"Mauna ka na sa bahay ihahatid ko pa si Zaira, dalahin mo na 'to." Inabot niya sa'kin ang mga gamit niya, and right before he walked away, nag-iwan nanaman siya ng bilin sa akin.
"Don't date, just go home. I want to see you there when I get back." what? Kapag ako hindi pwede pero siya okay lang?
"Do you really have to do this?" I asked, too late to realize and hold myself back. Kumunot ang noo niya dahil sa naging tanong ko.
"What? It's normal sending your girlfriend home." I gritted my teeth.
"I am your wife." madiin na sabi ko, emphasizing the word wife. And that made him laugh insulting and mocking.
"Wake up, Mavis." His voice was sharp, cutting through the thick silence like a blade.
"I married you because I had to—to save my family. That doesn't give you the right to stop me."
