Masaya kayong mag-asawa, you travelled the world. You smiled as you remembered how she shout her love for you sa itaas ng Empire state building.

"Y/N, I just want you to know, under sa lahat ng stars and galaxy! I LOVE YOU!" She shouted and smiled at you. You smiled at her too, "Janine Patricia Robredo, I love you too." Ito ang unang pagkakataon na ibinalik mo rin sa kaniya ang pagmamahal niya.

-

You always cooked breakfast for her kasi ang luto mo ang paborito niya, she gave you flowers and time kahit na sobrang hectic ng schedules nito sa trabaho.

Tanong mo, "Wala lang, I bought that kasi naalala ko ang asawa ko, hehe!" She answered. "Aysus! Nagpapalakas ka yata sa'kin eh." Sambit mo.

Umiling ito, She answered, you smiled at her gestures, She continued at naluha ka naman.

You never had someone to treat you this way, so much respect, boundaries, lahat ng green flag na sa kaniya na.

Hinalikan mo naman si Tricia and thanked her, "Lam mo love? I'm really maswerte sa'yo. Mahal na mahal kita." You spoke with sincerity.

She spoke with admiration sa'yo. "More things to do and spend with you. And of course, my love won't change for you." Banat nito sa iyo.

"Love, tama na 'yan." You said as she was still typing sa laptop niya.

Nang makalapit ka ay sinara niya ito kaagad, alalay niya sa iyo.

"Love, you know I don't like sinungaling." You said, nilingon ka naman niya at pinakita ang gawa niyang reports ng ospital. Sambit niya.

Tumango ka naman, "Huh? Gumawa ka na ng ganito kahapon ah?" Tanong mo at nagulat naman siya, She said as she tried to remember.

Tumango ka na lang at sabay na kayong natulog.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you like those people did to you sa school niyo noon." She assured you kaya you smiled at her gesture.

-

It was frequemt na you kept on hearing a starting car, 'Huh? Umalis nanaman siya? It's 2 in the morning, she has no duty nor palengke at this time, sinasama niya naman ako.'

Nakalimutan ni Tricia ang cellphone niya sa gilid.

Tunog ito ng tunog, 'yung notif naka-lock. You knew na you shouldn't peep around but natatakot ka na baka she may be cheating on you despite na may trust ka sa kaniya.

You decided not to check on her phone na lang, there was this certain beep, you saw an address. It read,

'Shems! Baka patayin siya roon!' Dali-dali kang kumuha ng jacket, with your car key.

"Please be safe, love. Ayaw ko pang iwanan mo ako." Pag-aalala mo.

Nag-drive ka patungo sa address na iyon. Kumunot-noo mo.

Pumasok ka, "Ma'am ano po reserve nila?" Tanong ng ate, 'Buti walang diskriminasyon sa kung ano suot dito.' Buntong hininga mo.

"Ahm, Aries po." Hula mo. Kumunot noo mo as you nodded, "Lagi siya rito?" Bulong mo sa sarili.

Andami niyong pinasukan na pinto, hanggang sa marating niyo ng isang hallway. Iniwan ka niya, You furrowed your brows.

May nakita ka namang ilaw na sumisilip sa gitna. You overheard two voices, you recognized Tricia's.

I did what you ordered pero hindi ba masasaktan apo mo po?" You heard Tricia ask. "Huh, sinong apo?" You furrowed your brows.

"Y/N loves you, she won't leave you." Sambit ng matandang boses.

"Lolo?"

"Na-guguilty na po kasi ako, I know that she loves me too pero will I really love her and would she still love me po nang malaman niyang wala naman talaga nangyari sa'min? Na for business lang sana lahat?" She asked, naluha ka naman.

You were shocked and angry, para kasi sa'yo, ang taong makakatalik mo'y makakasama mo habang buhay. Tradisyon iyon ng pamilya mo.

Kaya ka rin ipinakasal kay Janine dahil nang malaman itong magulang mo ay kailangan naayon sa tradisyon.

"All my love was for you to betray me like that?!" You screamed as you barged in.

Saad ng lolo mo. "Pinagkaisahan niyo 'ko! You took advantage of me! Para sa ano?! Business?!" Sigaw mo.

Pagmamakaawa ni Tricia.

"K-Kailan pa?! Kung kailan may pamilya na?! Ha?!" You were fuming as you shouted.

Hagulgol mo habang sumisigaw.

Pilit kang niyayakap, masikip ang dibdib mo, libo-libong karayom ang nararamdaman mong tumutusok sa puso mo.

"Y-You're not the Tricia I know, s-she wouldn't lie to me. YOU LOLO! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" Duro mo sa kanila.

Tinulak mo si Tricia, "Love, please huwag gan'to, huwag mo ako iwanan." She said, begging.

Umiling ka at nagtungo ng bahay niyo.

Wala ka namang mapupuntahan dahil ang pera mo'y ipapang-blackmail ng nanay mo, you had nothing.

Not even Tricia, akala mong kakampi, plinano pala nila lahat.

Tapon mo sa mga gamit, you felt so used.

Ang katawan mo'y nanghihina dahil ginawa niya. "WHY OUT OF PEOPLE?! BAKIT SIYA PA?!" You shouted as your cries banged through the walls.

