I'm looking at my phone reading hate comments saying that i'm a snake, slut, whore, and any other names. Para akong nawalan ng gana sa lahat, pakiramdam ko unti-unti akong naglalakad papunta sa dulo ng bangin para mahulog.
I covered my face with pillow and then someone called me and I answered it since it was unknown.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Magui, can we talk?" Oh it's Hollace. "Magui, please?"
"I'm sorry." I ended the call and sighed. Damn it! I cried on my pillow begging for God to stop the pain. Sa oras na labagin ko ang kontrata ay sigurado akong makakasuhan ako at mapapabayad ng malaking halaga at katumbas din non ay pagkawala ng mga pinaghirapan ko.
Malaki na ang ipon ko pero kaya ko bang mawala lahat ng pinaghirapan ko sa isang iglap lang?
Pero kung hindi ko naman lalabagin paano sila Hailey? Si Hardin? at magin si Hollace na ama ng mga anak ko? Gustong-gusto kong labagin ang kontrata pero hindi ko alam kung paano, sigurado akong malaking kasiraan 'to.
Kahit gaano kalaking halaga ang babayaran ay alam ko namang mababayaran ko 'yon pero sisirain ko ang tiwala nila Ms. Elizabeth? Itatapon ko lahat ng pinaghirapan ko? Pero lahat naman ng 'to para sa mga taong mahal ko at sila ang nakataya dito.
"Tangina!" I shouted and cried. "What should I do?"
"Maybe it's your time to let you heart decide." Megan said and smiled. "Nawala na ang lahat sayo noon at sana naman ay wag na maulit, Ate, piliin mo naman kung saan ka sasaya."
"Paano 'tong trabaho ko?"
"Sus parang hindi ka naman kayang buhayin ni Hollace kahit ata isang daang anak niyo kaya nun buhayin eh tsaka ate, mayaman ka na kaya." She said and she sat beside me. "Piliin mo naman kung saan ka sasaya."
"Paano sila Ms. Elizabeth?"
"Tangina anong paano sila? Paano ka?" She said and knocked on my forehead making me glare at her. "I made a lot of mistakes before at sana wag mo akong tularan."
"Ikaw lang naman ang bawal makipagkita kay Kuya Hollace diba?" Marcus smiled and Hailey and Hardin showed up. Mukhang aalis sila. "Kami na ni Ate Megan ang bahala."
"H-Ha?"
"Hatdog ko paborito ni Nate." Binato siya ng unan ni Megan at hindi ko alam kung anong saya ang mararamdaman ko.
The car stopped outside the park and I already saw Hollace waiting while my twins were looking at him at mukhang natulala sila. Gustong ko silang makita na magkita kahit sa malayo manlang.
"What will you both say to Daddy?" I asked Hailey and Hardin they both looked so excited.
"We don't know." Hardin said while still looking at his Dad and I can see smile at his face.
They was about to go out the car when a man in suit together with policemen dropped out of their car and knocked on the car. My eyes widened after seeing Miss Elizabeth stepped out of her car.
"Wag niyong papabain ang mga bata." I said.
"Mommy what's happening?!" Hardin shouted and Marcus stopped them and I stepped out.
"Margareth Gui Arceo, you are under arrest for breaching contract." The policemen said together with Miss Elizabeth's attorney. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used for or against you in court."
The police made me turn my back and cuffed my hand and I can see Hollace looking at the fountain still waiting. I felt a tear dropped from my eyes while looking at him. Damn you don't deserve this Hollace, you deserve the best.
"Ate!" Megan shouted while crying.
"Megan, stay in the car! Call a lawyer!" I shouted and the police made me step inside the car.
I'm now sitting on a chair while Dalton is sitting infront of me.
"I'll pay." I said. "How much is it? Hundred thousand dollars? I'll pay it right now."
"You're already important to my Mom." He said and leaned on his chair. "I can help you with this-"
"I don't need your help, i'll pay."
"That's absurd, Magui." He said. "I know that you have a lots of money now, hindi mo lang 'to kasiraan, kasiraan din 'to ni Mom at maging ni Hollace."
"W-What?"
"They're maybe not married yet but do you think it's a good image for a lawyer to cheat? What I mean is magkaroon ng third party? Don't you think people find it weird?" He said. "Ano nalang sasabihin ng mga client niya?"
"Hindi pa sila noon nagkita kami sa Taguig at wala kaming ginawang masama! Maging sa Boracay nahiwalay na sila non!"
"Pero hinalikan ka niya sa charity event?" He smirked and my brows furrowed. "He was taken that time, Marga."
"Are you fucking stalking me?! Or you hired someone to stalk me?!"
I pursed my lips and he was just watching me.
"I'm the only one who can help you right now, Marga. Pay and be with him but his name will be ruined? You're not even sure if he'll accept the twins or worst he'll accept them but he'll take them away from you."
