CALINA EMBER SLOANE'S POV

"Is there a problem son? Is something bothering you?" Mommy Celestina asked my husband. Perhaps she is also surprised by the frequent taking of her son's cellphone from his pocket as if waiting for someone's reply.

I had no reaction, I just watched them. I saw my husband shaking his head in response. I smiled bitterly because I knew the reason why he was acting like that. From the mansion to here, he's been like that. Basically he's waiting for his mistress reply.

Later on, I saw his mistress name appeared on his phone screen. "Mom, I need to answer this it's an emergency." He said and walk away to answer the call.

"Maiwan muna kita iha." Mommy Celestina said,

Hindi ko na nagawa pang pansinin si mommy Celestina, dahil mabilis kong sinundan ang asawa ko.

I clenched my fist because of annoyance. I can't help but be jealous of Hanna because no matter what I do, I just can't surpass her when it comes to my husband. The way he talk to her over the phone, his genuine smile, and the way he laughed to her. I'm ivy, I'm freaking ivy with her.

"Sinusundan mo ba ako?" He coldly asked while rising his right eyebrow.

"Ano ba sa tingin mo? Obvious naman nasa harapan mo na ako. And the answer for your question... of course. Wala na ba akong karapatang sundan ang asawa ko." I sarcastically said and crossed my both arms without breaking my sight at him.

"Tsk."

"Get lost, whore. I'm busy." He casually said,

Akmang sasagutin niya ang tawag ng bigla kong tabigin ang kanang kamay nito. "The hell!"

"Don't you dare to answer that fucking call, hubby. Hindi pa ba sapat sa'yo na pumayag akong makipagkita ka araw-araw sa babaeng 'yon? Respeto naman, Clovious. Kasal ka sa'kin. Mag-asawa tayo." Hindi ko mapigilang apila ko sa kanya.

Halos mabingi ako sa lakas ng pagkakasampal nito sa akin. "How dare you!"

"Respect you? He sarcastically laughed,

"Naiintindihan mo ba ang sinabi mo? How could I respect a someone who already ruined my entire life, huh? Ilang beses akong nagmakaawa sayo, ilang beses akong lumuhod sa harap mo noong araw na 'yon. Respect you? You're insanely naive, bitch. Bakit nirespeto mo rin ba ang pagkamatay ng pinsan mo? Ilang beses akong humingi ng araw para lang sana mabigyan siya ng maayos na lamay at libing. Pero anong ginawa mo? You fucking forced me to marry you on the day of your cousin's death. Sa tingin mo, dapat ba kitang respetuhin sa lahat ng ginawa mo sa'kin? Karespe-respeto ka ba?!" Tila nabingi ako sa binitawan niyang iyon.

"Before saying that particular word, bitch. Alamin mo muna kung bagay nga ba sa'yo ang salitang 'yon. Wag kang bobo." He said ang walk away from me.

Hindi ako makapag-react. Tama siya. I forced him in this kind of marriage on the day of ate Salina's death. Pinilit kong itali sa isang walang kabuluhang kasal na 'to ang lalaking una pa lang ay mahal ng iba. Halos mabuwal ako sa akin kinatatayuan, dahil alam ko kung gaano siya nasaktan sa pagsira ko sa buhay niya.

Pero ginawa ko lang naman 'yon dahil kailangan. Hindi para sa sarili ko. Selfish? Pero may dahilan. Kailangan kong maging ganito para sa kapakanan ng isang taong kailangan kong protektahan. Kinailangan kong maging ganid para sa kapakanan niya.

"May dahilan ang lahat kaya kaunting tiis pa, Clovious. Kapag dumating na yung panahon na okay na ang lahat. Palalayain kita. Pangako." I whispered in the air while staring him walk away from me.
