The Meaning of Wife (KimXi Fan Fiction)

Chapter XL - Business As Usual

Tinupad ko ang promise kong mag-u-UD after ng exam ko. So here it is. :D Konteng kembot na lang, matatapos na ang TMOW. Hahaha.

Guys, sa mga nagtatanong. Hindi po ako nagbibigay ng soft copies dahil una sa lahat, tinatamad akong mag-edit ng mga mali. Hahaha. Pangalawa, I consider it as my intangible asset. Choss. At sa mga nangungulit na ipublish ko ito, jusko po! Hindi ako ganu’n kabongga na writer to deserve a published book. Pang-wattpad lang po ako. SALAMAT! <3

XIAN’S POV

“Hanggang ngayon, hindi ka pa rin nagbabago. You’re still the same old asshole na nakilala ko!” Her eyes were filled with anger and dismay.

“Kim, please. Kalimutan na natin ang mga nangyari. Let’s start all over again. Let’s build a family together again. Let’s try to cope up with the years we’re apart. Please Kim, please. Just give me another chance.” Kulang na lang lumuhod ako sa harapan niya. As I look at her, her eyes show how she hates me. I know how stupid I was before and I hate myself for being one.

“Xian, okay na ako. I’m totally fine with the idea of living alone. I have moved on. Kaya sana, ganu’n ka rin. Maybe, we’re really not destined to be together. Maybe, everything was just an immature mistake. Maybe, everything was just a nightmare. Let’s leave it all behind. Hindi ako umuwi rito to patch up holes na pareho nating alam na kailanman, hindi na natin matatagpi ulit. So please… I’m begging you please. I have no time to do a reminiscing session with you.” Again, she started to walk away. The way she takes a step reminds me of the day she ran away. Same with what I did before, I didn’t bother to run over her.

I decided to drive myself home. It would only kill me to see her sharing a smile with someone else. As I was looking at the empty road, I felt sudden disappointment. It took me awhile to realize that I had everything I need and yet, I let go of a diamond while I was too busy picking up worthless stones.

Nang makauwi ako, I stared at the couch where she used to sit and wait for me to come home. Siguro, if things were okay, may bata na sanang tumatakbo-takbo rito. Every now and then, I still feel worst as I try to think about what happened few years ago.

People envy me for the achievements that I gained. All my efforts were paid off. I got the highest position that everyone wants and dies for. I earn a lot, enough to buy a car anytime I wish to. I am being respected for who I am and what I am. I got a big house. I have all the power to influence other people. But then I realized, eto nga ba ang gusto ko? Bakit hindi ako masaya? Bakit parang may kulang?

“Yes, paakyat na ako. Tell the board that I’ll be there in less than five minutes.”

My head feels like breaking. I haven’t slept last night due to over-thinking. Over-thinking about my marriage and about how can I save the company. By the way I look at it, mukhang masaya na nga siya ngayon. Things are getting worse for me each day. Problems come my way, and I have no single idea about how should I resolve it.

Hindi ko namalayang nakalapag na pala ang elevator. Agad akong pumasok sa conference area where the Board of Directors are waiting.

“I’m sorry to keep you guys waiting, I had something so important to do earlier.” I said without looking to the direction I’m walking since I’m pretty busy reading mails from my phone.

“Since when did you become unprofessional, Dr. Lim-Uy?” Napaangat ako. Shocked? Mesmerized? I don’t know. But why is she here?! “What a lame excuse. What’s more important than this meeting? Hindi ba’t ngayon mo makikilala ang new investor mo?” She smirked.
