HIS EX-WIFE

CHAPTER: 2

lumipas pa ang mga araw

at kagaya nga nang iniisip ko ay nag tagal pa rin si Beatriz rito saamin at baka bukas ay bibisita ang mama ni Zyden.

"Samira, can you get the orange juice at the kitchen and bring it here?"Beatriz requested it.

"uhm, yaya juliet pwede po bang paki kuh-"

"i want you to do it e.."she said politely

nahinto ako at tumingin sa kanya. yes every morning sabay sabay kami kumakain at ang pinag kaiba lang ngayon ay nasa duluhang bahagi ako ng mesa habang sila ay mag katabi.

tumingin ako kay Zyden na ngayon ay seryosong naka tingin saakin na parang may halong galit

i sighed and do it.

kinuha ko ang nais nito saka dinala sa hapag kainan.

"serve us pwede?"she fake politely asked again.

fine

"pinag sawaan kana ba?"she whispered to me while im pouring some orange juice on their glasses

saka natamaan ni beatriz ang kamay ko kayat na tapon ang iba sa lamesa at sa trouser nyang puti na suot suot ngayon....

"what the f*ck?!"gulat nito

"im so sorry"pag ka bigla kong sambit

"you did it on purpose isn't it?"bahagyang may diin ang salita ni Zyden sakin.

is he blaming me again?!

"i didn't! she accidentally hit my hand thats why"i answered.

"stop lying Samira. if you hate me then just tell me than doing this immature thing!"she irritated said

"so now? what am i supposed to do now zyden?"she said pointing her white pants that turns orange

he sighed and look at me seriously.

"Yaya Juliet can you wipe this mess and also assist Beatriz in her room"he commanded

"just change, beatriz. im really sorry"i said.

kahit pa hindi ko kasalanan ay ako na ang humingi ng tawad para lamang wala ng away pa. im sick of that.

after that beatriz stand up and assisted to her room to change.

kaya naiwan na lamang kaming dalawa ni Zyden dito sa dining area. its kinda awkward tho.

"my mom's birthday will be this week and i already planned to throw a party in the company. also, i just wanna remind you about us that..."he paused

"we need to act like a married couple again infront of her and everyone inside that celebration"he said.

tumango lamang ako

"how about her?" i asked

"can i join?"singit nmn ni Beatriz.

"no"he shortly said and look at me.

saka na ito bumalik sa kanyang pwesto at naupo.

maya maya lamang din ay nahulog ang tinidor nya na malapit saakin.

"oh im so sorry. im such a silly person"she said and she fake laughed

"can you get my fork, samira?"she asked again

huminga muli ako nang malalim bago iyon gawin kahit na wala ako sa mood.

hayst!!!

agad ko naman inabot ang tinidor nya pero bago iyon ay inapakan nya ang aking kamay.

"ouch!!"

agad ko syang tinignan na palihim na naka ismid saakin saka ako tumayo at nais comprontahin ito.

"masyado kan-!"

"you have no right to shout her or even hurt her, samira!"he shouted and also stand to face me.

"hindi mo ba nakita kung paano nya apakan at diinan ang pag apak niya sa kamay ko?!"i shouted to him

"are blind? or just deaf?!"said

"i didn't mean to step her hand Zyden"pabebeng tunog nito

"just hurt or shouted her again i swear i will tell to everyone what you did you slu..!"he didn't continue what he was about to say.

