HIS UNWANTED WIFE

Chapter 3:New Identity

Habang nasa kwarto ako ni Kaizen ay bigla namang may pumasok ng mga kasambahay at isa-isang nilapag ang mga paper bags.Siguro ay ang mga pinabili ko ito.

Tumayo ako sa pagkakahiga sa kama at isa-isang tinignan ang mga paper bags.

Damit,make-up,bikini's,sunscreen at iba pa, galing pumili ng secretary niya, halos lahat ng damit na gusto ko. Pero may iba rito na palagay ko ay di akin, mga longsleeve na plain na pang opisina siguro kay Kaizen ang mga ito.

Pinuntahan ko naman si Kaizen sa opisina niya, binuksan ko ng kaunti ang pinto at dumungaw pero may kausap ito sa telepono kaya sinirado ko nalang ang pinto at napagpasyahan na mamaya nalang mag pasalamat sa kanya.Aalis na sana ako pero tinawag niya ako mula sa loob, nakita niya siguro akong dumu-dungaw kanina. "Jane" aniya

Agad ko namang binuksan ang pinto at pumasok sa loob, magulo ang buhok niya, may suot din siyang eyeglasses, ang attractive niyang tignan.

"Thank you nga pala"

"You're always welcome. By the way, I have something important to share with you. It's unfortunate news. My secretary informed me that your family believed you had tragically perished in the accident. They assumed this because, after I rescued you from your car, it unexpectedly exploded. It seems they may have thought you were still inside when the explosion occurred. Yesterday, they went ahead and organized a funeral for you." He expressed his concern, his worried expression reflecting his genuine care for my well-being

"And? " sabi ko, walang akong pake sa kanila ang gusto lang ngayon ay mag-enjoy, para bang gusto ko lang maging masaya at di ako apektado sa mga nangyayari sakanila, kase I feel like kahit kaylan sa buhay ko di ako naging masaya.

Tinignan naman ako ni Kaizen,kumunot ang noo nito hindi ata makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.

"They arranged a funeral for you, even when you're still alive, and yet you don't seem to care about it. You have a husband who's probably sad about you passing away, and yet you don't seem to care." Kaizen expressed his annoyance, although I couldn't help but notice a faint smile that he was attempting to conceal

"Well, I don't know, but I don't care. I want to change my name since they already killed Mary Jane Cortez Saldivar. I want to become a new person." I confidently declared.

He massaged his forehead and let out a sigh, then turned to look at me. His green eyes sparkled as they caught the sunlight.

"Are you truly aware of what you're saying? Are you absolutely certain? You want to alter your name, your very identity?" he inquired, seeking reassurance regarding my decision.

"Yes, I am aware of what I am saying, and I am absolutely sure that I want to change my name and identity. The person known as Mary Jane Cortez Saldivar is no longer a part of me, and I want to start fresh as a new individual. I have my own personal reasons for doing this, and I hope you can support and understand my decision. Please assist me in the process of changing my identity," I responded with conviction, maintaining eye contact. I could also perceive a hint of surprise in his eyes, along with a glimmer of understanding

He sighed and said, "Okay, if that's what you want, then from this day forward, you are no longer Mary Jane Cortez Saldivar."

"Alright then, from this day forward, I will be known as Sierra Isla," I confidently declared. "And... can... I... use your last name?" I asked him, nervously fidgeting my fingers as I awaited his response.

"Sierra Isla Cervantes, that shall be your name from this day forward," he confirmed.

"Talaga!? Okay thank you, Kai" saad ko rito, at niyakap siya ng mahigpit