He looked at me and I looked at away.
"How about Hailey and Hardin? Ano nalang iisipin nila kung maririnig nila sa ibang tao na masama ang tingin sa magulang nila? Na nasangkot sa issue ng cheating ang pareho niyang magulang?"
I don't know what to fucking say! Damn parang nawawalan ako ng choices.
"I'll be talking to my client now, you may leave." I looked at who talked and my eyes widened after seeing Hollace.
"You'll bring her to her own downfall." Dalton smirked and left, Hollace looked at me.
"I'll pay for everything including the the termination of contract and the money you need to pay for the breach or the fucking fine." He said and he was about to touch my hand when I moved it away. "Magui."
"Kasiraan ko at kasiraan mo 'to Hollace."
"Do you think I still fucking care?! I want you, only you and fuck this shit." He hold my hand and kissed it. "I'll get you out of here and out of them."
"Hollace-"
"Do you think that my name matters? I'm a fucking lawyer not a damn actor." He said and stood up and caressed my cheek. "Magui, please?"
"Hollace, pangalan ko ang nakataya dito. Hollace, kung ikaw walang iniingatan na pangalan pwes ako meron!"
"M-Magui."
"And if it's you or my career, I'll definitely choose my career, Hollace! What happened between us was just a plain sex!" He looked at me with his teary eyes. "I'm gonna pay for the breach, find a new handler. Babalik na akong New York."
"It's been ten years and you still can't choose me." He smiled bitterly. "Sabagay sino ba naman ako para piliin mo diba?"
"Hollace."
"Tangina, sampung putanginang taon na lumipas tanga pa 'rin ako sayo! Isang halik lang tangina akala ko may pag-asa na ulit tayo! Isang gabi isang putanginang gabi!" He cried and my eyes widened when he kneeled infront of me. "Piliin mo naman ako kahit ngayon lang, Magui."
I bit my lip and looked away.
"I'll help you to rebuild your name damn it, i'll do everything. Magui, mahal na mahal kita eh."
"My decision is final, Hollace."
Lumabas ako ng police station na kasabay na naglalakad si Hollace at nakatahimik lamang siya habang naglalakd kami at napansin ko si Dalton na naghihintay at nakasandal sa kanyang kotse.
"She'll be riding in my car." Dalton said and Hollace glared at him.
"Fuck off." He said and he pulled me away but Dalton managed to take my other hand. "Get your fucking hand off of her."
"Will you both stop?!"
"Get your hands off of her or you'll be fucking regret it." I can see the veins in his arms while glaring at Dalton.
"She's not yours, kahit kailan hindi siya naging sayo-"
My eyes widened when Hollace punched him and I immediately went near him to see if he's okay.
"Hollace!" He shrugged and looked away while I can still see anger at his eyes as he pushed the inner of his cheeks using his tongue while looking away from us.
"Fuck, what happened here?" Marcus said after he came. "Nevermind, let's go, Ate."
Wala na ang lahat maging ang kontrata at hindi man sobrang laki ng perang nawala kumpara sa meron ako ngayon pero nakakapanghinayang pa 'rin. Iniisip kong itigil na lamang ang pagiging model at magbukas na lamang ng isang business.
"Hey." Marcus sat beside me and smiled. "Musta?"
I bitterly smiled and bit looked at him.
"Ang daya ng mundo, gusto ko lang naman maging masaya eh."
"Oh." He placed a brown envelope infront of me. "Pruweba kung sino dahilan kung bakit may picture na kumalat."
Binuksan ko 'yon at nakita ko ang mga litrato ni Dalton na may ka-kamay na isang lalake at sa pangalawang litrato ay nakita ko naman ang lalakeng ka-kamay niya na kinukuhanan kami ng litrato ni Hollace sa Taguig.
"Salamat sa mga fans niyo ni Dalton." He laughed and I can't believe at what I saw. Damn. I feel so betrayed. "Gusto kong maging masaya ka naman, Ate. Gusto kong piliin mo naman ang sarili mo ngayon."
I know what to do now. He'll always be worth the risk.
"Momm? Mommy!" Hailey and Hardin looking so happy after seeing me and they immediately hugged me and they both look so much happy.
"Mommy, are you okay? Tito Dad was the one who caused you some troubles right?!" Hardin said looking so angry. "He did this! Dad and I will kill him!"
"Yeah, he did this, hate him more, kids." Marcus said and he walked away after I gave him a glare.
"Hating someone is just a waste of time, Hardin." I smiled and gave him a kiss. "Don't listen to your Tito."
"Well, Tito Pogi is right! He deserves the hate! How could he put you behind the bars?!" Hailey said and her tiny fist clenched. "I hate him!"
"Stop it, kids, masama yan." I said and caressed their cheek. "Listen to Mommy okay? No matter how many bad things people did, learn to forgive, okay? If you can't forgive just ignore. Hate and anger is just a waste of time."
