“What are you saying?” I said. Hindi na ba matatapos ang mga surprises ngayong araw? Mayroon pa ba?
“Zeph, we can’t be together. Clearly, we don’t love each other. We tried, yes. But we can’t---“
Natigil siya sa pagsasalita ng biglang dumapo ang aking palad sa kanyang mukha. God! I’m fuming mad! How could they easily let go of the marriage? Ganito na lang ba mapupunta ang pananakit nila sa akin?
“Stop that bullshit! You two killed me for that marriage and now you’re telling me that you’re getting an annulment?! You freaking hurt me! You sacrificed my happiness just because you don’t have the balls to defend your love for me. Tapos ito ang igaganti niyo sa akin? Itatapon niyo ito tulad ng kung paano niyo ako itinapon?”
“Z-zeph---“
“No! Stay away from me!” He tried to reach me out pero itinulak ko lang siya o di kaya ay tinatabig ang kanyang kamay.
“Paano ang anak niyo? Ano ang magiging buhay ng anak niyo, ha?”
“We can still be good parents kahit hiwalay---“
“Tang ina! Hindi na kayo nakuntentong sirain ang buhay ko pati buhay ng anak niyo sisirain niyo rin?!” I let out curses for how many times habang patuloy niya akong pinapakiusapan na kumalma.
But I can’t be calm! I can’t! Anong karapatan nilang maghiwalay ng dahil lang sa nahihirapan na sila at hindi na nila kaya? Pinili nila iyan. The arranged marriage is indeed a big reason but they have freaking choices! Walang sinuman ang makakakotrol sa pag-iisip at desisyon ng isang tao kung hindi niya hinayaan na kontrolin siya!
“Zeph, please, calm down. Why can’t you just be happy that we’re getting annulled? More than a month ago you were crying. We were crying and I felt right at that moment that you still love me. Kahit hindi mo sinabi sa akin alam kong naghihintay ka sa akin. So, we can be together now. Wala ng hadlang.”
I looked at him disgustingly. Ang kapal ng mukha niya. Ngayon pa? Ngayon pa siya magsasabi na pwede na kami?
“That was before, Miguel! Ikaw na ang nagsabi noong isang buwan yun!”
Biglang nag-igting ang kanyang panga. “Ano ang pagkakaiba ng nakaraang buwan sa ngayon? That was just more than 30 days ago!”
