jennifer, she was pregnant. I saw red. She married someone else. How could she do it? Nakipag-sex siya sa akin pero nagpakasal siya sa iba, sa lalaking malamang ay pinagtaksilan niya.
I was so heartbroken when I found out she was pregnant but then we also did the deed.
That kid might even be mine! Ginawa ko ang lahat ng paraan para maghalungkat tungkol sa dinadala niya. I hired an investigator and even spied on her. Palihim kong ipinakuha ang mga medical records niya sa pag-asang baka sakin ang ipinagbubuntis niya.
How I wish he was.
Every paper trail said the same thing: she was pregnant before coming back to Norway.
Sasabog na ang utak ko sa pag-iisip.
I was a willing substitute, hindi ko yun pinagkakaila. She never removed her wedding ring last night. She moaned her endearment for him, and not for me.
Pakiramdam ko sinusuntok ako nang paulit-ulit sa dibdib sa sobrang pagsisisi. Kung hindi dahil sa kagagawan ko, hindi siya mawawala sa akin at hindi siya magmamahal ng iba. Hindi sana ako pinalitan ni Raven.
It hurts as fuck hearing her call out to her dead husband even in her sleep samantalang ako ang kasama niya sa kama at nakayakap sa kanya.
I wore my clothes from last night and fixed the sheets, reminiscing the steamy evening with Anrie which was enough to wake my manhood again.
"Damn you. Bakit ba ambilis mong tumayo pagdating kay An?" I talked to my manhood as if it was another human being.
I need an icy shower.

Nilingon ko ang wall clock at nainis nang makita kong alas dos pa lang ng tanghali. Ambagal ng oras! I've done two surgeries now, one minor and one major from 6:40 am.
