This is only the third day na magkasama sila sa iisang bahay pero kung makaakto ito ay parang ilang buwan na silang mag-asawa. "This is our third day as husband and wife."

Kumunot ang noo nito. "So?"

Pilit na nginitian niya ito. "Nothing.."

"Alright, I get it. You don't have to say anything anymore." Umalis ito sa kama at pumasok sa banyo.

Napaawang ang labi ni Arwen. Is he angry?


DINAMPOT ni Killer ang susi ng kotse at ang kanyang wallet pagkatapos ay isinuot ang kanyang leather jacket at shades. Pagbaba niya sa hagdanan ay nakasalubong niya ang kanyang magandang asawa na halatang nagulat nang makita siyang nakabihis na.

"B-Breakfast is ready."

Hindi niya ito sinagot at nilampasan lang ito.

"Killer, where are you going?"

"None of your goddamn business." Nilingon niya ito.

Teasing is done. He's grown tired of it already. She was right. This is just an arranged marriage. They don't have feelings for each other so there's no point in building a good relationship with her. Simula ngayon, gagawin na niya ang orihinal na gusto nitong mangyari. Walang pakialaman. But of course, they have to act like a married couple in front of their families.

Nilingon niya ito nang maalala niya ang isang bagay. "Arwen, starting today you will sleep in your daughter's room. Gusto ko pag-uwi ko ay nailipat na ang mga gamit mo roon."

Nakita niya ang pagguhit ng gulat at sakit sa maganda nitong mukha pero wala siyang pakialam. Isn't this what she wants from the beginning? She should be happy with it! This is what you want. Don't blame me..



"Get out of my fucking office, Killer!" Taboy ni Gunner sa kanya. "I am busy as fuck. You can go to Ryde's house and ruin his day. He's still on-leave. I have no time to deal with you."

Nagde-cuatro si Killer at tinitigan ang kapatid. They're not really close and he hates him pero nandito lang siya para bwesitin ito, hindi para bisitahin ito. Isa pa, his brother is a married man and his wife hates him. May pagkakapareho ang sitwasyon nilang dalawa.

"Gunner, your wife hates you. That means you haven't slept with her since —"

Tumalim ang mga mata at ibinaba ang mga dokumentong hawak. Sa tuwing ang asawa nito ang pinag-uusapan, palagi nalang itong nagagalit.

"I will fucking shoot your mouth. She doesn't hate me." Sumandal ito sa upuan at tumitig sa kawalan. "No.. She doesn't hate me but I - I am not so sure."

Napailing si Killer. "Well, my wife doesn't really hate me but still, she doesn't want to sleep with me. Don't tell the old man about this. He'll get disappointed."

Umangat ang kilay nito at tiningnan siya. "Oh. Then do —"

"I am not a rapist like you." Putol niya rito at agad namang sumama ang timpla ng ekspresyon nito. Marahas na bumuntong-hininga ito. "I don't want to force her."

"Well, as you said — my wife hates me and we're in the same situation when it comes to that issue. If you don't know what to do, so am I. But I love my wife, Killer. I've done wrong things in the past that's why I am paying the price now. If she doesn't want me then I will wait no matter how long. I don't want to repeat the same mistake again. And as for you, you don't have feelings for your wife so I don't understand why you're so bothered by it. Kung tigang ka na then, do something about it. You used to sleep around with different women every single night, right? You can still do that. Kasal lang naman kayo sa papel. No feelings involved."