"GO ON SAY IT!"i shouted back

ano nakokonsyensya ka na ba sa mga binibitawan mong salita?!

mga salitang kanyang binitawan ay isa nanamang kagat ng dinosaur ang sakit.

is that how you really see me now? a slut? pok pok? stripper? gold digger? LAHAT LAHAT NA.

tinignan ko lamang sya at hindi maka paniwala sa mga pinag sasabi nya.

i look at beatriz and i saw how she smirked on me.

i just left them as i went back on my room before i burst into tears

Celebration Day:

"just dont talk to much when we went their. dont make a scene"he remind me while we are here inside of his Limousin car.

we are on our way at their company to celebrates Mama Amabel's birthday

im wearing royal red to dark red gown with a slit on the side, as well as a masquerade black to hide my face from everyone

and we are here.

the guard open the door for us and then he came out before me.

he waited for me and he hold my hand to assist me. that's the first time i hold his hand after we got divorce.

after they took a picture i held his hand tightly as if i dont wanna let him go.

bumati kami sa mga ibang naka tatandang nag tatrabaho rito ang sa mga business partners nila

everyone is here except his mom since she is the main spot here that's why bongga ang entrance nya. this is her 60th birthday celebration.

"oh hello Mrs. Cazvalle. it's nice to see you again" bati ng iba saka ko sila kinamayan.

"mukhang matibay ang pag sasamahan nyong mag asawa ha?"masayang bati ng isang kumare ni tita/mom.

pekeng tumawa nmn ako at kunwari ay umaagree.

maya maya lamang din ay agad ako hinila ni zyden gamit ang kamay niya na kaholding hands ko ngayon.

saka nya ako pilit na inilalagay sa likuran nito

"whats wrong?"i whispered to him form his back

"dont talk to much to everyone!" bulong nito na may pag ka inis.

"and now lets well come the birthday girl. Mrs. Amabel Cazvalle"the mc announced.

that's why everyone got their attention to the door and waiting to open and after that they prepare their surprised items, such as confetti, to throw at her

saka nag bukas ang pintuan at naroroon si mama/tita.

agad nmn ako hinila ni Zyden malapit kay tita/ mama upang makita kami.

"hello po kuya"bati ko sa kapatid ni Zyden habang si Zyden naman ay balewala ito sa kapatid

saka na namin pinuntahan si mama/ tita upang salubungin .

"samira! you are here"masayang bati nito saakin

at biglang nag hagis sila ng confetti ang at buti ay hindi kinagulat ni mama amabel.

"lets take a picture!!"singit ng isang photographer saka kami nag picture kasama si Zyden na nasa likod at ang kanyang kuya habang ako nmn ay niyakap ni Mama/tita

"happy birthday po"i greeted her and she smile.

after that the celebration starts. Zyden hold my hands again and we went now on our place.

we sat together and watch the party together

hanggang sa maka upo kami ay naka tingin lamang ako sa aming kamay na mag kahawak. ang mga kamay na sanay hindi na mag hiwalay pa sa susunod na araw at buwan

can we just stay here? can we just stay like this? can we just stay like husband and wife? where in i can call you mine?

saka na nya binitawan ang kamay ko nang maka upo na kami nang matagal. he didn't look at me or even talk to me after.

we're strangers again..

if only i can prove him they are wrong siguro we're still happy..

am i desperate to still wanting him?

"let's welcome our special guest!"the mc announced kaya nag si tinginan kami roon.

who?

the door reveal a beautiful girl and thats... beatriz.

everyone clap their hands as they welcome her. she's smiling to everyone, papunta sya kay mama amabel. i can see on mama Amabel's eyes she really enjoying this party. mama amabel also took care beatriz when she was a baby.

yes childhood friends sila ni zyden they grow up together but when beatriz turn 14 she left the Philippines.

hinawakan ko ng palihim ang kanyang kamay na nasa ibaba ng lamesa ngunit inalis nya ito.

he's just looking at her.

i am here zyden can you please look at me again like we used to?

please?

oo nga pala wala akong karapatan magalit sa kanya. wala akong karapatan angikinin siya. wala akong karapatan mag selos.

im just nobody for him now.

