The General's Wife

We started off as strangers, then we became college sweethearts.

Our relationship was not perfect back then, but we were happy.

Under the old Narra tree of their house, we carved our future.

But what seemed to be a happy future suddenly turned into a nightmare.

Umasa ako na pipiliin niya ako kaysa sa kagustuhan ng kanyang ama.

Akala ko sapat ang pagmamahal niya sa akin upang piliin niya ako.

But I was wrong because while he received many medals of honor, I was left alone, broken, and in pain while I delivered his child. Our child.

Kaya nang isilang ko ang anak namin, ipinangako ko sarili ko na hindi na niya kami makikita muli.

And I will never crawl back to him... and into his bed again.
