''Hindi mo ba na-miss si natasha, maxein?'' tanong ng papa ni maxein, lumapit sakin si anthony, habang nang iinit na ang dugo ko dito sa father in law ko pati narin sa nanay kong walang kwenta at sa ahas na pinapasok nila sa burol ni mama lina.

"Are you okay?"tanong ni anthony, pero di ko siya sinagot.

"I don't miss you!"sagot ni maxein, which led his dad to anger. "be nice to natasha.'' sabi ng father in law ko, i went to the stove just to finish the freaking coffee they wanted, ang sarap ibuhos sa kanilang tatlo.

Maxein's POV

while my wife is in the kitchen, tinignan ni natasha ang nanay kong nasa kabaong, and smiled softly. ''she was a kind woman, Mr.Ferrer.'' sabi ni natasha, holding the glass of the coffin.

what do you know about my mother?!

''nice? what the hell do you know about my mother?'' i asked her, she smiled and looked up at me.

''we're friends back when you were still a student, magkakilala sila ng pamilya ko, and you know what they told me?

.

.

we're supposed to be married instead with amber.'' she snapped and smiled, ako naman na medyo nanlaki ang mga mata ko, nang iinit na ang dugo ko, what the hell is happening.

''The three of you! get out of my mother's funeral!'' i yelled, nilapitan ako ni khloe pati ni ali.

''how dare you speak to her husband like that, tatay mo ko, and i need to see my dead w--''

''You need to see your dead wife?! Dad!! Putangina! look at you! you don't even look so damn affected of what happened to your wife?!''i raised a voice at my own father, but yet he smirked at me like an arrogant and ignorant asshole.

''Okay, Maxein, if this is what you want.'' he said, walking away, habang bumitaw narin sakin si khloe. ''huminahon ka muna, maxein.'' saway sakin ni khloe, while ali just nodded as an agreement.

''Anak, why would you do that?'' sabi ni mom, or should we say amber's plastic mother, na nandyan parin para sa yaman ni amber.

''I'm sorry, my mother in law, pero if you guys still have some full respect for yourselves, you two just better leave my mother's funeral right now.'' i said, eyeing her.

''Chill out, Maxein. i'm here para makiramay sa inyong nararamdaman, i wanna show comfort for my dear maxein.'' sabi ni natasha, nilapitan pa ako nito.

''Natasha, please go back to your freaking cage and leave me alone!? i don't want you!''i yelled, nanlaki ang mga mata ni mom at napatingin sakin.

''Seriously? naging kayo? so you've been cheating on my daughter?'' she said, but i didn't answered and walked away, pero they're still hoping for some answers from me and trying to call my name so many times.

pinuntahan ko si amber na nagtitimpla ng kape, si anthony na nakaupo sa dine at tinitignan lang si amber mag halo ng kape ng paulit-ulit.

same for sami and anthony being concerned for my wife, agad kong nilapitan ang asawa ko at niyakap siya mula sa likod, feeling her smooth skin as i brush my lips against her exposed shoulder.

''I know i forgot about our anniversary, but i never forget that you're my wife and i love you so much.'' i said, and kissed her cheek as i felt sami and anthony chuckling and leaving us alone.

''Why the hell is she here?'' she asks as she still mix the coffee on a expensive white and wide mug.

''i don't know, i don't really know.'' i said, she turned around and held both my cheeks, looking up to me as she pressed her lips against my nose.

''this is my last warning, pag nagkamali kapa bibigwasan kita.''she said, i chuckled and kissed back her lips. 

''bigwas lang ah, walang iwan?'' i spoke in a begging tone, but she didn't answered and hugged me back instead, cornering me on the counter. ''just promise me she can't go near you again.'' she said.

''Amber? maxein?'' napatingin kami sa doorway, and it's my mother in law getting inside the kitchen and walking near us, napahiwalay kami ng yakap ni amber sa isa't isa and i was craving that unexpected comfort from my wife.

''Bakit po?'' amber asked.

''Please do me a favor and be nice to natasha, the both of you, please.'' she said, medyo nagalit at nawalan na naman ako sa mood, ano bang meron kay natasha?

''bakit ba!? ano bang meron dyan sa haliparot na yan at parang mas mahalaga pa sayo yun?!'' galit na sambit ni amber, pero ako napayakap nalang sakanya para huminahon siya ng konti.

''natasha is a very important person for me, kaya if you can't respect me as your mother, you better just off leave your father's last name completely.'' she said, at medyo nagagalit na siya sa kay amber, which i didn't liked the most, maraming kasalanan ang babaeng katulad niya, tapos may gana pa siyang magalit sa asawa ko?

''I think it's you who should leave, you cheated on my father and threatened me remember?'' amber snapped back, raising one eyebrow at tinatarayan ang mother in law niya.

''is this how you would talk back to your mother that day? remember, your dad isn't always loyal, kaya namatay mama mo dahil sa kagaguhan ng ama mo.'' sabi niya at nagsimula nang lumabas ng kitchen, walking away.

''Lumabas na rin ang baho niya.'' sabi ni amber, kahit ako nagagalit, i don't want amber being in this situation, that is just so plain wrong.