Beatriz greeted mama amabel and after that Zyden stood up.

i hold his hand to stop him

"dont go"i said, hoping he wont go and stay by my side but no he look at me angrily and whispered

"your presence really disgusting me"he said without hesitation.

what i need to do for you to believe me? i did everything but why are you still like this?

saka na niya inalis ang kamay ko sa kamay nya at doon ay pinuntahan nya si beatriz to assist her to walk. everyone cant denied that she shine so bright here in this party.

pumunta sila sa isang table at doon sila nag pwesto saka sila nag usap. while here i am, waiting for him to sit besides me.

kita sa mga mata nya na masaya itong kausap si Beatriz, na hindi ko naranasan after 2 years naming kasal noon.

since everyone knows i am Zyden's wife so if he talks to Beatriz wala nang malisya iyon dahil iisipin nila ay para sa business ito.

since beatriz is also well known influencer here in the Philippines kaya malaki rin ang advantage na makukuha nila kay Beatriz.

how long should i take this?

how long should i hold on?

because right now im still hoping for us to be together again!

im hoping that someday you will understand me and believe on me.

why's everyone hated me? wala akong ginawang masama!

if i told this on my father he surely be very disappointed on me dahil mas kakampihan nya si Zyden kesa saakin and of course kakampihan niya iyon so that he can benefit.

he really don't care on me.

mama Amabel is in bad condition so if i told this to her for sure she will be so stressed out. baka hindi rin niya ako paniwalaan like her son.

Zyden is still angry on me for sure he will not listen to me. im a trash for him

if everyone knew about our divorce, magagalit ang lahat. they will blame me and they will cursed me to death.

tumindig ako upang pumunta sa cr. i need to check my make up if ayos pa ba dahil nararamdaman kong muli ang luha na namumuo mula sa aking mga mata.

until i bump to someone

"f*ck! are you blind?"pasigaw nito na bahagyang naka pukaw ng atensyon sa mga iilang malapit na tao rito.

"sorry"paumanhin ko rito saka dire diretsyong nag tungo sa rest room

agad ako nag tungo sa cubicle ng cr at doon lamang ako naka hinga ng maluwag. mabilis ang pintig ng puso ko at puro lungkot lamang ang unti unting sumasaksak sa puso ko.

nanginginig ang aking kamay saka ko dali daling kinuha ang salamin ko upang tignan kung maayos pa ba ang make up ko and thank god ayos pa nmn re touch lang ng kaunti ay ayos na.

i will never be as beautiful as she is

paulit ulit na nang sisink in sa utak ko ang mga salitang iyon

he will never believe you

he will never forgive you

FUCK!

saka muli nanginginig ang aking mga kamay. hirap ako huminga dahil sa pag pipigil ng aking mga luha.

ang bigat.

.......

kaya mo to Samira

everything will be fine soon.

if its too much ikaw na mismo bumitaw sa kasunduan nyo. thats just as easy as you think so calm down!

pag kukumbinsi ko sa sarili.

huminga ako nang malalim saka tumingala upang maalis ang bigat.

i carefully wipe my tears and put some make up again

"palipasin mo lang ang araw na ito Samir-"i said to myself.

"kahit ano pang iiyak mo dyan, he will never like you again. nakaka diri kana sa paningin nya"someone talk from behind the door.

"zyden still remember his promises on me, na ako ang makakasama nya sa pag tanda. ako ang pinangakuan nya noon pa lamang na kami ang mag sasama habang buhay"Beatriz said

saka ko na inayos ang aking sarili at inilagay ang mask(mascara)sa aking mukha sa bandang mata upang maitago muli ang aking itsura sa lahat. muli akong lumabas ng cr at hindi ko na lamang pinansin ang sinabi ni Beatriz

"he's planning to marry me soon"she added.

hearing those words hurts alot tho, but i have to avoid her to avoid issues.

after that i just walk straight to avoid anymore scene.

sa hindi kalayuan ay napansin ko si Zyden na nag hihintay malapit rito sa Rest room

"zyden"i called him saka ako lumapit sa kanya.

is he waiting for me?

i smiled to him as i walk towards to him. this will be the first time im smiling to him.

or... im just assuming?
