Her Cruel Husband (COMPLETED || EDITING)

CHAPTER 13

Maxima's Point of View:

"Hi, anak! How are you?" Bungad na tanong sa 'kin ni mom sa tawag. Napangiti ako habang inaayos ang mga gamit ko.

"I'm fine, mom. Kayo ni Dad, kamusta kayo?" I asked. Narinig ko namang natawa si Dad. "Very fine, anak."

"Max, let's go!" I heard my kuya Devon said. "Mom, sige na po. Kita nalang tayo jaan sa Pinas. Bye, love you." I said at ako na ang nag end ng call.

Agad ko ng kinuha ang maleta ko at nauna na akong lumabas ng bahay at pumunta na ako sa loob ng sasaktan ni Kuya Devon.

"Anong sabi ni Mom?" He asked. "Nangangamusta lang." I answered. Tumango naman siya at sinimulan na niyang paandarin ang sasakyan niya papunta sa Airport.

It's been 5 years ng umalis ako sa Pilipinas. I stayed 5 years here in New York. Hindi ganon kadali ang naging buhay ko dito. Limang taon narin akong naging ganap na model dito and fortunately ay naging worth it parin naman ang pagtira namin dito. I'm now 30 years old, I'm getting old na diba?

All I can say is I am got my freedom. All the pain and being suffered before is also worth it. I learned a lot for what happened before. I can totally say na naka-moved on na ako sa kaniya. Yes, I already moved on to My Abusive Ex-Husband but wala naman akong pinagsisisihan sa lahat, lalong-lalo na ang minahal ko siya noon.

Yes, he hurt me so much for a very long time but the pain made me more stronger. And I realized that, No matter how much it hurts now, one day you will look back and realize your struggles and pains changed your life for the better.

I am now a Successful woman, all my hard work is worth it. Limang taon na rin akong hindi pumasok pa sa isang relasyon. I don't know why, but I guess I am now scared to love again. I don't need a man right now, I don't someone who will broke my heart again. I can stand in my own without a man.

Well for me, the smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man.

I really don't need a man. I am happy and contented for what I have right now. Lady gaga once said "Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore." And I choose to reached all my dreams, than wasting time to find someone who will break me in the end.

Please take note that As you strive to become and live as a smart, successful, and strong woman, I want to share some thoughts for you to carefully consider and remember on your journey.

You are a woman. While you are not an identical copy of every other female, you are distinctly a woman. There is not a singular way all women act, think, look, feel, and speak, but being a woman is distinct from being a man.

You are equal in worth and dignity with men, yet you are distinct in your design and purpose. Your worth and dignity are not rooted in your womanhood.

To be honest, someone tried to courted me before but I rejected him. Because being in a relationship with someone again is not my hobby anymore, like what I said I don't need a man because I can live without a man who will break me in the end.

And hanggang kaibigan lang naman ang turing ko sa kaniya. Matagal ko narin naman ng napapansin na may gusto siya sa 'kin, pero noong unang araw na panliligaw niya sa 'kin ay ni-rejected ko na siya. Ayoko rin naman na paasahin siya, I even said to him that day that he deserves a better woman, and I am not that woman.
