Prologue
I've always wondered how it feels to be married,
Iiyak ba ako? Siguro.
But,
one thing's for sure, it'll ruin my make up.
Yet it will show the real me.
But in the eyes of the guy in front of me, I know I would still be the prettiest woman.
However, will he still going to give me that look of possession if my tears will wash away my make ups and be replaced by the infamous reality?
The reality that this love we're sharing is not real.
The reality that this love is full of pain, anger and violence. The reality that this love isn't love.
Because this love which he thought worth dying for wants him DEAD.

"Are you alright?" naibalik ko ang utak ko nang magtanong ang lalaking nasa harapan ko. Laking gulat ko rin nang haplusin niya ang magkabila kong pisngi.
He wiped my tears. I was crying. Yeah, of course.
"It's your turn honey..." He pinched my cheeks and then smiled. I smiled back and took a deep breath.
I was about to say my vow when a loud explosion came in.
What the hell!
I saw blood.
They're already here.
But,
Why on earth am I crying?
Unti-unti syang tumayo at lumapit sa akin.
"Everything will be alright. Don't cry" he said with a tone of assurance.
How can he say that?
Pinahid niya rin ang butil ng mga luha sa magkabila kong pisngi. Again.
And then, he smiled. Again.
His sweet smile brought me to pain.
"I--Im s-sorr--y" halos pabulong kong tugon sakanya.
"What do you mean? You love me right?" I saw tears falling down to his cheeks. I felt trembling of my knees as he was saying those words.
"I-Im sorry" mas malinaw at malakas kong paghingi sakanya ng tawad.
Di sya nagsalita bagkus ay niyakap ako ng mahigpit.
"Because me...I really love you and I'd love to-- --- "
Nakaramdam ako ng matulis na bagay sa parteng likod ko. Holy shit.

"Kill you....." Oh, shit. I can't see anything. Darkness is suffocating me.
and a realization is killing me now...
He knew about this love.
This murderous love.
