NICOLE is Rhemuel's ex-girlfriend. Narinig ko ang pag-uusap nila sa sala. His mom was trying to make them mag-jowa again. Part of me wants to oppose, pero sino ba naman ako. I already had Marco, anyway.
Pinagtimpla ko pa sila ng juice kahit labag sa kalooban ko. Again, I am acting as Maria kaya't paninindigan ko na ito, and my mommy-in-law is here, I want to be a good daughter-in-law sa mga mata nito.
"Juice muna." Masigla kong sabi sa mga ito sabay lapag ng tray sa lamesita.
I sat beside Rhemuel at nagtataka akong tiningnan ng tatlo.
Why? I asked them using my expression.
That Nicole smiled at me. "Ikaw pala asawa ni Kuya Marco."
Pilit akong ngumiti sabay kuha ng isang basong juice. Uminom muna ako bago sumagot. As if hello, nakakauhaw kaya.
"Yes." Sagot ko.
My mother-in-law