Nanghihina na ang loob mo, "H-Hindi naman ganito noon ah? Why hurt me like this?!" Iyak mo at paghahampas mo sa lampara.

"BUSINESS LANG BA TALAGA AKO?!" Hagis mo sa mga unan sa kung saan-saan. Binuksan ni Tricia ang pinto, "Love, h-hindi ka business, mahal kita, please b-believe me!" She cried out to you.

"NO! KUNG MAHAL MO AKO BAKIT MO AKO NILOKO?! WHY? BAKIT IKAW PA?! I REALLY WISH I NEVER MET YOU!"

Iyak mo at hampas sa dibdib ng mahal mong pilit ka niyayakap. "ETO? BUSINESS LANG?" Turo mo sa mga imaheng masasaya kayong dalawa ngunit alaala na lang at hindi maibalik.

Umiiling si Tricia, "N-No, I really love you, totoo 'yon." She answered while crying.

"Then bakit? Ano bang mali ko to be betrayed l-like this?! 2 YEARS TRICIA!" Iyak mo at umiiwas sa yakap ng asawa mo.

"N-No, wala ka mali, love... It was ally my fault.." Iyak din ni Tricia at hinalikan ka. You pushed her away, "Akala ko iba ka, akala ko ikaw na! Suffer the consequences." You angrily said.

-

"Y-Y/N, I bought you your favorite flowers." Kinakabahang panunuyo ni Tricia ngunit isinawalang bahala mo ito.

Dere-deretso kang naglakad nang lasing papunta sa kwarto. "Niloko niya ako, Julian! I've loved her! T-Tapos ano ako? Ginawang puhunan ng n-negosyo?!" You cried in your sleep.

Sumunod naman si Tricia at narinig iyon, she doesn't know how to deal with you, she made a mistake, big time. Iyak mo ng malakas.

"S-She made me complete pero siya rin ang w-wumakas!" Iyak mo ulit. All Tricia could utter was sorry.

Isang buwan ang nakalipas..

She offered you your favorite but since mataas ang pride mo't galit ka pa rin you decided to ignore her.

Sambit mo at lumabas na ng bahay. You hailed a taxi and went to a mall.

Napa-buntong hininga naman si Tricia, She said as she went upstairs and wrote a journal.

After she wrote journal ay nagsimula na ang asawa mong magtrabaho.

"Where are you, love?" She texted you, it hurt her when you only gave her a seen.

Ang dating puno ng text niyo sa isa't-isa na puro pagmamahalan ay tila nabaliktad, sobrang lamig. Si Tricia lamang ang panay text, tipid ka naman kung magreply.

"All your fault, pagsisihan mo 'yan. Binalaan ka na nila Ate Aiks noon." Tricia said as she massaged her head.

Gulo ni Tricia sa sariling buhok, nauurat ay tumayo ito.

"Tangina! Nasaan ba listahan ko?!" Takang tanong niya, 'Your fault, wala ka ng asawa na mag-reremind.' The Doctor thought.

Nag-text ka naman sa asawa mo na may ginawa kang listahan sa ref.

You weren't that selfish, you were hurt and angry. May parte sa'yong mahal pa rin siya.

Love💓

Where are you, love?

Don't call me that.

Pero ikaw mahal ko

Seen by Love💓

Napa-buntong hininga muli si Tricia. "I guess you really are true to your words, pagsisihan ko lahat." She uttered while leaning at her swivel chair.

-

Tricia was disappointed as her plan to take you back had failed, she saw you with Reiner, your ex.

"Y/N?"

"Oh bakit?" Pagtataray nito sa'yo. The doctor had asked, Malamig na pakikitungo mo.

Nasaktan naman si Tricia, "Pero paano 'yung plans natin?" She tried to stop you. Rolyo mo ng mga mata.

As soon as you left Tricia cried inside your room, punong-puno ng pagsisi.

She said, "I d-didn't mean to hurt you.." She uttered habang humahagulgol.

"I-I'm sorry please, sabihin mo lang kung ayaw mo na, ako na m-mismo lalayo, I'll leave you be." Iyak ni Tricia hanggang sa pagtulog.

Dahil bumalik ka at may nakalimutan ay narinig mo ito.

Hindi mo alam kung papaniwalaan mong nagsisi na siya. Napapansin mong umiiyak ito sa pagkatulog, binuksan mo ang pinto at pumasok sa kwarto.

Ang natutulog na Tricia ay pinunasan mo ang kaniyang luha, may kirot sa damdamin mo. "What happened to us?" Iyak mo at umalis na ng kwarto.

Ang akala mong tulog mong asawa ay gising, she heard you. Tricia said as she smiled.

-

Nakita ka nanaman ulit ni Tricia na may kasamang iba. Lapit niya sa iyo at ang nagawa mo lamang ay umirap.

"You're really not coming back?" She asked you as she smiled painfully and tried to hold your hand, "Stop..touching me, nanlalambot ako please!" So many unspoken words, iba ang interpretation.

"Okay," She smiled and walked away at nalaglag naman ang puso mo. You wanted that.
