A couple who experienced rough patches in their relationship.

"Alice, kailangan nating mag-usap." sabi niya matapos ang ilang minutong katahimikan. Hindi ko alam kung paano ang apat na salitang ito ay kayang sirain ang buhay at pangarap ng isang tao-hanggang ngayon. Tahimik akong tumango, hudyat na magpatuloy siya. "I don't want this marriage. Hindi kita mahal at sa tingin ko, hindi kita kailanman kayang mahalin because I love someone else." "Pinakasalan kita dahil sinabi ng ama ko na kung gagawin ko ito, saka lang siya bababa sa pagiging CEO. Kaya ginawa ko ang sinabi niya. Ang kasal na ito ay wala nang halaga sa akin kundi isang kasunduan sa negosyo." "Alice, narinig na kita noong high school at napansin na rin kita. Hindi mo deserve ang ganito. Masyado kang mabuti at masyadong mabait para sa akin. Kaya't pakiusap, huwag kang umasa ng kahit ano mula sa akin bilang asawa." "Oo, maaari mong ipagmalaki ang apelyido mong Hontiveros at gawin ang kahit anong nais mo, pero tayo ay dalawang estranghero lamang na nakagapos sa isang kasal. Nakatali ako rito sa loob ng isang taon. Pagkatapos noon, papalayain kita at ang sarili ko na may malaking kabayaran, at maaari mo nang ipagpatuloy ang buhay mo ayon sa gusto mo." Ang mga salitang iyan ang siyang sumaksak sa dibdib ko. Masakit ngunit kailangan kung tanggapin. Pero natatakot ako, dahil kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi ko talaga matanggap tanggap na ang pinaka mamahal kong tao sa balat ng lupa na si Theresia Risa Hontiveros ay may ibang gustong pakasalan at kilalang kilala ko ang babaeng gusto niyang makasama habang buhay. Would I survive? Na manatili sa taong hindi ako kayang mahalin ngunit kaya naman akong pakasalan? ABANGAN!
