His Wrath

Prologue

As the only daughter of my mom, kaming dalawa na lang ang magkatuwang sa buhay magmula ng kinuha sa amin si papa to heaven. Growing up, I always tend to look positive in every aspects of life.

I was a proud daughter of my mom for raising me well. Hindi nagkulang si mama sa pagpapaalala sa akin na maging mabuting tao. If we can’t find one, then why not be the one? libreng maging mabuti sa mundo nating ginagalawan. Napakaharsh na nga ng mundo tapos dagdagdag pa tayo. That was the reason why I love sending positivity to others. I am used to smile for everyone, nakagagaan ng feeling kapag ngumiti rin sila pabalik sa akin, simple gesture but makes you positive all day.

My life becomes more radiant when I met the man of my dreams, the man of everyone’s dream rather. I first saw him when I was 17, at the company that offers scholarship for less privileged people like me. He looked like a real life character from a manga toon, he seem surreal. Though, I only saw him once but he already stayed in my mind. Later, I found out that he doesn’t belong to the same status as me because he was way higher, he’s a son of a billionaire.

Despite the fact that he’s unreachable gusto ko pa ring mapalapit sa kanya, kaya after college I applied at Bertareli Corporation, their company. Luckily, I got the chance to work with him. I still remember the most memorable encounter with him. It was the day I got the chance to talk to him for the very first time though what we talked about is work related. I’m so thankful for that brief moment it made me the happiest girl alive.

Before I got to know him, I lived my life believing that goodness brings goodness back to you. I was also the Nathalie who always believed in love and that love can be taught. But I was completely wrong, David proved the otherwise.

He taught me that not all those you love, will love you back.

“Pa, I don’t love her and she’s not the woman I want to marry!” David said. Ang sakit-sakit lang na marinig mismo sa bibig ng mahal mo ang katagang di ka niya mahal.

That not all those you care, will do the same.

“Priscilla is the one that I love and nobody can ever replace her!” he whispered. His words are just too painful, cruelly crashing my heart that I would rather wish to suffer physically than this.

That kindness doesn’t always returns as kindness.

“Just so you know, don’t you dare run away because I will search the ends of the world just to throw you in hell!” minahal ko lang naman siya, in fact, I gave everything to him. But what did I get in return?

And that love also gets reciprocated with apathy

“Brace yourself because I’m still yet to start.”

I loved him with all my life. I’ve been secretly admiring him for the past nine years of my life. Along those years he was my strength, aside from my mom who always cheers me up. He was my home, where I can calm down and ease my worries because he was my querencia.Kahit na nagmumukha na akong tanga.The words ‘stop loving him’, never crossed my mind.

I loved him when I was whole, but he chose to break me over and over again, I gave him love but he gave me his wrath in return. I know I can endure his wrath but his insults to me are endless.

I guess it’s time to just leave this to fate.
